Fear is expressed by mem bers of the Oregon delegation that the state may suffer a severe setback and even lose the money for a new reclamation project provided by the bill now pending in the senate as a consequence of local differences growing out of the Bend Commer cial club opposition to Benham Falls reservoir. Representative Sinnott told of the un usual effort which finally resulted in securing the adoption of a new project. MEANT HARD WORK Oregon being the only state in which this was granted, he said he hoped the local controversy can be settled without reflex action which would injure Ore gon's interests. "A new Oregon project was secured this year by Senators Chamberlain and McXary and myself, assisted by Rep resentatives McArthur and Hawley," continued Representative Sinnott. "Se lection of the project was made by Di rector Davis of the reclamation service. It was secured only after a stiff fight, after regular appropriation estimates were made up. This is rather an un precedented thing." "The reclamation service was reluct ant to send in new estimates, saying it would be embarrassing before the com mittee as all available funds had been estimated for. worm stop fight "I appealed to Chairman Good of the appropriations committee after having seen Secretary Payne and the acting director of the reclamation service. Mr. Good told me to tell Director Davis to send in alternative estimates, which was done, Mr. Davis selecting Deschutes as the project where the money should be expended."- "I hope all controversy or complica tions will be settled, for I am very ap prehensive that the reclamation service will permit the appropriation to lapse back to the reclamation fund rather than entangle itself in any loca1! controversy." Sinnott saidhe expects to consult Di rector ravis and ascertain his views tomorrow, Davis being out of the city today. Ford Continues to Gain in Recount Washington, Jan. 22. (U. P.)
