ORBOONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Jan. 1. The failure of Ore
Ron to secure a fair share of the 45.
000.000 Irrigation fund distributed by
President Taft on Pecember 2 Is at
tributable In a large degree to the In
activity of the Oregon Senators. While
Senators from competing states were
aggressively demanding a large slice
of this fund for their respective pro
jects, and were pressing demands not
only upon the President, but upon
members of the Board of Array Engi
neers, the Oregon solons remained
quiescent, apparently willing to ac
cept whatever might be apportioned.
The result Is that the large slices of
the fund went to states whose bena
tors were most Insistent, and $9:S.OOO
was awarded to Oregon out of a total
of f45.3Sl.83T.
Senatorial Influence Counts.
While ostensibly the apportionment
of this vast Irrigation fund was based
exclusively upon the recommenda
tions of the Army Board, and while It
Is announced that the Board report Is
based entirely upon the merits of re
spective projects, analysis of the ap
portionment figures' leads to the posi
tive conclusion that the President or
the Board, or both, were swayed by
senatorial Influence.
Feasibility and desirability were
not always the controlling factors, for
projects more attractive, less expen
sive, and much more promising than
some to which allotments were made
were rejected .by the President, and
vast imni were placed to the credit of
projects that cannot be completed
within a reasonable time, or at reason
able cost, as was contemplated by the
120.000.000 law. which formed tha basis
for the big apportionment.
Klamath Project Handicapped.
Three projects in Oregon were eligi
ble to receive large allotments from
the S4S.000.000 fund; the Umatilla, tha
Klamath and the Malheur. In view of
the black ey which the Klamath pro
ject has received, however, due large
ly to the protests of a considerable
number of land owners on that project.
It was not contemplated that any
mnnv wonld be set aside to extend
Its canals beyond the point called for
by existing approved plans, and the
1(00.000 which was given the Klamath
project will do Just this, and nothing
more. This money will all be spent
before the close of next Summer, and
then work will be shut down for four
years or more.
The west aide extension of the Uma
tilla project, however, was in a posi
tion to expect sufficient money to start
construction, and carry the work well
towards completion. In fact, there was
equitable ground for expecting that
an allotment ample to complete this
extension would be made. But the Army
Kngineer Board did not recommend
such an allotment, and the ITesident
did not make It. especially as he was
not under pressure to do so. Yet It
im a well-known fact that the Umatilla
west side project Is today one of the
best business propositions before the
Government, and offers one of the most
promising projects ever aurveyed.
Arm; Engineers Impractical.
With Its low elevation. Ideal climate,
accessibility to big markets (being lo
cated on the main line of a big rail
road to Portland, Spokane and the
East) and because of Its wonderfully
productive soli, the Umatilla project
gave assurance of yielding a bigver re
turn on the money Invested than al
most any other project considered by
the Army Board. Hut the Army
officers, being unfamiliar with practi
cal Irrigation questions, wero preju
diced against this project largely be
cause they found It would be neces
sary. In providing an adequate stor
age reservoir, to flood several hundred
acres now planted out in alfalfa. Tet

acres of cultivated land. t Jrfether with

the most valuable fruit region of East
ern Oregon, and Indeed of the entire
West. Ta! 60.WO acres. cow of
little value, would under Irrigation be
worth easily $S0O an acre in a few
years.
Tet there was no one to go before
the Board, and convince the members
of the wisdom of destroying a few

convert Into orchards 00.000 acres now

CHICAGO, Jan. 1. (Special.) All
records for gross earnings by railroads
In the United States were broken dur
ing ISflO. the approximate total being
I2.S35.374, 581. This huge sum shows
an Increase of $217,197,972 over the
total for 1909. and of $214,085,771 over
the previous high record of 1907.
So great, however, was the addition
to operating expenses In 1910 that tbo
net .earnings from operation Increased
only $3,538,561. or scarcely more than
one-third of 1 per cent above those of
1909.
The advance in expenses occasioned
by the raise In wages last Spring and
the cost of deferred maintenance was
so rapid that the net receipts for the
second half of the year were $33,259,256
less than for the corresponding period
of 1909.
Reversal I Significant.
One of the most significant develop
ments of the year, from a statistical
standpoint. Is this unusual reversal In
the character of net earnings during
the second half of 1910. That this was
not due to any recession in gross rev
enues is proved by the fact that the
latter show an Increase for the half
year of over $48,000,000, which was
overwhelmed by an Increase of over

Berlin Dressmakers Also Ilave
Grievance, as Women at Court
Buy Their' Gowns Elsewhere.
. BERLIN, Jan. I. (Special.) The
very latest grievance against the Kai
ser Is that he will not employ a Ger
man tailor, but has his clothes made
In London. The nobility and all the
well-dressed men In German society
follow his custom, so that the native
tailors are In despair. They have de
cided to draw up a petition to the
Kaiser, pointing out the distressing re
sults for German trade of his Anglo
mania in the matter of dress.
It Is Just the same with the German
dressmakers. Headed by their Crown
Princess, the best-dressed woman at
court, the German society women avoid
German dressmakers and send their or
ders to Paris, Vienna or some times to
London. The trouble Is said to be that
German tailors and dressmakers abso
lutely fail to give that touch of ele
gance and finish to their work which
is the hall-mark of Parisian dress
makers and London tailors.
The women's dresses of home manu
facture seem out of date and almost
ugly, while the native tailors' products
look as If they had been thrown to
