Touring "Arid Lands' Meets Former Con stituents Making Fortunes. What the west should do to educate the easterners as to the value of ir rigation. Is to bring 150 or 200 mem. bers of congress into a couple of ir rigation states where they can see just what is being accomplisnea. ac cording to N. J. Sinnott. representative from the 2d congressional district. Mr. Sinnott, who was at the Imperial yes terday, says that the recent visit or members of the appropriations com mittee will be of great benefit to Oregon. "There were three members of the committee who came west, explained Mr. Sinnott, "who had more or less of an impression that irrigation was eimply a means of getting appropria tions from the government. Now they know what irrigation means. Mr. Wood, of Indiana, found men from his state on the various Irrigation pro. Jccts which we visited." Members Find Home.Felk. There was a delegation of them to greet him at Hermiston and tell him of what water had done to that coun try. Sleeting so many home folk who aro irrigationlsts gave Mr. Wood a new angle on the proposition. A com mitteeman from New Jersey found a man from his own district on an ir rigation farm and this former con stituent showed that he has made a clear profit of $40,000 in 10 years as -an irrigationist. A committeeman from Iowa also, found men from his state who are out in the west on these projects. "When I left the committee in Mon tana, the easterners were even more enthusiastic over irrigation than any westerner I have found. They talked of the 'arid west until I showed them fields of alfalfa and when they re turned home their viewpoint had en tirely changed. They now know that irrigation is not merely a scheme to get appropriations from the govern ment, but that it means the develop, ment of the west. Kdnratlan Beats Resolutions. "If this idea could be carried out educating members of congress re clamation would make faster progress than It can by resolutions and mem ori&ls. If the irrigation congresses instead of holding meetings would raise a fund to bring a large number of congressmen-to see what irrigation is doing, it would be money well pent. "The trouble with the mid-western and eastern member of contrress that they cannot grasp the possibili ties or irrigation, but If given an op povtunity to see with their own eyes wnat nas been accomplished by pro jects, they will receive a liberal edu cation within a few days. It would not be necessary to take them all over tr.e west they could go into Idaho or the Yakima district. Every man who would make such a trip, and it should be a pleasure trip, would be a booster for reclamation." Mr. Sinnott says that he contem plates making a complete tour of his district before returning to Washing ton. Senator C. L.. McNary wjll prob ably accompany him through the sec ond district. John H. Feare of La. Grande, one of the active republicans o eastern Ore gon, is ene of the first residents of this state to visit Warren G. Hard, ing since the latter became the nom inee for president.

Hinman of this city fays he will not accept the appointment made by State Commander Gilbert or the American Legion as a committee of one to investigate the alleged dis loyalty of Toveri, a Finnish newspaper published here. -He said: "The appointment was made without consulting me.
