With all of the burdeas of war to be con sidered Congress thru its committees has not been overlooking domestic affair, as was evidenced by the news dispatches o Tuesday morning's papers, which carried the tentative budgets for the various aov- ermental departments. There was thru the absence of appropria tions for Oregon, food fdr hot for Oregon ians. While such items a-t, $435,000 for King Hill, $954,000 for Yakima, and other sums for Okanogan, Minidoka and other projects in Washington and Idaho formed the burden ofthe reclamation section, appropriations lor Oregon reclamation districts could not be discovered with the naked eye Win is this the case i Wherein has Oregon sinned against Congress that it can not get even a portion of the money that has been taken from the sale of lands of the state for the reclamation of the arid region We will leave the answer to those who are more familiar with Oregon than we are. but can not do .so without this observatien: it is time that Orcgonians awakened to the situa tioii and sent men down to Washington who Msses.s that peculiar business ahilitv com bined with personality which makes them popular with their fellow members and "gets results for their state." COLONEL WOOD'8 REPORT Ool. C. E. S. Wood in so manv words told the landowners of the Warmsie ings' District at Vale yesterdav that the commit tee which the district sent to Washington last winter, "had the money," w ;- h which to build 'he Warmsprings' reservir and dis tribution system, when by reason of the announcement of :be private sale of the bondl icreed the withdrawl of the bills. What ever doubts existed in the mind o anyone foncerning the reliability of ( oL Wisal's Ktatement was disolvt1 by the v nounexToent of that apportionment of $-l:-.", 000 given the King Hill project in Main-. ;is anui.in -ed in the Irily papers on Tuesday. The Wampringti and the King Hill were united in the bill presented to Congress lest wiutcr .md they won Id hove been considered as one mfMAur hml not the "pnvate wle," with u'i opfion clause, not been consunuited at Vide on the day that the President s eii dorsement was received for the Warni spriug's project. While this is true, now is not the time for postmortems. It is the right time to forget the past and to dig in and get that woucy from the present Congress. There exists a general and well sustained belief that the war wil! ! bl over for from two to three v ears, at least, and foot! will be even more es sential for tin success of the allied armies during each successive year than it has dur ing the past years, therefore any project which possesses possibilities of increasing the crop ana within a year will be given favorable consideration, at Washington.
