Congressman A. W. Lafferty has
promised to bring before Congress at
the extra' eesstvn a resolution in the In
terest of persons holding land under
the government irrigation projects, ac
cording to a letter Just received by the
Portland Commercial club from Secre
tary . (Jpthergrove of the Hermlston
Commercial club.
The resolution Is Intended to allow
settlers to take out a patent upon the
payment of a nominal fee of $1 per
acre Inatead of having them wait till
payments have been made in full for
Iho cost nf the Irrigation Droiect. There-
fby they may transfer their land sub
ject to the government lien. This would
protect the government and at the same
time remove what is said to be a very
objectionable condition, that of the gov
ernment withholding patent until the
entire cost of the project baa been wiped
out.
The Hermlston Commercial club asks
that the Portland club give the matter
Its strongest endorsement, and the mat
ter will be taken up at the meeting to
morrow of the Promotion committee.
The resolution follows:
"That, where any bona fide desert
and entry has been, or msy he embraced
within the exterior limits of any Irri
gation projects under the act entitled
'An act appropriating the receipts from
the ssle snd disposal of public Isnds In
certain states snd territories to the con
struction of Irrigation works for the
reclamation of srld lands' approved
June 17. 1002, and the desert land en
tryman or his ssslgns shsli mske proof
showing full compliance with the pro
visions of the desert land laws as to
reclamation,'1' Irrigation and fmprove
menta ot aald' entry, and shall submit
satisfactory proof that he has relln
qulahed or abandoned all of the land
embraced In said entry and has given
to the United Btatea or , to the Water
Users' association, If one has been or
a-anlzed In the irrigation project In
which the land la located, a lleti upon
the said . land embraced In said entry
and all water rights appurtenant there
to. and upon paying 11 per acre for said
land, final certificate and patent snail
Issue therefor, to the entryman or his

Heattle. Wash., Apll '7. Colonel The
odore Roosevelt left Seattle at 7:16
o'clock this morning for Spokane, where
be Is scheduled to srrlve at '35 to
night, ile will deliver as few speeches
as possible en route, the train making
only the regular stops
The only topic of vltsl Interest to
Seattlettcs Included In his addresses
here at the University of Washington
In the afternoon and Dreamland rink
last night, waa In regard to Alaakan
resources and conservation. For the
most part hla addresses followed the
general lines of those delivered In
other cities, reiterating his views on
good cltlienshlp and conservation.
Colonel Roosevelt stated that he fav
ored the establishing of the validity of
Alaskan 'coal land at the earliest possi
ble moment, ao that the and could be
thrown open to use. In reference to the
resources of Alaska he said:
"f would like to see the resources of
AlaakM thrown open to use by the peo
ple of Alsska, and not turned over to
great corporations whose members
have never seen Alaska, but sit at of
fice desks tfi New York and eastern
cities."
The colonel also stated that from his
observations and conversations with
Washington citizens, he thought woman
suffrage was Operating satisfactorily,
but he exhorted the women not to think
more of their rights than their duties,
lie also congratulated the people for
having elected a closed town admlnls
tra'ion. saying that the argument that
an open town meant prosperity was
false.
The Alaska bombshells hurled by
Roosevelt at the big public meeting are
being eagerly discussed both In progres
sive and standpat circles today. Though
Roosevelt's visit was under the aus
pices of progressive leaders, snd the
chambers of commerce, which stood by
Bulllnger through the whole Alaska
controversy, had refused to take any of
ficial part In the reception of the ex
president, many of the leading stand- I
patters greeted Roosevelt and heard his
speech.
Kx-Secretsry Ralllnger and Ex -Senator
Piles were at the dock to meet
Roosevelt and each got a alap on the
back and a "how are you?"
Colonel Roosevelt disdained the $$5
a night roysl suite at the Washington
hotel and slept In his private car, leav
ing at 7:16 In the morning for 8pokane
without arising to greet the few who
crowded about the railroad yards to get
a last look at him.
