Charles D. Walcott, Secretary of the Smithsonian, is glad that Theodore Roosevelt agrees that the zoologist Edmund Heller should go accompany Paul James Rainey on a trip to South Abyssinia. Senator Thomas Henry Carter, chairman of the Senate Irrigation Committee, is writing a report of the committee’s investigation into reclamation projects in the west, which Walcott believes discredits work done during Roosevelt’s administration. If this is the case, Walcott is sure that the minority report by Senator Francis G. Newlands will dispute it.
