PI ETON, OREGON, MONDAY, JUNE 25, J900 NO. 5703 flu i mi i mi ' i ii fl bSiiiii , 1 1 Tm i B BOISE CONGRESS TO ASKFOR FUND Irrigators WW Ask for Direct Appropriation of $100,000 000. supply of ireclamation fund diminishing. Public Land Sulcs Fall Off and Sev eral Oovcrtintclit Irrigation Projects lUrve "Drawn Millions From the Trcasirry Boise Irrigation Congress Wli Dc "SUmnl the "Hundred Mil lion "Dollar Congress,'' Because of the Room It Will Start for Rig Ap prfipiittllixra. r A movement has nlready been start ed'to pass a resolution at the coming TCntlonal Irrigation Congress to be held In 'Boise City In September, ask ing congress fur an appropriation of $100,000,000 to supplement the recla mation fund which Is only derived from the sale of public lands. With this agitation In view the Boise congress Is to he known as the "Hun dred Million Dollar Congress," and many prominent Irrigation leaden? be lieve thnt sufficient pressure cwn be brought to bear upon the national leg islative body to secure such an ap propriation to further the wwrk of western Irrigation. It Is admitted that tbe work of Ir rigation must be handicapped more or less by the failure of the fund. Land sales are not so rapid ns thfy were when the fund was started mid sev eral millions have been drawn from the fund with which to start the va rious projects under way. The only source of supply for the reclamation fund l from the sale ft public land and the payments of apt tiers who purchase irrigation land on the Installment plan under the gov ernment projects. The drain on the reclamation fund Is out of all propor tion to the Income, and the work wm be stopped entirely within a few years unless something Is done to furnish resources for the reclamation depart ment. Whether the Pendleton and tJmntll la county delegates to the Boise con vention will favor such an appropri ation by congress Is not known as none of them hnve yet been appointed. Sentiment outside o( the Irrigated states will be emphatically against such a movement, but with the vast tracts of Idle lands and the numerous excellent streams tributary to mich tracts to be reclaimed. It Is possible that congress will swaktn to the Im portance and magnitude of the qucs-: tion Of government Irrigation and ap- proprlate the sum, despite eastern op-, position. PACIFIC COAST BASEBALL.
