"The scope of this subject in many directions, its urgency In some, and Its opportunities for developments, together demand the determination of a definite government policy," the secretary said. Accompanying the report wns one compiled by the special committee of engineers appointed by Doctor Work to collect data on the subject prepared by the bureau of recla'matlon, geological survey and federal power commission. It contained no definite recommendations. The proposed Boulder dam, the most Important of all plans for utilizing the wasted energy of the river, with power plants and transmission lines, and the canal which would supply water to thousands of farmers in the Imperlnl and valleys In California, offer problems, the secretary said, "not to be passed upon by one man alone." On the contrary, he added, they should challenge the judgment of the country's ablest engineers and be subject to deliberate review by the conCoa-ehel- gress. To Probe CONGRESS 1'a-clf- ic sional grant of 18C4 to 3,000,000 acres of land in the national forests. The lands Involved cover an area s as large as Masnearly sachusetts, and are situated In Washington, Idaho and Montana. The forest service maintains that the Northern Pacific s have been fully satisfied, and that Inasmuch as the railroad has received from the sale of lands, granted to assure Its construction, nearly twice the cost of the railroad, congress should now deny the corporation the right to take over the g.000,000 acres which It claims under the original grant. Said Mr. Wallace in his letter to the President : "I believe an Investigation by congress would show: That the total gross receipts of the Northern Pacific to June 30, 1917, from the sale of the hinds from Its grant amounted to $130,118,533.14; the cost of constructing the road did not exceed $70,000,-MO- ; that the Northern Pacific failed to construct 1,507.21 miles of Its railroad within the time required by law, thereby rendering tSe granted lands subject to forfeiture; that the Northern Pacific failed to dispose of certain of its lands to settlers at not to weed $2.5o per acre, as required by that the Northern Pacific failed three-fourth- iand-grant- MRS. i ft ' l m I ar iillil' VI Flood control, considered for that purpose alone, the secretary said, "appears to be practicable" and would "invite the minimum expenditures to $L'H,XK 1,000." effect, of approximately A control project, as an Individual proposition, he said, "promises no direct return of expenditure to the government." Irrigation of farm lands, he added, has been a recognized practice for more than twenty years, "but reclamation has not made adequate, direct returns to the government In dollars, although It has Invited agricultural development not otherwise possible, and Is a policy that should be fostered." canal, Regarding the the secretary said that water now was carried to the Imperial valley through a cut in Mexico, and for obvious reasons "tills Is open to many He estimatsubstantial objections." ed the cost of the canal, capable of Irrigating 800,000 acres, at 531,000,000. to dispose of hundreds of thousands of acres of Its lands at public sale, as required by law ; that hundreds of thousands of acres of poor land In the Northern Pacific grant were erroneously classified; that under a rule of law laid down by the Supreme court, the Northern Pacific has been erroneacres too 1,500,000 ously allowed much land In the state of Washington; that over 500,000 acres of land credited to the Northern Pacific should be deducted because of erroneous fixation of the limit lines." In his letter to Senator Lenroot, chairman of public lands committee, President Coolldge said in part: "For the reason set forth Dy the secretary of agriculture, I heartily concur In his recommendation that the entire matter should receive the attention of congress. I therefore urge upon your committee the Importance of action as early as possible, which shall look to the fullest protection of the public interests herewith concerned; that the legal and equitable claims of the grantees should be fully weighed and safeguarded goes without saying, but It is still more Imperative that the interests of Uie public, both In the possession and conservation of valuable natural resources and in the accomplishment of the purposes for which the grant was made, be adequately protected In an equitable settlement of this question." fr rl home-makin- interior walls tinted squeal," said little Black have a namesake."
