upon by the board. $60,000 to be ex
act, which waa to be paid to the con
tractor as a final amount for all ad
justments, the money to he delivered
as work progressed on the project.
tThis offer wss promptly refused by
the contractor.
It Is neither wise nor fair for any
one to adjudge just how the alleged
differeneee between the contractor
and the district should be settled, or
it anyone Is In the wrong, and the
land owners under the project sre to
be congratulated that they have a
first class ditch system and an excel
lent start on a first class storsge res
ervoir, and no one should be con
demned for delsy In the work, it In
any way that delay Is justified.
The material, water, power, and
I every other necessary element Is av
ailable tor putting In a large yardage
per month, enough to make a large
amount of storage water tor every
acre of land that Is included in the
project, and complete the reservoir by
early fall.
If there is delay in completing the
dam to the point where the maximum
amount of storage Is thus provided, it
will be a financial loss to the com
munity, and who ever is to blame for
such neglect and delay hi guilty of
criminal negligence, and should in
some way be held financially respon
sible for the loss of revenue to the
land owners, and the community.
The plan suggested in the Journal
of last week looks feasable enough
to the ordinary citlien. If it is teas
bale.Tit should be put Into operation
at the first possible moment. If it is
not. then some other plan that will
get results should be used.
TIMK FOR ACTION
The board of directors of the Och
co District are to be commended
Jnr the action taken Monday of this
week in the bond sale whereby the
final block of $200,000 worth ot
bonds of the original authorization
af $1,100,000 was sold to Clark, Ken
sail & Co., of Portland, and Stephens
A Co., of San Francisco.
Although the time tor this sale was
set just a week earlier, the delay was
Justified because of an attempt to ft
together with the contractor, Twohy
Bros. Company, and adjust such dif
ferences as are actual or fancied, be
tween the contractor and the district.
As resulted on former occasions,
lowever. the attempt was ot no avail,
and! the matter stands where it has
rested for many months, with the
eontractor in a measure marking
tame and the board of directors, in an
attempt to promote the best interests
at the district in which they are heavy
stockholders, yet attempting to avoid
an open breach with the contracting
concern.
From the standpoint of one who Is
aot on that board, but only posted on
the affairs of the construction work
that are apparent on the surface, it
would seem that the offer made by
the board of directors was fair
enough to everyone, in that they of
fered a settlement based on actual
performance by the contractor.
They offered to pay a sum agreed
n.WGKK IX SKCRKCY
The world has been taught the dan
ger that lurks behind a curtain ot
secrecy.
The slaughter of the past 4 years
would never have been possible had
the method ot secret diplomacy w hich
made Germany the most horrible ex
ample ot secret and untrue methods
the world has ever seen been impos
sible. The same danger threatens in the
world peace conference, and the most
enlightened powers there are making
a brave fight for all discussion and
all proceedings to be made public at
all times.'
The same conditions prevail in
smaller mutters.
Some individuals are called good
press agnti. They have a faculty
of keeping themselves before the pub
lic by doir T spectacular things, and
in that , manner often become very
powerful without realizing just how
or why they should have reached that
position.
In the Instance ot an individual ot
a business organization the rule ap
plies with even greater force.
Two men will start meat markets
side, by side. The one has a good pat
ronage among those that know him,
treats them well, pays his bills, and
is an all around good citizen.
The other buys all the hogs and
cattle in the community, markets
them, buys others, enlarges his plant
and advertises for yet more business.
He becomes a great packer, and does
so by progressive publicity methods.
