AGITATION STARTED
AT ALBUQUERQUE
Promoters of irrigation Projects
Would Have Residential Clause
Stricken Out Would Have Devel
opment Only Requirement for De
livery of Water.
At the National Irrigation congress
at Albuquerque was begun agitation
which may lead to the removal of the
residence restriction attached by the
government to the delivery of water
through Its schemes of national irri
gation, and the substitution therefor
of a requirement of a specified
amount of development according to
Col. J. F. McXaught of Hermlston,
Umatilla county's only representative
at the congress who visited here yes
terday while on his way to his home.
"The removal of the residence re
striction was taken up by the con
gress." sail Col. McXaught, "especial
ly In committee meetings, and while
but little was accomplished toward
that end, we have hopes of getting
& more favorable hearing at the Spo
kane congress next year.
"At Albuquerque the government
had a host of its own men to act as
apologists and they were always "on
the Job." The administration was ex
pecting the bitter attack made on
Chief Forester Plnchot with the result
that it had men on the outlook for
anything that savored of a criticism
of Its methods and those things were
promptly choked off wherever possible
A Successful
WEDDING
Is impossible without the help
of a Jewelry store.
Try to think what such an
affair would be without the
presents.
Try to imagine a ringless,
gifiless wedding.
It's unthinkable.
So you would find it hard to
get along without US at such
a time.
We have a great big, inter
esting array of gift matt-rials.
And the b.auty of it is that
the majority of thorn are any
thing but expensive.
We suggest Cut Glass or
Silverware or some dainty ar
ticle of China.
Call and t ike a good look
through.

"This force was eo itrong in the
convention that only the most general
resolutions were passed by the body,
the committee on resolutions being
overwhelmed when it presented its
report
"It was unfortunate that such a
condition existed. More particularly
as the stand of the government was
taken to protect the forest service,
which had been I believe, unjustly at
tacked and the result was that some
of the most Important features' of Ir
rigation consideration were killed.
"We did sow the seed, however, and
If the secretary of the Interior does
not change the present ruling before
next congress, which It Is quite pos
sible he may do, we will take up the
fight again In that city for a removal
of that restriction Is of great Import
ance In the development of the Her
mlston valley and the other similar
projects."
