WASHINGTON CHAT [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GAZETTE] Washington, D. C., Jan. 14. When the legislative, executive and judicial bill comes up before the senate this week, the amendment to it providing for an increase in the salary of members of congress from $5000 to $7500 a year, may not meet with a kindly reception, judging from the sentiment that exists in the upper house now. There is a feeling in that body to resent the plan of putting the burden in this matter on the senate, after the house refused to assume the responsibility. As is well known, when the bill was up in the house it failed of passing because members feared that their constituents might raise the ery of "salary grab" such as took place a number of years ago when the same proposition was made to increase the pay of congressmen. It would seem, however, from the numerous letters received by different representatives and which were written by their constituency, that the people as a whole, are not averse to having the pay of congressmen increased, and this concensus of opinion may have some effect in securing the adoption of the amendment. The opinions of the public press have also been carefully sought, the majority of papers being in favor of the increase, and these also are expected to carry weight when voting time arrives in the senate. It is now safe to remark that the president in the recess officials and visitors, he is to read anywhere from thirteen dreds to a thousand letters only read them, but answer not personally, by direct several stenographers the replies to be made. Most of the letters, of course intended for the president sees and answers only a few important ones, the other signed by the secretary. Herter is answered, but in most the fewest possible numbers is used; just enough to be shown the writer that the letter received attention. Many write letters to the president secure his autograph, and pointed when the reply is sent to the secretary. There are communicable every conceivable subject. In Montana wants to sell dent a copper mine, another to give him an interest in a third wishes him to accuse of pills, while others write vice and assistance in making Thus it can be seen that of secretary to the president "cinch." President Roosevelt more considerable in the arrival White House of the medal ploma recently awarded his Norwegian parliament. The sets forth the whys and why of the award and is a beautiful piece of work done lum. The actual prize itself creased, and this concensus of opinion may have some effect in securing the adoption of the amendment. The opinions of the public press have also been carefully sought, the majority of papers being in favor of the increase, and these also are expected to carry weight when voting time arrives in the senate. It is now safe to remark that the Smoot case is to be completely side-tracked at this session of congress, and some even predict that it will never be called up at any coming session. Many senators would like to escape voting on the question, but Senator Smoot, himself, is urging that a vote be taken, and some consideration will have to be given to his request. Early in the session, when Senators DuBois and Burrows delivered themselves of fiery speeches for the unseating of the Utah senator, it looked as if the case was to be brought to a focus then, but nothing happened, nor has anything transpired since which has had any bearing on the case, either for or against. It was understood that one or two senators were in readiness with speeches to defend Smoot, but just why they remain silent is not explained by the "leaders." It is difficult to estimate the amount of money, to say nothing of the time, that has been spent on this famous case. Witnesses on both sides have been paid a considerable sum in fees and traveling expenses, and attorneys have been big gainers in a pecuniary way. Petitions against the seating of Senator Smoot continue to be received by the senate committee having the case in charge, most of them coming from women's clubs and organizations. All are carefully stored away in the room provided for that purpose. Carrie Nation, of hatchet fame, is in Washington. So far she has acted very ladylike and has confined herself considerable in the arrival White House of the medal recently awarded him Norwegian parliament. The sets forth the whys and why of the award and is a beautiful ecuted piece of work done lum. The actual prize itself will be a check for $40,000 yet been received. The prize is made of solid gold, cost about $800 worth of the metal is appropriately figured tered. On one side is a raid of Nobel, the giver of the prize on the other side is a repress of two men fighting, with an tempting to part them and peace.

Seed Distribution The agricultural department at the State University is ready annual distribution of seeds new seeds or not such as bought in seed stores. The given free, but at cost and The seeds are carefully accoupled varieties but little or not tried in California, and the project in the distribution is formentation. Last year 799 tions for seeds were received agricultural department office, and were addressed to 3 offices and sent into 52 counties the state. A pamphlet is ready for distribution, which gives all information as to kinds of seeds and it will be sent free to any who apply in writing to the "Co-Agriculture, Berkeley, Cal." Packages of seeds cost in to postage from 2 cents to Carrie Nation, of hatchet fame, is in Washington. So far she has acted very ladylike and has confined herself to speech-making, preaching particularly against the lack of attention that congress gives to ridding the historic Pennsylvania avenue from the numerous electric signs located on the tops of high business buildings and which advertise various brands of beers and whiskies. She proposes to call upon the president to send a special message to congress on the desecration of this famous thoroughfare, and then intends to see that congress acts upon the recommendations of reform to be made. Mrs. Nation is in Washington to interview Postmaster General Cortleyou, who refused to permit her publication called "The Hatchet" to pass through the mails on account of it being vulgar. So many vices of the capitol city have claimed her attention, however, that the real purpose of her visit has been overlooked. Next to President Roosevelt, who is at work every moment he is in the executive offices, the busiest man in the White House is the president's secretary, Mr. Loeb. Besides assist- President in the reception of visitors, he is required anywhere from three hunts to a thousand letters a day, not all them, but answer them, if reasonably, by directing the tenographers the nature of these to be made. Of the letters, of course, are for the president, but he answers only a few of the sent ones, the others being by the secretary. Every letter answered, but in most cases just possible number of words must enough to be polite and the writer that the letter has attention. Many people refer to the president just to his autograph, and are disap- when the reply is signed by the secretary. Are communications on receivable subject. One man wants to sell the presi- cuper mine, another desires him an interest in a patent, wishes him to accept a box while others write for ad- assistance in many ways.

Big Water Case Begun John Fletcher Moulton and Herbert Bulkley Praed, through their agent, W. E. Pedley of Riverside, have filed suit against the Riverside Water company and the Riverside Land company in the United States district court. Moulton and Praed are capitalists of London, who are large property owners in Riverside. The question at issue concerns water rights, and the action is one in equity, in which they ask that the defendant companies be enjoined from diverting subterranean waters by means of artesian wells. Among other properties the plaintiffs own the right to 150 inches of water. Part of this is furnished by two artesian wells, and another part is through a right to slightly less than half the flow of Warm Creek as diverted by the McKenzie ditch. These rights and the property of the plaintiffs lie in what is known as the San Bernardino artesian basin. In this basin the defendant companies have bored artesian wells, and are conveying the water from them to lands outside the basin, which it is the complaint they have no right to divert any of its Press.
