Riparian Rights and Eattcmonts, Ob
tained AVlion Extension Seemed
Sure, WW Ho Forfeited It Year
Goes By.
Encouraged by the news from
Washington, D. 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.

WOUNDED OFFICER RECOVERS.
Seriously Injured ly Convict at Burns
Recently.
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. . Richardson finally got hie re-

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
