sixty thousand more acres of land
H. Umatilla and Morrow counties are
t. be reclaimed by the government,
according to a dispatch from Wash
ington. The land is included in what
is known as the West Umatilla pro-

from the present project.
The dispatch says that Secretary
Ballinger. after giving careful con-

has come to the conclusion that Ore
gen is entitled TO share in the distri-
button of the s20,0OO,0OO irrigation
fund made available by congress, just
before adjournment, and it now seems
quite likely that extension of the
Umatilla project westward with a
view to irrigating 60. 900 acres more,
/ will be authorized, and that part of
this fund will be allotted to begin
construction.
Personally the secretary believes
! Oregon should be shown considera-

heaviest contributor to the reclama-
tion fund. and has never been given

make an allotment for the Umatilla
extension and in case the report OF
the Army Engineer Board is favorable

will recommend to the president that
the west side Umatilla project be
built. 1t is estimated to cost $2'55O,-

is authorized to carry the work

to this time the Umatilla project has
not been regarded with particular fa-
