projects ulrendy established should
not bo made to await establish
ment of a new federal reclamation

reclamation, declared hero today.
II asserted thut active state par
ticipation with the federal govern
ment in future reclamation develop
ment is almost certain to become a
permanent policy.
"Once a new reciumiition policy
becomes a law," he said, "till new '
proposed projects should bo con
sidered nnd constructed Individually
and not as a group."
Representative Smith, who came
to Spokane to confer with barkers
of ,tho Columbia basin Irrigation

ot the Columbia busin project is
only a matter ot time but said ho
was "certain thut It -will be Impos
sible to get a new project through

For exclusive franchise .............. 2
If the Strnhorn railroad has a
friend or supporter in its fight for
an exclusive franchise to cross
Sixth street, that individual has
not yet shown himself or herself
in the county-wide voting which
Tho Evening Herald is conducting.
By 3 o'clock this afternoon 69
votes had been received at The
Herald offlra and all but 2 ot them
wero against an exclusive franchise
for tho Strnhorn road.
When It decided to let tho peo
ple express their opinions through
a nowspaper ballot,' The Evening
Herald felt certain that an over
whelming vote against further con
cession to Strnhorn would 1e regis
tered, but the results ot tho first
dny's ballots are astounding.
It was thought that here and
there about the city could be
found a fw a very few who
might stand with Councilmen Rob
erts, Stnckey nnd Balsiger In their
efforts to grunt Strnhorn tin ex
clusive franchise. .,

resignation and that was all, Franey
explained that he was taking a

So close were the two highest
bond bids that the council voted to
defer final action on the matter
till a further investigation. The
two highest bidders were the First
National Bank - ot Klamath Falls
and A. D. Wietuan & Co. of Port
land. , - - - --.
Wakeman offered a premium of
05 cents per thousand and to take
the first seven vears of the total -ten

aggregate a saving of $35,000 for

councilmen. '' . ,
