Tuesday, January 20.
Washington, Jan. 26. "Under the
control of the speaker of tho house and
tho enormous power with which ho ia
armed, can the individual member
properly discharge his duties to the
nation?" This query was propounded
today by Murdock of Jtansas in a
speech in the house,
Murdock mado four concrete proposi
tions. In one ho cited a case in which,
he said, a secret service agent under a
congressional commission had been
paid over $28 a day, which was an out
rageous Bum, and the second, in which
for 23 years tho president of tho Mich
igan Central railroad had been paid
$1000 a year as a mail messenger to
make up pay for transportation of
mails on railroads, which Murdock said
could not bo done under the lawB.
As a third instance he charged that
an excess of payment of 335,000 a year
had been made to the Eads bridge at
bt. Louis for mail charges. The fourth
was the payment by the house of rep
resentatives itself of $500 a year for a
trivial clerical duty.
"And now," he said, "I challenge
any member of this body who ib not a
chairman of an appropriation commit
tee ta a correction through congres
sional action in these four ltemn I havo
cited, over the opposition of the speak
er or without his consent or that of
any of the chairmen.
A bitter attack on William Nelson
Cromwell, President Obaldia, of Pana
ma, and others, by Rainey of Illinois,
was made in the . house today. The
postoffice appropriation bill was under
consideration, but Rainey spoke under
license of general debate and was un
sparing in his charges of corruption
agamBt the persons named. Stevens,
of Minnesota, and Kusterman. of Wis
consin, expressed their disapproval of
his remarks and entered a defense of
the accused.

San Francisco, Jan. 25. Governor-
elect Cosgrove is not so soon to leave
California for the north. He was due
to leave this afternoon at 2 o'clock,
but word came that the Southern Paci
fic lines were blocked and he will re
main in his private car indefinitely un
til he can go through without delay.
It will probably be several days before
his car moves.
In the meantime he is located at'the
Oakland mole, as his physicians believe
it would be unwise for him to go to a
hotel. Tho place is not adapted to
quiet, as trains are moving at all hours
of the night, but the governor is deter
mined to make the best of a bad situa
tion. The car is so equipped that all
meals can be Berved without his mov
ing from the train.
It is said by those close to the gover
nor that ho obstinately refuses to dis
cuss tho political situation, but that he
is anxious to return to Olympia to set
tle the tangle as to who is governor of
the state of Washington.

Irrlgation Congress Forms Big Pro
ject for Sandridge Country.
La Grande Preliminary steps in
the formation of an incorporation capi
talized at S600.000 have been taken at
the Irrigation Congress, held here and
attended by qver 400 farmers. The di
rect result of the meeting was the
adoption of a report which provides for
incorporation and the closing of tno
subscription books on April 1, when
the construction of the gigantic project
will begin on one of two plans, name-'
ly, the irrigation of 20,000 acres by
building a long canal to the Sandridge'
country, or by irrigation 15,000 acres
south and east of La Grande by build
ing a less expensive canal in an
other direction. The cost price for the
water under either project will be $20
an acre.
The detailed plans for the project
were prepared by Engineer Young,
whose report points out how the Mead
ow Brook canyon, 18 miles up the
Grande Ronde river from La Grande,
is the outlet for an abundance of water.
Where the canyon widens into, the riv
er, nature has provided stone walls a
distance of -about 100 feet apart. Here
it is that a huge cement dam is to be
built Theend3 are to be imbedded
into the solid rock on either side, pre
venting possibility of washouts or
leaks. Thus harnessed, the canyon
will in the spring store enough water
in a natural rock basin behind it to
cover 20,000 acres of land with one
foot of water.
