Irrigation bill passes senate with broad support
Western representatives hail the Newlands-Hansbrough irrigation bill after a near unanimous Senate vote. Senators Hoar Gallinger Tillman and Bacon voiced strong backing as amendments expand land withdrawal rules and require entry settlers to reclaim half their land. Newlands, optimistic in the House, predicts a solid majority and urges a quick canvass to secure passage. The bill allocates up to five percent of land sale funds for irrigation, with discretion to use the entire fund if needed, while shifting some revenues to western states. The measure aims to promote western irrigation, with education of eastern opinion noted as progressing. In Carson City, Emporium advertises blankets and apparel.
