That Oregon Is engaged In big bulnes Is evidenced from the fact that npproxlmatcly $46,000,000 will be handled by the state during 1921-22. This amount to about 10 times as much as the state handled 10 year ago and shows that business ha vastly grown In Importance during this period. A largo part of the Increase I oc casioned by tho state highway pro gram and tho workmen' compensa tion law. Tho state Industrial Insti tution alio take up a largo part of this amount. Tho highway and In dustrial accident department have been newly created within tho last 10 rears. The taxpayers of the state will havo to pay a little over 15f 000,000 of this amount by direct tax ation, or by levies authorized by popular vote above tho C per cent limit.

This In spite of the fact mat last Wednesday, after his letter bad been published In full, he was re auestlon by wire to stop dealing In innuendos, and to produce evidence In support of bis statement. A second request was wired Sena tor Upton today by II. W. Sawyer, who, with A. Whlsnant, Is a member of tho Commercial club Irrigation committee, as follows: "Jay H. Upton, "State House, Salem, Oro. "Am waiting for answer to my telegram. You have made charge that work Whlsnant and I are doing is actuated by hidden motive or that we arc controlled by some sinister in fluence. I demand that you pro duce evidence to support charge or withdraw iu In your own words. whoso I tho invisible hand'?

IRRIGATION STAND HAS SOLID SUPPORT Belief that the people of Bend are solidly behind tho Commercial club Irrigation policy expressed In the re quest for tho appointment of a com mission to study tho most efficient uses to which the water of tho Des chutes may be put Is voiced by Emll Pearl of tho Golden uuie store. .r.

MADRAS ANTAGONISTIC Conference At Ilrilmonil Hhow Aloofnet of Prlnrvlllo Drlcgatci Anil SHfl.ihne of .Vorth Unit, Cluh Member "Report. A movement supported by the Redmond Commercial club to turn over to tho control of tho U. S. Recla mation service the Irrigation program of Central Oregon, Insofar as It con cerns the Deschutes project, is to be Initiated, members of tho Irrigation committee of the Bend Commercial club reported at tho weekly club luncheon at the Pilot Butte Inn yes terday. A spirit of aloofness dis played by Prlneville citizens and a thinly veiled antagonism by Madras delegates toward any posslblo chango in the present program to water tho lands of tho North unit regardless of tho consequent perpetual aridity of much of the acreage In the other three units, is responsible for the adoption of this policy. These atti tudes were taken by Prlneville and Madras representatives who attend ed n conference held Tuesday night In Redmond, A. Whlsnant nnd R. w. Sawyer of tho club Irrigation com- mltteo stated. Madras Men Non-Conunlttal. Mr. Whlsnant pointed out that none of the directors of tho Nortji unit was present at the conference and the Jefferson county men who were In attendance were unwilling to commit themselves. They were un willing to leave the present sltnatlpn for something of which they were not absolutely sure, ho said. Coun ty Judgo N. O. Wallace of Prlneville, Mr. Whlsnant Bald, affirmed that the llorth unit could not back up on Its contract with the Portland bonding house which has taken over $75,000 of the district's bonds. Mr. Whls nant pointed out, however, that tho money secured from these bonds had been chletly used In surveys, which wnnld be eauallv valuable If the work were carried on by the reclamation service. j He reported that the Redmond rep resentatives are solidly with Bend. Mr. Sawyer declared that the Madras spirit constitutes the great est danger to Bend. Mndras dele gates, he said, showed clearly that they were for North unit irrigation first, last and all tho time, regard less of tho rest of tho project. The Jefferson county delegates, be said, were Inclined to doubt the figures submitted on the amount of water In the Deschutes river, secured from the state engineer, and also doubted the figures regarding tho water to, be asked for by the North unit. Thoy declined to answer when asked If thoy wanted to go ahead on tho pres ent program and leave out tho other units. If the matter Is left with State En gineer Percy A. Cupper, Deschutes county stands to lose, Mr. Sawyer pointed out, as that official Is al ready on record. Hnte Probe Promised. R. S. Hamilton denied that Bend is being actuated by any Bolflsh mo tive, emphasizing that lands nearer the Benham Falls storage reservoir are as much entitled to irrigation as thoso in Jefferson county. R. A. Ward of the freight rnto conrmlttee reported that tho public service commission has promised nn Immodlato Investigation of tho dif ferential which Is handicapping Cen tral Oregon In tho matter of shipping potntoes and hay to Wlllamotto vnl- iey points.
