COMMERCIAL CLUBS FORM C0UNTYWIDE FEDERATION Organization Meeting Will, be Held Next Thursday, Road Bonding Advocated. There is no money for the McKay creek project this year despite the fact $225,000 had been alloted for starting operations and though tne project was authorized when the sun dry civil bill was passfd on the clos ing day of the last congress. This news was made known here last evening by E. P. Dodd in a talk at the dinner given at the Klks club to representatives of the commercial clubs of the county. Mr. Dodd did not give details at the time but expressed deep regret over the lack of headway on the. project. In a phone Interview this mornlni? Project Engineer Schilling at Hermis- tnn confirmed Mr. Dodd's . report, j wing to financial conditions funds anticipated hy the reclamation service have not materialized. Jn May the al lotment for the McKay project was re duced from $225,000 to $125,000 and it now seems hopeless that even this amount will be forthcoming. Xo of ficial word has been received by .Mr. Schilling but in a letter to Mr. Dodd, A . P. Davis, head of the reclamation service, says he sees no hope of funds. At the present rime the project en gineer has no instructions to do any thing towards securing right of way for the reservoir' site und he has no idea when funds may be available. i However 'the project !s approved and it Is the supposition, the work will be carried out when money may be had.

Talks were made by virtually al' present and the prevailing spirit strongly favored a united effort in he half of the county through a federa tion of the clubs now in existence.

Practically the entire fre protective fore of he l-'matillu National Forest, totaling 26 men, including rangers, lookouts and patrol men, went on du ty today for service ffurimr the forest fire season, according to J. C. Kuh in. Umatilla forest supervisor. In addi tin. several ex-soldie,rs who are luting vocational training in forestry at the forestry school at Moscow, Idaho, will be stationed at various places in the forest during the summer months and will secure practical training in for est service work. j Pecause of the recent rains in tne Rlue Mountains, the acute danger of forest fires has been greatly lessened, 'according to Mr. Knhns. He is not anticipating that there will be, any ' great difficulty in controlling any fires I that may Mart. The greatest danger, I he states, is in the yellow- pine type of ! timber, which is oil the south slo) ?s and which dries out very quickly. 20 Fires l!eHiiiel. Although 2D small fires reported to dale from the have been 2 national forests of Oregon and w ashington, tne frequent rains this spring have been a boon to the forests, and the officers of the V. S. forest service are mm relieved at escaping so far a dang much ffer the; which always keeps them on anxious sent at this time of year. The quantity of snow in the high I country and the frequent rains at low I elevations have kept the forests too I damp to permit dangerous conditions I to become general, the rangers report. Are On Watch. The government foresters, however, do not consider that the absence of large forest fires to date is entirely due to favorable weather and timely rains. Not only is the airplane patrol in Oregon and Washington proving its value by spotting the stnokes while they me small, but the protective for- ces. both state and federal, are better organized this year to "swat" the tires. But what is more important, says Mr. K ihns, is that the public is becoming interested in forest pre- servation, and the oft-repented story of the destruction caused by human carelessness is beginning to make its impression.
