sent the claims for reclamation for
Oregon before the budget committee,
Senator Charles L. McNary was in
Vale Wednesday afternoon for a
few hours. He was given facts and
figures of the proposal presented by
the district to the reclamation ser
vice and was taken by officers of
the district over parts of it to obtain
some understanding of its physical
character.
Senator McNary expressed himself
a being very well pleased with the
district and its prospects for success
as an enlarged federal project. The
remarkable economic reasons for its
further development such as soil and
and climate proper altitude and the
transportation facilities impressed
him as conditions which should carry
a reat deal of weight with the re
clamation department officials.
Senator McNary had practically
nothing to say about politics on this
trip.
“ I have come to Vale to find out
how 1 can best assist you people in
securing what you want,” said Sen-
aloe McNary, “ I am sorry my time
is so limited I cannot sec all of my
old friends in this distreit. You may
