B. Wilcox and J. N. Teal of this city will visit Washington, and in behalf of the commercial Interests of Portland they will use their Influence In support of the efforts of the Oregon delegation in congress to bring relief to the set tlers who have been patiently waiting for the government to make good its promise to reclaim the desert in that part of Oregon. - "All of the $20,000,000 reclamation fund his been allotted by the board of army engineers to various projects In the United States, and so- rar no one has been able to get a single allotment changed," said Mr. Wilcox. "Neverthe less nothing; will be aecompllshel unless an effort Is made, and I am willing to, do all I can to bring relief , to those set tlers. 1 understand many of their water rights expire the first of next March. , Mr. Wilcox - said it seemed a scheme that portions of the J20, 000,000 reclama tion fund should be tied up .waiting" for projects on which work- has never beflrl started when' the need for the 'complex tton of the west Umatilla project 1 .so urgent -. ; v ' "At the time the fund was allotted to various projects." said Mr. . Wilcox, "it was not apparent that the needs of the Umatilla project would be ' so much more urgent than some of the others to which funds were diverted, but this is now very plain to be seen. "I don't know what can .be -dona. I don't know that anything can be done. But 1 know that. we, want to make the effort It may be we will have to watt until Senator Borate gets, tnrough his bill for an additional $16,000,000 for the use of the reclamation department ifl ',' believe he carrying out of the west Umatilla project Is of. the greatest Importance to the city of Portland."
