Barnes Has Higtt Praise for Results Obtained by Ore gon Delegation in Congress. Oregon's congressional delegation has done wonders in Washington with regard to the development of the central and southern Oregon country, said E. W. Barnes, a local man who has been acting as emis sary of Harney and Grant counties in obtaining recognition of their needs. "Since coming back to Portlahd where I usually make my home, I find a terrific fight is being waged against Representative McArthur," said Mr. Barnes. "Viewing this is sue in Portland from a state stand point and in the light of my ex perience the past 12 months, I am frank to say I am amazed that the people of Portland should jeopard ize effective service at Washington at present by such a campaign as is taking place. Surely the develop ment of Oregon and the bigger de velopment of this ctiy that must follow is of more importance than any of the issues that are being pre sented in connection with the fight on Mr. McArthur. "On the whole I am constrained to say that the state's interests are being protected now in an excep tionally good manner and out of this team work that I observed in Washington are coming greater re turns for Oregon and Portland. I might suggest that the magnitude of these returns is only lightly ap precitade now because their cumu lative value will be manifest in greater and greater form every month of the coming two years.
