Washington Letter with Irrigation Bill and Ranch Tale
President Roosevelt defuses irrigation bill disputes after a White House talk with Mondell and others, aiming for a carefully worded act. The column rebuts a bribery charge over the Danish West Indies, notes Hanna’s loyalty to Maj. Rathbone, and previews routes for the Isthmian canal. It then shifts to Jose del Casa’s hacienda near Monterey and a vivid, danger-filled escape on a streetcar with Patricia, Anselma, and the outlaw raid.
