APPROPRIATION FOR KLAMATH PROJECT SPLIT

By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7—An appropriation by congress of $713,000 for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1921, is asked for the Klamath reclamation project, compared with $289,000 received for current year expenditures.

For the Umatilla project $467,000 is asked, against $170,000 for the current year.

The Klamath Indian agency asks an appropriation of $5,750.

Apparently the million and a quarter recommended a few days ago, according to a message received by the local chamber of commerce from Senator McNary, has met with disapproval in some Washington bureau.

The appropriation asked is practically a 50 per cent cut from the appropriation which Senator McNary's message said had been recommended.
