Warm Praise is BeStowed
Upon Franklin K. Lane by

day and compllmenting the west-end
folk on the wonderful progress they
have made in the development Of
their project the members of the
house appropriations committee pass
ed through Pendleton last evening,
their next stop being at Caldwell,
Idaho.
The most delightful feature of tho
entertainment program yesterday con-
sisted in an open air luncheon given
on the immense lawn at the Newport
home. It was served by the ladies
OF the civic club and 1856 guests were
seated at the tables With a fore
ground and background composed OF
green fields, growing orchards and
well built bungalows the setting was
ideal for exempllfylng the progress.

They Like Secretary Lane.
The ears OF Secretary Of the lnte-
rior Franklin X. Lane had reason to
burn yesterday for he was a much
taiked-of man and It was all In
terms of praise. The sentiment as
expressed by the Hermiston spokes-
man. e. p. Dodd, was that he Is the
first and only secretary that has ever
understood the settler and brought
results to his door. It was declared
that II he should run for president

George Cressy. president of the wa
terusers' association, acted as toast
master at the luncheon and when it
came time for the committee to
speak Chairman Fitzgerald called up
on Congressman Mondell of Wyo-
ming, the only westerner on the COM
mittee, to respond,
In his reply Mr.. Mondell took oc-
caslon to differ with the settlers as
to the advlsablllty of the governments
establishing a telephone system upon
the project. He also opposed the
suggestion made previously by Mr..
Dodd that the residence clause in the
reclamation act should be altered.
He declared to alter that clause would
aid land sellers and spectators but
not the real settlers, He declared
that Notwithstanding appeals upon
the subject the residence clause would
not be repealed.
Committee Is Impartial.
Senator Harry Lane and Congress-
man slnnott were the only speakers
aside from Mr.. Mondell. Senator
Lane did not make an extended talk
but Mr.. Slnnott took occasion to say
that the handling Of the reclamation
subject by the appropriations COM
mlttee Is more likely to result in JUS
tIce to Oregon than would the hand
ling Of matters by the irrigation COM
mlttee, OF which he is member
and which committee he originally
wished to have Jurisdiction. He bas-
ed his view upon the fact the appro-
priatlon committee members being
mostly easterners are impartial in
regards to the western states, where
as the irrigation committee Is made
up largely Of westerners each anxious
to get something for his own district
Congressman Sinnott lauded the ap-
preparation committeeman for the
hard work they are doing on their
present tour OF inspection and pre-.
dlcted they will be fair to Oregon.

Bartley, deceased, for the recovery of ], 300 acres of tin mining property in the Port Clarence recording district Cf Alaska. The defendants are F. E. Ken dall, of Portland, Northwestern man. ager of the American Can Company; George W. Sanborn and Francis Cut ting, owners of the Sanborn Cutting Company, a salmon packing concern of Astoria; R. S. Norris, deputy United Statos marshal of Nome, and F. P. Cut ting, of San Francisco, president of the American Tin Mining Company. It is alleged that under the pretext of get ting money to equip the mines, Cusack and Bartley were induced to turn over their rights to F. F. Cutting, who was to act as trustee. According to the complaint, the plaintiffs were sent off to Alaska, and in their absence a stock corporation named the American Tin Company was organized, and the stock was assessed at a rate that caused them to lose their interests.
