Oregon's Work Is Lauded. Oregon is co-op-rating better than any other state in the union with the reclamation service in making pre liminary examinations into possible reclamation projects, according to both Mr. Davis and Mr. Beadle, direc tor and assistant director, respective ly, of the reclamation service. The Klamath lake projects were consid ered progressing roost favorably, par ticularly that region around Tule lake. About 25.000 acres of this re claimed lake land should be ready for throwing open to settlement shortly, it was stated, with the ex- soldiers, sailors and marines having preferential rights. The work on the upper Klamath lake project is being held up for further investigations, it was said. It has been the desire of the reclamation service to use the upper lake for storage purposes. "Twenty years from now there will be thousands of acres in Oregon re claimed from the desert anJ in suc cessful cultivati6n," forecast Repre sentative Evans of Montana, a promi nent member of tho committee. "Rec lamation methods are being rapidly improved and the government is be coming more active every year in this work. I feel confident that some measure for promoting the projects, such as tho measure now before con gress for providing a government guarantee of interest payments of reclamation bonds, will shortly be passed which will be a great help."

At the dinner last night at the Portland hotel, which was a feature of the entertainment of the visiting representatives. Chairman Good, on behalf of the appropriations commit tee, answered charges which had been hurled at the committee by Secretary of Agriculture Meredith in an address delivered at the Portland Chamber of Commerce Saturday, in which the secretary had declared that congress had lopped off needed appropriations and retained 250,000 for free seeds.

Main 6244 will continue to be of the same mind about free seeds when he prepares nis estimates ior ine coming year,' he said, "for I can certainly say that if his estimates do not contain a sum for free seeds no effort will be made on the part of 4the appropriations committee to include such .an item." Position Held Difficult. Congress is in a difficult position, said Chairman Good, as developments of all kinds are needed for the coun try, and yet the country's finances are in such shape that economy must be exercised. The nation now has 25, 000.000,000 in bonds outstanding, and $4,000,000,000 more in short term cer tificates, he said, and until the coun try has returned to a normal basis strictest economy must be exercised. J. C. Ainsworth, who was chairman of the local entertainment committee, presided at the dinner, and talks, in addition to that of Mr. Good, were made by Representative Cramton, Director Mather of the park service. Director Davis of the reclamation service, and Vice-President McCor mick of the Southern Pacific. Gov ernor Olcott was present and made the address of welcome for the Ore gonians.
