!the drainace of a large portion of a continent
It may be of interest that the project will in no way
interfere with the main part of the Grand . Canyon, the
portion which tourists visit. While there have been de-:
signs, and they may persist, against the Yellowstone Park
for irrigation purposes which would affect its charm, the
Grand Canyon is immune in that the'scenic part would :
not be available for the purpose, its gorge being too stu-.
pendous to be dainmed .even by the most daring engineer.
When the project is carried to fruition the "Great
American Desert" will dwindle greatly. Millions of acres I
of now waterless land will become garden spots and in ad
dition millions of horsepower of electrical energy will be;
generated where hitherto a gigantic force has run uri-j
working to the sea. With the completion of this project,
most of the possible arid area of the country will have been !
reclaimed. The bits of desert which remain will serve by j
contrast to show what water can achieve when distributed
in a scientific manner. i

out of business. It did turn it from the thriving second

knew how to present their case. Representative Mott o
Clatsop made one.'of the most impressive talks before the
ways and emans committee that we have ever heard. Mrs.
Kinney, senator from Astoria, never lost an opportunity
to plead the case of her home city.

cost of about S200.000 and this met the same fate. But As-'
toria was not through. A bill went through remitting
state taxes on the stricken city for a period of seven years.
This amounts to about $70,000 per year, so you can see
that the buys and girls irom Astoria still know the legist
lative game very well. It was the best thing to do, for now
there will be. earnest effort to rebuild the , city and the
property will come hack on the tax rolls. But the preced
ent is admittedly bad, for henceforth when any disaster
occurs, either large or small, the treatment of Astoria will
be pointed to and like treatment demanded.

i concluding this series of articles, let us give a short
itulatiimi ! ; Tlit' legislative 'session will go down in
y, no doubt, as an ordinary session. That it passed
omctitiix. law which a certain portion of the popula
iow Vseek to hamstring and make inoperative, will
causs recollection of the W session by many. That it
passed jn ''abundance of prohibitory laws makes it stand
out as a Very dry legislature and it is now receiving com
ment from all parts of the United States on that feature
That it dared to scratch the educational trust in the state
with the Eddy campaign for his measure will mark it as
;iii enemy to education in the eves of nianv.
It passed .an anti-alien law and other laws aiding and'
assisting the ex-service man. It refused to take up the re
ligious fight that existed in the state last fall.

Roads and highways legislation was very meager
this session. A cent more was added to gasoline for road
maintenance. This will lie the last, for gasoline can carry
no bigger load than this. The license on machines was
not molested to any extent, and aside from a few minor
laws road legislation remains the same. f
