ABOUT SERVICE

HDUUI OLKVIUE
F. H. Newell, director of the United
States Reclamation Service, who has
been going the rounds with the Senate
irrigation committee and who spent
the day in Portland Monday in looking
after routine work, stated the appor-
tionments to the various states in
which reclamation projects are located
will be equalized by 1912, and that in
order to complete the process $4,000
900, the amount of the shortage in the
Oregon allotment, will be spent in rec
lamation projects in the state.
Two other states, California and New
Mexico, are also behind in their appor-
tionments for the ten years extending
from 1902 to 1912, but according to Di-
rector Newell, all appointments will
be equahzed by the end of the period.
In North Dakota and Oklahoma 1t is
stated there are no more feasible pro-
jects on which money can be spent,
and hence the funds will be held back
from those states.
From time to time, as the funds have
become available and as the prelimin-
airy Investigations of the several pro-
jects have shown their feasibility and
their practibility, the construction Of
the various works has been authorized
and the allotments therefore have been
made with a view to providing the
funds necessary to carry on the work
The annual additions to the fund be-
come available about. January / of
every year. Estimates of the fund
deemed necessary to carry out the
work of the projects are submitted by
the engineers of the servic5 and fin
ally a program is formulated and sub
mitted to the secretary Of the interior.
