Secretary Returns TO Wash

OF Policies.
NO POWER SITES
HAVE BEEN GRABBED
While ON Long Trip looked Thor
Oughly Into Various Reclamation
PrOjccts-Is Ambitious TO Complete
Existing Projects With All Pos
slblc spocd-Money Needed for
This Purpose.

Washington, Oct. 27.-Secretary
Ballinger of the department of the
interior, who returned to Washington
last night after an extensive tour of
inspection of the public domain and
Interests in the far west under the
jurisdiction of his department, gave
out today a statement which Is re-
garded as declaration of his policy
as to these matters.
The statement is written in the
third person and takes up the varl-
Gus features OF the departments work
devoting particular attention to va
rious reclamation enterprises and es-
.pecially TO water power sites on the
public domain.
The secretary re,terates without
fear of contradiction" the statement
hitherto made in his behalf. that
since his incumbency no water power
sites on the public domain heretofore
withdrawn, have been secured by pri
vate parties and that he has energet-
ically made no effort, by temporary
Withdrawals, to segegate existing
power sites on the public domain, in
order to enable the congress to leg
islate for their more prudent DISPOSE
tion.
Secretary Ballinger states that dur
ing his trip, most of the principal
government reclamation projects
have been visited, some of them with
the senate committee on irrigation.
The water users and settlers upon
the reclamation projects have been
conferred with, as well as the gov
ernment officers in the field respect
ing existing projects and questions
which may involve the Improvement
of the service and the advancement
of the interests of the settlers"
Respecting reclamation work, the
studies made by the secretary have
inspired him. the statement says,
with an ambition to complete exist
ing projects as rapidly as business
projects as rapidly as business pru-
dence and moneys available will per-
NIT and he is earnestly i'm favor of
securing authority from congress for |
the issuance of bonds against the |
reclamation funds to give the service |
the means whereby all existing pro-
iects can be speedily completed and |
extensions undertaken"

this cannot all be done at once, but
we have assurances that If the people
Of this county and northern Grant
have sufficient interest IN the enter

no difficulty in disposing of bonds

is necessary is capital to make this

Umatilla Railway & Electric Com
pany's Scheme Means Additional
Factories for City and VIII Also
Make PendlctOn Center for Net
work of Electric Lines - Capital
Alone Now Needed.

Relative TO the project, known as
the Umatllla Railway Electric Pow
er company. Judge Stephen A. Low
ell stated to representative of this
paper this morning that the firm of
Lowell G. Winter had been attorneys
for the people interested in the en-
terprlse since its inception nearly two
years ago, and that the location of
the power site was made by Douglas
Belts, a r. Turner and George
Schlegel, well known citizens of the
southern part Of this county, with the
idea ip view of developing the coun-
try and furnishing an outlet for the
ores, timber. livestock and agricul-
tural products of southern Umatilla
and northern Grand counties. In
speaking today upon the subject,
Judge Lowell said:
"The water power was secured by
these gentlemen under the law per-
hitting appropriation for power pur-
poses. and their rights have been
kept alive, and work is now being
done by the company which has sue
ceeded to the rights of these indi-
viduals. preparatory TO the erection
Of power plant upon the John Day
river near the point of diversion.
The engineering work has been
done by John r. Whistler, whom all
the people of Umatilla county know
rs the man to whom the chief credit
for the east Umatilla irrigation pro-
iect IS due. and so well pleased is
Mr. Whistler's. firm with the outlook
that they have expressed a willing
ness to take their pay for the engi-
neering work performed by them in
stock in the company The concern
is out of debt and has secured a
large part of the rights of way for
its transmission lines and railroad
from Dale to Pendleton, besides pos
sessing its vested right under the law
in the power privileges upon the John
Day river.
"The plans Of the company are notJ
fully matured. but the probabilities
are that the first work will be done
in constructing an electric power plant !
and transmission line so as to bring !
electricity to Pilot Rock and PEN
dleton for manufacturing purposes, !
and this city is certainly interested, in (
cheap power, so that small factories /
ran be established. and this be n1EdHh
/ manufacturing center If this cana
be done the city will soon recover
from the depression which arises be- /
,ause Of the vast bonanza wheat
farms which surround it, and will go I
ahead rapidly until in another de-
'ade we ought to have twenty thou
sand people here, ,
Associated with the local people I
n this enterprise is Mr. George Ar
hur Brown of Portland, formerly .
'onnected with the Penn Mutual Life
company, a gentleman in
crested in the development of the
tate and who at the proper, time wtu .
'e able to interest capitalists to such
N extent as may be. necessary to
omplete the projects, s,s-h.,h 1.
Ultimately the company expects to
onstruct an electric line from the
Ohm Day river to Pendleton and
