Sinnott Wins Battle For Fair Treat
ment to Oregdii in Parti
tion of Federal Aid
WASHINGTON, March 26. The
federal appropriation for reclama
tion, work in Oregon this year is the
greatest in the history of" the. state,
according to Chairman Nicholas Sin
nott, chairman of the house commit
tee on public lands.
More than $2,000,000 will he
available for various irrigation pro
jects at the beginning of the fiscal
year on July 1, and Congressman
Sinnott believes that for the next fis
cal year the appropriation will be
even greater.
Oregon's greater participation In
the federal reclamation fund is
largely due to the fighting qualities
of the chairman of the public lands
committee. He not only has fought
for greater appropriations for Ore
gon, but for the whole reclamation
service. He refused to consent to
the passage of any oil leasing bill
until it contained a provision that
70 per cent of the government's
share received from past oil produc
tion should be transferred to the
oil fund, and that 52 per cent
should be turned over to the recla
mation fund from the government
share of all future oil development.
When the senate committee agreed
to Mr. Sinnott's proposition, it end
ed a long fight that permitted the
passage of the oil leasing bill, and
at the same time released funds to
the reclamation service totalling
millions of dollars.
When Sinnott returned early in
November last year, from Oregon,
he found that in the estimates for
reclamation projects for this year,
there was no provision for any new
reclamation projects in Oregon, de-

gin the Benham Falls dam provid
ing for one of the reservoirs for
this project. Ultimately this project
will call for from $10,000,000 to
$13,000,000 and the reclamation of
200,000 acres of fertile Oregon soil.
Chairman Sinnott said that in addi
tion to the $400,000 for the Des
chutes project, $467,000 had been
provided tor the Umatilla project.
"This will provide," said Chair
man Sinnott, "for the beginning of
the construction of the reservoir on
McKay creek, a tributary of the Um
atilla river. It is expected, that this
work will cost $225,000. It is also
proposed t build some pipe lines,
and to line some of the canals which
will cost something like $110,000,
according to the reclamation servicet
estimates. The other amounts will
be utilized for the correction of
seepage and for the operation and
maintenance of the project.
"I am certain that the real prog
ress of reclamation of lands in Ore
gon is now under way,"said Mr. Sin
nott, "and I feel certain that there
will be uninterrupted progrpss. I do
not think that conditions will ever
revert to those indicated . in my
statement in December to the com
mittee on appropriations when I said
"Under these estimates the state of
Idaho will receive $4,205,000; $2,
33 5,000 of that relating to the Amer
ican falls reservoir; Idaho has con
tributed to the reclamation fund a
little over $6,000,000, and has al
ready received $23,000,000. The
state of Montana under these esti
mates is to receiv e$2,942,000; It
has already received $15,000,000,
and has paid into the reclamation
fund $13,000,000. The state of
Washington will receive $3,133,000;
it has already received $14,000,000
plus, and has paid into the reclama
tion funds, $7,000,000. The state of
Wyoming under these estimates Is
to receive $3,534,000; the state of
Wyoming has contributed to the
reclamation fund the figures are
all up to June, 30, 1919, and are
taken from the last annual report
$5,897,300, and has received already
$11,339,315.24. The state of Oregon
under these estimates Is to receive
$1,680,000, and the state of Oregon
has contributed to the reclamation
fund, $11,165,112.62, and has been
allotted, up to June 30, 1919, $5,
813,912.67. In view of this discrim
ination it seems to me that Oregon
should receive better treatment than
it Is contemplated A have It receive
under these estimates. Since that
time, of course, $400,000 estimate
has been had for the Deschutes pro
ject, making a total appropriation
for Oregon reclamation of $2,080,
000. I look for constructive and
practical development of reclama
tion projects all through the state of
Oregon as rapidly as the funds are
available, and I believe now there
can be no interruption because of
the funds from the oil leasing bill,
which will always supplement the
reclamation, being repaid from pro
jects to make sufficient working
capital to carry on the various pro
jects to completion.
(Editorial in The Oregonian)
Spring came to Heppner the other
day. She showed a very neat ankle,
indeed, as she vaulted the pasture
fence, violet-eyed and trillium-laden
and tiptoed to the domicile of Harry
Cummings, hard and philosopher
of the Morrow county metropolis.
Through an open window she sang
so dearly that Mr. Cummings. poet
though he is, mistook her melodies
for bird-song, and paused in his
morning shave. He knew, none bet
ter, the obligation that a great gift
carries, and forthwith pounced upon
ins trus-ty typewriter in an interpre
tative mood.
And thus sang Harry, happily, we
may assume, to the peck-peck-pwk
of the keys and the Klysian twit
terings and roundelays that rippled
infrom the orchard:
The poets of all ages have wrote a
lot of rhyme
Of the many things that come to us,
with the coming of sprintime;
The long and dreary winter, tha'
fills us all with gloom,
Has given wayto the beautiful flow
ers that are bursting in bloom.
The birds of many species do so
sweetly sing,
They fill the air with cheer, and
make us know that it is spring.
Now, it is the common or garden
custom of poets to touch only such
topics as are already beautified, fait
flowers and fleecy clouds, and dew
and diadems, but it is for the gifted
few to show us the glory of simple
things, of common, humdrum, matter-of-fact
mundane miracles in, the
back yard. How well the Heppner
laureate smites his lyre is best por
trayed by the ensuing verse per
haps which brightens the old axi
om that there's no place like home,
though eggs are a trifle unstable:
The fowls in the barn-lot, with their
combs so bright and red,
Are laying a lot of eggs if they am
fairly fed.
Old bossy-cow is lowing, she is con
tented and happy now,
She does more than her part be
good to bossy-cow.
The pigs are loudly squealing; it
takes a lot of feed
To satisfy their hunger and slop
their ravenous greed.
There's a compendium of the
Pierian and the practical that surely
lilte.l sweetly to the attentive ear of
spring a cral-pink ear, like the
bljsh on an almond bud. Yet as she
cried approval, folk in Heppner said
one to another, "I do believe that's
a meadow lark!" As though the
silver shout of the vested singer
could bi, confused with that of any
other bird! The very idea! as they
say in Boston, with an accent and
an "r" on the last syllable. But Mr.
Cummings was sailing home with his
argosy of springtide, and he unload
ed the third stanza as a champion
stenographer flecks off a please
remit:
The farmer is so busy now, his land
he has to plow,
And plant a great big garden it Is
time to do it now.
We soon can go fishing and catch
the s peckled trout ;
We will have a jolly time, it will do
us soon to get out.
Indeed, it will, Mr. Cummings, It
will do us a vast amount of good to
stride or linger in the sun, and let
thi fly settle ever so reut.iy on a
dark pool, and glimpse the glory of
a rlitng ramoow, ana eat an cgp
sandwich and otherwise jommomnr

timeiy the Heppner bard's rythmical
foiutiienl may be that he had
paused with this line, andlaken an
other one, played his hunch, and
gone fishing. The logic of his claim
that it was almost an opportune
moment to strike forth afield is ap
pealing. And without designing to be
critical, yet indicating it as the sin
gle fault in an otherwise flawless
ode, we arise to inquire, why Mr.
Cummings had to inject politics. He
sings in finale:
There is much we should be thank
ful for, we should strive to
rightly live:
And to those that are less fortunate.
those that cart should freely
give.
Of all the many blessings, the one
that makes me want to shout,
Is that Harding is our president,
that Wilson has been put out.
Yet there is a great diversity of
tastes in Heppner and elsewhere.
And it is not unlikely that the con
cluding sentiment will appeal to
many with more Insistence than
those preceding lines anent the
speckled trout. Happy Heppner, in
that its laureate is hoth a realistic
raconteur of nature and a staunch
republican.
