WEST EXTENSION At
IRRIGATION MEETING
PROJECT WILL COME
UP FOR DISCUSSION
Congress at Portland Next Week VIII
Also Hear Discussion of Mariner
Plan for Diverting Waters of John
Day River,

Portland, Or. Feb. 17.-(Special.)- y
Just what will prove the greatest
point of interest in the forthcoming
irrigation congress, to be held at
Portland on Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of next week, is hard to
predict. The Umatilla project will
come in for a great deal of discussion.
Those who favor the movement and
an early development of the project,
members Of the association which is
opposed to taking water from the
Upper Umatilla river and the govern
ment officials who are anxious to get
all the light they can, will furnish
the oratory and arguments that will
produce at least one very live session.
What will happen when the
full discussion of the many Carey act
projects In under way will also be Of
great interest. Governor West will
talk for the state land board, State
Engineer Lewis will discuss the water
supply and officials of the private
companies that are promoting the
many carey act projects will be here
to explain their attitude in the prem
ises. 1t is the program to get united
action on the early completion of the
Umatilla project and make formal
demand, by resolution, for Oregon's
share of its contribution to the recla-
nation fund.
The request will also be made that
the government instruct the engineers
TO report as early as possible on the
best way of insuring an adequate sup
r.I,, oP yyater for the land on the lima
tilla site without injury to existing
rights. The Mariner plan to take the
water from the John Day river, and
in addition to the Umatilla lands, wa.
ter an additional 10000 acres OF

Gillian county will have its friends
there.
The many differences and opinions
and methods between the state land
board officials, the state engineers
office, the promoters of the many
Carey act projects of the state, the
settlers on the land and the users of
water will come up for a hearing and
several localities will be heard from
who claim they have grievances which
should be given statewide publicity
and remedies offered at once. The
feeling that the part of the state east
of the Cascade mountains is not Civ
en- legislation that meets its needs will
be brought up for the benefit of the
many member of the legislature who
will be present at the congress
Governor West will open the con-
gress and with him will be William
Hanley and the officials of the Ore
gon Development League. The rail-
roads having made an open rate of
one and one-third fares for the
round trip, tickets on sale February
IS and 10, return limit February 23,
the attendance of representatives from
all sections of the state will be
large.
"The final outcome of the conven-
ton" according to A. o. Hunter of
Bend, must be to produce definite
recommendations for legislation that
will protect the settler on the land,
that will provide some alternative for
carrying out the plans of the original
projectors, should they fail financial
ly, and to get for the settler the wa
ter without which the land would be
idle. The investor in the land must
be squally protected. This need is
statewide and applies equally to the
irrigation projects in the Willamette
valley as in the remote districts of
Central Oregon"

THREE MILLIONS IN
UNIQUE "LAUNDRY'
Insurance Company Irons Securities
Rescued from Equitable Vaults.

lnsufdHe SOInpdny IrOHS StCuTltts
Rescued from Equitable Vaults.
New York.-The staff of the Unit
ed States Life Insurance company has
just completed ten days job of wash
ing and ironing which was probably
without precedent in downtown New
York.
The wash which they hung on
lines strung across the vault of big
Wall street bank and then ironed out
carefully with electric irons, consist
ed of 5000 pieces of paper, represent
ing more than 100000.
The securities were salvaged from
the sub-cellar vaults of the burned
Equitable Building.
Thousands of gallons of water had
filtered through them while they lay
there, and the papers were soaked al
most to a pulp when removed from
their resting place.
I'VE tried to dry them with blot
ting paper" said Secretary Kenway
of the company, "and we blotted and
blotted away at the wet securities for
almost week, but the moisture re-
fused to come out. Then we ordered
a dozen electric fans and a half dozen
electric irons. When these were sent
down to our new vault we strung
ropes across the vault and hung the
5000 bond certificates out to dry in
the breeze from the fans. The certifi-
Gates were attached with regulation
wooden clothes pins. AS soon as each
paper was partially dry. one of us
spread it on an ironing board and
carefully ironed 1t out. About the
only thing we did not use that laun-
dry does was blueing and starch.
1.-The ironing Of 5000 pieces of
laundry isn't easy work. and we are
quite proud of the result, for not one
of the 1000 bonds is in the slightest
degree torn or damaged"
