IS TITE SUNDAY OREGOXTAX. "PORTLAND, APRIL 10, 1921 RECLAMATION BILL TOTALS 5250,000,000 Measure to Be Introduced Into Next Congress. FINAL TOUCHES ARE GIVEN Clans on Preferential Rights of ex-Service Men Changed So as Xot to Ketard Development. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Washington. D. C. April 9. Most of the final touches Friday afternoon were placed on the. (250.000,000 west ern reclamation biJl which will be in troduced into the next congress next week. The final details were worked out at a conference between Senator Mc Karv and Representative Sinnott of Orreon. Representative Smith of Idaho and Will R. King, ex-chief counsel of the reclamation service. The bill was later submitted to E. P. Blaine of Seattle, representing the Northwest Irrigation congress, 'and James A. Ford, secretary of the apo kane chamber of commerce, both of whom approved It. Mr. Smith of Idaho appeared as spokesman for a special committee of house members, appointed some time ago to work with a similar com mittee of the senate, headed by Sen ator Mc.Nary. Idaho Asaeat la Given. The Idaho representative, who has been pressing a measure to include southern swamp-land drainage in the general programme with western dry-land reclamation, gave his assent to the new bill, which is exclusively ' for the west. One important chance made In the b'll yesterday was with rgeard to a provision which would have required anv district availing- Itself of the benefits of the proposed act to have SO ner cent of its lands subject to the preference right of entry to ex service men. It became apparent that this provision would limit develop ment in some states because there will be certain projects on which a great part of the land will be under private ownership. Veterans ts Get Preference. In such cases It would be difficult to meet such an exacting requirement as to preference rights for veterans. The provision was changed to read that in the case of all public lands, federal or state, and other surplus lands, ex-soldiers shall receive the preference right of entry. The bill also was made less rigid as to the amount of land to be signed away by the private owner of large holdings. Senators Jones of Washington and Smoot of Utah, who were members of the special commit tee headed by Senator McN'ary, will probably be called into conference to examine the measure and offer suggestions.

Clarence Pinkston of the Olympic club of San Francisco and holder of the world's high diving crown, added another title to his already long list of achievements when he captured the men's national fancy diving championship at the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club pool last night. With three champions in the per sons of Pinkston, Louis "Happy' Kuehn, world's fancy diving cham pion, and Clyde Swendsen, ex-holder of the national title, competing th meet was keenly contested through out. Kuehn. competing under the colors of the Oregon Agricultural college, won second honors; Swendsen of the Los Angeles Amateur Athletic club, third, and Jack Leger of the Broadway Natatorium. fourth. Eight Divers Are Entered. Three of the four judges who of ficated in the diving contest gave first place to the Olympic club diver, while the fourth judge awarded first honors to Kuehn. The placing figures tf ' the four judges when added to gether gave 1'inKston a, ivuenn Swendsen 11 and Leger 16, and Pink ston, with the lowest aggregate, was Judged the winner. Eight divers were entered in the meet. In addition to the four men tioned, there were Gurtin Carroll, Da vid Fall, Weldon Hyde and George Richardson, all juniors of the Mult nomah club. Considering their age and experience their showing was very creditable. The rules of the meet called for four compulsory dives and six vol untary dives. In the first four dives there was little to choose from In the work of the contestants, but in the six voluntary plunges the class of the four men who placed in the meet began to tell. The four compulsory dives were a straight front dive, back dive, front jackknife and back jack knife. I Divers Allowed to Select. In the other six plunges the divers were allowed to select their dives from a lengthy list. Pinkston chose as his six dives the one and one-half back, standing one and one-half gainor, running one and one-half gainer, back one and one-half cutoff two and one half running and stand ing one-half gainor. These are rated among the most difficult dives in competition and the San Francisco spring board expert ran through the entire list with high-class performance. Kuehn's list of dives followed closely that Pinkston, but, taking the all-around work of the latter, it was superior to that of the Oregon Aggie diver. Pink ston's approach, execution of dive an water entry on practically all of his plunges were beautiful pieces of work. ' The Judges of the diving meet were Harry Fischer, Frank E. Harmer, S. A. Smoot and Phil Patterson. The events of the city swim cham pionship races, which were held in conjunction with the diving meet, were also keenly contested.
