Whllo this Is not final, inasmuch as tho fiscal year doos not begin un til July 1 and tho appropriations for various reclamation projects aro not finally ratified until shortly beforo that dato, It gives causo for great gratification. Other projects may complain that thoy aro getting slight ed and bring pressure to boar to get trio local appropriation cut down In their favor, but with duo Ylgllanco on tho part of tho representatives ot tho Klamath project tho appropriation will probably stand at the original flguro. Tliu appropriation would go a long way toward completing work now contemplated. It Is estimated that betterments In contemplation will cost about twlco tbo amount ot tho appropriation, or 12,500.000. Pno of tho Important extensions that will bo facilitated, It Is said, Is tho building of canals and laterals to carry water to tho fortllo reclaim ed lands of tho Tulo lake bed.
