RECLMT1 BILL Chances for Smith-McNary Measure Now Small. Wife Says Chauffeur Has De serted Her for Other. NEXT SESSION AWAITED $25 ALIMONY IS ASKED Retirement of Wyoming Iieader of House Committee Held Neces sary for Progress. Mrs, Evelyn Schneider Declares That Mate Taunted Her With His Friendship for VFomas. MONDELL HOLDS IIP DIHflTK EVELYWNESBITTHAW THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, D. C, May 22. All hop of passing the Sraith-McNary recla mation bill at this session of con gress appears to have been blasted. Friends of the measure admit the chief reason is that representative Mondell of Wyoming, majority leader of the house, stands In the way and declines to help advocates of the bill obtain the O. K. of the house steer ing: committee. Western republican members are beginning to speak quite frankly with reference to Mr. Mondell's attitude, declaring that the greatest misfor tune that has happened to the west in many years was when republican victory in 1918 carried the Wyoming statesman into the majority leader ship. His attitude is the most surprising development of the efforts of the west to bring about a resumption of , the , republican policy of reclaiming the arid lands of the west. Mondell Earlier Champion. Representative Mondell was one of the earlier champions of reclamation and was president of the national irri gation congress in 1909, when that body held its annual gathering at Spokane. Since then, however, it is complained that his work has kept him in Washington to an extent to get him out of touch with the west. His associations have become eastern and it is asserted that he has acquired the eastern viewpoint When the western governors were here two years ago to urge reclama tion legislation, it was then charged that Mr. Mondell received them with an attitude of intolerance and it is declared that his intolerance toward the western desire for reclamation relief has grown rather than dimin ished. Representative Mondell will retire from the house next March because he is to be the republican candidate for the senate in Wyoming this falL While his retirement is reassuring to western friends for reclamation they dread to think that they must wait until he gets out of the house before they can obtain action. Future Come Another Worry. But still another worry is whether Mr. Mondell, if elected to the senate. will continue to oppose legislation for western development. It is pointed out, however, that he would be less influential in the senate where older senators would speak for the west. Senator Kendrick, democrat, who will be Representative Mondell's op ponent In the senatorial race this fall, is one of the pioneers in the move ment to reclaim the arid west, i As governor of Wyoming he caused, a urvey to be made' which disclosed that Wyoming had 1,000,000 acres of land eubject to irrigation, 400,000 acres of which lie in a single body One year's crop of. the reclamation projects during the war, said Senator Kendrick, equaled in value one-half the cost of all the irrigation works that the government has constructed in the west. There would be not the least difficulty in financing the con st ruction work to be carried on under the terms of the Smith-McNary act, and it must be remembered that this money would come back to the gov ernment 100 per cent. "Senator Ken drick points out further that the problem of flood control would be largely solved by the development of a comprehensive arid land reclama . tion programme. The millions which the government pays out annually for flood control, he declares, would be saved. Photo copyright hy Underwood. JoseDh H.

Direct- operation of wireless ap paratus aboard light vessels in the 17th Lighthouse district" is to be taken over from the navy by the Bureau of Lighthouses by June 30, so Robert Warrack, superintendent here, has been advised. Fog signal systems also are planned for instal lation on the vessels and ships hav ing direction finders are expected to bo aided materially in thick weather in locating light vessels, so as to de termine or verify their positions. The light vessels Swiftsure, Uma tilla and Columbia are maintained in this district, marking Swiftsure bank, Umatilla reef ana the entrance to the Columbia river. The navy de partment has furnished operators for the ships, a relief vessel also has been supplied which was available for sea duty at all times, while another operator was detailed to re lieve men from the ships on station. At navy stations ashore fog signals pre sent out, but the use of them on light vessels Is counted to to prove of greater advantage and in broad casting them the probabilities are the wave length will be such "as not to interfere with the more powerful apparatus, yet reach vessels in the vicinity. . The change in. direct radio opera tion aboard the light vessels means employment of operators by the Bu reau of Lighthouses. There are men -. already in such capacities on light house tenders and it is believed the force can be extended so as to easily organize a staff to look after the light vessels by the time the navy op erators are to be relieved. prosecuted under direction of the secretary of war, there is no assur ance that the appropriations com mittee will recommend the expendi ture of all that sum. It approves more than- 25 projects, authorizes modification of five and abandonment of three. The items range all the way from $10,400,000 for New Rochelle and Echo Bay harbor.
