To die Honorable Mayor,
Alliance, Nebr.
Dear Sir:-
I have the honor of enclosing
herewith, a set of Resolutions of
this Chamber, abo clippings from
the Portland Oregonian, and would
invite your kind consideration to the
following observations:
Alliance has received an appropri
ation by Congress of $75,000.00 for
the purpose of erecting a United
States Post Office and Federal Bldg.
It will be from three to five years
before plans can be prepared la the
Architect's Office at Washington un
der present conditions.
There are 734 authorised buildings
at present in the Architect's Of
fice at Washington, all subject to
this same delay.
The Architect's Office In Washing
ton at present has virtually the
same number of clerks that it bad
twenty years ago, with the same
wage rate, and no authority to in
crease either, except by Act of Con
gress. A Bill. No. 3063. which has the
support of the Architect's Office and
Treasury Department at Washing
ton, was recently introduced in the
U. S. Senate, to relieve this very
unbusinesslike situation, and author
izes the Architect's Office, with
certain limitations, to employ out
side architects, so that these build
ings may be constructed In the near
NEW PROPOSED
IRRIGATION PROJECT
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. Secretary
Lane today entered into an agree
ment with the State of Washington
under which the Interior Department
and the State each allot $10,000 to
be expended in making surveys, est!
mates, and investigations to deter
mine the feasibility and approximate
cost of storing and carrying the wat
era of Palouse River and its tribu
taries, for the Irrigation of lands In
Franklin county, Washington. The
proposed project, If undertaken, will
develop valuable water power and
this feature of the project will also
be made the subject of Investigation
and report. The agreement and
plans for investigation thereunder
are similar to those entered into be
tween the secretary and the state
of Oregon in May, 1913, and are in
line with the Secretary's policy of
cooperation with the various states
in promoting the storage, develop
ment and use of water for irrigation
and power generation.

At first thought it may appear to
some that news notes from the U. S.
Forest Service are not interesting to
readers generally of a paper whose
circulation Is principally in a prairie
country, but there are many things
pertaining to this part of the nation
al Department of Agriculture that
will Interest Herald readers. As a
matter of fact, for quite a number
of years past the Forest Service has
been giving attention to northwestern
Nebraska.
Referring to the Nebraska Nation
al Forest Reserve, reminds us of
the man of whom we heard during
the registration at Broken Bow. We
think he was from Missouri and had
to be . shown. It was said that he
had his plans made to bring a saw
mill to Hyannis in the event of
drawing a claim, supposing that the
Forest Reserve was covered witia
forests and that large quantities of
lumber might be manufactured.
Forest Notes from Washington
The following forest notes were
sent The Herald from the Forest
Service of the Department of Agri
culture at Washington:
Eastern manufacturers are lookieg
to the northwest for hardwoods tor
the manufacture of clothespins. They
particularly want birch.
The Panama canal commission has
requested the forest service to in
spect the timber bing creosoted at
Seattle and Tacoma for the commis
sion. The net receipts from the national
forests of Washington and Oregon

ed to $116,620, an increase of 17 per
cent over receipts for the same per
iod last year.
Of the two million trees to be
planted on the national forests of
Montana and northern Idaho during
the present fiscal year, one-has
have been set out this fall and the
