Secretary Enthusiastic Over
What Reclamation Will Do
for Entire Nation.
DETAILS BEING STUDIED
Prediction Keiterated That Central
Oregon Some Day Will Be Fin
est Agricultural Section
In Country.
OUEGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
Ington. Oct 18. Secretary Lane, head
of the Interior Department intends to
make a determined fight before Con
Kress the coming session to secure the
loan or bond issue ne advocates, which
will make available $100,000,000 for
Government irrigation and drainagi
work in the West. To that end he is
endeavoring to center the attention of
the entire country on the irrigated seO'
tions of the West.
Once the general public realizes what
irrigation has done and can do for the
desert regions, he believes there will
be little objection to a loan to the recla
mation fund, even if it be for the sum
named. It is to the irrigated lands that
the country must look for its increased
production of food products, in the opin
ion of the Secretary, and if 1100,000,000
in addition to amounts now available
can be ezDended for irrigation and
drainage during the next decade, Secre
tary Lane believes the problem of high
cost of living will be at least partially
solved.
Central Oregon Promising.
The Secretary on his recent trip
through the West was Impressed with
the agricultural possibilities that lie in
rearions that will be forever Darren un
less brought under irrigation. Central
Oregon, now almost entirely arid, he
predicts, again will some day be the
finest agricultural section in the entire
United States. Other states also nave
large areas, now useless for farm pur
poses, which can be Drought under cui
tivatlon once water is available. Cen
tral Oregon and most of the other res-ion
ha has in mind are of such vast
extent that their reclamation will cost
many millions and the undertaking, in
his oDlnion. is so stupendous that pri
vate capital will not essay it, especially
in view of the many recent failures of
private irrigation projects. The Gov
ernment alone can reclaim these lands,
Just how best to raise $100,000,000
Secretary Lane has not yet determined.
He is favorably impressed with Senator
Borah's bill, which proposes an addi
tional loan of $30,000,000 on the same
terms under which Congress two years
ago authorized a loan of $20,000,000 to
the reclamation fund, but the Secretary
thinks S30.000.000 is entirely Inadequate.
He wants the full $100,000,000. If the
Borah plan is not feasible, he thinks
a bond issue or some other means
should be devised. The Secretary desires
to have this money made available dur.
lng the coming session and hopes to
avoid a postponement.
$20,000,000 Fund Intact.
Secretary Lane says that none of the
$20,000,000 loan authorized two years
ago has yet been actually expended, but
he intends to see that a large proportion
of that fund is expended next year and
the rest will be used as rapidly as good
construction on worthy projects will
permit. All of that $20,000,000 has been
allotted, but some of the allotments may
be changed, for the Secretary is dis
posed to go ahead only with those pre J
ects that are most promising.
However, $20,000,000 in addition to
funds now in the reclamation fund and
that will come in from land sales and
returns from settlers, will amount to
only $35,000,000 for the next four years.
and this, the Secretary finds, is only
half enough to complete all existing
projects.
Secretary Lane wants not only to
complete existing projects, but to take
up several worthy and promising proj
ects not yet formally approved, and.it
is for this and for some drainage work
that he will urge another loan of $100,
000,000. He believes he may have dlf.
ficulty in persuading Congress to act.
Dut he proposes to educate the Eastern
public and Eastern men in Congress,
believing that once they appreciate
what irrigation is doing in the West
and what it will do for the entire coun
try, they will raise the money on some
terms which will guarantee its ultimate
return to the Treasury. He will not ask
ror a direct appropriation.

Napoleon by the allies virtually re
suited in the liberation of Germany,
there was dedicated today one of the
most Imposing battle monuments in the
world. The ceremonies were notable
even in this year of historic anniversa
ries in Germany.
The sovereigns of Austria, Russia and
Sweden, the nations that fought with
Prussia to break the power of Napo
leon In Germanic Europe, sent their
personal representatives and all the
federated Princes and Mayors of the
German Empire were present. Their
host is King Frederick August III of
Saxony, sixth in line of direct descent
from that King Frederick August
who fought with Napoleon against the
allies: whose troops deserted to the al
lies on the decisive day and who hlm-
seir, vainly appealing for terms, was
taken to Berlin and kept a virtual pris
oner for three years.
The structure dedicated is today by
far the largest and highest in Europe.

The fight had then raged for six
days between the Austrlans, Prus
sians, Russians and Swedes on the one
side and the French, aided by the Sax

when the deciding day came. On the
following day Napoleon abandoned the
contest leaving behind 78.000 of his
army of 180.000 men. 15.000- of them
dead. The allies, at a loss of 61.000
from a total stfength of about 800,000,
had made Germany free from foreia-n
domination to the banks of the Rhine.

year by Ernst Moritz Arndt and found
support from a number of prominent
Germans and from a Russian diplomat.
An organization was formed at Leipsic
to keep alive the memory of the battle,
but a King in captivity furnished
grounds for abandoning the movement

to time in tne succeeding years and In

The transaction also ended the en
gagement of her daughter, Louise, to
Theodore Welk, a broker.
Mrs. Roberts spoke of the arrest as
a mere annoyance which would be
remedied by a $10,000 remittance from
her husband, but detectives found In
stead a letter from Roberts, a furnace
man In a mine smelter at Douglas,
Ariz., who wrote:
"Quit pretending and let's economize.
I am living in a back alley. Enclosed
you will find $23. all I can send."
Mra Roberts said her father was the
