The Governor will ttrnd the meeting Saturday night and will explain his idea on this subject. These questions of finance are the principal ones confronting- the conven tion this year. Both Eastern and Cen tral Oregon seem determined to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion. Although the interests of the two sections of the state the eastern and the central are not always the same, perfect harmony seems to prevail. Asa n. Thompson Candidate. Asa B. Thompson, -of Echo, is the candidate of the Eastern Oregon dele gates for president of the Congress and he doubtless will have the solid backing of those from Central Oregon. In point of numbers the central part of the state had the advantage last night. Other delegates from east of the mountains who are expected to ar rive this morning probably will make representation from the two districts about even. Western Oregon has little represen tation. Some counties have no dele gate at all. There is no need for Irri tation in the western part of the state. Multnomah Nerds "Showing." And this latter fact Is one that some f the shrewd irrigators always bear In mind. Whenever a question of state wide bond issues or state appropria tions comes up, they impress upon the delegates that It will be necessary to convince the people of Multnomah County and of the Willamette Valley of the desirability of the expenditures. "Tou will have a hard time Impress ing people where they have too much water that we need more water." said O. Laurgaard, engineer lor the Tumalo project, yesterday. "That's the reason we have to bo absolutely sure of our plans." Definite Plan Sought. A situation that is giving the irriga tionists much encouragement is the promise of the Federal Government to expend dollar for dollar on every proj ect in co-operation with the state. Hence some definite financial pro f ntmtme, 13 uSht tor the Central Ore Son Irrigation Company's project.

'Therefore, be it resolved, that the Irrigation Congress recommend and urge earnestly the desert land board to have measurements made of the Central Oregon Irrigation Company's canals and laterals, and permit the company to collect maintenance from the land owners only in proportion to the amount of water that they can actually produce. "Be it further recommended that the next Legislature pass a law prohibiting nny irrigation company in the state 110111 collecting from any land owner maintenance for wator which they can not or will not produce." Several delegates from the interior part of the state have brought in fctories of lax methods employed by settlers" on irrigated lands and de flare that their practices in "culti vating" their property decidedly unjust and unfair to those locators who take tip the land in good faith and make a conscientious effort to develop it. To prevent such practices and keep the land out of speculators' hands, the Central Oregon delegates will attempt to have this resolution put through the congress tomorrow night: "Whereas, trre laxity of the dese land board's rules governing the ma irra oi resilience and cultivation nrennrnrinn fn, 1 , . . - , the Carey act projects obtaining ce tiricates of proof, has given rise to great deal of pretense and frau greatly to the detriment or the actu . . . . o me lotaiura anu me state Tumalo Project rleases.

Central Oregon delegates are pleased greatly over the successful develop ment of the Tumalo project which now is under way. Some of them expect to have the water ready for use early in the Spring of 1915. They declare that O. Laurgaard, the engineer in charge, is the "right man in the right place" and that he is doing the work effi ciently and economically. List of Delegates.

For Chapped, Blotchy, Red or Wrinkled Skin (From Family Physician.) Do you realize that just beneath that coarse, rough or discolored complexion there's an exquisitely beautiful skin of youthful tint and delicacy? If you could only bring this complexion to the sur face, discarding the old one! You can in the easiest, simplest, most natural manner imaginable. Just get an ouncj of ordinary mercollzed wax at any drug, store, apply nightly like cream, remov ing It mornings with warm water. Tho wax assists Nature by gradually taking off the lingering particles of dead and half-dead surface skin, causing no dis comfort whatever. Ordinarily it takes from a week to ten days to complete the transformation. Cutaneous defects like chaps, pimples, blotches, liver spots, moth patches, freckles, of course disap pear with the old skin. Nothing else that I know of will accomplish such wonderful results in so short a time. Fine lines and even the deeper wrin kles often appear at this season. in such cases nothing is better than a face bath made by dissolving 1 oz. powdered saxolite in . pt. witch fiazel. This is remarkably effective. Adv. Take a bottle home! Portland, Oregon.
