TO INVESTIGATE PROJECT
Visit to Follow Land Board's Decision
to Allow Extension of Thirty Days
Salem. For the purpose of making

passed by the desert land board, when
the company was given 30 days' ex
tension of time on its contract with
the state, which expires April 1, State
Engineer Lewis left for Crook county
Monday.
Governor West contends that the
company's contract should not be ex
tended, but that a new One should be
made which would contain provisions
affording better protection to the in
terests of settlers than is furnished by
the present contract, which was exe
cuted under the old law regulating
Carey acts in this state.
He said that the commissioner of
the general land office, to whom ap
plication has been made by the board
for an extension of time on the state's
contract with the government for this
project, has indicated to him that the
etate should require more safeguards
placed about the settlers on the pro
ject before asking the government to
extend the state's contract.

NORTHWEST WHEAT
CROP WILL BE LARGE
Portland. The states of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho will produce a
bumper crop of wheat this year, and
unless all signs fail, the yield will be
a record-breaker. Experienced grain
men predict an out-turn of at least
70,000,000 bushels of this cereal in the
Pacific Northwest
These views are based on the re
markably fine condition of the winter
wheat crop in the three states. From
the date of planting to the present
time, all conditions of climate, soil and
moisture have been ideal. From every
point In the Northwest comes an uni
form report of perfect growing weath
er and fine stand.
The increase in acreage has been
more extensive than expected, averag
ing perhaps close to 10 pert cent
throughout the entire territory.
The northwest last year turned off
a wheat crop of about 56,000,000 bush
els. The record yield heretofore has
been 65,000,000 bushels.
This year the three states will come
tip to this latter figure and without
doubt will exceed it
Socialists Plan Recall.

lating recall petitions for Councilmen
Groeme and Leasure on the ground

gating water. Both the socialists

ty. The last refuge of the canvass back
duck in Oregon Wapato lake at Gas
ton Is to be drained and Oregon's
duck hunters will get few convass
back ducks in the future. Arrange
ments have been made to drain the
lake and use the land for farming pur
poses. If the recommendations of Adjutant

officers of every company in the state I

applicant for tobacco.
Seven counties have availed them
selves of the bill passed at the last

tension work. The state, under the
provisions of the measure, gives an
amount equal to that appropriated by
each county for the work.
The county court plans to set apart
a day on which every man and boy in
Linn county will work the roads. The
date will be some time In April. Ac
cording to plans business of all kinds

dent, irrespective of occupation or vo
cation, will be devoted to road work.
According to Douglas county nur
serymen, about 1500 acres of orchard

ciation at a meeting in Salem went on

legislation that will hamper the de
velopment of the state and indorsed
the movement to make Mrs. Abigail
Scott Duniway the western represen
tative on the honorary board of wo
men to represent the United States

lic land In Baker county, except that

ignated by the secretary of the inter

Twenty and One-Tenth Milei Made on One Gallon of 'Gas"
Twenty and one-tenth miles on one gallon of proline by a six-cylnder Huick car! That's
the mark that the Buick Motor Company may advertise to the world an an ollicial performance.
Not only did th Haick "Six" sot this remarkable economy mark on January 14, but the
Model B-25, under similar running conditions, made 22 7 miles per gallon, while a third ma
chine, a Model Vt 37, with no (iravity feed tank for the measured gallon of gasoline, made 17.07
miles. The later two models are (ours.

oon after the machines reached Jackson Park, where two-mile circuit at and near the laxe
shore was utilized for a tecting ground, the wind set in off the lake, the roadways became sheeted
in ice and the temperature fell to 32 degrees. The southwest wind, that blew ','3 miles an hour at
the start, shifted off the lake and became raw and cold, offering great resistance to the machines.
