BEXHAM FALLS AXI) CRANE PRAIRIE SITES FEASIBLE Virtual assurance that both the Benham Falls and Crane Prairie res-1 ervoir sites will be available for de- j veUinment ia eontnineit In A wira Inst. : received by T. H. Foley, retiring pres ident of the Bend Commercial club, from Professor W. O. Crosby, head of the party of geologists who pur sued investigations here last summer for the reclamation service, says the Bend Bulletin. J "Reports nearing compl -tion ex-, petted to be optimistic as to both Benhara Falls and Crane Prairie," ; Professor Crosby wired. "For each i site a safe and stable dam, and a tight reservoir appear to be ec: nom-1 ically feasible. Latest boring sam- pies from Benham Falls not received but expected soon." I Professor Crosby's telegram was in response to one sent a week ago by Mr. Foley in which he asked that any information as to the future of! Oregon representatives would know what course of action to pursue at the State Irrigation Congress which convenes on January 8. The com pleteness of the reply, as well as the delay in sending it, indicate, Mr. Foley believe, that the answer was sanctioned by the reclamation ser vice. "We are now ready for tho second step," Mr. Foley stated this morning in commenting on the possibilities 1.00 opened up by the information l.St ! received from the geologist. "With 1.50 : a favorable report practically assur 1.60 i ed. we are in a position to ask gov 1.50 , ernment aid. By concentrating on this one project, great things can be done by the Oregon Irrigation Con gress this year in the way -of secur ing federal assistance." oik ELECTION TUESDAY BROUGHT A FAIR REPRESENTATION .Material for Dam le tter Than at Any Time Since Structure Started v John K. Grimes was elected as a director for the Ochoco Irrigation District Tuesday, the only other can didate being W. I. Dlshman, whose name was written In on 24 ballots by his friends, although he was never regularly nominated. Mr. Grimes received 31 votes, and four ballots were rejected as defec tive by the board. The work on the mammoth Ochoco Dam is progressing very weil d spite cold weather, and good yardage is being made. The supply of material is better than at any time since the structure was started, a pit of excellent mater ial having been opened up on the south side of the river in easy dis tance from the dam. Unless there is S'-vere cold weath er, nintv days work should see the project almost if not quite complet ed. DELTA PSI KAPPA AT O. A. C. CORVAM.IS Miss Helen Elkins of Prineville is a member of a group of women at the O. O. C. who have been granted a chapter of Delta Psi Kappa, a nat ional women's honorary physical edu cation fraternity. This fraternity is recognized as one of the leading organizations of its kind in the country and it Is hop ed that its establishment on the cam pus will do much toward increasing the interest of women's athletics at the college. Miss Edna A. Cocks, head of the physical education department Is a member of Delta Psi Kappa and has used her influence to secure the chap ter for the college. Oiher faculty members of the local chapter are Miss Isabelle Bovee. Miss Blanche MacClatchle, and Miss Ruth Wlniger. MAKING SURE OF BATTERY JAR PERFECTION "Some idea of the care us d in the construction of Willard Batterli a may be obtained from the 8 vere j electrical and mechanical t' sts whb h each jar has to pass before It can be come part of a Willard Battery," j says Mr. Mansveld, the local WiPard expert. Each one of these rubber jars has only to Btand a pressure of about 2 volts in actual s rvice, and j is carefully protected f om mechani- j cal shock. But before these J irs can , get by the electr cal Inspector, each one of them must prove its ability to stand up under a pressure of net a l few volts, but a full 24.000 volts; j and in order to make snre that each j piece of rubber is mecharlcally. Btrong, each lot. Is sampled and the. sample submitted to a tension of! 3,600 pounds to the s iiwe inch. Self-Appreciation.

Formal notice has been served on Germany by the United Slates In connection with the deposit at Paris of ratifications putting Into effect the treaty at Versailles, that con ditions of the armistice still govern re lations between the United States and Germany. Announcement of this action was made by the state department. Out lining the situation due to the fact that the United Slates hud not ratified the treaty, It said: "It is the position of ttls govern ment that the arnilmlco continues in full force and effect between the United States anil Germany, and ac cordingly the provisions of the armis tice agreement of November 11. 1918, as well as the provisions of the ex tensions of that agreement, remain binding on these to nations. "Notice of this rs given German government by the Slates." to the United BERGER IS AGAIN BARRED Milwaukee Socialist li Ousted Second Time By House. Washineton. Victor Merger, Mil waukee socialist reelected from the rifth Wisconsin congressional district after the house-hail refused him mem hership "because he gave aid and com fort to the enemy,'' was barred from taking his seat aain by a vote of 328 to 6. The house acted In a little more than an hour after Berger presented himself to be sworn In.

A Portland dispatch says: A new plan in railroad building In Oregon will come Into being should a bill now being drafted fur premu tation in the special l'-glslatlve ses sion, be passed by I he Oregon law makers. State cooperation if not state aid for tho Bend to Klamath Falls line, Is provided In the contem plated iiieaBuie, which would glvo the state highway commissioners power to construct a highway grade of suf ficient wldlh topermll of a standard railroad line being laid along one side without interfering with I bo use of the road by automobile or other traf fic. Appointment by tho governor of a non-salaried commission to make a full Investigation of the practica bility of laying a rail line from Bend to Klamath Falls. Including the de termination of construction and op erating costs, would be authorized. With this authority given to the state highway commission, and iho machinery of the separnle commis sion ready to operate, the ma n Idea back of the proposal could be worked out. and If found fensalile, put into effect. The development of Ihls idea In cludes the negotiation of an agree ment between the stale on the one hand and the O. W. R. & N. and the Oregon Trunk. On the olher, under which the rails now tuuis d between the Columbia main line and Bend up i the Deschutes canyon would be taken I up and relnid on the grade provided I between Bend and Klamath Falls, the entire line when filnally com pleted between Klamath Falls and 'the junction with the main line I tracks at the Columbia tt be under 'a common user between thn two op erating companies. It Is argued hv tho-e who are ! backing the plan, that th" cost to the state of widening the main highway between Bend and Klamath Falls, as the route has been 1 untod on the road map by the legislature, suffic iently to permit the construction of a rail lino along on side would bo rela tively small. lraitcally the e.itlre disinnce, It is pointod out, Is a lovol table land which would ropulra but few cuts or fills. It is argued also that tho long reaches of non-productive territory between Klamath Falls and Bond make It likely, if not practically cer tain, that neither of the two railroad systems will extend their lines for some time to coinn. In tho mean time, It is pointed out, the growing business of the Klamath country Is being gobbled up by California not withstanding tho natural desire of the people of the district to effect business connections in their own state. Fronting these conditions It Is arg ued that tho stato could well afford to furnish tho grade for the exten sion, particularly as It would at the same time he engaged In grading for thn state highway, provided that an agreement could be reached with the railroads to Join bands In laying the Mils and operating trains were the grade to bo furnlshod. H Is not contemplated by those back of tho scheme hat the stale would part with tit lo to the grade but that It would merely grant an easement over It, to be used under such terms and conditions and for such time mi might he determined by agreement between the railroad com panies and tho state. It is expected that, tentative fig ures on mill age, gradients and con struction costs, especially Inls far as these might effect the stale, will be assembled for presentation before the legislature for Its consideration in connection with tho proposed plan when It is laid before the session.
