In both essions he had charge of irrigation legislation, and piloted it through in excellent shape, part of it against heavy odds, notably the appropria tion of SLjO.OOO for the Tumalo pro-,1 ;ect. Hlnkle is also well known as one of the most active figure's in the Or egon Irrigation Congress, of which he was one of the organizing mem bers, the first secretary, several limes member of the excutive com mittee, and also a v ice-pre i ident, and finally president.
