ENGINEERS V.'ILL REPORT If Decision of Army Board Is Faror. able, Pari of $0,000,000 Fund Will Be lscd lo Complete tlie Big Government Project. ORKGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU'. Wash ington. Auf. IL SpeciaI. Wheih-r the West-.de extension of the Umatilla Ir rigation project will be built by the Gov ernment or by private enterprise Is a quti-n that will not be d"cided until after the Board of Army lOngineers. now in the West, makes lis full report to President Taft on all Government proj ects eligible to receive allotments out of the f-V.e.0u fund provided by Con gress at the last session. Reports that the Government would abandon this project In favor of lw. Andrew C. Smith, of Portland. have prored to be premature. It U true that Lr. Smith has made application for wa ter rlKhls. and has acquired maps and urveys of this project mJ by engln rs of the Vnlt.d States Reclamation Service, hut tn- Government, whii-h lis the prior water rlglit on the we-t side of ItnaDlla River. hn relinquished nothing, and as long 't holds what It las. lr. Smith cannot proceed with hl pro.-i.ci. Arni Engineer lo I.eport. It Is Ihe undcrsiandlng of official of tue Irt-rlor Department t:rat Or. Smith made hi flllnas. and acquired records from the Reclamation Service, in order mat he nilcnt have the first option on t.ie Wel-side extension In the event the piojeci Is o be abandoned by the Oov ernmerl. Should the Gove rninent d-clde to bnlM. howevr. Dr. Smiths fillips mill com- to naiiRht. for the Govern ment v. Ill ntllixe all available water in I--isliull IC the Stf.iw acres embodied In trl. contemplated project. ' I'ntil the Army Knslne-rs have Rone over tr-e West-side project, and studied l' feaslhllily and practicability, nothing w.ll be done by the Government eltucr lowarrtf Ihe adoption or abandonment of Hie work. If the report of the board is favo-able. the ehancs aie said to b Mrtmaly in favor of the construction of t ie pi.ij.--l by the G- erntrent. a part tf trie $Ji.".oirt being U5ed to defray the cost. Onl Projorl i:liille for Fund. t'arlicutarlr is this true In view of the fact that the I'mntllla extension Is the only project in Orfion eliarlble to receive any part of the IJO.OOO.OOO fund, now that the Klamath work has b-cn minimized, oreson. as Is well known. Is way behind In Its share of benefits under the reclamation act: Secretary Halltna-er has declared i: e state Is en titled to further recopnltlon: the en gineer of the Ke. lamutlon Service have reported the West-wide project at I'ma lllla as even mere promising than the lesser unit recently completed, and toe l-resldcnt Is likely lo act upon tue recommendation of Ihe Secretary. Therefore. It Is ID to 1 that a favor able report from the Army Board will result in the undertaking of the irn.n tilla extension by Ihe Reclamation Service late this season or the first of next. T'.'s project has been thoroughly studied and surveyed, and there would be no occasion for delay should the President ssy the word. Project Is Feasible. in the oilier hand. If the report of the Armv Hoard Is adverse. It la not at all llkelv that the Government will apportion any of the JSO.i'OO.UOiJ for Ihe l luatllla extension, but rather that the project will be abandoned, in which event lr. Srrlth. under the.Ullna-a he has made, and with Ihe plans and maps he has acquired, will be at liberty to proceed with his private project, along me lines laid down by the engineers of the Keelaniatlon Service. That the West-wide project Is feas ible seems to hnve been established be yond all question or doubt. The one question with which the Army Board will deal will be that of expediency: hetiier the project san be built at a cost per acre which will yteld a sure return to the Government, and the fact ttiat adjoining lands under water are now scUiiik for Jn and more per acre would seem to Indicate that similar Ian is. west of the river, can stand any bulldiiis charge likely to be assessed. It Is thoua-ht that per acre oua-ht to be the olilslde figure, though the of ficial estimates are withheld. DIRECTOR KLEIN RETURNS Ytlt to Trade -fliool Will Help Him In Portland Work. J. II.
