West extension debate weighs four million state irrigation plan
The article discusses supporters of a West extension for government irrigation, arguing four million dollars would be spent in state, Oregon could lose reneval funds if abandoned, and governmental irrigation is superior to private. It notes upper river rights adjudication continues regardless, settlers near Umatilla would be repaid, and Andrew C Smith seeks flood-water filings to preserve claims if the project ends.

Umatilla Extension Backed At Oregon Theatre Meeting

United States Attorney John McCourt also favored the extension, though he did not claim full knowledge of details. I B E Davis, a former reclamation service engineer, opened the defense for the extension with data from government sources.
