VARIOUS PLANS OFFERED Subject to lie Considered Further Be. lore Adjournment Orcgon.Gov ernor Says Carey Projects in State Toiled. DENVER. April 9. Government fi nancial aid state. Federal or both combined for the relief of irrigation projects in the West was held up a crying need by speakers at the first day's session of the irrigation con ference called by Secretary Lane, of the Interior Department Beginning with Assistant Secretary Jones. of the Interior Department, speaker after speaker told the dele gates that the financial situation with respect to irrigation projects was bad that in remedying this situation lay the secret of the prosperity of the entire West. Several remedies were suggested, including lending of postal savings bank funds to farmers at low interest. Plans will be considered, in greater detail at the later sessions of the conference, which is to continue through the week. Two Flan Sujca-ested. Governor West spoke on the subject of co-operation between the state and Kation in completing Carey act under takings. He said: 1 "If the projects are to be taken over by the federal Government the problem is one which must be worked out by the Interior Department through the Reclamation Service. If they are to be taken over by the states then the problem is one for each state to work out tHrough its Legislature and its Land Board. If, however, the projects are to be taken over by and the lands reclaimed through the co operation of, the Federal Governmen and the several states, then it i problem which this conference mus work out and no adjournment should be taken until we have decided upon some definite plan of action. As view it co-operation may be worked out in two ways: . "1. Federal and state contribution to a common fund upon a dollar-for dollar basis. The funds to be spen under the direction of a board consist lng of the local supervising- enginee of the United States Reclamation Serv ice, the Goverenor of the state and project engineer to be selected by them. "2. Let the Government advance th money and the state assume the obli gation of completing the project and returning the money to the Govern ment within a given time with inter est." Loan of Funds Susrgrested. It was Dr. Elwood Wood, formerly State Engineer of Wyoming, but now employed as an irrigation expert by the government of Victoria, Australia, who suggested the loan of postal sav ings bank funds for the development of the soli. Attorney-General J. II. Petersen, of Idaho,-described irrigation in his state. "In the early days of the Carey act city' dwellers were lured to the arid plains upon representations that cer tain fortune awaited them," he said, "rfome of these converts stuck to it until they learned fanning and irriga tion and made a success. Others went to the city and damned the Carey act. which they believed responsible for their undoing." At the night session of the confer ence Fred R. Dudley, chief of the Carey act division of the General Land Of lice, appeared before the committee on Carey act projects. He said that many projects had failed financially because engineers had not estimated the cost correctly and because of the expense of marketing bond John D. Reavls, of California, to night prepared two resolutions which he said he would introduce before the reclamation committee tomorrow. One calls for the enactment of the reclama tion act "so that the allotment of funds to the reclamation of public lands in each state should be In direct proportion to the amount of money re ceived by the United States from the Bale of public lands within that state." The other resolution suggests that local boards should be authorized to work with the Federal authorities in the expenditure of irrigation funds. has entrances from both Broadway and Sixth streets. What change the return of the Hel- lig attractions to the present Orpheum Theater, Broadway and Taylor streets. ill make in my plans is not yet de cided," said George L. Baker. "It will be necessary for lne to consult the trustees of my -bondholders before 1 ecide.

Transactions preliminary to the final igninir cf the lease at 5:30 o'clock the office of John K. Logan reaa like a romance.

To send the telegram finally agreeing to the lease it was necessary to stop the North Coast Limited train at Prosser, Wash. It gave notice of Mr. Considine's acceptance to P. S. Brumby, the agent of Mr. Blodgett in Portland, prior to 3 P. M. Thursday of last week, which was stipulated by Mr. Blodgett as the expiration of the privilege of option on the lease. Even prior to the big sale at Kansas City. Mr. Considlne had been figuring on the Blodgett theater property ano. on leaving Kansas City, he went to Chicago, where he met in many con ferences with Mr. Blodgett and Mr. Norris, his attorney, in the Palmer House. While together in Chicago they prac tically disagreed on terms and when Mr. Considine left for Seattle it looked much as though "the jig was up." They exchanged telegrams, however, back matlcallv that by the time the train ! I had reached Prosser the two siaes were agreed as to terms and a tenta tive arrangement was made. In SDite of the persistent inquiries. however, the transaction was kept se cret. Even Mr. Considine s attorney. W. M.

CHAXGK IX CAREY ACT URGED Effort to Be Made to Revive Somno lent Irrigation Projects. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, April 9. Following the confer once, now in progress at Denver, be tween representatives of the Interior Department,- and the Governors of Western states. Congress will be asked to make important changes in the Carey act, with a view to reviving sev eral projects now on the rocks flnan cially. A bill to accomplish this end has already been introduced by Repre sentative Hayden, of Arizona. It pro vides for a stricter supervision both on behalf of the state and the United States with respect to the feasibility of proposed irrigation projects, thu protecting both the investor and the settler. The bill reduces the area that may be acquired by any one person from ISO to 80 acres and requires actual residence ou the land for two years and the cultivation of one-half of th irrigable area of the entry before pat ent can issue. The settler is protected by a pro vision which prohibits the sale or entry of land until water is available for Its irrigation and the time of payment extended from ten to 15 years. The difference between the reclama tion law and the Carey act is that unde the first-named law the money to con struct the irrigation works is furnished hv the United States through th reclamation fund, while under the Carey act the public lands are donated to th states and the irrigation woms are constructed under the supervision the state from the proceeds of bond secured by a lien on the - irrigation lauds. The bill by Senator Smith, of Arizona, to extend the time of payment on the Government reclamation projects from ten to SO years, which has passed the Senate, will furnish relief to the set tlfis residing on the 2,000.000 acres irrigated from Co projects constructed under the reclamation law. The pas sage of the Hayden bill is believed necessary to complete the revision of the Federal laws relating to irriga tion and will make it possible to irri gate large areas of land now desert. . ..................... . . ?

Federation Under New Regime Said .to Have Been Conservative Arbitra tion Under Discussion. WASHINGTON. April 9. Charges by Samuel Gompera, president of the Fed eratlon of Labor, that the American Federation of Miners has not been reated fairly in the Calumet copper strike, and criticisms of the compul sory arbitration In labor disputes by representatives of both employers and employes, today marked the close of the first of a series of hearings by the United States industrial relations com mtttee on collective bargaining. The Western Federation of Miners. Mr. Gompera said, was laboring under 'bad name" given it by its enemies and by an old declaration of principles. He said the members of the federation had conducted themselves peaceably and fairly at Calumet, and that for the it few years the organisation had been conservative in its attitude. The Canadian industrial disputes act. under which employers and employes are forced to defer drastic action until rbltration has been tried, was critl cised aa a form of slavery by Mr. Gompers. W. L. MacKenzle King, ex Minister of Labor of Canada, defended it as an excellent method of avoiding labor troubles. Mr. Gompers placed responsibility for most labor strikes on unorganized or newly organized men. and said that most trouble of this kind was. caused by the mental attitude of employers and employes. He asserted he would not object to a Federal mediation and conciliation board for industrial dis putes, except for the danger that ef forts to bring about compulsory arbi tration might follow.
