ly rlg"ht," eaid Mrs. Trumbull yes
terday. "Without harmony, efficiency
is impossible. I sensed the situation
to keenly that I had already an
nounced my resignation to the two
labor boards under "which 1 am work
ing, and had it not been for the
pressure of work in the offica this
last week, my resignation would have
been in the hands of the governor."
DeVarney Not Sarprlscd,
"Personally I think the governor
ild the right thing, the wise thing
under the circumstances," stated Mr,
DeVarney. "The change Is not al
together" a eurprisa to me. I had
anticipated it, because conditions
were such that things could, not go
n as they were."

tho third member o . the old com
mission appointed by the governor.
W. D. Wheelwright, one of the new

rriving at Bend Friday night.
Saturday was spent visiting the
projects in trie vicinity of Bend;
Prinevillo and Madras. From Port
land tho party left last night for
Tacoma to visit the Rainier national
park.
The next stop of Importance will
be at the Yakima reclamation project
and from there a trip will be made
over the Umatilla project in eastern
Oregon. The Columbia basin project
then will be visited and from there
the representatives will visit the va
rious projects in Idaho and Montana
and the Yellowstone, and Glacier na-
uonai, parKS.
Although the tour has as its pur
pose the obtaining of data at first
hand regardi-ng the parks and recla
mation projects, the trip is not with
out its lighter features. Karly on
Wednesday morning, while the other
members of the party were peacefully
sleeping at Crater Lake lodge. Repre
sentative Kagan, who hails from New
Jersey, fared forth for a plunge into
Crater lake. The water registered 39
degrees, -it was reported. The same
afternoon, after the long automobile
trip from the lake to Bend, Judge
Kvans, who was elected to the house
from Montana, rode another 60 miles
to Udell lake and back to set some
fishing. lie caught several, he
claimed upon his return to Bend.
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."

mittee were loath to express any

behalf of the appropriations commit

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.

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
