(Special Correspondence ) Congressman Addison T. Smith of Idaho has reported a measure to the House that will prove of much interest to Pe0P,e who ,ive in the ifriat ed sections of the West. It ap pears that where canals and lat erals run through public land the right of way granted by the gov- ernment is not wide enough to permit of the erection of build ings on it for the accommodation of the ditch riders, with their families, who guard the irriga tion system from washout? and other disasters. Under the mea- sure that the Putlic Lands corn- mittee endorses the Secretary of the Interior may grant tracts of land, not exceeding five acres in area adjacent to the right of way I of canal, upon which houses may b erected for the conveni ence of those engaged in the care and management of the works. Mr, Smith has clearly set forth the purposes of the legislation in hi3 report, and little opposition to the bill is anticipated. x x The manv friends f v w - MU V Guard and Life Saving Service win oe glad to know that there is a prospect of the members of that branch of the government orffanization bein panted thirty days' leave each year.

The Congressman" calls particular attention to the appro priation of $20,000,000 for a gov ernment nitrate plant There was, much criticism of spending such a huge amount for that pur pose when the appropriation was made, but it now develops that instead of one such plant the government is planning to con- struct three, at a total cost of approximately $125,000,000. Those funds are. to be, diverted from an appropriation for. the ordnance department, although when Congress passed the defici- 1 ency dui, giving the money to tha' bureau, no., mention was made o nitrate.
