Vertrecs declared that novor had mora just claims been presented to tho land office- than those of the Cunningham crotfp, which Glavts pro tested, and which caused tho contro versy which onded la tho congression al Investigation. Ho declared that If tho Cunning ham affidavit had been drawn "eth ically" by tho secretary of tho Inte rior that was a matter beyond tho power of tho committee to Investi gate.

Ho denounced Garfield as a tool of Plnchot and declared that Garfield's Jealousy when ho learned ho was not to be in the now cabinet caused him to seek revenge, which tho attorney Intimated had ended In tho present Investigation. Representative McCall today read a letter from Assistant Attorney Gen eral 'Oscar Lawler, written to Chair man Nelson of tho committee, re tracting hlo disparaging remarks against C. P. Connolly, and apolo gizing for having uttered them. Vertrees declared that tho testi mony of the clerks of tho interior department absolutely vindicated Sallinger. "Guggenheim," ho said, "seems to be tho bogey of tho west. I presume he has virtues and faults as every human being has. I know that ho is building a railroad in Alaska. I also lenow that ho Is not trying to float a hand issue, which Is certainly to his credit." Kerby Is Dcnoanccd. He paid a high tribute to Edward Finney, assistant to the secretary, and to the clerks of tho department, then, with arms uplifted, his body moving with emotion, he shouted a denunciation of Frederick SI. Kerby, the stenographer who first gave out the story of tho preparation of the 2awler memorandum. "He Is a poor, miserable, weak creature," shouted Vertrees, "flat tered by the invitation to tho Plnchot mansion under the dark, soft mantle of night, to confer with such men as this Garfield and this Brandeis."

Ho declar ed that Plnchot should be given cred it for a great deal of good, "but," he added, "he has been with loftiness of purpose, which he doesn't merit, and I will show how vicious ho Is -when ho Is onco aroused." Then Vertrees referred to tho tes timony of C. 0. Smith, who describ ed a conversation ho hnd with Pln chot. Smith hnd said that Plnchot threatened to "show him up" in tho newspapers It ho did not "como into tho fold." "How unprincipled a man this is," cried Vertrees with scorn. "Ho would resort to such trickery," ho paused and minute and then added, "a man who would this would do anything." MAY FETE BIG SUCCESS. .

It is estimated that an irrigation system as planned will place 40,000 acres under water. Two propositions have been made.

The Blakcly project appealed to many on account of being entirely a gravity system, and also because it i will reach lands at an elevation be yond the other projects. Tho pro moters propose to secure sufficient water by storage to irrigato not less than 40,000 acres and this by using only the flood waters of tho Apple gate basin, so that the established water rights of the river would not be interfered with.
