This attention from the new Secre tary of the Interior, so early in his ad ministration. Is taken by the local offi cials to indicate that he intends to give this important subject immediate con sideration with the probable end that actual work will be started within a few weeks. " Instead of having the consent of the required 95 per cent of the private landowners under the proposed work, the reclamation officials have secured contracts with more than 96 per cent of them. Mr. Hopson declares that the contracts all are legally drawn and that the terms proposed generally are satisfactory to the Government, but that some technical details yet need revision. It is for the purpose ef making this revision that he is eolng to Washington. Savlngr of Time Predicted. By conferring with the Government officials personally It is hoped to save much time that otherwise might be consumed in a lengthy correspondence. There are a few minor details on which a complete understanding was not reached, but the most important points have been agreed upon. Mr. Bristol's presence in Washington will afford op portunity for immediate adjustment of the points at variance. It is expected that when Mr. Hopson returns he will have full authority to proceed with the work. The entire project will cost approxi mately $3, 000.000 and it Is believed that (500,000 will be made available for use this year. If will take several years to complete it.
