THE . STTJTDAX OHEGOXULN", TOTlTULST, OCTOBER . 25, 1914. 9 T CAUSE OF OREGON S1NNQT PiOS Representative Fights Contin uously for Fair Deal for State Water Laws. MANY OF HIS ACTS TOLD Rightful Share of Reclamation Fnnd Sought for Commonwealth and Much Beneficial legisla tion Is Promoted.' ORE GONI AN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington, Oct. 24. Fair treatment for the State of Oregon under the reclamation act, and under other laws applicable to the West, has been the constant demand of Representative N. J. Sinnott, of the Second Congressional District. Had he had cordial support from the Oregon Senators, and had Senators Chamber lain and Lane expended the same amount of energy displayed by the Eastern Oregon Representative, section 8 of the reclamation act might have been restored to that statute this ses sion. As it was, Mr. Sinnott waged a lone fight to restore to the bill this im portant provision, that was eliminated several years ago, in the presence of Senator Chamberlain, and without a word of protest from the Oregon Sena tors. Section 9 required that not less than 61 per cent of the moneys contributed by a state to the reclamation fund be expended In that state. When Con gress passed the $20,000,000 reclama tion loan bill, section 9 was repealed, and today there is no legal requirement that Oregon money be spent on Oregon projects. Mr. Sinnott Aids Settlers. As a member of the public lands and Irrigation committees. Representative Sinnott has been able to promote con siderable legislation of interest to Ore gon. He was active in perfecting the reclamation extension bill, passed this session, under which settlers on Gov ernment projects are allowed 20 years, instead of 10, in which to pay water, and under which they are exempted from p'ayments during their first five years of residence on Government projects. On that committee, also, Mr. Sinnott endeavored to get action on a bill au thorizing an additional loan to the reclamation fund, in order that the Gov ernment may proceed with the entire West Umatilla project, and also enter upon a project along the Deschutes River, or in some other favored local ity in Eastern Oregon. A year ago last May, when Secre tary Lane was holding extensive hear ings to acquaint himself with condi tions on the Government reclamation " projects, Mr. Sinnott attended the hearings, and on May 14 addressed the Secretary, pointing out past discrimlna' . tlons against Oregon in the allotment of reclamation funds. Shortly afterwards Secretary Lane made the first allotment for the con struction of the first unit of the West Umatilla extension. On Mr. Slnnott's recommendation Secretary Lane granted a postpone ment or payments oy water users on the Klamath, and Umatilla reclamation projects. - . Power Project Backed. Later Representative Sinnott had several conferences with Secretary Lane and with the Chief of Army En gineers and following these conferences Secretary Lane designated an engineer of the reclamation service, and General Kingman designated an Army engineer to co-operate with the State Engineer of Oregon in investigating the feasibil ity of the contemplated 300,000-horse-power project near The Dalles. Another bill of Mr. Sinnott's which passed the House, and is now on the Senate calendar, neglected when Sen ator Chamberlain returned to Oregon, amends the enlarged homestead law so as to permit homesteaders who entered 160 acres to enter an additional 160 acres. If their lands lie in a section designated for entry. Baker's Cause Aided. ' Mr. Sinnott secured the passage through the House of a Senate bill granting Baker City a tract of land in a forest reserve, to protect its water supply. When the river and harbor bill was killed by the Senate filibuster, and a lump appropriation of $20,000,000 au thorized, Mr. Sinnott went directly to the Secretary of War, Impressed upon him the necessity for the early comple tion of the Celilo Canal, and the Sec retary promptly allotted to the Celilo Canal the full amount carried by the original river and harbor bill, $525,000. At the special session of Congress during the Summer of 1913 Mr. Sinnott made a number of notable speeches in opposition to the Democratic tariff re vision. Only recently Mr. Sinnott spoke against and voted against the Demo cratic deficiency tax bill. When the repeal of free tolls was proposed. Mr. Sinnott went to the front In opposition to the, Administration. WATER USERS' TIME CUT 14 DAYS LESS THAN" SIX MONTHS CITES TO ACCEPT NEW ACT. extension act was given by Secretary X.ane on September 24. Six months from that date would be March 24. and water users have expected to file their acceptances of the act before that time. Letter From Controller of Reclama tion Service Received at Xorth 1 aklma Canses Protest, NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Oct. 24. (Special.) Although the act of Con gress extending to 20 years the period of payment of construction charges on Government reclamation projects de clares that water users shall have six months from the time of public notice by the Secretary of the Interior to file their acceptance of the act. they will be required to make their filings before March 1. 1915. 24 days within the six months, according to notice received yesterday by the reclamation service here from W. A. Ryan, controller of the service. Water users who fail to file their ac ceptances by March 1 will not secure the privileges of the extension act, ac cording to this letter. They will be required to pay the installment of their building charges falling due on March 1 under the old plan, and all charges on which they are delinquent, and. failing to do so. will forfeit their water rights and homestead entries. Reclamation officials here decline to comment on the letter, but. In obe dience to Mr. Ryan's request, took steps to give It the widest publicity among water users. Telegrams were sent by the officers of the Sunnyside Water Users' Asso ciation yesterday to Senator Jones and the officials cf the reclamation serv ice at Washington protesting against the action threatened in Mr. Ryan's letter and asking explanation of it.

R. A. Booth. Repub lican nominee for United States Sena tor, and knowing that our city and our county and state will be greatly bene fited by having a man of Mr. Booth's ability. Integrity and honor in the United States Senate, hereby Join our selves together for the purpose of form ing a Booth Club, the purpose of which is to assist In placing our friend in the office to which he has been nominated. "We know Mr. Booth and know the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company, the or ganization which he founded, and we know that Mr. Booth and the company bearing his name have done more for the development of our city and county than any other individual or company In the state. We appreciate Mr. Booth's sterling worth and we resent the imputation of dishonesty that has been directed against him. "We have a Booth-Kelly sawmill lo cated in our city and through years of observation we have found the com pany interested In its employes and the communities where it operates. The company has paid the highest wages that could be paid consistent with lumbering conditions and has always provided its employes with the best possible conditions under which to work. - , "Kno wing that R.

It has been my observation through life that a boy who loves his mother and is good to her cannot do anything but what is right." Ella G. Metzger, of Dallas, urged the women of the audience to vote the straight Republican ticket and to ef fect a thorough organization.

As a specialist who has spent many years in the study and treatment of stomach troubles. I have been forced to the conclusion that most people who complain of stomach trouble possess stomachs that are absolutely healthy and normal. The real trouble, that which causes all the pain and difficulty. Is excessive acid in the stomach, ag gravated by food fermentation. Hyper acidity irritates the delicate lining of the stomach and food fermentation causes wind which distends the stom ach abnormally, causing that full bloated feeling. Thus both acid and fermentation interfere with and retard the process of digestion. The stomach is usually healthy and normal, but irri tated almost past endurance by these foreifm elements acid and wind. la all such cases and they comprise over 90 per cent of all stomach difficulties the first and only ste; necessary is to neutralize the acid and stop the fer mentation by takinir in a little warm or cold water immediately after eatinjr, from one to two teaspoonfuls of bisurated maenesia, which is doubtless the best and only really effective antacid and food corrective known. The acid will be neutralized and the fermentation stopped almost instantly, and your stomach will at once proceed to disrest the food in a healthy, normal manner. Be sure to ask your drugrsrist for the blsursted magnesia, a. I hura found other forms utterly lacking- in its peculiarly valuable properties. F. J. G. Adv.
