WILL WORK TO
EXTEND PROJECT
COMMITTEE MET AND
DISCUSSED SITUATION
Talks Show Preference for Govern
sment Reclamation Over Private En-
terprise-Will Invite Ballinger to
Visit Project.

With committeeman present from
the west end Of the county and from
Pendleton a spirited and interested
meeting was held in the Commercial
club rooms last night and the subject
OF how to induce the government to
proceed with the extension of the
Umatilla project was discussed pro
and con. It was finally decided to
invite Secretary Ballinger to visit the
project and the proposed extension
and Congressman w. R. Ellis will as
sumo that task. If the secretary can
not visit the project than a committee
is to be named to call upon him in
Portland or at some other point in the
northwest. The committee is to be
named later by DR.. c. j Smith. chair
man.
At the committee meeting DIR. C. ].
Smith presided and many aside from
members of the committee were in at
tendance. Among those present from
the west end were F. B. SwayZe and
]. W. Campbell of Hermiston; D. C.
Brownell of Umatilla and Mr.. Wal
pole of Irrigon.
At the opening of the session Con-
} gresham Ellis made an extended talk
in which he explained much regard
ing the status of the proposed extern
sion. He took a very hopeful view Of
/ the matter and said that both Presi-
( dent Taft and Secretary Ballinger had
assured him Oregon would be fairly
! treated in the matter or further rec
/ lamation work. In the view of Judge
/ Ellis the situation at present is prac-
/ tically up to the board of army engi-
neers. Regarding the proposition of
/ the government turning the extern
sion over to private parties, Judge
/ Ellis predicted the government would
move very slowly should any such
step as that be proposed.
Discussing the subject of govern
ment versus private development of
the extension, F. B. Swayze held that
| at this time the government is pref
cradle for the reason that people have
no knowledge of the forces back of
the private company that is seeking to
obtain control of the project. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Swayze he might favor
private development If he knew who
was to do the work and that they had
the money. However, he desired tc
"be shown" This sentiment was shar.
ed by others present.
During the session talks were made
by all members of the committee ant
by others present. Most of the dis
cussions related to the best means o.
placing the proposition before the sec

S. ACRES A DAY

Probably the greatest number OF
acres of wheat ever harvested in one
day in Umatilla county were harvest
ed yesterday on the reservation ranch
of John Crow by his combine har-
vester and caterpillar" engine. Ac-
cording to B. F. Trombly, machinist
for the Pendleton Auto company who
spent yesterday at the Grove ranch,
a total of 65 acres of wheat were cut,
threshed and sacked by the Grove
outfit.
Trombley reclares that the cater
pillar is the greatest Innovation for
the big grain growers the county has
ever seen and when it is remembered
that 25 acres is considered big days

would seem that the new machine
has a pretty good chance to become
popular.
There are now three of these ma
chimes operating in the vicinity Of
Pendleton. Dave Nelson purchased
the first one. John Grove the sec
