SINNOTT OUTLINES CAS Representative Pleads for Greater Apportionment and Shows DIs crimination in Favor of Nevada and Arizona. OREGO?UAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash Ington, May 16. "Oregon has not been fairly treated In the distribution of money from the reclamation fund," de dared Secretary Lane tonight, by way of answer to Representative Sinnott showing of discrimination against Ore gon and In favor of states like Kovaoa, Arizona and others, which have con tributed but little to the fund but have received excessive benefits. What be intends to do by way of pro tecting Oregon's equities Secretary Lane did not say, but he did say that the West Umatilla project is recelvin bis consideration, as well as a co-oper atlve plan of building the Deschutes project with funds contributed Jointly by the state and the Government. Sinnott Outlines Project. Late tonight Oregon was reached In the hearing before1 the Secretary of the Interior. Kepresentatlre Sinnott pre sehted a statement on behalf of the settlers on the Umatilla project. He said briefly that they are generally sat Isned; that their project is prospering, and their only request is for an exten sion of time In which to make pay' ments.' This is in accordance with general appeal, and Senator Lane, who has discussed this same matter with Secretary Lane, is certain that the de partment will favor an amendment to the law granting longer time in .which to make payments for water. Because of the late hour Abel Ady, representing the Klamath Water Users, was unable to present his statement tonight, but he will have two hours tomorrow afternoon. Senators Cham berlain and Lane, who were present tonight, said they also desired to be heard. Senator Lane will specially ask for a greater apportionment of funds to Oregon and will put in a bid for a part of Montana's fl5.000.000 in the event the two big projects in that state are abandoned. Delay Proves Obnoxious. Senator Jones, of Washington, earlier tonight while Washington projects were being discussed, informed Secretary Lane that not a cent of the 320,000,000 .Zi rh.f.Jv!.
