Proposal to Tap Pend d'Osellle Rlv
er North of Spokane Means
Millions to Be Expended.
OLYMPIA. Wash.. Jan. 4 (Special)
From present indications reconstruc
tion will run riot through the 1919
session of the State Legislature, which
will convene on January 13.
No definite single programme of re
constructive work has yet become
apparent, but the greatest array of
measures calling for huge expenditures
ever presented the state is lining up
support and clamoring for action. Most
of them claim the merit' of furnishing
means of employment for returned
soldiers. .
Chief among them In magnitude is
the. Columbia River basin Irrigation
project, which proposes to ap the
Pend d'Oreille River north of Spokane
in the vicinity of Newport, or else at
the lower end of Lake Pend d'Oreille In
Idaho, lead it down through Spokane
nd distribute it throughout Central
Washington largely, including the
Quincy project. There is no known
estimate on the cos:, but it is approx
imated at from $250,000,000 to $300,-000.000.
3,000,000 Acres May Be Aided;
By this project It Is calculated that
2,000,000 or more acres of land can be
put under irrigation. To start it the
Legislature probably will be asked to
appropriate $30,000 for

charge of killing O. M. Harvey, chair

HOOD RIVER BOY PROMOTED
Howard Wild In Is Made First-Class
Yeoman in Navy.
HOOD RIVER, Or.. Jan. 4 (Special.)
Mrs. W. K. Wildin. of this city, has
Just received a letter from her son,
Howard Wildin, former Hood ' River
High School student, who announces
his promotion to first-class yeoman in
the .Navy. He is stationed at San
Diego. The young man enlisted in
April, 1917. In his letter the young
man writes: .

amusement because of influenza. We

land to be improved and sold on easy
terms. The Federal Government will
be expected to furnish the rest of the
money needed. One of the interesting
features of the project is a single tun
nel 19 miles long.
There Is an international twist to the
plan, due to the fact that the Pend
d'Rreille River runs into British Colum
bia, and Idaho would have to be con'
suited if the lake Is tapped. Governor
Lister has gone on record in favor of
the project and probably will deal with
It to considerable extent In his mes
sage to the Legislature. Mayor Oli
Hanson, of Seattle, Is also strong for
It, and the Washington State Land Set
tlement Association has approved it.
Another agricultural development
plan that probably will be given con
siderable legislative attention is the
reclamation of logged-off lands in
Western Washington. N. B. Coffman
of Chehalls, president of the State Good
Roads Association, is prominent in this
enterprise.
Lane Settlement Plaa Favored.
The plans so far discussed are mod
eled after the Lane land settlement
scheme of having the stLte handle the
land and the Federal Government co
operate In improving it. Estimates of
the cost are not yet available, but the
project contemplates the clearing and
making ready for cultivation or nun
dreds of thousands of acres of land
once covered by heavy fir and cedar
forests.
Into the same hopper the Public
Service Commission is busily pouring
plan to incorporate King, .Pierce and
Snohomish counties into a single rail
road terminal district, which shall
handle the distribution of all rail traf
fic brought to Fuget Sound. This is
another matter of millions so fraany
that they haven't ' been stated, al
though elaborate plans have been pre
pared and submitted to civic bodies of
Seattle, Tacoma and Everett.
MingHng with these is what is known
as the canyon plan to capitalize tne
auto license revenue and bond it for
$30,000,000. to run 20 years, using the
proceeds to pave state highways, doing

she saw that a new allied offensive

French troops. It says, were concen

Chateau Sallns. They were supported
by 3000 guns of all calibers and had
$00 tanks available on a front of about
45 miles. Duke Albrecht. of Wurrtem

front, had available only 2a divisions of

This allied attack, thj Excelsior con

German general headquarters, realis
ing that the divisions on other sectors
were exhausted and that its forces were
demoralised and worn out. averted a
catastrophe by pleading for n armis
tice. The Excelsior conclude:
"The success of the r.ffe is.ve was
assured, but It could not have madj
victory more complete than it already
was, because Germany had accepted all
our conditions. Marshal Foch deemed
it useless to cause further shedding of
blood and consented to stop hostilities,
although Germany was Len In a des
