RESOLUTIONS ARE E Action that started In the Oregon Irrigation Congress and resulted In the introduction of a bill 1n the leg islature last week as House Bill 17S, which provides for the elimination of Btate engineer Percy Cupper, was met with criticism by local interests here Tuesday when the Commercial Club and directors of the Ochoco Irrigation District each passed reso lutions condemlng the move made against the present ordor of things. The most able engineers, men whose authority and Integrity aro above question or reproach make the statement that Engiueer Cupper Is the ablest man they have ever seen in such a position, and those Interested In local Irrigation devel opment apparently feel that his re tention as at present arranged is of vital Importance. The following resolution was pas sed by the Board of directors of the Ochoco Irrigation District at their meeting on Tuesday: Resolution: Be it resolved: That House Bill No. 178 is to the disadvantage -of al irrigation development In the state, and should be defeated, that its pas sage would in our Judgment be the greatest blow possible to irrigation development, and that Shis or any like or similar measure that would in effect remove from the control of the present efficient direction of the Slate Irrigation Securities Commis sion, more especially State Engineer Percy Cupper, the certification of ir rigation district bonds, would be a most fatal blow. Our experience In the affairs of EXCHANGE YOUR LIBERTY BONDS The bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan are now ready to be exchanged for permanent coupon bonds. Those holding bonds should make ex change as soon as posible. Any bank is mpowered to attend to the transaction. v O. J. O'Donnell of Hay Creek reg istered at the hotel on Sunday. OREGON TIME GIVEN FOR PAYING FEES Secretary Meredith has approved a recommendation made by the chief of the Forest Service, U. 8. Depart ment of Agriculture, that the stock men using the National Forest range be given the option of paying the us ual fees at the usual time, or slight ly higher fees not later than August 1. Under this arrangement, the maximum Increase payable by per mittees whose grazing seasons begin III February and who take advantago of the full time permitted will not exceed 6 per cent, or at the rate of 1 per ceut for each month of postpone ment. The livestock industry Is facing unusual difficulties and the new ar rangement merely represents an ad justment under which the stockmen who are unable to pay their fees at the regular time dan obtain a post ponement in consideration of a reas--rnable Increase in fees. . PASSED THAT BE the Ochoco Project causes us to re solve that we believe the best inter ests of new districts can be served by the present arrangement. Be it further resolved: That we do not favor the abolition of an el ective office in favor of an appoint ive office or offices that would result In the proposed arrangement of the House Bill No. 17S, as being not til keeping with the true spirit of the American people, and more especial ly, the State of Oregon. At the Tuesday noon luncheon the Prineville Commercial Club pas sed a resolution concerning the state Irrigation commission bill which reads as follows: We, the members of the Prineville Commercial Club, hereby resolve: That house bill No. 178 is not tor the best interests of irrigation In Oregon, and more especially In Crook county, as the present irriga tion securities commission, especial ly Mr. Percy A. Cupper, has func tioned perfectly in all its duties, thereby creating stability in irriga tion security markets, which stabili ty will be endangered by any tam pering with the present law. Be it further resolved: That the irrigation committee of the P. C. C. be and they are hereby au thorised to send copies of this reso lution to our representatives in the legislature and to Mr. Cupper, also asking our representatives to work against all measures that may hin der the successful working of the present law.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER FOR CITY OF PRINEVILLE 1921. S. JUSTIN SPARKS E Those who attended the lecture of Dr. Samuel Jmrtin Sparks, fourth number on the Meuely Lyceum Course expecting the evening to prove dry and uninteresting, as lec tures so often are, were very sadly disappointed. As a talker, Dr. Sparks cannot ba beaten, and In his lecture) "The Life and Social Customs of the Ken tucky Mountaineer," he had the au dience laughing one minute at some funny Joke in connection with lite in that section, and feeling gad tho next, in sympathy with the pathos of some problem confronting the mountaineer. Dr. Sparks Is fat and Jolly, and became friends with his audience as soon as he had introduced himself, and there was not an uninteresting moment in his whole talk.
