TRAVELLING MEN Aid
STRICKEN COMRADE

A fitting Christmas incident occurred
in Portland last week, when travelling
statesmen Of that city completed fund
for the aid Of A. p. Bradbury, a for.
mer knight of the road, who used TO
visit Hood River and who is we'll
known here. Mr.. Bradbury has been a
hopeless cripple for a number Of years.
Bradbury had been a travelling sales
man for rs years. He had covered
every nook and corner of Oregon and
his friends are legion. On many occa-
sions in recent years his fellow drum
mers had helped him with his grips in
making his rounds.
There is a feature of romance and
heroism tinged with pathos in the ca
reer Of A. p. Bradbury. Exposure to
the elements during the Heppner food
nearly l2 years ago. when Brad
saved severaI persons from being swept
away in the terrible deluge brought on
stroke of paralysis. The salesman
never recovered from the physical
shock and bis strength has failed him
steadily since. He retired from the
road about two years ago.
1t was an article in the Journal
which first attracted the attention of
the travelling men to the unfortunate
condition of their brother. l.. ]. Wat
son was amongtthe first to conceive the
idea Of aiding their old friend. The
officers of the Bradbury association
are: Ben Ettleson, of M. Seller & Co.

Geo. /. Slocom and who used to live
here; r. A. Duncan, Pacific Coast Syr-
up Co. Sol M. Harris, M. Seller &

SINN0TT WORKS FOR
RECLAMATION FUND

Representative Sinnott last Thursday
began his fight to compel the Interior
Departmental expend $3.50, 900 allotted
by Secretary Lane for cooperative work
in Oregon. The irrigation committee,
of which he is member. began a
hearing on the bills making sppropria-
tions to carry.on government reclsma-
tion work during the fiscal year begin
ming July !. 1915.
Several officials Off the reclamation
service were before the committee, and
Mr.. Slnnott endeavored TO ascertain
from them why the Interior Department
is unwilling to expend money already
allotted unless the state makes fur
ther appropriation.
He told them'the state in good faith
had appropriated and expended $3.50, 900
in building the Tumalo project and as
serted it was the general understand
ingiin Oregon that the Interior De-
partment was obligated under its
agreement to spend like amount now.
Mr.. Sinnott requested the reclamation
officials. to. .bringl before the committee
copies Of correspondence between the
Interior Department and the state au-
thorities. Mr.. Sinnott said he would
obtain statements from state officials.
MIR. Sinnott also endesvored to clear
up misunderstanding that exists as
TO the per acre cost of building the
extension of the Tumalo project. Of
fetal estimates in Oregon show the
cost will be SAL to S43 per acre. Rec
lamation officials have asserted the cost
will be $50 an acre. As Secretary
Lanes recommendation stands con-
gress is asked to appropriate $3.50, 900
for cooperative work in Oregon "con-
ditioned upon the appropriation of an
equal amount by the state of Oregon. "
II this phraseology is used in the rec
amation bill Mr.. Sinnott realizes that
the amount made available for the gov.
eminent for cooperative work cannot
be expended until the state makes an
other appropriation, and he will use
every endeavor to prevent any such
limitation being imposed. He will en-
deavor to have the language changed
so as to require the reclamation service
to expend S450,000 either in building
an extension to the Tumalo project or
in building some other project in east
ern Oregon.
