7. THE 3I0RNIXG OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, JANUARY G, 1922 SPOKANE SEEKS 1 BASIN PROJECT Seattle and Tacoma Busi ness Men Approached. PARTY TO BE HERE TODAY $10,000 Needed to Get Goetlials to Come, West to Investigate Great Irrigation Proposal. rUGET SQUND HUREAU, Seattle, Wash., Jan. E. The delegation of Spo. kane business men visiting Seattle to day, Tacoma tonight and I'ortland to morrow. Is out to meet an emergency. Immediate help Is needed, as well as continuing sympathy and co-operation. Unless Seattle, Tacoma and I'ortland make proper response the mission of the Spokane men will have been in vain. The great Columbia river basin reclamation project in which Spokane fcao done so much to Inspire general Interest Is held to be In danger, not necessarily of definite abandonment, tut certainly of delay. A project so vast In Its dimensions and possibilities must have government recognition and aid. It must be made a federal project, and to have this done It must be so commended to the attention of congress as to obtain favorable ac tion. To obtain such action, accord ing to the view of the Spokane dele ration, the wholo Pi.clfic northwest Onust be united behind the project. Expert Opinion AdvUed. The Spokane men, officers of the Seattle chamber of commerce, mem bers of the state development bureau a-nd a group of Seattle business men lunched together at noon today. The fipokane men presented the situation as It appears to them. When General Vood wu westward bound on his way to the Philippines he passed over the area embraced within the project and proffered the suggestion that expert opinion of some such eminent engineer as General Goethals would be of great value. The sug gestion was taken up with Senators Jones and Polndexter and with Direc tor Scott of the state bureau of reclamation, through whom an Invi tation was sent to General Goethals. Word has lately been received that Goethals will come, make a thorough Investigation of and report on the project. He can come only in the lat ter part of this month or during Feb ruary. The fee for his services will be $25,000. Of the $25,000 appropriated by the state legislature for the pros ecution of surveys of the project Director Scott still has In hand about $15,000. This he Is willing to apply to the Goethals fee provided the re maining $10,000 Is raised by private contributions. 910,000 la Needed. This Is the emergency the Spokane delegation is out to meet. The $10,000 must be raised at once or Goethals' Investigation postponed, perhaps In definitely. Seattle and Tacoma were today asked to help. Tortland will be asked tomorrow. Speakers for Spokane were George A. Phillips, president of the chamber of commerce; Nelson W. Durham and Charles Hebberd. Mr. Phillips urged a closer co-operation among all north western cities and communities In all undertakings of benefit to the whole region and each section of It. Mr. Durham followed with an exposition of the vast benefits to accrue from completion of the project, and Mr. Hebberd closed with an appeal for assurance of Seattle's contribution to the fund. Each speaker made strong declaration of interest in the success o every other reclamation project in the northwest, expressing the belief that none of these would suffer In the least from neglect or delay through united promotion of the Co lumbia basin enterprise. The Seattle men present 4ook no action on the matter. Howard A. Han son, chairman of the state develop ment bureau, assured the Spokane delegates that his bureau would give their request Immediate consideration and report to the trustees of the chamber of commerce for final action. The decision, he believed, might be pected within a few days. MAHOXEY HANGING PUT OFF Counsel Takes Legal Steps to Per mit Longer Stay of Life. PUGET SOUND BUREAU. Seflttle. Wash., Jan. 6.
