Trill, of Hale rixed for Conference Between 4 W'tstirn Governors and Repre sentative of Department to Decide on Details. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, March 22. Secretary Lane, of he Interior Department, will be unable to confer personally at Denver with the Governors cf the Western states vith a view to outlining a general policy of co-operation between the Fed eral Government and the states look ing to the completion of private irriga tion projects, which are threatened with disaster. He has, however, fixed April 9 as the date when the confer ences will begin and has delegated As sistant Secretary Jones to represent the Interior Department. The date chosen is the day immediately follow ing the annual conference of Western Governors. Secretary Lane has outlined six top ics for consideration. They .are: "Co operation Between Nation and State," "Carey Act Projects," 'Itrrlgation Dis tricts," "Administration and Operation of the Desert Land Act." "Settlement of Irrigated lands: Crops, Markets and Finances," and "Ways and Means of i'inancing Future Works." Federal Aid IVeceasary. It is Secretary Lane's idea, based on observations made in the West last Summer, that Government assistance is necessary to pull a great many pri vate projects out of the mire. Lack of confidence in irrigation bonds; difficul ties experienced by private interests In financing projects which have been begun, but are not finished, and the engineering problems which threaten some projects with failure all tend to make it necessary for the Federal Gov ernment to lend a helping hand. This Secretary Lane favors, provided he assured of hearty co-operation on the part of the states affected and the projects themselves, or those back ing thero. . There is a shortage of money for carrying on Government irrigation work on a scale. Congress has done nothing toward authorizing a big loan to the reclamation fund and the pros pects for such a loan are not good However, there remains available a certain amount which, judiciously dis tributed, would Suable the Government, with the co-operation of the states, to help several private projects out of financial difficulties and thus protect settlers who in good faith have gone on these projects, assuming they would be completed 4s promised. Moirf Munt Be Returned. One million dollars of Government money, used with a like amount raised by the states, would go far to rehabili tate several uncompleted private proj ects, and with this minimum expend! ture of Federal funds a larger area could be brought under irrigation than would be possible if the same amount were applied to a new project, built entirely with money taken from the reclamation fund. Secretary Lane does not indicate as yet how much money can be set apart for co-operative work on uncompleted private projects, but It is assumed that several million dol lars can be found, if the states will agree to share evenly with the Govern ment the cost of finishing private proj ects that are now at a standstill be cause of lack of financial backing. The Government will insist that any money tt may set apart shall, in time, be returned to the reclamation fund, for co-operative work could be under taken on no other basis under the present law. However, Secretary Lane is disposed to make the terms as easy as possible on the settlers. PROMINENT RESIDENT OF CO- t U11LL.K. CIVII, WAR VET ERA!', DIES. t litlUE, CIVII, WAR VET- t ERAIV, DIES.

He is 26 years old and doesn't know fear. We knew we would t,et the truth from him, but frankly confess we did not expect the wonderful word pictures oi a country torn and bleeding with civil war that we publish in our April number. We got the truth about Mexico, but greater than that we dis covered an American Kipling. Hot from the front has come John Reed's first "story" of Mexico. By holding our presses we just had time to catch the April number now on the news-stands. It's literature. What Stephen Crane and Richard Harding Davis did for the Spanish-American War in 1898, John Reed, 26 -years old, has done for Mexico. You see that beautiful, blood-drenched country with freshly dug graves crowding the public roads. You see glorious, drunken nights of revelry where mirth is turned to tragedy by jealousy fired with too generous gulps of sotol for even in war sparkling eyes and red lips sway the passions of men. You see General Urbina, surrounded by his gaily decked fighters, traveling with his mother and his mistress. And for the first time you will understand this monstrous, paradoxical struggle wag ing at our very doorstep. Yes, Reed's story is literature.
