In other words, I,aue now says, n offoot,, that tho dollar-for-dollar bnMn upon which tho Fodoral aovorntnoit offered the money was not sudlslont- ly aatlsflsd by the Tumalo appropria tion. Howavor, this stand is reck oned grossly unfair by all familiar with the situation. It being maintain ed that tho state fulfilled Us nart f flee bargain In making the Tumalo impropriation.

"The Department of tho Interior sot opart $450,000 for co operative work thon contemplated !n Oregon.

"Tho wholo (KimriB n nutshell Is Ihnt tho Department at Washington Is protty hard up and wants to get out of this obligation by contending that Oregon must donato another $460,000 If she Is to get tho benefit of the $450,000 already set asldo by tho Government for oxpendlturo in Oregon," said C.
