FAINT HOPE FOR WATER
ON OWYHEE ARID LAND
Congress Must First Appro
priate Millions to Extend
Reclamation Work,
(Washington Bureau of The Journal.)
Washington, Jan. 20. Congressman
Sinnott is hopeful that something may
be done by the government in the way
of taking over the Owyhee irrigation
district and providing an otherwise
fertile and promising locality with
water, provided congress gives $100,
000,000 for extending the work of the
reclamation service. This, as Journal
readers may remember, is advocated
by Secretary of the Interior Lane, who
was greatly impressed, on his recent
visit to the northwest, with the splen
did possibilities for developing Oregon
lands.
Acting in behalf of his constituents,
Sinnott called recently on Controller
Ryan of the reclamation service and
placed before him the desires of the
settlers ins the Owyhee irrigation dis
trict for government aid. Ryan, who
is a western man, having been In tho
newspaper business In Washington and
California, expressed Interest In the
London, Jan. 20. Cold weather, to
gether with a lack of food, clothing
and shelter, is causing intense suffer
ing and distress among the refugees
whose homes were destroyed by Ser
vian troops in the mountain region of
Albania last October.
Men, women and children by scores
are dying of hunger and cold. The
population is helpless and for the des
titute refugees there is no relief in
sight,
Wtlliam W. Howard of New York,
who has just reached London on his
return from a Journey, partly on foot
through the devastated regions, of Al
bania, says 30,000 refugees, "mostly
women and children, are either starv
ing or freezing to death.
Winter Is Barer On.
These sufferers are in the Gashl and
Kraslcsi districts In northern Albania
and in the Goloborda district, middle
Albania, and the district- of lower
Iibra. All are. in high altitudes where
the, winter is severe. No help is reach
ing tlvesn people because of their re
moteness from the coast and the diffi
culties of travel. Mr. Howard esti
mates that there are 125.000 who need
food, clothing and shelter.
"At present," said Mr. Howard, "Al
bania is in a state of chaos, and civil
war between Essad Pasha and the pro
visional government Is In progress,
"Kssad Pasha is the self proclaimed
ruler of Middle Albania. His. avowed
purpose In this civil war is to get
control of all Ghegerla north and east
of the Shkumbl river. The last Infor
mation I have is that he is making
some progress. Dervish Bey is his
ablest lieutenant.
Hew Xing Holds Back.
"Prince Wied of Germany, who has
been selected by tho powers of Europe
as the king of Albania, seems to be
waiting for financial guarantee. Many
Albanians told me they did not want a
king to whom they must pay money.
They want a king who will brins
money into the country and develop
its resources. In my mind Prince
Wied will have a stormy time In Al
bania. 'My own solution of the Albanian
problem Is that the country should be
taken over by a committee of Ameri
can philanthropists and administered
on a common sense basis until such a
time as the Albanians are able to set
up a stable government for themselves.
"I went to Albania expecting to find j
savages. 1 round everywhere nothing

looked on the Owyhee project with
favor and suggested that in case con
gress should, in its wisdom, see fit to
adopt the suggestion of Secretary
Lane and appropriate 1100,000,000 for
the reclamation of arid lands, the de
partment would seriously consider
Congressman Sinnott' s request for
government action in the case of
Owyhee.
Ryan suggested that the parties In
terested should file with the secretary
cf the interior a petition setting forth
in detail the facts In the case, the
size of the farm units, the quantity of
government land embraced in the
project, and any other pertinent de
tails and arguments why the govern
ment should take it over. This, he
said, would give the project and peti
tion an advanced place on the depart
ment's docket.
