I do not recall a fight In which there is likely to be more money change hnnds than on this one.

The Williamette Iron Steel Works has practical control of the Oregon Drydock Company and the Port of Portland owns and operates the big dock at St. John. The latter was built to meet the needs of the port and ha been operated aa a successful part of the equipment of the port since It was built.

BALLINGER URGES GATiON BONDS Secretary of Interior Would Like Issue in Excess of $10,000,000. SETTLERS TO PAY PART Cabinet Members Plan Will Make Land More Costly to Owners. Rush of Work Means In crease In. Price. ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Nov. 11. As a result of his Inves tigations in the West during the past Summer, Secretary Ballinger la more con vinced than ever that Congress should authorize the issue of bonds, predicated on the reclamation fund, in order that ready cash may be available for the prompt completion of the ecore or more of Government irrigation projects now in course of construction. Good business, he believes, demands that such a bond Issue be authorized, for the more money made available for defraying the cost of con struction, tho quicker the projects will be completed, and the sooner will returns come Into the reclamation fund from set tlers acquiring water rlghta from the Government. Some of the advocates of a bond Issue have demanded $10,000,000; others favor an issue of JIO.OOO.OOO a year for a term of years. Secretary Ballinger has a plan differing from both, a plan which his Judgment Indicates Is more practicable. Ball. tiger 's New Scheme. He would have Congress authorize the Issuance of reclamation bonds up to a fixed minimum far in excess of $10,000,000, though he himself is not yet prepared to say what that minimum should be. Dis cretionary power should be bestowed upon the Secretary to Issue these bonds from time to time, in such quantities as may be Justified, until the maximum is reached. In this manner, he believes that money could be obtained as needed, and not in advance of actual requirements. That btfnds of this character could read ily be floated, the Secretary has no doubt. The reclamation fund, a permanent fund, Is regarded by Western bankers as the very best security, and it is a matter of record that private interests, with legiti mate irrigation projects to finance, have In recent years experienced little or no difficulty In disposing of their bonds to Western banking institutions, or, for that matter, to the big financial concerns of the East. " Xo Question About Sale If private capital, offering their land as security, can float irrigation bond; amounting to millions of dollars, there would seem to be little question about the ability of the Government to raise neces sary millions on bonds predicated on the reclamation fund. Secretary Ballinger, in his annual re port, will deal with this question some what fully, and probably will go lntq de tail-as to his ideas regarding the amount of bonds that should be authorized, and the manner in which they should be of fered for sale. In that report the Secre tary will make plain the fact that such a bond issue as he favors will not in any sense be a drain upon the Federal Treas ury. The interest on outstanding bonds will be paid out of the reclamation fund, and the bonds ultimately will be re deemed out of that fund, after the big projects have been completed and the set tlers have paid for their water rights. Cost to Be Increased. In this connection, there is one point not generally understood with respect to the bond issue. v here a project is built in part or in whole by money raised by a bond issue, the interest paid "on the bonds will be assessed against the lands so reclaimed, and the cost per acre to the settler will be slightly higher than If the project was built entirely of money, com ing into the reclamation fund from the sale of lands. This additional cost, how ever, will be very slight, and will be more than offset by the advantages accruing from the prompt completion of projects that, without a bond issue, would be post poned two, three or perhaps five years. The' great cry from the West, particu larly from settlers on the big unfinished projects, is for early completion;, they want water; tney want it immediately; seemingly, they want it at any reason able price. ' Speed Moans 3Iore Money. v They can only get It by eupplementing the reclamation fund in some manner, and to a great many Westerners the bond Issue is the most feasible plan yet pro posed. But if they get this money, and In consequence get water sooner than they otherwise would, they will neces sarily pay a slightly higher price for it, for under no circumstances would Con gress provide for a bond Issue and stipu- ( ThePrincessBoot Seems to be striking the fancy of every youngster as well as the parents.

The reclamation law was passed with the understanding that the cost of building big works should not be borne by the Government, but by the settlers; any legislation seeking to impose even a email share of this cost on the Government would be defeated. Eastern sentiment is too strong against any such Idea to permit of its consummation. CLOSEST SCORE MADE DILWORTH DERBIES BEAT GOLD SEALS AT IJfDOOR. Clasgy Game Ends at 6 to 5. Schedule Arranged for First Week of Season. In a fast and exciting game of indoor baseball last night at the Kast Side Ath letic Club, the Dilworth Derbies defeated the Gold Seals by 6 to S. the closest score made this season. The game was a classy exhibition throughout. Fording in the- box for the Gold Seals did great work, striking out 17 men and allowing but seven hits. He was rather wild at critjeal times, however.

At the end of the eighth Inning the score was 6 to 4 in - favor of the Gold Seals, but in the ninth, when McKenzle took possession of the pitchers' box for the Gold Seals, he proved erratic and the Dilworths taking a brace secured two runs and won the game.

No Preservatives Used In Canned Fruits and Vegetables We want you to know, Mrs. Housewife, that the talk about preserv ativescloesn't refer to canned fruits and vegetables. Corn, peas, tomatoes, peaches and all vege tables and fruits are preserved by sterilization alone. That means by heat. This is true of any brand, put up by any canner. For preservatives are unnecessary. To use them would be useless expense. Vegetables and fruits for canning are taken fresh from the gardens and orchards. They are usually canned the very day they are picked. They are cooked in -the cleanest of kitch ens cooked just as you cook them your self. And nothing whatever is added, save sometimes a savor of salt for vegetables or sugar for fruits. They are sterilized by heat, after the cans are sealed. When you open a product perhaps, months after the canning it is as fresh as the day it was picked. Del Monte Best Selected tomatoes large, vine-ripened ad firm are the Del Monte brand. We put up 400 varying grades of tomatoes under 400 different labels; many for dealers who own their own brands. This year we put tip over a million bushels of tomatoes. The cream of that crop can be placed on your table this winter by simply asking your grocer for Del Monte tomatoes. A can of Del Monte tomatoes is principally solid The Largest mi Cocoa F a c t No. 1 There are nine or ten spe cie! of cocoa trees, the best being t he Theabroma Cacao, a name bestowed by Linnsrus, (the father of botany) and meaning "food of the gods." Cocoa trees grow over a wide tropicri area, principally on the American continent. t ANY. a man ha$ succeeded in .life1 spijeTof a long. Modern canning began with the invention of sterilization. , In the old days most of us for most of the year had to go without fresh vegetables and fruits. Now we have them all the time. Hundreds of millions of cans are put up in Canned Fruits and Vegetables Packed Where They Ripen The Day They're Picked have the same freshness and flavor are just as free from preservatives as those you cook your self. This is always true. Fruits and vegetables naturally vary. One crop may excel another. One section may growfiner grades than another. But all are clean, all pure, all free from preservatives. Value of Our 400 Brands tomato meat. We drain off all extra water. That is why you will find a can of Del Monte contains two or three times as much actual tomato meat as other brands. The price everywhere is 12 cents a can. You will always be sure of the best value in tomatoes by insisting on Del Monte, for it carries our name and guarantee. The same is true of all Del Monte fruits and vege tables. AU grocers can supply you. CALIFORNIA FRUIT CANNERS ASSOCIATION SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.
