C, that Oregon's sen atorial delegation, will Join in urging President Taft to make changes in the allotment of $20,000,000 for irri gation, so that Oregon can get 12, 925,000 for reclamation work, in stead of the 925,000 apportioned, members of the Portland Commercial club and Oregon Development league eem to feel certain the Oregon ap propriation will be swelled, says the Journal, . George F. Johnson, chairman of the promotion committee of the Port land Commercial club, said today that prospects for an additional appropria tion seemed bright. Not only did Mr. Johnson and other members of the committee telegraph to President Taft, urging him to change the allot ment, but sent dispatches to J. J. Hill, head of the Hill system; Howard .1 Hntt nresldent of the Northern Pa clflc railway, and Judge Lovett, head of tho Harrlman system. That delay will be fatal to the west extension of the Umatilla project, for ,iv, ih mlflltlonal S2.000.000 is nuked. Is one of the strongest argu mcnts advanced by business men of Portland and Oregon. They assert that even a year's delay would mean the forfeiture of thousands of aoi tars' worth of riparian rights and ease ments obtained when the project seemed assured. "Two erroneous Impressions have gone abroad regarding the Umatilla project," said Mr. Johnson. "One Is that fh board of army engineers re- ii th nroiect. As a matter of fact, each member of the board ap tiroved and favored the scheme. With the army board it was a question of money; there was not enough to go around: so they cut Oregon short. "Then it has been erroneously giv- m.t that h Umatilla project, or properly the west end of the project, i. a. new work, and m therefore, held .. . . l.iklilnn V. n up because me law prumunius starting of any new reclamation schemes applies to It. In truth, the project In question Is merely an ex tension of the project now under way. ;retm-m of I'malllla Plan. "The Umatilla project Is one of the greatest and moBt Important In the country. By the expenditure of 12. 000,000. land worth 112,000.000. which is now being held by the government, will be turned over to the public. Not only will the land Immediately under the west extension te affected, but about 40,000 acres on the high lands of the Columbia river basin, and pos sibly about 300.000 acres In the John Day section might Inter be put under water. "The money appropriated for recla mation In Oregon would do no more than about complete the Klamath ana Malheur projects nnd would leave the west extension of the Umatilla project abandoned. "We have heard some objection to the building of a dam for the Umatil la project, covering about 6000 acres of land. The objection was made on thy grounds that many of the set tlers that hold land In the basin would he driven from their homes. Little of the land In the basin where the pro posed dam would go Is tlllnble. People do not seem to realize that the dam would help to protect Portland and much country on the Columbia nnd Willamette rivers from the June floods which ai often threaten. "Wo believe it most Important that work on the wcbI end of the Umatilla project proceed with all possible ra . pldltjK The project would be of Im ' measurable benefit to Portland and to all Oregon. Produce from the Uma tilla section conies Into the market from two to three weeks before that from other regions. That Is a great advantage. "Promises of help have come from every side. J. J. Hill has promised to help, and from Judge Lovett, head of tho Harrlman systems, we have word thnt we may depend upon his aid. We have received much encouragement from all sides, and I believe we feel Justified in saying that we believe that tho president will do as we ask."

TRAVELED AS MAN AND WIFE TOO SOON A locomotive fireman by name of Richard Webster, working on the Un ion Pacific, and Miss Mabel Pugmire, started on a Journey on a pass in favor of "Richard Webster and wife," and lunded In Jail in Omaha for violating the anti-pass clause of the railroad law. They were not yet man and wife but had eloped with tho intention of establishing that relation as soon as possible, relying on the speed of a railroad train to help things along. A train auditor caused the arrest. The young woman's father happened to be in Omaha at the time, and assented to the union of the couple, but they have yet to effect an adjustment with the federal authorities. renter AlGiiandor Deri Our Annual Clearance and White Sale Now in full Blast is Great Success.

Almost fully recovered from a gun shot wound inflicted by Jim Tannum desperate Indian prisoner, at Burns, Ore., which for a time It was feared would cost his life, Dan Ackley, trav eling guard of the Idaho penitentiary, returned to Boise Saturday to resume his duties, He wtnt to his ranch near Nampa to spend Christmas with his family, and. will return to noise to dnv. The onlv bad result from the wound which now affects Mr. Ackley Is that he tires easily, and for a time of necessity his work cannot be of uch strenuous order as he has been compelled at times during his 17 years of service to the state to perform. Tt was on November 30 last that Mr. Ackley reached Burns, Ore., to bring back to the Idaho penitentiary tho half-breed Tannum, who wae ar rested by Sheriff Richardson of Har ney county. Tannum had some time previous escaped from the Idaho prison, where he was sent from Wash ington county for horsestealing. Guard Ackley was leaning over to put an "'Oregon boot" on the prisoner when Tannum like a flash drew the officer's revolver from the exposed holster and fired at Sheriff Richard son, narrowly missing his head. As Ackley leaped up to grarple with him Tannum shot him through the abdo men. .

New York democrats, as well as lead ers of other states said they did not understand the anti-Johnson part of It, for the reason that ex-Mayor John son of Cleveland, sorely 111 at the time ! and against the advice of his physi cians, got out of bod in the' recent campaign in Ohio to speak for Gov ernor Harmon and that Governor Harmon personally thanked him fT his act.
