"Owgnn is in position to derive great benefits under the reclamation bills R now in congress," says Will R. King, P chief counsel of the United States A reclamation service, who arrived at the Imperial yesterday. "There are three reclamation measures now pend ing; the Mondell measure, which also is known as the Lane bill; the Jones bill, which carries an appropriation of $250,000,000 and the Chamberlain Smith bill. Under any of these meas ures Oregon will be aided in its de velopment, but until the league of na- I rj tions matter is settled, there is no ' I prospect of these reclamation Dins being enacted. All legislation is being held up pending final action on the league of nations. "Oregon and Washington will obtain quicker action than other states from these reclamation programmes because j ixiese siaies are in position 10 co-operate with the federal government. Oregon's new law, by which the state guarantees the payment of interest on approved irrigation projects for the first five years and the Washington law by which Washington under writes the interest for the first four years, give these two states an ad vantage over others. Vast Area to Be Reclaimed. T venture to say that if the Chamberlain-Smith bill passes 1,000,000 acres will be reclaimed in Oregon in the next few years. Oregon has a vast amount of land to be re claimed, and in addition to irrigation, the measures also provide for re clamation of swamp and stump lands with which Oregon is bountifully sup plied. There must be about 1,000,000 acres of stump land in Oregon alone. "In my opinion the guarantee of in terest on bonds for the first five years will probably give Oregon the first recognition in the use of any of these funds now being considered by con gress, because of the provision for co operation between state and govern ment. "The Mondell bill is of especial Interest to the service men, whereas the Chamberlain-Smith bill gives the soldiers a preference, but does not exclude others. That important re clamation legislation will be enacted by congress is a certainty, but how scon this matter will be taken care of no one knows, because of interest being centered in the league of na tions, and all other subjects are rele gated to secondary position for the time "being." Polities Put Behind. Although at one time Judge King was keenly interested in politics, he says he is now completely out of touch with things of that sort. Judge King was democratic candidate for governor, has sought the democratic nomination for senator; came within an ace of being appointed by Presi dent Wilson to a cabinet position; has been the democratic national com mitteeman for Oregon; was manager for the northwestern end of the coun try in the first Wilson campaign; was appointed as an associate justice on the Oregon supreme bench; but not withstanding that record, he declares that political matters no longer oc cupy his attention. However, when the democratic national committee held a meeting in Chicago several . months ago. Judge King was there with a proxy for the Hawaiian islands. In his official capacity, Judge King has an office in the new postoffice building in Portland, but until yesterday he never saw it. Judge King is on a business trip and arrived in Portland from Boise, where he was looking after legal matters for the reclamation services in that section. The Judge still claims Ontario, Or., as his residence 5 Alien Faces and Gay Dress Enliven Apple Harvest. Sprinkling; From Four Qnartcrs of Globe Seen at Hood River. HOOD RIVER, Or, Oct. 18. (Spe cial.) While the major portion of those here engaged in the harvest of the big apple crop are good Ore gon families, presence of peoples from the four quarters of the globe makes the aggregation of apple pickers the most cosmopolitan ever seen in the valley. Attracted to the orchards of Hood River in the hope of learning methods applied in the production of the world's most far-famed apples, two young growers of Chile have been here engaged in all manner of har- I vest work. Seven young Tasmanian and New Zealand fruitgrowers, re turning to their orchard homes after several years of service in Belgium and France, have lingered here for the harvest eeason, that they may take back to the Antipodes the good points of the American way. A picking crew on the ranch of M. H. Hiil is composed exclusively of Filipinos. The little islanders, Mr. Hill says, make good apple pickers. And they get much enjoyment out of their work. Every one of the Fili pinos is a musician, and with ukuleles, banjos, violins and native instruments they give concerts that entertain the neighborhood. It is likely that nearly 1000 fem inine pickers are engaged in the har vest, many of thetn young women. The young women, the old, too, for that matter, wear, as a general rule, riding trousers. Many of the fair harvest hands affect gay-colored ban danas, or scarfs, attractively wound around their heads. Many of the young women seem Just ready for the chorus or the pony ballet.
