Huff has taken on a husky oppon

has several pounds advantage in

Western States Reclamation assoela-
tlon in Washington, VD. C.
About thirty-five executive com
mitteemen, governors, and lieutenant
governors and others, attended this
meeting. Thero wero In fact six
governors and two lieutenant gov
ernors in tho party. A special car
carried the party from Denver to
Washington, arriving" there January
13. Tho members of tho party im
mediately got Into action and num
erous hearings wera held befora tho
Irrigation committees of tho Houso
and Senate, public land committees,
and tho steering committees cf tho
Houso and Senate
After discussing tho matter with
Secretary Lane, Director Davis, and
others well interned on theso mat
tors, it was determined to follow tho
plan outlined by the Salt Lake City
'conference, exceptfng in regard 'to
the manner ot providing
the neces
sary funds. It seamed Imprastlcablo
to attompt to secure a arrest appro
priation and a bill was accordingly
drafted providing for the Issuance of
federal bond3, tho proceeds of which
woro to L-e paid in to tho U. S. re
clamation fund. Tho interest on the
federal bonds is to bo paid, in so far
as possible, froin any funds a3 may
bo available In tho reclamation fund.
Tho bill was so drawn as to eliminate
tho necessity of tho federal govern
ment providing any actual cash at
this time for tho reason that tho
nation appears now to bo facing a
substantial deficit.
Tho entire, party romalned in
Washington for six days, and a con
siderable number remained longer.
It Is said to bo tho first time that six
govornors have gathered In Wash-'
ington in support of ono measure. It
is not too much to say that Congress
was considerably impressed with tho
need of legislation along'this line by
tho showing."that was. made. Whila
it may ro!ju(ro s:mo ' co-ordination
and co-oporntton between some of
tho elements requiring legislation in
Washington, particularly tho Ameri
can Legion, undoubtedly Congress
will males a substantial appropria
tion for carrying on thl3 work.
It may bo n llttlo too much toex
poct that $230,000,000 will bo
authorized, this session cf Congres3
