WEST TELLS FISHER
OF WEST EXTENSION

Washington, Dec. 9.-The whole
history Of the controversy over the
west extension of the Umatilla pro-
ject was gone over yesterday by Gov
West. Senators Bourne and Chamber
land and ]. n. Teal, with Secretary OF
the Interior Fisher.
Governor West let the other gov
ernors go on to Baltimore, remaining
here to take part in presenting the
Umatilla matter to the interior de-
partment, in the hope that early ac-
ton might be induced. His efforts
however, are in the face of many
mysterious protests, prompted from
some unknown source, which persist
in bringing forward the John Day
project as a desirable alternative to
the extension of the Umatilla project
Protests Thought selfish.
Among the representatives of Ore
son here the belief is, so far as is
known, unanimous that some selfish
interest is responsible for the protests
and that the farmers joining in them
are being misled
An attempt will be made to discov-
er the reason for the mysteriou:
moves by those who prompt the pro.
tests.
Governor West gave an interview
in favor Of abolishing the commerce
court. He said he believed it wa:
created to cripple the Interstate Com.
mcrce commission, which was begin
ming TO become effective in solving
national transportation problems. h
said he believed that the court was
created for the purpose of favorine
the railroads.
Senator Chamberlain said he hoped
to be able to announce a favorable
report on the West Umatilla projec
as a Christmas present to the peo
PIE of oregon.
