RE RSU I J PBIJECTS MONTANA d +EATION WILL BE CONSULTED- ON ACTION SAVAGE TO GO Wleshirngton, Dec. 8.--(Secial.)- Se~ietitfh Lane, today subi.itted to congres~h a report 'made by' the com mission .charged with rdetigation of i'rigatlon projects on Indian landis in Montana. The commission consists of the Suierintendents of the Blackfeet, Flathead anrid For Peek agehcies and the superintendents of irrigation for three northern irrigation districts in Montana. In a synopsis of the report Secretary Lane says the conclusions of the conm mission show that Indian reclamationt projects not only irrigate indian lands, but extensive acreages used by whites. Financial arrangements contemS, plate that after construction and trt bal funds are used to repay congres soiinal appropriations, whites may pay in 15 annual iristiallments their pro portionate share for irrigation. Tl4is the secretary contends is unfair and retards the Iridians. Ife suggests that the only proper why would be to re lease tribal funds tfim obligation of rei'nbureement and r'ec.ire the cost of the .work bsessedi agaratst.all land benefited and have it reiald by land owners, sinilar to p'-ocedure under the national reclamatio·:...~ct The re port recommends annual appropria tions for the Fort Peck and Blackfeet and Flatheads projects, large enough to insure early completion.

C.-Hearing will begin tomorrow before the senate pub lic lands committee on the first of the two administration conservation hills i already passed by the house. The measure would provide "for the develi opment of wa.er -power and the .use, of publle lands in relation. thereto," under a leasing system.

The water power bill provides for leases of all' reserved or utireservdl lands valuable for power development purposes for a period not to exceed 50 years, and forbids power companies to supply any. one consumer with more than 50 per cent of their output, as a safeguard against monopoly. The right of the government to take over any project developed under a lease under notice given .within three years of expiration of the lease is reserved. ollIIPISAtN BY FIRE, MANY DIE Barrow, Eng., Dec. 8.-Wrapped in flames and with the sa about her ablaze from. the cargo ,of gasoline she was carrying only two men of her crew of 36 escaped death today when the Brit ish steamer Vedra..plued on the shore near Barrow in a. heavy gale, broke up and was consumed.
