reclamation Appropriation
Rill Carries Nothing for
New Work
ONLY HOPE NOW is
SMITH-M'NARY BILL
Yakima Project Given Mil
lion and Half for Rimrock
and Operation

With the reporting yesterday of the
interior department appropriation bill
the only hope of the early construc-
t;on Of the Kennewick Irrigation pro-
1T becomes the Smith, -McNary re-
el,mation bill now pending.
The original estimate of the recla-
nation service for the next fsical
var carried an item of 100000 for
construction work on some uncom-
pleted unit Of the U. S. Yakima pro-
;sct twas generally understood that
i available this money would be used
q start work on the Kennewick pro-
iect. If the bill as reported yesterday
81 the house appropriations commit
- this item is eliminated.
The bill carries an appropriation
Il 81 1000 for the Yakima project,
which is to provide for maintenance
and operation and continuing the stor-
see work at Rimrock. The total ap-
propriation recommended for recla-
mation projects is $14,211,000. This
i sS6O6S, 900 less than the amount ap-
propriated for the current fiscal year
and 81 900 less than the amount
requested by the interior department.
Reclamation workers are not relax
ing their efforts to push forward the
Smith-McNary bill and are hopeful
Of its early passage. Final action on
the bill, however, will probably be de-
hyed by the senate debate on the
treaties formulated by the disarma-
ment conference.
There is possibility that the strong
pressure which is being brought to
bear on congress for the enactment of
: bonus bill will hasten action on the
Smith -McNary measure. If the bon
w bill carries soldier land settle
ment feature or some measure SINH
lar to the Smith, McNary bill will be
necessary to provide the land.

Gordon MOOres to be Postmaster

suggestion of Mr.. Moores, requested
that the appointment be held up pend
ing personal investigation by the
civil service commission.
Early last month c. w. Paine and L.
G. Rowan came to Kennewick and in
vestigated the qualifications of the
nine applicants, calling in all more
than 30 witnesses.
As result of this investigation the
name of Mr.. Moores has again been
submitted to the senate for ratifica-
ton.
There is no definite information as
to how soon Mr.. Moores will receive
his commission but in view of the fact
that Postmaster Beavers who has pur-
chased the Finley store wishes to be
relieved the appointment will probab-
ly be rushed.
