RELIEF FOR FEDERAL PROJECT SETTLERS IN STATE INCLUDED IN REPORT BY INVESTIGATORS Rellef for Wyoming settlers living on government reclamation pro- Jects is seen In the report submitted Several days ago by the special ad- visory committee on reclamation to Hubert Work, secretary of the in- terlor. Recommendations set forth that bear directly on projects in this state are given as follows: The Riverton project was autho- rized in 1917 with an estimated cost of $8,000,000 of which about $1,- 000,000 has been expended. In the future detelopment of the project the reclamation bureau should ap- ply the principles set out "in the re- port covering the constriction of new projetes. The Frannie division of the Sho- shone project should be abandoned in whole or in part under such: con- ditions as will be just to the settler The reclamation bureau’ should fm- mediately make a survey of the Frannie tailed recommendations providing for such whole or partial abandon ment. Pending the putting into ef fect of this recommendation, the con- struction costs should be allocated to the division and all charges for construction, operation and main- tenance against the settlers be held in suspense, without Interest or pen- alty, and water should be supplied settlers now actually irrigating their lands at a rental to be agreed upon and no additional lands should be frrigated, The control and management of the Garland division should be taken over by the water u with re- classification of lands and repay- ment of construction costs charged in accordance with their productiv- ity. The operation and mainten- ance charges of this division should be segregated in such a manner that this division shall be lable only for ist own operation and rezintenance costs, Power reports should be cred- ited to the power construction ac- count until the final adjustment of costs is made upon the several di- vision with the incame from graz- ing lands and townsites credited to the Shoshone -project. The Guern reservoir of the North Platte project should be con- structed and operated. ‘The project Itself should be immediately turned over to the water users’ associa- tion under the general recommenda- tions outlined by the committee and that tentative ‘pending contract should be made the basis of such transfer. Actual and probable reductions affecting these Wyoming projects as recommended by the advisory com- mittee, the definite losses to result in actual depletion of the reclama- tion fund while the probable losses are estimated amounts defending upon the acreage not now capable of profitable cultivation, are shown as follows: Probable loss on the North Platte project {8 $600,000, with no definite lo For the Shoshone Frannie division of the project the probable loss amounts to $750,000, the definite loss being $2,325,000 ince the ¥ orton project ts still under construction it can carry netther probable nor. definite’ loss Ugures, In @ summary of losses, the com- mitteo finds that {t is “not just to require, and in some instances not posaible to obtain, the total repay- ment of coats of investigation, con- struction, operation and maintenance charges ogainst the projects."

By FORREST WHITE. LOS ANGELES, Cal, April 16.— There are approximately 1,000,000 drug addicts in the United States. That is practically one per.cent of the entire population or 2% per cent of the adult population, But despite this fact, the drug evil is not showing unusual growth. These are high spots of the report just completed Kirby, director of the bureau of drug addiction sponsored by the University of Southern Call- fornia, While showing this high percentage of “dope fiends,” the re- port knocks into a cocked hat most of the extravagant theories and claims regarding the use of drugs in the United States. It asserts for instance: That there is no causative rela- tionship between prohibition of ulcoholic stimulants and the in crease of drugs. That while there has been a steady increase in the use of 4 in the past few years not been preeipitious or unusual, That between criminality and drug addiction there is only an in- cidental—not a causative—relation- ship. That there ts no such thing as a close knit, centrally financed “inter that rise has national rug ring.” Personalities, channels of distribution, etc., are constantly changing. That drug poddiers—do not, as has been alleged, stand on street, corners of American cities solicit ing business from school children Tho percentage of school child After t ¢ good rt of t hyst t rked , 1 Director Ki. points out that’s damage ha 1 dono by the ment of undigested laws on drug addiction and failure to deal with the problem on a d edu cational prevent Some of his findings will be u sehool to the Business men who attend the forthcoming annual meeting “of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States at Cleveland, May G to 8, will have an opportunity to hear a dls- tinguished company of speakers dis- cuss outstanding national and in- ternational economic problems. Ac- cording to word received here today, the list of speakers for the conyen- tion includes such names as; Sir Esme Howard, ‘British Ambassador; Secretary of Commerce Hoover; Sec- retary of the Navy Wilbur; Newton D. Baker, former secretary of war; Frank O. Lowden, former governor of Illinois; Julius H. Barnes, presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States; General Herbert M.

Bill Quest tried it., When the frying med up like a voleano he scooped it up on a shovel and start- ed out the door, The wind met him more than half way, throwing the fire against him. He was severely burned, Million Drug Addicts in United States; Unusual Growth of Evil Denied reformers and legislators who have had a hand in attempting to solve the problem. The report states that under the rules and regulations of the federal governments and the states at pres- ent, it is impossible for physicians to treat successfully opiate: addicts, except in a few comparatively nor. mal cases, The majority of physicians, says the report, are afraid of the law in drug addiction cases, and in self protection, decline to treat them. This condition is forcing many ad- dicts to whatever treatment they may get at the hands of the peddler and the smuggler. There is a vast difference, the report says between the addicts to opium, its salts and derivatives, and cocaine, which, while a habit form- ing drug, is an indulgence and not a disease. Cocaine is responsible for the majority insane actions and unlawful acts of “dope fiends.’ raine it js stated, is a police problem with permanent guardian- ship probably the solution for thom unable to break off from use of the arug. Of that other element, also psychopathic inferiors who are © ad- dicted to morphine or other salts or derivatives of opium, the solution suggested by Mr. Kirby is far from the generally accepted ones. He Permanent guardianship together with opportunity unrestrained of the drug needed may be the y solution. But no one is in a ition to recommend it yet.’ MAIL ROBBERS PLEAD GUILTY MISSOULA, Mont., April 16.— Bernard Quesnel, aged 21, of Kalls- pell, Montana; Robert Ackler, 19, of Butte, and Robert Heller, 20, of Boston, Mass., entered pleas of gullty in U. 8. district court here today to a charge of robbing the Missoula postoffice and an assault on a mail clerk.
