east of Sierra-Cascade ranges of
mountains.
Ita location la strategic.
It la an old project and ona which
tha Government la pledged to build.
Oregon baa had lea than 1)1 per
rent of Ita lu.&oo.ono contribution to
tha reclamation fund.
Ruling- of tha .rmy Board la fa
vorable to the project.
Determined to make known the facta
with retard to the Injustice under
which Oregon Is suffering from the un
fair and Inevitable division of the rec
lamation fun, the Commercial Club of
Portland forwarded yesterday a me
morial to Secretary Balilnger. of the
Impertinent of the Interior.
It contains all the farts pertaining to
the proposed continuation of the Uma
tilla reclamation project, which. If car
ried to a successful conclusion, will
open to settlement C0.000 acres of the
moat valuable agricultural land in the
arid resIon.
Streaa Is placed upon the fact that
the land Involved haa 33 miles of front
age upon the Columbia River. giving
the farmer an outlet to the sea for his
products. In this respect It differs
from any other reclamation work un
dertaken by the United States Govern
ment. "Of the 1.800.000 square miles of arid
America lying east of the Cascade-Sierra
Mountain range." says the me
morial, "only 800 square mltea lies at
an altitude of less than 600 feet.
"This smaJl area is on the Columbia
and the Umatilla project Is In the very
center of this choice spot, being; only
vw icei in an it una. Karller sunrise and
jaier sunset during the Spring- and
Summer, combined with th Intensity
. ricvuunn ei low altitudes In
ana region and the comparative
freedom from frost. Insure larger,
surer, earlier and more Varied crops
on can do grown on any project lo
rated at a higher altitude."
Location Is Strategic.
tt la shown that the location Is stra
in ij miles by rail or water from
""'MO' nines by rail from Spo
a.ane. ana . miles from Seattle and
Tacoma. In connection with the project.
a.1 the understanding that the Govern
ment was committed to It. there has
been withdrawn public and nrlr.r.
and water rights of eatlmated value of
"'"" mere nas been expended by
railways In changing grades $700,000.
In all making a total expenditure with
those of the Government of S3.000.000.
an Investment from which no return
can be obtained until the completion of
the project. It Is contended that the
west unit the one under consideration
Is the original and old established
unit and under the Government policy
f sustaining established projects In
preference to Inltlutlng new. the west
end Is entitled to Ita share of the ap
portionment. Excerpts from the me
morial are as follows:
"An examination of the history of tha
Umatilla project shows that the Gov
ernment is very deeply committed to
the west unit. For. tn l01-4. $17,737
was expended In making Investigations
and surveys alone.
Power Sites Reserved.
"Among the things done are Included
the reservation of several sites for
fewer dams cn the Peschutes River
and the preparation of preliminary
rlanj and estimates for pumping water,
by means of power developed on the
!eschutes River, to $1,000 acres of land
In the west unit of the project. All
public lands on the Deschutes River be
low Kherar'a bridge were reserved for
power purpoaes. and appropriations of
water for power purposes were filed
with the State Engineer. All Irrigable
land under the west unit of tha project
was withdrawn from entry under the
first form, and has been held with
drawn to data.
"Right along with pushing the work
of tbe east unit In the Spring of 1S09.
preliminary Investigations were made
of a reservoir site on the Umatilla
River, and plans were perfected for
watering by gravity from 40.000 to CO.
00 acres of the west unit of the proj
ect. These plana were approved by
the Chief Engineer and Director of the
Reclamation Service, and a recommen
dation was made to the Secretary of
. the Interior that an allotment be
(-ranted to make final surveys and
plana. In the further event that the
p reject proved wholly feasible It was
proposed to allot $500,000 to commence
construction. No definite decision was
reached on thta point by the Secretary
cf the Interior during 1)0$. Subse
quent recommendations of a similar
character were made In January and
August. 1(10.
"During 10 additional areas of land
were withdrawn from entry to protect
the reservoir stte and to facilitate de
velopment of the west division of the
project. Many land entries were also
withheld from patent.
"Oregon Is awarded less than 10 per
cent of Its $$.300,000 contribution to tha
reclamation fund: other states con
tributing $11,000,000 are awarded $$,
000. 000. or 1(4 per cent.
"Proportion of apportionment tn
comparison with contribution: Oregon.
10 per cant: other states. 1(4 per cent."
Flood Water Available.
"The report of the reclamation serv
ice for the year l0J-4 states that the
Irrigable lands of the Umatilla project
lie west of the Umatilla River and
south of and bordering the Colombia
River. The project eontemplatea tha
use of flood waters from the Umatilla
River by storage, supplemented by an
additional supply from Willow Creek
or tributaries of the John Day River.
A reservoir site was recommended, and
all reservoir and Irrigable landa were
withdrawn from entry.
"Surveys showed the feasibility of
carrying water to the land on both
'sides of tbe Umatilla River. By utilis
ing part of the water supply that waa
to Irrigate tbe land west of the river,
It was found possible to carry water
to some 25,000 acres of land on the esst
side of the river. Therefore, two years
later. In 10(. the Umatilla project was
referred to as Including land bordering
the Columbia River near the month
the Umatilla, and being divided by the
Umatilla Klver Into an East Unit and
a West Unit. The lands of the. East
Unit will be Irrigated by water from
the Umatilla Klver. and those of the
West Unit will obtain water from the
same source and the John Day Klver
by gravity system, and from the Des
chutes and Columbia Rivers by pump
ing plant. The water from the Ira
tllla will be sufficient for 60.000 acres,
but by pumping 80,000 more ultimately
can be Irrigated.
The feasibility of the East Unit
having been demonstrated, an allotment
of $1,000,000 was made on December 4
10S. Construction In the East Unit
of the project has been in progress
from l0t to date. This unit is now

Ilailvrays I.eaTe Dams IntaCyt.
"In the Spring of 1909 the Oregon
Trunk Line and the Deschutes Railroad
Company were granted rights of way
In tbe canyon of the Deschutes River.
By way of further conserving its rights.
In preparation for the time of actual
construction the Reclamation Service
took steps to protect the power site
that hadbeen hitherto reserved for use
In connection with the Umatilla project,
and required both" railroads to build
their lines at an elevation sufficient to
leave the power site Intact.
"In the Spring of 1910 the O. R. &
X. Company was granted right of way
for a railroad line known as the Coyote
cut-off. This line was originally pro
jected to pass through the bed of tha
reservoir reserved for -the west di
vision of the Umatilla project. The In
terior Department, refused to grant
right of way until the railroad so lo
cated Its tracks that the reservoir site
was left Intact. The railroad location
was altered to follow the right shore
of the reservoir to a point below the
dam site, thus fully protecting the res
ervoir. "Oregon will continue for years to
be one of the largest contributors to
the reclamation fund. There are today
In tbe state ZO.ooo.OOO acres of unap

The apportionment of this fund has cre

With that verse, sung to the tune of
lias Anybody Here Seen Kelly T' Cap
tain Jack Coffee, for years commander
of Company L First. Infantry. Oregon
National Guard, was welcomed at the
Commercial Club last night at a re
union of members of the old "organisa
tion. The company was disbanded at
the opening of the war with Spain when
some of its members enlisted ' in Com
pany F. Second Oregon United State
Volunteer Infantry.
The reunion bacuuet was also made
the occasion of gathering at one board
men who have played important parts
In the organisation and maintenance of
the Oregon National Guard' and Its his
tory, which began with the formation
of a few companies and drew to their
ranks the flower of the Portland UKh
school student body. Then It grew into
flourishing body of troops that fur
nished the nucleus of tha Second Ore
gon, a regiment that Is admitted to
have covered Itself with more glory
than .any of the citizen soldiery that
participated In a dual campaign the
Spanish War and the Philippine incur,
rectlon Its service drawing compli
mentary recognition from Major-Gen-
eral Merrltt, General Lawton. Admiral
Dewey and other officers of high rank.
Captain Coffee came from San Fran
cisco to be present at the festivities.
while others, who served their time in
the company, came from various points
n Oregon and Washington, .where, they
have made their homes. Of the orig
inal S3 High School Cadets who were
charter members of Company I on the
occasion of its muster Into the First
nfantry, 20 were at the reunion. -Invalid
Comrade Remembered.
Draped about the banquet room were
numerous National flags, while ever
greens In wreaths and streamers com
pleted the decorations. At one end was
hung an oil painting of Captain Coffee.
over which was an American flag, faded
and worn, which had been carried by
Company F when on duty aa palace
guard in Manila, when it acted as body
guard for General Merrltt In the battle
of Manila. August 13. 198. and later as
guard for General Elwell S. Otis. .
Hardly bad the first course been served
when It was announced that Matt De
Lin. one of the early members of Com
pany I. had been an invalid for years
nd was unable to take part in the gath
ering. A unanimous motion was carried
that the well wishes of the "boys" be
conveyed to him by messenger, accom
panted by a handsome floral offering. In
he purchase of which every comrade
waa a contributor. Later a note was
read from the grateful recipient.
Captain - Coffee, as toast master, an
nounced a unique plan of calling on each
guest for a brief talk on his successes
since the days of 14 years ago. This
proved an Interesting diversion and at
times waa highly bumoroua The meet
ing was the foundation for a permanent
organization to meet annually. Details
for the completion of this organization
were left to a committee composed of
J. P. 8. Copland, J. Emmet Bellinger, H.
L. Idleman, E. J. Daly and Dan J. Ma
lar key.
Captain R. K. Warren, who formed
the High School Cadets and - later
launched the organization .to become
known as Company I. First Infantry
O. N. G.. recalled to the little band of
charter members the discipline exacted
of the young students and of their
promise to abide by the compulsory
exactions of military duties. Because
of school work he found It Impossible
to continue as company commander, he
said, and told of welcoming Captain
Coffee in that role, he having been
elected from Company G in which he
waa First Lieutenant.
Russell Sewall. as "one of the first"
told of things as they were when the
members were shy on uniforms but
overloaded with enthusiasm, and of
various Incidents that brought ' forth
roars of laughter.

the holder of commissioned grades, fell
the role of historian. He narrated tho
first uniforms, made of caps, home
manufactured belts loaned from Com
pany O stores, and the original Spring
field rifles. He delved into stories of
the first sham battle at Vancouver
Barracks, athletic meets at the Ar
mory and Company I tiops, famed for
their class.
Colonel Becbe Speaks.
General Charles F. Beebe, the first
colonel of the regiment and who had
the longest service as an officer.
pointed out the gains made from the
formation of the National Guard, how
Its early struggles were in the face of
r obstacles, but how the showing of too
regiment had gained for it assistance
tftnd it grew with strides until the war
of 1898. when It was rated the peer 01
all volunteer troops in point of equip
ment. -discipline and appearance. The
enthusiasm of the speaker reached his
hearers with such force that he said
in conclusion that their demonstrative
appreciation of his sentiments that the
coming generation should be taugnt
from what the present one had gained
through military training would be re
membered as long as he lives.
Colonel Charles. E. McDonell, who
entered Company A in the ranks, rose
through the noncommissioned grades
and finally to that of Lieutenant, and
was then elected to the captaincy of
Company H, with which he went to the
Philippines, spoke of active service,
prefacing his remarks with recollec
tions of his militia days, and conclud
ing with a tribute to Major J. Frank
Case. U. S. V., who went to the islands
as commander of Company F, was .ad
vanced to the staff of Major Lawton as
engineer officer, with the rank of Major,
and was later given such Important Gov
ernment work as the rebuilding of the
Manila waterworks, its harbor Improve
ments and sewerage system. He is now
in Cuba, said Colonel McDonell, on
similar labors and would probably have
charge of the work of raising the battle
ship Maine. Of - others from old Com
pany I that, faced the "goo goos" Col
onel McDonell spoke feelingly.
Colonel Jackson on 'Regular Army.'
"The Regular Army," was a topic as
signed to Colonel 'James Jackson, Iif-spector-General
of the O. N. G-, and ho
confined himself to -illustrating the need
of a sufficient force of citizen soldiers,
laying stress on mistakes that had been
made previous to all great wars the
United States had participated In. He
offered to his hearers what he termed
"examples in arithmetic" in deducting
the ultimate cost of wars with unsea
soned, untrained men against what
would have been needed to maintain
reasonable standing armies that would
have been sufficient to crush early trou
bles. He told of the experience of Eu
ropean countries where military service
is compulsory and ended by urging the
ex-mllitiamen to guide the younger
men and boys into the state service.
Dan J. Malarkey, R. S. Farrell. Dr.
Emmett Drake and E. J. Daly spoke in
reminiscent vein, picturing to. their
former "bunkles" scenes that needed
little reviving but replctured Summer
camps, the Astoria strike and events
at the Armory.
But one cloud fell on the gathering
and that was tbe news of the serious
Ulness and then of the death of the

Wolverton 'Will Not Place Him on
Third Base, as He Intends
to Play That Sack.
SAN FRANCI6CO. Jan. 21. (Special.)
Gus Hetling, who was the storm cen
ter of the Portland-Oakland protested
games and whose release was purchased
by Oakland from Portland last Fall,
has sent, iri his 1911 signed contract
with 'the Commuters, from St. Louis.
Hetling, In his letter, says that he is
pleased at his transfer to the Oakland
team and that as he has recovered his
health he hopes to do himself Justice.
.Wolverton, it Is .'said, figures on
using Hetling In the utility role and
will not station him at third base, as
the manager expects to play that sack
himself. The statement that has been
made that Wolverton would manage
the club ; from the bench is wrong,
for Harry writes that he has recovered
from the injury to his legs sustained
last year. Hetling can play any Infield
position- and can be thrown Into the
outfield in an emergency. He went
from the St. Louis Americans to Port
land and previous to that was in the
American Association.
Wolverton has added another catcher
to his 'list of players. John Tiede-
mann is the chap and he has been pur
chased from the Norfolk club of the
Virginia League. Tiedemann's home
Is In Alameda.- and nis worn with a
semi-professional club has caused much
notice. The ex-oaRiana outneider. Bill
Dunleary. Is Tiedemann's best booster.

of the Commercial Club and sports
men of Baker was held this evening to
prepare a bill to be presented to the
Legislature asking for the establish
ment of a trout hatchery lor eastern
Oregon to be located at Olive Lake, In
Grant County.
It is held that Olive Lake is tha most
suitable site in all Eastern Oregon
for a hatchery and that trout can be
distributed from this point to the
heads of the various streams heading
near the lake which will carry them
virtually throughout the whole of Cen
tral and Eastern Oregon. A message
was sent to the Baker delegation at
