TTTE- MOKXTXq VRT;nOXTAy. TTTESDAT, DECrarBER 1, 1914. STATE MUST ACT TO GET IBRIGATIOllilD Allotment of $450,000 by Gov ernment Not Available Until Like Sum Is Provided. RULE MADE BY MR. LANE Any Project TJndertaken Must Be Constructed as Unit, in Co-operation, With Federal Engi- neers in Direct Charge. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. 30 Until the Oregon Leg islature appropriates not leas than S450.OO0. to be used jointly with a like amount of Federal money. Secretary Lane and the Reclamation Service will take no steps toward the construction of a co-operative irrigation project in Central Oregon, and until the state Tunes are available the money hereto tore allotted by Secretary Lane for co operative work will remain In the rec lamation fund untouched. Nearly a year ago, at the request of Governor West, Secretary Lane de cided to enter upon the construction of some irrigation project in Central Ore Kon in co-operation with the State of Oregon, and tentatively allotted $450, 000 as the Government's share of the cost of the project to be built, but he stipulated then that the Government money could not be used until a like amount had actually been contributed by the state. The state had no money available for such use, and cannot have until the Legislature makes an appro priation, and therefore the allotment made by Secretary Lane has been un touched. That allotment will lapse on Decem ber 31, but Secretary Lane will reallot the $450,000 conditionally, and will await action by the Oregon Legislature at Its coming session. If the Legisla ture appropriates $450,000, and if that amount is turned over by the state to the Secretary of the Interior, then some project will be decided upon, and work will be begun soon after the joint fund becomes available, but until the Leg islature makes this appropriation. Sec retary Lane will not so much as desig nate the project which he will be will ing to build, in conjunction with the fctate. Under the terms of the agreement with the state, this co-operative project must be built by the Reclamation Serv ice, but the State Engineer will be ex pected to co-operate, both in deciding ipon the project to be built, and in laying out the project, and carrying forward the work of construction. Re sponsibility for construction, however, will rest on the Reclamation Service, and Government engineers will be in charge. If the Legislature, at its coming ses sion, fails to make an appropriation of $450,000 or more, then the allotment made by Secretary Lane, will be re voked, and the $450,000 of Federal money will revert to the reclamation fund, to be used on other projects. The Secretary will insist that the project, whatever it may be. shall be built as a unit, and be built under a single direction. BIOXEV OWKD, SAY OKEGOMAXS Appropriation or 1913 Declared l'uinilment or Obligation. Those who have been connected with irrigation work in Oregon intimate that Secretary of Interior Lane is not act ing fairly in connection with the ap propriation of $450,000 for irrigation work in Oregon. They assert that the 1913 Oregon Legislature in appropriat ing $450,000 tp carry out the Tumalo project made Oregon eligible for the expenditure of the $450,000 by the Gov ernment, and that Oregon should not be required to appropriate an additional $450,000. Oregon was the first' state in the Union to take advantage of the under standing that the Government would match any appropriation made by the etate for irrigation work. "As I undertsand the situation Ore iron has fulfilled her obligations al ready by appropriating $450,000 to finance the Tumalo irrigation project," eaid J. N. Teal, chairman of the Oregon Conservation Congress, yesterday. "The Department of the Interior set apart $450,000 for co-operative work then contemplated in Oregon. This was done . in March, 1913, and my understanding is that this was meant to match the $450,000 appropriated by the fctate. Just' as the Government appropriated $50,000 and the state $50,000 ' to survey the Deschutes territory relative to a pro spective improvement. "The whole thing in 'a nutshell is that the Department at Washington is pretty hard up and wants to get out nf this obligation by contending that Oregon must donate another $450,000 if she is to get the benefit oZ the $450, 000 already set aside by the Govern ment for expenditure in Oregon," said C. C. Chapman, secretary of the Oregon Development League. "The whole thing may be solved by reference to a letter written by Direc tor Newell In March. 1913, and ap proved by Secretary Lane in June, 1913. These recommendations, copies of which we have in Portland, clearly show that the $450,000 Is already aue Oregon. When Secretary Lane was in Oregon in August, 1913, he told the people of the Deschutes country that the $450,000 was to be spent in Oregon by the Gov ernment. Now to say that Oregon must put up another $450,000 before the Gov ernment money is available Is ridicu lous. "So long as we talk about the possi bility of getting a $450,000 appropria tion through the coming Oregon Legis lature we will lose out, for we all know that such a thrng would be Im possible at this time when everyone is crying economy. The promise has been made to us and it is up to us to see that it is fulfilled. We have already spent our money on the Tumalo project, and the Government is morally in Ore gon's debt not only for the $450,000 that has already been set aside, but for millions more that have rightly be longed to us. "The allotment of the $450,000 to use in Oregon was based on the findings to be reported on the survey of the Des chutes country. This report has just been finished, so that the Government could not have spent the $450,000 in Oregon until this time.' Mr. Teal said yesterday that Oregon's Senators In Washington should ask that the original promises be carried out, or else give up all hope of ever receiving the benefits of the appropriated $450, 000, in view of the small likelihood that the Oregon Legislature can be induced to make another $450,000 appropriation at this time. fu, the metropolitan district in which Pekin is situated, has been executed by shooting because of bribery and cor ruption for selling offices under him and accepting "squeeze."

ENGLAND FEARS LIQUOR WOME5 PROTEST TREATING SOL DIERS A.VD USB BY OWN SEX. Increase of Drunkenness Among Those nose Hnsbands Are at Front Alarms Halls Fish Evil. LONDON, Nov. 20. (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Every day the demand In London for a stricter regulation of the sale of liquor during the war becomes more Insistent. Mili tary authorities are disgusted with the drunkenness of soldiers brought about by the disposition of civilians to treat all men in uniform. Lord Kitchener has issued many pro tests against the -treating of his sol diers, but without the desired results. Even the closing of the public nouses at 10 o'clock at night has not cured the evil and stricter regulations seem inevitable. The increase of drunkenness among women, especially among women whose husbands have entered the service, has fallen under the observation of social workers in all parts of London and many delegations of prominent women have appeared before licensing justices in an effort to check this practice by regulation of some sort. The Duchess of Marlborough, Lady Byles, Mrs. McKenna, Mrs. James Gow and many other prominent women com posed a delegation which recently vis ited Mr. McKenna at the Home Office and asked his assistance in battling the wave of alcoholism among women. Lady- Byles, who presented the dele gation, explained that they represented different opinions, socially and polit ically, but were unanimous in their opinion that the government should take Immediate steps to check drink ing among the women. Mr. McKenna replied that it would require a new act of Parliament to enable him to curtail the hours of liquor selling further. He promised to submit the suggestion to the House. In his last days Lord Roberts made this appeal to the public to cease tempting the soldiers with liquor: "I feel it is my duty to point out to the civil population that putting temptation in the way of our soldiers by injudiciously treating them to drink is injurious to them and prejudicial to our chances of victory A disused beerhouse on Arthur street has been converted into what Is called the Women's War Club. Little change has been made in the bar, except that only temperance drinks will be served. Lady Jellicoe has established a tem perance hall for women in Hammer smith road, a section which-has af forded many recruits and abounds in public houses. Mrs. B. Lathrop, a prominent member of the American committee, has insti tuted a similar recreation center on Copenhagen street, Islington, in a square where there are five nublie houses which have the patronage of many women. One quart of nourishing souo and one-fourth loaf of bread are supplied to war widows for z cents. INDEPENDENCE ISLES' PLEA Vice-Governor to Urge Passage or Jones' Bill as Issne. SAN FRANCISCO.
