President Relied on Army En
gineers' Report on
Irrigation.
STATE ENTITLED TO MORE

Rerlaniatlon Kund. Allotment
Should Have Been $13,174,
St Instead or ft25,000.
OREGNlAN NEWS R UREA 17. Wash
ington. Jan. 12. Had President Taft. In
II portioning- funds to carry forward
Government Irrigation work during the
next five year, roada his own Investi
gation, rather than relied upon the ree
ammendatlons of the Board of Army En
Eineers. the 8 lata of Oregon would have
r-trd 1MT4.9 Instead of a Paltry
$s:5 0-W. The larser sum Is rightfully
flue the Stale of Oregon on account or
Irrigation; It has earned such an allot
ment and had that amount been granted
the Reclamation Service would hae
been able, not alone to build the West
Imntltla project, but could have com
pleted the Klamath project to Its last
detail, and had sufficient funds' left over
to build the much-abused, and often
postponed Mhlheur project In the ex
treme eastern part of the state.
It Is ee.v of demonstration that Ore
mn la entitled to $UMT4.: out of an
rete fund of I4SJ&1.S97. lp to .'uno
3 M. Oreson contributed to the rec
lamation fund 9.li:.uc;. Trior to the
re. e nt allotment there had been set
a.Me for the construction of Govern
ment Irrigation works In Oregon a total
of I3.KS.0iM. Assuming that the etate
I Justly entitled to all It contributes to
the cause of Irrigation there Is equltm
My due to the state, on old accounts, a
balance of Ji.7iJ.0i?.
Orrjon Heavy Contributor.
Ore son Is the second heaviest contrib
utor to the National reclamation fund.
It has In fact, contributed to date 14. If
per cent of that fund. Had this percent
er been spplled In making the recent
apportionment and had Oregon received
ill, per cent of the two funds aggre
gating lli.Ifil.8S7. it would have re
ceived on this account t.4Sl.9. whl-h.
iMsJ to the bslance due. brings the
total to more than Jt2.000.000. But In
stead of getting Its fair percentage, and
having its reclMmation account with the
Government adjusted on an equitable
bast. Oregon was apportioned J3U5.OO0.
which Is only 5.04 per cent of the J45.
eMt.DAO at the disposal of the President.
It is well known that the President.
In making the apportionment of Decem
ber 5. 1S10. followed the recommenda
tions of the Army Hoard. In turn the
Army Itoard apparently followed the old
Biblical rule. -The last shall be first and
the first shall be last." for In the msin
the Bojrd recommended the heaviest al
lotments to states that have contributed
Iet to the reclamation fund, and the
tightest apportionments went to the
states whose contritutlone have been
heaviest.
Table Shows Injustice.
This statement Is borne out by table
one. herewith, wh.rh shows, by state,
bow the big JIS.OoO.ooo fund was recent
ly divided up and a careful study of till
table will disclose the great Injustice
that has been done the State of Orcein
and several other atates for that matter.
It is rlarlnslv apparent that a few states
have benefited at the expense of other
states less favored. Oregon conspicuous
among the latter.
For Instance. Montana was allotted
J7.9U.ooo. which Is 17.45 per cent of the
total fund. . Yet Montana has contrto-
uted but S.4? per rent of the regular
reclamation fund. First In the order of
Its benefits. Montana la fourth In Its
contributions to the reclamation fund.
Idaho, which came within JS00.O0O of
the Montana apportionment, got 16.61
per cent of the total fund, yet Idaho
has contributed only f.S9 per cent of the
reclamation fund. Its apportionment la
nesrly double Its contribution.
riven more startlin la New Mexlei.
which was apportioned 14.01 per cent of
the J4S.ftuO.0oO find, being third on the
list of beneficiaries. The figures :..ow
that New Mexico has contributed only
4 41 per rent of the reclamation fund,
and therefore gets a return more than
three tlmea what It la equitably entitled
to receive.
Wyoming Contribution Small
The State of Wyoming is almost as
bad. It at the fourth beneficiary, and
tlie tenth contributor. Tn the present
time. Wyoming haa turned Into the rec
lamation fu- little more than half the
amount allotted to It from the big fund.
And so It goes down the list of states.
Oregon, by way of comparison, while
the second heaviest contributor. Is 11th
on the list of beneficiaries. Where It
has contributed 14.14 per cent of the
total fund. It was apportioned only 5.04
per cent of the J4S.OO.00O. Its appor
tionment. In fact, la less than 10 per
cent of the amount it has contributed.
It is true that North Dakota shows up
even worse on the table than Oregon,
for while North Dakota Is the heaviest,
contributor, alone aurpasalng Oregon. Its
apportionment was only fcro.QVO. a little
more than one-half of one per cent of
the totl fund parceled out by the Presi
dent. But North Dakota Is unlike Ore
gon In that there are no practicable Irri
gation projects In North Dakota other
than what haa already been built, where
as Oregon has sufficient projects to uti
lize Immediately lis full equitable ahsre
of the J4i.uvu.OJU. it msy be noted, also,
that three atstee, California. Kansaa and
Oklahoma, receive nothing from the ap
portionment, though Kansas and Okla
homa can attribute this to the fsct
that no practical projects have been
found within their borders. Hence the
failure to allot. California, on the other
hand has a real grievance, which may be
heard from later.
Table Is Instructive.
Table two. herewith. Is fully as Inter
esting and instructive ss the table Just
analysed land, by the way, table two Is
quoted verbatim from the report of the
Array Board, while table one Is a compi
lation of statistics contained In that re
port .
The second tsble not only shows how
tbe regular Irrigation fund has been
used, to date, but shows by projects,
how the JJu.wl0.0ui special fund, and the
IAOuO.IO reclamation fund (1911-1914) has
been distributed.
It Is seen that the total apportionment
ef Government Irrigation money, up to
the time the Army Board reported, ac
counts for an aggregate expenditure of
JiilM.iKO. Out of tbla total. Jl.ta.0Ut has
gone to Oregon, assuming, as has been
done by the Government, that the Klam
ath expenditures to date have been
chargeable entirely to Oregon. In other
words. Oregon, while contributing more
than 14 per cent of the JSl.dJO.Ooa. has re
ceived less than six per cent.
Not the least Interesting or least Im
portant feature of table two la the last
column, which shows the amounts that
must be allotted hereafter to complete
projects to which the Oovemment Is
committed by tbe apportionment made
by the President on Christmas day. This
column, studied by Itself, demonstrates
that tbe t.000.ono "loan" secured at the
last session of Congress, will not begin
to complete projects that have now been
adopted, even when the fcS.OftO.0K incre
ment to the reclamation fund Is added.
On tne contrary, when the full J46.0u0.000
Is expended, the Government will still
be committed to projects calling for J4J.
112, Sis additional, and If official esti
mates be approximately correct, this will
represent the total increment to the rec
lamation fund for over six years, begin
ning with lSli
Repayment Provided For.
It so happens, however, that under the
terms of the J30.000.000 loaa bill, otie
half of tbe reclamation fund, beginning
five years from the date of the first
advance from the Treasury, must be set
. ..n.rm,nt of this loan.

and in turn that means that it will take

once these projects are begun, they must
be carried through to completion, and
when they are well under way. there will
be no funds available for new projects,
until those started, or about to be start

All this means Just one tning: i vof

National reclamation act beyond what It

SEE IS BEHIND MYSTERY
TEACHER OF NEW CTJIT MAY
TELL ABOUT MISSING GIRL.
Indians Woman fsuepecta Him of
Eloping 'With Daughter Mona
Recs Drops Out of Sight.
CHICAGO. Jan. U. (Special.) A
woman giving the name of Mrs. Aaron
Peterson, who said she lived at Frank
fort. Ind.. appeared at the East Chl-oaco-avenue
solice station today In
quest of an eloping; daughter and hus
band whom she connects wnu. me
teachings of Evelyn Arthur See.
The police believe the Information
she gave will clear up the mystery of
the disappearance of Miss Lillian Jarce.
the Frankfort. Ind.. girl, for whom the
police of the Sheffield-avenue station
have been searching since the "abso
lute life" scandal was unearthed.
Mrs. Peterson declared that her hus
band eloped a few weeks ago with a
girl whose description tallies with that
of Miss- Jarce. She also declared that
her daughter, Ella, ran away from home
with a man who called frequently at
her home and whose photographa re
semble those of See.
Mildred Bridges, follower of See, was
taken before Judge Plnckney In the
Juvenile Court in the afternoon. A
crowd of women thronged the court.
On motion of See s counsel the hear
ing waa postponed to a date to be
fixed by the court, but after the ar
raignment of See. The object of this
move was to prevent the taking of
testimony which might be used against
See. The court ordered the girl neia

A arirl who declares she knows tne
whereabouts of Haxei Qanner, the hid
den 11-year-old daughter of George E.
Danner. who filed a J50.000 suit against
See. waa found in Chicago today
through efforts of Attorney John
Rosen.
The Chief of Police of Lafayette,
Ind.. sent word that no Danner girl had
ever lived In that city; so far as ne
knew. No Danner family could be lo
cated there. The Cnlef Insisted there
was a mistake In George Danner's as
sertions. Mona Rees. who is tbe only one con
nected with the management of the
cult at liberty, has removed the docu
ments and taranhernalla from the Ra
cine-avenue house and dropped ont of
sight. Inasmuch as ahe la of legal
age and was above legal age when she
entered the Institution, the authorities
cannot hold her. She was brought
from Portland. Or., by her mother, also
a convert of See's, and may have re

Initiation of the work on the proposed
defenses be made at tne present. .-
- r.nnrru. Ha forwarded with
the message the report of the special
Army and Navy ooard. recommending
fortification of the canal.
"The canal when completed, said
the President in his message, "will af

"""have authorised the submission to
the Secretary of the Treasury of the
revised estimate for the appropriation
rxferred to in the accompanying letter
of the Secretary of War. which estimate
Is less than the original estimate by
approximately one-third."
The modified report of the fortifi
cations board, accompanying the mesr
sage, reduces the estimate of the cost
of fortfication of he canal from 119.
546.8.4J to 112.475.328. This reduction
waa reached by a 15 per cent cut In
the amount of armament through the
omission of a battery of two "-inch
rifles and four 12-inch mortars at Bat
tle Point; through a redistribution and
gTeater concentration of the proposed
gsrrisons. and through the adoption of
simpler and more economical types of
quarters and emplacements.
The bo,rd recommends that arma
ment at Panama, as modified, shall con
sist of eight 14-inch rifles. 12 six-Inch
rifles and 24 12-inch mortars.
v. .nmmnHpii that the perma
nent garrison in time of peace shall
consist of 20 companies of coast artil
lery four regiments of Infantry, one
