The three members who fought against the bill were Tongue of Oregon, Barham of Callfornia and Ray of New York. The attitude of the latter is explained by the opposition of farmers of New York to any more free homesteads, but the oppoeition of Messrs. Barham and Tongue is not accounted for. They have ays been regarded as warm friends of the irrigation project, and as the Newlands bill meets the approval of all representa tives and senators from the regions affected, well as all government cff clals who have given any study to the sul ject, opposition from the coast was not be expected.
