Mr. Mondell expresses his pleasure at ea Secretary Payne's interest in Wester irrigation projects, and promises him the full co-operation on the part of congress if the interior department will Ke preparations for the speedy completion of the Shoshone (Powell), North Platte, and Riverton projects. his attention to the fact re considerable funds arising of oil leases that ought now to . available for this work. When asked for a statement, he said: “I am very glad indeed that Secre- tary Payne had an opportunity to visit some of the Western reclamation pro: out be jects and I am not surprised at the interest he has expressed in the de- velopment. of thése projects, for the eretary is a sensible and capable ma: he knows a good thing when he sees it.” “The secretary referred to congres- sional action, I am sure that congress will be glad to co-operate along any proper lines which the secretary may suggest, but it must be borne in mind that, in the first instance, the interior department, of which Mr. Payne is the head, is responsibie for the action to he taken, = “Cong has already made avail- able for reclamation purposes 20. per cent of the proceeds of public land ofl Teases impounded before the of the oil leasing law, and 521-2 per cent of the proceeds from oil and coal arising after the passage of the At the time the bill became a last March it was estimated that there were $5,000,000 of impounded 're- ceipt able for reclamation pur- noses, but for some reason the treasury department has not seen fit to make thes se sums available. together with rents ana ties arising after the passage of the act, should in all, constitute an nmddition to the reclamation fund of at le $10,000,000 by the beginning of the next year, and with fthe other income to the reclamation fund ought to give us a fund of at least $15,- 000,000. If, when the secretary of the _fgferior makes his estimates to con- ares in October, he will estimate & ljberal proportion of these funds for ‘these very worthy projects to which he has referred, the congress will, I am sure, follow his recommendations. law “The Wyoming projects have very special appeals on the reclamation fund. First, because they are first-class projects with plenty of water and good land; second, because the Shoshone && wholly, and the Riverton and North Platte are largely, projects in which all of the lands to be reclaimed are public lands which will afford new homes; and, third, because these pub- lie lands ‘under’ the present laws, will all be taken by ex-service men, and, therefore, these projects afford splen- did opportunities for the returned sol- diers. I am very hopeful the interior department will estimate liberally for our three projects. In addition to their frent cilnims to which IT have referred for preferred treatment, the fact should not be lost sight of that the settlers on Wyoming projects have in- y met their and generously obligations prompt- Albanians Want American Olives TIRANA, Albania.—(By bania, where every hillside Mail)— Al- is thick with olives, wants to import its olive® from America.- The demand for the Américan product has grown up since the Americans reached the country and introduced, for the first time, the bot- tled green olive as a table delicacy. The Albanian never dreamed of pre- serving and eating green olives until the Red Cross workers imported a few cases of the fruit, as prepared in America, for their personal consump: tion and invited their native friends to taste the unfamiliar dainties. Up to that time the people of the country pickled their olives only when they were ripe and black and preserved them in strong brine, which robbed them of all their piquant flavor. The fruit was sold by weight from open vats, which stand beside the doorways of the small shopkeepers, collecting all the dust raised by the passing traffic in the grimy streets. Those Albanians who have been fa- yored with’ a taste of the plump green lives imported from the United States have unanimousiy declared that the Dbrine-soaked product of their own country cannot compare with the American fruit and that the Albanian market is wide open for green olives preserved by modern methods.

Scott Leavitt, secretary of the Great Falls, Mont., Chamber of Commerce, and promoter of the Yellowstone- Glacier Park Beeline highway, .was the principal speaker for the visttors.. The great improvemént in. Wyoming roads this year as compared with a year ago was mentioned by Mr. Leaw itt in beginning his talk and he com plimented Wyoming upon the way in which its roads are maintained. “You are making the best of the roads which you have, and you may be sure that the. tourists give you credit for what you are trying to do/* he said. Mr. Leavitt then spoke in tribute to Mr. Holm’s, the man whose vision, con- ceived the idea of linking the national parks together, and whose energy and persistence has enlisted the co-opern- tion of the good roads associations of the country and the interest of the na- tional government in the project. “The idea is not merely to connect the national parks with a road 5,90 miles in length, but to connect as well the cities of the west with a hard sur- faced road. The carrying through of the proposition will mean more to the western states than anything else which could be done. It will mean the breaking down of sectional lines, the bringing of people from one part of the country into touch with those of an- other, It will mean understanding ahd acquaintanceship,” he said, “The national parks are the jet all gec- tions to us, “We. need~ populatitn in this west- ern country. We could support many times the population which we have and produce thousands of times as much food as we do upon our lands now lying idle. Many of the tourists who have come into the west this year have sold their outfits and remained. More will do it each year, “Our pathfinding trip for this tour showed that 800 miles of the road in California is already hard surfaced, It showed that in some places the road remains to be built. Your part is ze see that the road in your state and county is made as good as possible su that travel will coine this xray, creating a demand for a better road which in the end the national government wilt be unable to ignore.” Mrs. Stella M, Leviston, who with her son, D.
