Way Now Clear for Passage of
Measure and for legislation to
Insure Construction,
THEOREGOVIANNEWSBUREAtf,
Washington, D. C, July 5. Secre
tary of the Interior Fall gave em
phatic and unqualified approval to
day to the bill recently introduced
by Senator Poindexter providing for
a federal investigation-of the Colum
bia basin irrigation project in east
ern Washington. The secretary's
indorsement was given in a letter
addressed to Senator McNary of
Oregon, chairman of the senate com
mittee on irrigation and reclama
tion. Mr. Fall -went further than cabi
net heads ordinarily go in passing
on a bill and said:' "I am in favor
of the enactment of the bill intp
law." It is understood that in de
claring his position on the measure
Secretary Fall had the benefit of
the advice of his assistant secre
tary, Frank M. Goodwin, formerly
of Spokane, who is familiar with
every phase of the project.
Senator McNary said today that
Mr. Fall's letter cleared the way for
the passage of the bill and that he
was. prepared to lend his best ener
gies not only to the enactment of
this measure but also, for legislation
to assure construction of the proj
ect at the very earliest day possible
following completion and approval
of engineering plans.
McNary Pledges Aid. y '
. "I cannot think of anything more
essential to the development of -the
northwest than the building of this
great project," said Senator McNary.
"The friends of this project wisely
have chosen to make their fight for
it as one great enterprise worthy to
stand on its own merits, entirely
separate from the great andompre
hensive plan carried in my general
reclamation bill. Their course, it
seems to me, .demonstrates the best
of judgment and I want them to
understand that I stand ready to
help them."
Secretary Fall said:
"Reference is made to your letter
of June 26, inclosing copy of S. B.
3745, with request for report.
"The proposed measure is entitled
'a bill for the creation of the Colum
bia basin irigation commission and
authorizing an appropriation there
for.' It would create a commission
of three, composed of an irrigation
expert, a soil expert and a trans
portation expert to examine and re
port upon what is known as the
Columbia basin irrigation project
located in the states of Montana,
Idaho and Washington
Additional Data Needed.
"As now estimated, this project
would involve an expenditure of up
wards of $300,000,000 and would
provide for the irrigation of about
1,753,000 acres .of land. Thus far
only preliminary investigations have
been made and there is need of addi
tional data on the proposed venture.
The commission suggested in S. B.
3745 would be appropriate for the
purpose of gathering such additional
data, and I am in favor of the enact
ment of the bill into law.
"I would suggest that the bill be
amended in section 1 by providing
suitable salaries for the members of
the commission.
"Also, it would appear advisable
to define better the proposed proj
ect by inserting in line 2, page 2,
after the word 'project,' the words
'located in the states of Montana,
Idaho and Washington.' "
DESGAMPS m IS LOST
PORTLAND DEPUTY SHERIFF
VAIXLY SEEKS SUSPECTS.
Escape of Reputed Murderers of
King of Local Underworld
in Canada Ends Chase.
" Hope of solving the mystery of
the disappearance and probable
murder of Ernest Descareips, three
years ago, has gone glimmering
withthe escape of Louis -Victor
Brayer and Mrs. Anais Desjardinec,
- notorious French pair, through the
fingers of Canadian authorities, re
ported H. Oljristofferson, chief crim
inal deputy in the office of Sheriff
Hurlburt, who returned yesterday
from a futile trip to Vancouver,
B. C.
The deputy was dispatched to the
northern city when word was re
ceived here that Brayer and the
woman were under arrest there. On
his arrival he found that Brayer
had been detained but half an hour
after his arrest on the recommenda
tion of a Canadian immigration of
ficer, and that - Mme. Desjardlnee
never had been arrested, but was
supposed to be in Montreal.
Brayer disappeared after leaving
his trunks at a Vancouver hotel,
with the word that he was going
fishing. Two days' search by Chrs
tofferson failed to reveal, any clew
as to Brayer's present whereabouts
and the quest was abandoned. '
The French pair are believed to
have guilty knowledge of the disap
pearance of Descamps. , Brayer and
the woman both had sworn ven
geance against the one-time king of
the Portland underworld because
Descamps had been responsible for
their deportation from this country.
The hacked body of a man, tenta
tively identified as the torso and
legs of Descamps, showed the tech
nique of a butcher, which Brayer
was by trade, say the authorities.

TRUE HAPPINESS IX PEAS
ANTRY, SAYS GANDHI.
Railways, Telegraphs, 'Hospitals,
Lawyers, Doctors' Must All
Go, It Is Declared. 1
AHMEDABAD, India,'. June ,5.
Mahatma G-andl, In prison here for
sedition, declares his loss of liberty
cannot materially affect, the prog
ress of India nationalism, and urges
ress of Indian nationalism, and
urges his friends to carry on the
work In which he had so large a
part. He has no complaint to make
regarding his treatment by prison
officials. i '. .j'
Gandhi remains loyal" to the prin
ciple of Swadeshi, which, he defines
as "that spirit in us which restricts
us to the use and service of our
immediate surroundings, to the ex
clusion of the more remote." In re
ligion he would follow only the
forms of worship used by his an
cestors; in politics, he would make
use only of indigenous Institutions;
in economic life, he would use only
things produced by his immediate
neighbors, and would., serve only
those industries ' which v are Native
to his own country. He is at en
mity with modern civilization.
Writing to a ' friend in India,
Gandhi explains bis beliefs and aims
in these words:
"There, is no , Impassable barrier
between east and west. There is
no such thing as western or Euro
pean civilization, but there is a mod
ern civilization which is purely ma
terial. The people of Europe, before
they were touched by modern civil
ization, had much in common with
the people &f the east!
"It is not the British peopte who
are ruling India, but it is modern
civilization, through Ita railways,
telegraphs, telephones, and almost
every invention which has been
claimed to be a triumph of etvlliza
tion. Bombay, Calcutta and the
other chief cities ' of India are the
real plague spots.
"India should wear no' machine
made . clothing, whether it comes
out of European mills or Indian
mills. ,
"India's salvation consists in un
learning what she has learned dur
ing the last 50 years. The railways,
telegraphs, hospitals, lawyers, doc
tors and such like have all to, go,
and the so-called upper classes have
to learn to live religiously' and de
liberately the simple peasant life,
knowing it to be a life giving true
happiness."

to the peaceful conquest of the

lften made secure the serial order

men blended determination with
genius and made the industrial be
ginning. They had little of wealth,
but they wrought wealth out of op
portunity. Only a few knew their
struggles, their sacrifices, but hon
esty, simplicity, industry, Vapactty

have been the chief essentials of
their success. These make for suo
cess anywhere, and are available
to all who aspire.

lesson of the yesterdays, and re
solve to go on, adding to the stride
In Industry and commerce, and de
termine that every enlargement In
material growth shall reflect larger
progrss in the finer attainments
which make a community worth

"The fit counterpart to the elty

happy homes, ample education, for

BRITAIN FOR CHRISTIANS
Fair Deal for All in Holy 'Land
Held Government Aim.
LONDON, Juiy 6. The foreign of
fice has published the reply of the
government to the representations
of Cardinal Gasparri, papal secre
tary of state, concerning religious
liberty under the Palestine mandate.
The reply declares that as a Chris
tian power Great Britain is . fully
alive to the necessity of insuring
to all Christian communities that
nothing will be permitted in Pales
tine which might be construed as
negligence oj indifference to Chris
tian sentiments.
In order to determine existing
rights in the holy places and reli
gious buildings or sites in Palestine,
the government proposes that a
commission of not fewer than seven
members, selected from a panel
originated by some international
procedure and subject to the ap
proval of'the council of the league
of nations, shall have charge of
these rights.

used the words. of Jesus exactly as
they appear in the Bible. The na
tivity and related scenes are pre

Jesus by John the Baptist. A new
act' incorporated in the play this

Bpeaking parts. - In order that the
costuming may be accurate as to
period and design many of the cos
