Washington.— Senator Lane, of
gon, appeared before Secretary of the
Interior Lane and put in a bid for
allotment of money from the reclama
tion fund sufficient for the construc
tion o f the W est Umatilla and
chutes irrigation projects.
He
only demonstrated the equity of Ore
gon’s claim against the reclamation
fond, but pointed out the feasibility
| sad desirability o f both projects, and
j then showed Secretary Lane where
funds could be found ample to build
| these two projects,

tary Lane, who told him hts was the

Captain James Keating, one of tba

a launch at Astoria and was drowned.
He was 40 years old, and had resided
ln Astoria practically all of his Ilfs.
Attorney General Crawford has giv
en out an opinion at Salem to the
effect that the signature of any signer
to a referendum petition may be with
drawn at any time prior to the taking
o f official action thereon.
Officials of the O.-W R. A N. have
announced the surveys o f two propos

Gilliam county and Pilot Rock to
Ukiah ln Umatilla county. The for
mer extension would involve 20 miles
o f track, and the latter 45 miles. The
officials say that If the expense is not
too great, both lines will be built.
Under direction of government o ffi
