CM SAVES DAY
FOR RECLAMATION BILL
CROWDS MANY FACTS I.TO.
EIGHT MINUTE SPEECH
, Oregon Congressman Rebukes East
ern Members For Misrepresenting
Reclamation Measure,
Popular Hejiimer Couple Married At
Portland
Washington, D.C.June 15 (Spe
cial to the Herald) Niels Sinnott of
Oregon saved the day for Reclama
tion at the Republican conference on,
the Soldier Compensation Bill. In
ejght minutes of boiled devm data on
this subject he gave the eastern mem
bers a liberal education on the pos-
rlities of irrigation in the West
Ih changed vote after vote. The
rfult was that the reclamation pro
visions were retained in the bill as it
;was adopted by the conference and
passed the House.
) Sinnott's speech which is regarded
as one of the finest specimens of
terse argumentation heard here dur
ing the present sssion of congress
was as follows:
? "There is no legislation, Mjr. Chalr
, man, that has Been before the House
; for years that is more defensible
than the land provisions of this Soid
'? ier bill. It is defensible both from
; an economic, sentimental and patrl
j otic stand point.
; "From an economic stand point
J it is defensible because it will in
, crease crop production and -add to
the wealth of the Nation. Defensible
i from the sentimental and patriotic
1 Etand point because the boys who
fought across the waters to defend
their home land are justly entitled
to an opportunity tp secure a piece
of that very home land they so brave
ly defended.
"No legislation before Congress for
years has been so misrepresented as
this land legislation. It has been
sneered at, hacked at, and stigmat
ized as a Western arid desert land
scheme as a Southern swamp land
scheme,
Word has reached Heppner from
Portland of the marriage in, the Rose

little, well known and popular couple

or of one of the Christian churches
of Portland.
After spending a week or two in
Portland Mr. and Mrs. Doolittle will

The Board of Directors of the John
Day Irrigation district met in Hepp
ner today to complete arrangements
for beginning active work on, the
project. The original cooperative
survey and printed report prepared
by the State In cooperation with the
United States was based upon n low
line canal parsing through the Con
lee back of Arlington to the Cnrty
reservoir site and covering land be
low the 700 ft. contour. This nport
however suggest possibilities of a
high line canal to rover lunds as high
a the 1000 ft. contour or even to
1500 ft ln elevation.
As the district was voted to In
clude this high land, no further pro
gress ci.n be made until plans and
estimate of cont have been prepared
for the Irrigation of this high land.

Saturday was a bis day In Hepp
ner e.nd the Farmers'- picnic which
had been, arranged by a joint com
mittee of the Farmers' Union, the
Farm Bureau and the Henpner Com
mercial Club, was voted an unquall
fled success by the several hundred
people who gathered at the Morrow
County Fair grounds and spent the
day ln a good, old-fashioned get-to
gether time.
There was a little of most every
thing on the program calculated to
make the occasion worth while. Tho
City Band was present and discours- ,
ed much fine music thereby advertis
ing the fact that Heppner at l.'st ha$
a band organization, worthy of the
name. Prof. Austin, v.ho has been
In charge of tho band and has watch
ed It grow from nothing to an excel
lent musical organization, received
many compliments on the program
given by his "boys".
At noon a wonderful feast was
spread In the exhibition hall and If
anybody went away hungry it must
have been their own' fault There
was toothsome eatables served cafe
teria style and everybody prlvlledged
to help hlms'elf until satisfied.
After dinner the grcwd repaired
to the pavilion where Oscar Keith
ley, president of the Morrow County
Farm Bureau, called the meeting to
order and acted as chairman, of tho
Interesting and instructive session
which followed.
The first speaker Introduced was
F. A. Glkes, of the Farmers Union of
this state and the gentleman made
soiMe telling points ln his address.
Speaking of tho term "radical", so
frequently used in these days, the
speaker defined the term as "one
who thinks", saying t'jat no man can
ever become a radical, that Is, a pro
testor against the existing order of
things, without first doing some
thinking. Helening incidentally to
tho Non-Partisan League, In North
Dakota, and the soviet in Hussla, tho
speaker disclaimed endorsement of
all the things these organization)
stand for but expressed the belief
that the things they are striving for
will prove better than the old order
of things against which they rebel
led.
V. M. Ballard, who has charge of
Kami Bureau work in eastern Oregon
followed Mr. Hikes going into tin)
history of the Farm Bureau from it
Inception In New York Slate seveunl
years ago and, following down tho
line, showed what the bureau ha al
ready accomplished In helping to de
velop the farming and live stork In

E. K. Favelle, editor of (he West

with a most Interesting add rem on
