OREGON NEWS NOTES
OF GENERALINTEREST
Events Occurring Throughout
the State During the Past
Week.
Water to Bt Lowered.
Klamath Fall. According to a let
ter received by President Mason of
the Lower Klamath Marsh Land Own
ers' association, from Representative
Sinnott, officials of the reclamation
service are drafting a form of bond,
upon the signing of which Instrument
the government will close the gates at
the railroad track, shutting the water
of Klamath straits out of Lower Kla
math lake, which will allow the recla
mation of much marsh land around
the lake by lowering the water level
The bond is to insure the government
against any damage actions that
might arise, and to protect the gov
ernment against any damage to the
water right of the Van Brimmer
ditch.
"Wets" and "Drys" Wags Campaign.
Salem. The most strenuous wet
and dry campaign ever carried oa In
Salem Is now being waged. Both sides
axe weU organised and until 10 days
ago it was conceded even by the sa
loon interests that the city would be
voted dry on November 4. but within
the last week the wets have perfected
their organization and now declare
they wiU win the election. It Is gen
erally conceded that the result of the
election rests largely with the women,
and both sides are centering their
campaign on them. The last time the
issue was presented in Salem, with
only the men voting, the city remained
vet by a very small majority.
Eight-Hour Law to Be Tested.
Salem. The state board of control
bas requested Labor Commissioner
O. P. Hoff to bring suit against the
board to test the question of whether
the eight-hour law applies to the em
ployes at state institutions. If the
courts should hold that it does apply
to the institutions, it Is stated that
no one of the institutions would hare
sufficient appropriation to carry It
through next year without a defi
ciency. The governor has said that it
might be necessary even to call a spe
cial session of the legislature to pro
ride for the emergency.
GIRL HAS GOOD ROAD PLAN
Fair Supervisor of Schools to Let the
Pupils Build Highway.
Eugene. Road-building, a course of
study for the rural schools of western
Lane county, is to be introduced with
in a few days by Miss Goldie Van
Biber, school supervisor in the Sim
la w district Instructions have been
mailed. This is the first experiment
of its kind ever tried In Oregon. Ac
tual road-building is the laboratory
work which will 'accompany this
course. The children of each district
will build and maintain during the
approaching rainy season a strip of
county road near the school building.
The school whose road stands the win
ter and is found In the best condition
will be the winner of a unique con
test in which school children on the
Siuslaw eagerly are awaiting to par
ticipate. County Uudge Helmus W. Thomp
son, Lane county's most active good
roads enthusiast, was so pleased with
this woman's plan to teach the funda
mentals of road building In the rural
schools that he immediately offered
two huge silver cups as prizes for this
good roads contest.
One Dead, One Hurt in Wreck.
Baker. One man was killed out
right, another was Blightly Injured and
two valuable race horses were hurt in
a wreck six miles north of Prairie
City on the Sumpter Valley railroad.
Robert S. Richardson of Baker was
killed when he jumped from an over
turning car which fell on him, and
William of John Day was in
jured.
Has Vision of Railroad.
Klamath Falls. There is every In
dication that the railroad from this
city to Merrill and from there to Fern
ly, Nev., will be built next summer.
There is also evidence that the road
to the north will be built to connect
with the Hill line coming south and
that both Harriman and Hill interests
will use the same line for the heavy
exposition travel.

nominated by the recall petitioners
bave signified their intentions of quali
fying and making the race against the

or and Mrs. Hopkins made an investi
gation. She says she learned that the Cress

son into the institution and had Induc
ed Stella Morgan, committed from Al
bany; Lula Smith, committed from

U. S. SEEKS NO AD
DITIONAL TERRITORY
Mobile, Ala, While avoiding any
mention specifically of Mexico or any
European influence connected with
the Mexican situation. President Wil
son delivered a speech here before the
Southern Commercial congress which
appeared to be freighted with signifi
cance and which served to point with
further directness the policy of the
United States not only toward Mexico,
but toward all Central and South
American republics.
A score of South American diplo
mats sat just behind the president
while he spoke and many of his re
marks were addressed In conversa
tional tones to them. The president
spoke only In general terms, but many
of his sentences were pointed with a
meaning bo clear as to leave little
doubt of their Intent.
The president's speech was uttered
with a confidence which bespoke the
dominant part the United States ex
pects to play in the future of the
American republics. Not through any
idea of "material interest," he care
fully explained, but through a love of
the people of constitutional liberty.
"The United States never again will
seek to obtain one additional foot of
territory by conquest," he declared,
amid applause.
