He lamented the fact that the yearly recommendations of Secretary Lane, "with hla broad vision and knowledge of the West" were pigeonholed by Congress anil his advice seemingly ignored. SIiiiioU'h remarks were made during the discussion by the House of the lieclumutlon Sections of the Sundry Civil Hill. He deplored the circumstances (bat the Appropri ations Committee had only recom mended the expenditure Of some "10.0(H) this year and that this was confined to existing projects, I inn in part : 'It does mm lo m thai this ad ministration ought to profit by the lUCCeai theretofore hud In the re clamation Of arid lauds and Hie operation ol thai not as conduct ad by the Reclamation Service.
