Will Water Vast Territory of Utah Lands \\'ashington.-An agreement funding the $2,139,000,000 Italian debt will be ready for submission when con· gress meets, according to the plans of both the American and Italian ne· gotiators. Upon the eve of the opening of formal negotiations. representatives of both governments are opLimistic of arriving at a mutually satisfactory understanding. Giocomo De Martino, Italian ambassador, and Mario Alberti, general manager of the creditor Italiano, will meet with Secretary of the Treasurer Mellon, chairman of the American debt commission and Secretary of State Kellogg and Senator Smoot of Utah, members. The substance of the Italian view, it was learned authoritatively will be as follows: First, Italy recognizes the debt amounting to $1,648,000,000 in principal and $491,000,000 in accrued and unpaid interest. Second, Italy declares her readiness to settle this debt in accordance with her capac:ty to pay. The American representatives will seek a settlement conforming in , principle to the agreement covering the British debt of $4,600,000,000. The Italians. it is expected, will recognize the principle of the British a~reement as acceptable. but will ask certain deferment of payments conforming with their national necessities at home, The preparation of an official schedule of payments thus will become the crux of ' the negotiations. Preliminary phases of the negotiations were discussed between Secretary Mellon, Secretary Kellogg and Senator Smoot. Denver, Colo.-lt all necessary preliminaries are worked out in Utah between now and July 15. Secretary Work and Reclamation Commissioner Mead may be able when they conclude their trip through the northwest, to close a contract with the water users, or their association, un· der which the government will pro· ceed at once with the building of the Echo reservoir and crosscut ·canal which are to form the first unit of the Salt Lake Basin Irrigation project. They will not be able this season to authorize construction on the Provo Bay unit, as they interpret the law as permitting them at this time merely to conclude investigation of this unit, with a view to having its con· struction specifically authorized by congress next session, if found entire· ly feasible. • This information was given to En· gi_neer W. R. Green and Dr. John T, 'Widtsoe by commissioner Mead befor they left Denver for Salt Lake City. Commissioner Mead anticipates no serious trouble in working out the preliminaries so far as the Echo unit is concerned, hut surprised Dr. Widtsoe when he told him the Provo Bay unit will cost $200 an acre, based on the latest available estimates, which is more than the cost of any project yet undertaken, and a figure which compels most c-areful study of that work before it can even be recommended to congress. Mr. Green brought with him to Denver estimates on the Echo unit and it was disclosed that there is a material diversity of opinion as to the per acre cost of this part of the pro· jeet. According to Mr. Green's figures, the cost of supplemental water to the farmers under Echo reservoir would be $40 an acre. Commissioner Mead called attention to the fact that the Echo reservoir and the crosscut canal will cost three ·million dollars, and it is certain that water can be contracted for only sixty th~usand acres, which would bring the cost up to $50 an acre. Mr. Green thO\ ght the crosscut canal could be paid for separately, and he therefore figured $45 as the outside cost to those not taking water from this canal. At the con elusion of their consideration of this matter, Commissioner Mead said he and the government is not concerned >With the actual cost per acre or how the cost of the crosscut canal is assessed. But when the association or corporation representing all the water users of this unit has been formed, he will want a contract with them under which they will agree to repay the government .the three million dollars which it is to be called upon to spend and the association can opportion the costs among land owners as it sees fit and can determine whether a· common price shall govern all the lands or whether those served from the crosscut canal shall pay 40ore than those getting water from the Echo rese~ voir. The reservoir in contemplation will hold more water than will be required by the sixty thousand acres to be represented In the association, but once the association is obligated to pay the cost of the reservoir and it can , use its own discretion as about selling •plus water. The government, the commissioner made plain, is concerned solely with gettlng a contract under which it will be fully reimbursed for its Investment; it wants to deal only with the association or corporation, or whatever body 1 is formed, and that body in turn will deal with the individuals. Dirigible Off For North Pole Liverpool, England.-Grettir Algar· sson of Victoria, B. C.. explorer who has been planning an effort to reach the north pole in a small dirigible, sailed from Mersey in what he said was an attempt to reach the "farthest north." Algarsson was accompanied by Commander v.rorsley and several others. Algarsson's original plans were to go north by boat and then fly to the north pole in a semirigid airplane. Recent reports have left some uncertainty regarding his exact intentions. At one time it was reported that delays in the ronstruction of the dirigible had caused him to abandon the project. Algarsson said he would not attempt to fly to the north pole, but would attempt the most northern point of any Arctic ex· pedition this year. Scout Founder Celebrates New York.-Daniel Carter Beard, founder of the Boy Scouts of America and national scout commissioner last Sunday celebrated his seventy-fifth birthday anniversary. Five hundred thousand boy scouts throughout the country held ceremonies in observance of the day.

Business College SINClAIR ~VINS TEAPOT DECISION U.S. GOVERNMENT WfLL APPEAL PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE FOR DECISION HANDED DOWN IN PRESIDENT LOSES VALIANT CHEYENNE FIGHT FOR LIFE Allegqtion of Fraud Not Sustained; Court Ruling Causes Stock Market To Jump And Orders Are Pouring In Political Chief of Wisconsin Suffers First Breakdown in Health on European Tour, Lung and Throat Trouble Follow Cheyenne, Wyo.-The leasing of Teapot Dome to Harry F. Sinclair's Mammoth Oil company was upheld by Federal Judge T. Blake Kennedy, who rendered his decision in the annulment suit brought by the government. "The allegations of fraud in the bill have not been sustained," Judge Kennedy ruled. Washington.- Senator Robert M. La Follette, for many years a stormy pe· trel of American politics died here June 18th. ' Death resulted at 11· 21 a. m. from heart failure induced by a general breakdown and an attack of bronchial asthma . During the morning Senator La Follette remained conscious, but he had great difficulty in speaking. All the members of his immedate family were at his bedside. His ,Physicians had not abandoned hopes of a rally, although they manifestly were convinced that death was a momentary possibility. There were indications, however, that the patient was showing in· creasing effects of his long fight against the throat and lung attack, which, in fact, dates back to 1923. In that year he contracted a cold while touring in Europe, and upon his return to this country was confined to bed for a long period wi{h a touch of influenza. During most of the ensuing winter he remained away from the senate, and by the time he entered the threecornered presidential campaign of 1924, appnrently had regained much of the physical vigor of his younger days. He plunged into the campaign without stint, making a wide sweep around the circle and occupying himself for long hours daily in organization work among his supporters. After the election in which he saw only his home state rally to his ban· ner, he again went into semi-retirement. Most of last winter he spent in Ji'loricia resting. He returned to Washington, however. during the special session of the senate in March to cast a vote against the confirmation of Charles B. Warren to be attorney general, and his health seemed fairly good. The recrudPsecnce of his old illness came upon him several weeks ago and since then he has been confined to his home. The efforts or his physicians to keep him In bed were for a time unavailing, but several days ago he consented to remain as quiet as :possible In a determined effort to throw oft s affliction. A touch of asthma increased the difficulty of his l.Jreatblng and interrupted his sleep to such an extent that the attack of heart trouble found him in a generally weakened condition. The Wisconsin Senator and later independent presidential candidate began failing in health even before the 1924 campaign. Severa.! weeks ago he contracted a severe cold, which developed into asthma. Green's August Flower I "The defendant Mammoth Oil company was the creature of Sinclair and should be held responsible for all his acts," t:he decision said. The executive order of President Harding transferring jurisdiction of the reserve was held to be legal. • The government's contention that Sinclair was guilty of fraud because the bonds of the Continental Trading company were found in the possession of a relative of Fall's can not be upheld from the evidence offered, the decision asserted. The decision assumed that the oil transactions involving the trading company, A. E. Humphries, Texas oil operator; the Sinclair interests and the Midwest Oil company have been bonafide. The secretary of the navy was fully within his rights in acting as he did , having been authorized by the act of June 4, 1920 to "develop, conserve, use and operate" the naval oil re· serves, Judge Kennedy said. He ruled that the phrase "In his discretion" embodied in the law no restriction on the manner In which the reserves were to be handled. He further had "full authority to use. store, exchange and sell" the crude oil royalties, Judge Kennedy held, denying the government's contention that the secretary's action in dealing in commodities for the government was a usurpation of congressional authority for appropriating money for such dealings. The act of June 4, 1920, was a special act and authorized the buildIng of storage tanks at Pearl Harbor, Portsmouth and other places designated under supplemental contracts between the government and Sinclair and Doheny, the ruling said. "We have no quarrel with the theory that the congress should have and has the constitutional power to regulate the manner in which the property of the United States shall be handled by the executive branch," said the conclusion of the decision, "but we do maintain that in the exercise o fthat power it may by appropriate legislative author'ity delegate officers of that department to handle government property in an unrestricted way and in accordance with a vested discretion."
