ARMY BOARD IS BLAMED
Tnft Guided by Report, Allows Mere
Pittance for Klamath and Uma
tilla Projects, and No More
Can Be Had Until 1916.
LAFFERTT WILL ASK S.o.00.
Representative-elect Lafferty, in
speaking last night of the slice given
to Oregon by President Taft out of
the S20.oo0.000 appropriated by Con
gress for reclamation work, aald:
"As soon as I get to Washington
I shall Introduce a bill In the lower
house, carrying with It an appropria
tion of se.ooo.000. or whatever our
share may be of the money we pay
Into the reclamation fund, the
money so spproprlated to be ex
pended In the Slate of Oregon for the
development of reclamation projecla.
The bill will become a law, I verily
believe."
(Continued From Tlrat Psss.)
able recommendation from them, the
President made no allotment. He was
guided throughout by the recommenda
tions of this board.
High lands of tha Klamath project
whose reclamation was abandoned
about a year ago. because of excessive
cost, wtll not be reclaimed under the
allotment of 9.S00.0O0. This money will
be applied. It is understood, to com
plete the low-line canal units now in
process of construction. When this
lower work Is completed, the Klamath
project will stand abandoned for a
. rrt,lnlv nothlner ran
be dona before 191 In view of the-
OHEGH SI SILL
fact that the expectea increment to
tha funds is now allotted elsewhere.
The $600,000 allotted Klamath will
complete that section of the project
around Clear Lake, and will complete
part of tha Tula Lake section of the
project.
Fourth Unit Remains.
There yet remains the fourth unit
of the existing Umatilla project, lying
close to the Columbia River. This unit
ran be completed with the (325.000 al
lotment, bringing the total acreage of
the Unatllla project to about 31.00U.
This land, however, lies east of the
river.
Senator Jones, of Washington, has
always been active in promoting Irri
gation work in his state, and largely
because of his activity and because of
the firm tnundntion luld In that state,
nearly K.OOO.OOO is allotted to tha
Yakima project. Specifically. the
President set apart 1 1.350.000 for tha
Sunnyside unit and ft5.000 for the
Tleton unit of Yakima project, both al
lotments coming from the $20,000,000
fund. These allotments, like those for
Oregon projects, will bear interest at
S per rent. In addition, the President
sets sside $13,000 to complete tha Ok
anogan project that , is now In ai. ad
vanced atage. ; ,
No Specific Sum Fixed.
No specific allotments are made for
tha Kittitas. Wapato or Benton unats
of tha Yakima project, which, of
course, means that their construction
must be postponed until after 191S.
Plans sre prepared for these three
projects, buf evidently the board and the
President took the position that Wash
ington wonld be adequately cared for
if existing projects are carried to com
pletion before new ones are entered
upon. The allotment for Sunnyside will
complete It down to Prosser. and allot
ment to Tleton will complete the water
system. Including the conversion of
two lakes into permanent storage
reservoirs, and ' will complete such
work as yet remains to be done, on the
distribution system of this unit.
The President allotted $7,113,435 to
carry on ' Government work in Idaho,
of which all but $5:8.000 goes to the
Payette-Boise prcifct: the half million
goes to complete the Minidoka project.
Of this total. $3,000,000 for Payette
Boise Is taken from the twenty-mll-llon-dollar
fund provided by Congress
laat session, largely because of the ac
tivities of Senator Borah. Tha remain
ing $5,000,000 and over Is allotted out
or receipts to tne regular ugiiu"""
fund between 1S11 and 1914.

Taft Approves Report.
In his letter to the Secretary of the
Interior approving the report of the Jtn
glneers. President Taft says in part:
"I hereby approve the report of the
board of engineers In respect of the
reclamation projects, to which they have
made allotments from the $20,000,000
loan; but this approval, so far as the
amounts of the allotments are con
cerned. Is not final and absolute, but is
Intended to be subject to change by ad
justment and modification of the
amounts as may be necessary for the
Intelligent and proper prosecution of the
work, and to the advantage of tha serv
ice. "You are authorized to call upon the
Secretary of the Treasury to issue certi
ficates of Indebtedness needed to furnish
the funds in accordance with the allot
ment recommended by tha board and ap
proved by ma as tha same shall be
needed from tlma to time in pursuance
of the terms of the act.
Slessage to Be Submitted.
"Tha remainder of the report of the
engineers, which was not responsive to
the direction of the law, but was drawn
at my request and for my information.
I hereby approve; and when Congress
reconvenes in January. I shall submit a
message to the two houses, transmitting
the report announcing my approval of
the same and urging tha adoption of the
enabling legislative measures recom
mended by the board."
In its comprehensive report on the. rec
lamation work in general, the engineers'
board says in part:
"The engineering structures of the
various projects are. as a whole, well
designed and well built. Soma of them,
as the Pathfinder dam, the Shoshone
dam, tha Roosevelt dam and the Gunni
son tunnel, are monuments reflecting
great credit on both designer and
builder.
Modern Irrigation New Art,
"Modern Irrigation- being a relatively
new art in this country, much freedom
was allowed the local engineers in the
design of minor structures. While this
was a wise policy in the early stage of
the work. It has resulted in some com
plicated and unnecessarily expensive
structures- With the present knowledge
of the comparative merits of the differ
ent types. It la believed that standard
designs of tha simplest satisfactory type
should ba adopted for all minor struc
tures. "The most uncertain feature of near
ly all tha projects Is tha water supply.
This Is under state control and in the
prosecution of its work the Reclamation
Service bears tha same relation to the
state as a private Individual or corpor
ation. Where the water rights have been
adjudicated the rights of the United
States are well defined, but elsewhere
they are uncertain and may prove to be
materially different from that assumed.
Early Adjudication Sought,
"It Is recommended that wherever pos
sible steps be taken to secure an early
adjudication of water rights on ' all
projects where such adjudications have
not yet been made and that pending such
action expenditures be kept within the
probable rights of tha United States.
"The sctual cost of completed work
has almost Invariably exceeded tha ori
ginal estimates, and In the case of some
structures has been two or three times
as lsrge. This Increase In cost has been
the causa of much of the discontent
smong the settlers. It -was partly due
. i 4n tVi coat of la-
bor and materials, partly to underesti
mates and an Insufficient alio wane for
contingencies and partly to theecessity
of doing mora work than was originally
contemplated." -

tend to the state's interests, even If
they have the ability. Nevada, with
sagebrush , and Juniper trees instead of
citizens and population, but neverthe
less with an active membership In
Congress pulls out of the fund several
millions; Idaho, with rustling members
in Congress, picks up $7,000,000 to giva
to Its constituency as a Christmas gift:
Washington, with an Industrial spirit
that Is the pride of her people, gets a
slice of the melon worth $2,300,000. All
three states mentioned do no! con
tribute as much as Oregon.
"The position taken by President
Taft in the matter Is not to be crit
icised, simply because Oregon failed to
take advantage of her opportunities.
He contended, and so did the Govern
ment officials, that the fund must be
applied to projects in" course of con
struction. He and his assistants felt
that the better way would be to com
plete those projects 'in the making'
and then take In the money for the
land available for sale and proceed to
start new projects. Of course this
will take until 1916. Oregon Is hold
ing the bag and her sister states are
running away with the money because
they were up early In the morning and
got their projects started. Oregon
wss asleep that Is. her Members of
Congress were, and she permitted the
Senators who were working overtime
on their Jobs to get away with the
plums. We were simply betrayed in our
own house."
K. Beckwith. president of the Com
mercial Club, said last night: "It is
a bitter disappointment to me. I was
in hopes that we would get a good
slice, so that we could have - half a
dozen projects on the way during the
next few years. It simply Illustrates
tho fact that we are lame In some par
ticular and I do not know Just where
it is. - I wonder if there Is anything
else we pay for that the Government
wants to take. Maybe there are a few
ranches it would like. With the ever
grasping forest reserves to block de
velopment, the withdrawal of water-,
power sites and the 'chicken feed' for
reclamation. Oregon "stands In' well
with the powers that be at Washing
ton. It Is about time that we get up
some sort of activity In our Govern
mental relations. There Is no hope for
Oregon under the present method of
handling our affairs. We need more of
the paternal money than we are receiv
ing. It is about time to quit playing
the black sheep of the family.' "
"I can saarcely believe it." said Wil
liam MacMaster. president of the Cham
ber of Commerce. "I felt sure, that we
would receive some reasonable portion
of the fund that Oregon contributed to
the Government. .Tou know It was the
law once that the Government must ex
pend the reclamation money within the
borders of the state whence It came.
Even then we did not get our share.
Then that provision- was knocked out
and we were left high and dry. Some
day Oregon will wake up and find that
with the Government It is a matter of
push and ability whether you get any
part of the money lying around loose
for distribution."
A. W. LAfferty, Representative-elect,
representing the Portland district In
Congress, said: "I expected it. Some
day Oregon will wake up to the fact
that she needs her share of Govern
mental help In the matter of her Indus
trial development. She .can only get
this hy persistent activity in enforcing
her demands. 8he has rights. To get
them It is necessary to fight for them.
It Is a shame that Oregon must be
pushed back because she failed to get
the right kind of a start when the
scramble took place for reclamation
projects in the early stage of the fight."
