Money! to ASSURED li U (ulJJJl lilivy NEWELL BACKS PROPOSAL Portland Representative of Cham ber of Commerce Finds Present Administration Willing to Act on Appropriation. GOVERNMENT ALLOTS S30.000. STATE CAFITOI. Salem, Or.. March 1. (Special.) Goverior West tonight received word from Secretary of the Interior Fisher that the Government has agreed to furnish the $50,000 necessary as its share in carrying out the Deschutes survey, the following telegram being received: "Allotment of $50,000 for Deschutes investigation by the Reclamation Service in co-operation with the state has been made by the President to carry out the co-operative contract with the State Engineer under the legislative act approved February 21, was executed by me February 27 and mailed to the State Engineer for execution by him." Federal appropriations for both the Deschutes 'irrigation and power de ' velopment project and the West Uma tilla Irrigation enterprise will be set islde for immediate use before the pres ent Administration goes out of office on Tuesday In the opinion of Joseph N. Teal, attorney for the Chamber of Com merce, who returned yesterday from the National capital, where he con ferred with Government officials on these subjects. "I saw Secretary Fisher," said Mr. Teal, "as well as others In the Interior Department, including Mr. Newell, head of the Reclamation Service. They were much pleased over the passage by the Oregon Legislature of the bill providing for a Joint survey with the Federal authorities Of tho headwaters of the Deschutes. "Mr. Fisher, in my presence, gave positive instructions to have funds made available for this purpose by the President so that we can proceed with the work. It is certain that unless ' something unforseen prevents, the money will be appropriated before Mr. Taft goes out of office on March 4." Newell Makes Plea. Upon Mr. Teal's return to his office yesterday he received the following let ter from F. H. Newell, director of the Reclamation Service, relating to this subject: "In accordance with our conversation on February 21 and 22, I have wired to Mr. Hopson to consult the state of ficials and submit at the earliest prac ticable date plans for- taking up the work on the Deschutes Basin. I have also drafted a letter for the Secretary's Ignature asking the President to set aside $50,000 to meet the co-operation with Oregon. "I wish to express to you, and through you to others, the great satis faction in the success of your efforts, as these will have value, not merely to Oregon, but as an extremely valuable precedent In co-operation with the other states. It is only through ef fective co-operation with state and National agencies that the largest de velopment of the West is practicable. Up to the present time, these have tended to pull apart and there has been Ignorance or misapprehension of the opportunities and duties, so that there is apparent neglect of these opportuni ties. By coming together in some prac tical form of co-operation, far larger results can be attained than by each acting alone." Commercial Representatives Coming. "I also took up," said Mr. Teal, "the West -Umatilla extension. I was as sured that it will be pushed to early completion. The only thing now in the way Is to check up me contracts made by the land holders. I would view with much apprehension any delay in hav ing the order for this work made. It is almost certain, though, that it will be authorized before the present Ad ministration ends,''.- ! Mrj Teal said, that . the directors of the Chambers of Commerce of the United States, of which he is one. will hold a series of meetings In Pacific Coast cities in July of this year. They will visit Portland. SERVICE BEGINS MARCH 9 Klectric Trains on Mount Hood Di vision Are Announced.

I have been compelled by my landlord to give up my store in the' Northwest Bldg., on Washington St., and this trouble has brought about a condition which com pelled me to dispose of my other branch store locations.

SEVERAL OFFENDERS CITED Ambulances Declared Frequent Vio lators When Xo Emergency" Ex ists and. Curb Uas Been Put On Police' Patrol Driver. Some sort of check upon the speed of vehicles In public service is likely to be the outcome of protests coming; from drivers of other vehicles and from pedestrians, as the result of an alleged abuse of the exemptions which they are granted. That fire, police and am bulance vehicles presume .upon the lat itude allowed them is a frequent charge and the protestants, assert that many times the drivers go" shrieking through the streets when there is no occasion for haste. Under the present traffio ordinance all such vehicles, as well as United States mail wagons, are exempted from all provisions of the ordinance when responding to emergency calls, and no objection is offered when the emer gency truly exists. Frequently, how ever, the, cars are operated at highspeed when, it Is asserted, a slower gait would serve all purposes. - Check to this practice already has been applied by the police department and the patrol auto is equipped with, a Iocked-in register, beyond the control of the driver, which records the speed made by the car at all times. Every excess must be accounted for by tb. driver, and when It is possible to ob tain an order in advance he must have the sanction of the station captain be fore traveling above the maximum rate imposed on other vehicles. Similar restrictions are placed on fire apparatus and the cars In that service are not intended to exceed the maximum except when responding to alarms. - No like restriction exists In the ambulance service, and the drinn of these machines are said to be the worst offenders, driving at high speed in cases which do not demand imme diate action.

S-.- .r , -a 4 is. A, - 4.v-v . 1 S iiiii.pii'mii.i' I V t . i is. f f . i Everett A. Johnson. After a copy of Attorney-Gen-. eral Wlckersham's acceptance of the resignation of. United States Attorney McCourt had been placed In the bands of United -States; Judge Bean- yesterday, morning, the latter complimented Everett A. Johnson.- one of the retiring; officer's assistants, by appointing him to succeed to that office until such -time as Presi dent Wilson shall have appointed a successor. Mr. Johnson is bnt 31 years old, and has been a member of the Oregon bar for three years. Pre viously he lived in Pendleton, where he studied law, and which town he left for Washington, D.

MAP SHOWS LAND WANTED Cost of New Tracts and Extension of Present Plats, . as Considered, Estimated at $1,577000 by Superintendent Mische. vo that the voters of Portland may know Just what it is Intended to do with the proposed bond Issue of $2, 000,000 for park purposes, Superintend ent Mische has prepared a-statement, accompanied by a map, showing the districts in which It Is proposed to make park extensions and improvements, and to what extent. . - . The estimated cost of proposed land purchases is 1. 677.000, leaving $423,000 for development purposes. The tracts under consideration, with the prices at which they may be bought, are as fol lows: North of East stark street, - five tracts, 200 acres. 845,000; south of East Stark street, six tracts, 325 acres, S624.. 000 ; Parkway extension. 90 acres, $70, 000; extensions on .existing properties, 1 acres. J 38,000. - In drawing the plana,' Superintendent Mische has considered the probability that the river will become a main ar tery of traffic with large park usage on its surface and shores. No proposal of the present pro gramme duplicates what may in future become the property of the city or be usable as an integral part of the park system. Wherever acreage property is rightly situated and fits into the gen eral scheme it has been preferred to lot property in making the plans. One of the points determined by the planB is a plan to secure the greatest possible acreage at low cost, as against making less provision In . acreage but increasing present serviceability by lo cating sites closer to the more densely populated districts. Large areas further afield, also park way connections, are presupposed a part of the plan to be carried out at some future time. Cotton Valued at 4)500,000 Burns. LITTLE" ROCK, Ark.; March 1.

OPPORTUNITY IS SEEN TIME TO BID FOB TOURISTS IS NOW, SAYS J. O. FRIENDLY. Travelers Somewhat Dissatisfied With California Will See Good In. Oregon,' Is Assertion. No better opportunity to make a strong and successful movement to at tract tourists to Oregon has been of fered than is afforded for. the coming year. In the opinion of J. C. Friendly, who returned this week from a five weeks' trip in Southern California. "This has been an off year for South ern California in almost every way," he says, "and tourists who have been there, many of them this Winter for the first time, are not entirely satisfied with the conditions they have met. It may look like profiting by the misfor tunes of our nelgnpors. put ir Oregon will now make a determined bid for the May and June tourist travel up from Southern California, we will be able to present to the Eastern visitors attrac tions which will hold them and draw them back to us again next year and these attractions will seem all the more delightful to them by contrast with the unpleasant conditions they have en countered in the South. "Oregon needs just one thing to place it far enough in advance of California as a tourist paradise to leave our Southern sister out of the running. That one thing is good roads. We need not only to build good roads, but to see that they are maintained at their very best from year to year. The trou ble with the Oregon road is that w. build it and then never pay any more attention to it, and it finally degener ates into something worse than no road at all. "In business conditions,, in cost of living and in nearly every other respect, I found Oregon in better condition than the state south of us," he says. A peacemaker should also begin at home, although he may have to go to the divorce court later. FULL OF GAS? GOT INDIGESTION? HERE'S A CURE. Time It!
