A quest ion which is now re- i
garded by some attorneys as de-j

is gambling under the code. Dog
racing is said to be all right to ]

ter of the law, and it is argued
that pea pool is in a similar posi
tion. Very few attorneys, how

MS HIGHEST
UTILIZATION
Seortetary of Interior Franklin K.
Lane States Position on Pub
lic Land Resources.
Secretary of the Interior Frank
lin K. Lane has stated lii.s posi
tion with respect to insuring the
highest utilization of public land
resources in a case of great im
portance in which much interest
is being manifested in the Pacific
Northwest. The secretary recent
ly received through Senator Poin
dexter a telegram from a state
senator stating that the legisla
ture of Washington had unani
mously passed an act reserving
all waters in the Wenatchee ba
sin, but that before the act was
signed by the governor certain
power interests had tiled on these
waters, and urging the president
and the secretary of the interior
to serve tlie best interests of the
state ol' Washington by maintain
ing intact President Taft’s ex
ecutive order withdrawing the
18,55li acre's of reservoir sites in
volved. Both this federal with
drawal and the state reservation
were made with a view to possi
ble utilization of the water for
the irrigation of 290,000 acres in
Quincy valley, on the east side of
the Columbia river, which, as
stated in the telegram to Senator
Poindexter, “means millions to
the slate of Washington and fur
ther development of Quincy val
ley.”
The Secretary's teller lo Sena
|nr Poindexter points onl ele'arly
Ilial tie has no intention of re
voking the order of withdrawal of
the public land, lie states:
“This action by I lie federal gov
ernment was initiated in response
(o the request of citizens of your
state, and in view of the recent
action of the Washington stale
legislature reserving all waters in
the Wenatchee watershed il il
lustrates the type of co-operation
iietweeii slate and nation neces
sary to promote the highest util
ization and development. You
may he assured, therefore, that
no revocation of this executive
withdrawal will be recommended
withotu first affording full oppor
tunity for the presentation of the
views of your constituents and
for I lie complete investigation of
I lie possible uses of Ibis river.’
