THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9. 1914. 11 WTKYGOMB E SEES RECORD MAJORITY Party Front in Many Towns Visited Solid for Battle for Ticket's Success. FARMERS NEED STATE AID Projects in Eastern Oregon Lack Funds to Develop Resources Long Dormant and Hope Is With Republicans, He Says. Dr. James Withycombe, Republican candidate for Governor, returned yester day from an Interesting trip through the heart of Central Oregon. He visited Crook County and por tions of Klamath and Lake counties and found farmers and settlers en couraged over future prospects in their respective communities. He found much enthusiasm among the Repub lican voters. They were optimistic of party success this year and predicted victories for the Republican state and local tickets everywhere. Dr. Withycombe visited Bend, Red mond, Prineville, Silver Lake, Fort Rock, Fremont, La Pine and other places. People there expect to outdo all their previous efforts, he reports, In the hope of attaining party success. Everywhere there Is an expressed de termination to roll up a surprising vote for the entire state ticket, he ays. Candidate Welcomed as Friend. Dr. Withycombe has had occasion to visit theBe sections several times in the past 13 years in connection with his work as head of the experiment station of the State Agricultural Col lege at Corvallis. His first visit was 13 years ago. when he drove through what was then largely a wilderness from Shaniko to Klamath Falls, and in his repeated visits since he has had occasion to note the remarkable prog ress that haB been made. He was welcomed on his recent visit, not as a stranger or as a candidate seeking votes, going among these peo ple for the first time on a political juketing trip, but as an old friend, who in years gone by showed a practical Interest in the development of the in dustries of their section. "I find the settlers chafing under the delay in completing their irriga tion projects," he said, "and it is ap parent that proper efforts have not been made, or at least they have not been effective, in pushing this line ot development. There are no public en terprises more worthy the active and earnest support of our people, and of the administrative department than the great irrigation enterprises of Eastern Oregon. State Aid Badly Needed. 'We of the valley cannot realize what it means, not only to these people, but to the entire state. In the dry farming settlements there is a great field for experimentation with proj ects for securing artesian water and In this line there should be some feasible plan for giving state assist ance. Near Madras. Culver and i ort Rock splendid progress already has been made in dry farming, but there is a pressing need for a greater sup ply of water for domestic purposes. In the Christmas and Silver Lake sections homesteaders are feeling the need of the farm work demonstration. "These two sections, with proper development, will show marvelous re sults. The possibilities of the whole of Southeastern Oregon grow upon one at every additional visit, and few men would venture a prophecy in regard to them that will not be more than real ized within the next few years." Dr. Withycombe goes this morning to Estacada, where he is booked tor an address at the Eastern Clackamas Fair, now in session there. HIGH SCHOOL FEE FOUGHT $80 Tuition Charged Out-of-Town Pupils Object of Crusade. Action to induce the School Board to How out-of-town high school students to attend the Portland schools at a tuition of J40 a year, instead of charg ing them 180 a year as was decided by the Board last Summer, probably will be taken by the Portland Commercial Club soon. C. C. Colt, J. Fred Larson and George Baker have been appointed a committee to investigate the rise in tuition. The subject was first brought to the attention of the Commercial Club by Mrs. D. C. Bales, of 562 East Ash street. At the meeting of the board of gov ernors of the Commercial Club yester day a resolution from the Oswego Com mercial Club was read, protesting against the $80 fee.

Miss Alice Windhurst, who demonstrates Portland's partic ular variety of widow in the mu sical comedy tabloid, "The Six Winning Widows," which is the headline act at Marcus Loew's Empress this week, is not a Portland girl, but has been here several times in vaudeville, and says she "just loves the place." Three years ago, when the Orpheum was in the old Marquam building, where the Baker Thea ter now Is, Percy Chapmf.n, the clever comedian and manager of "The Six Winning Widows," played the "big time" there in "The Six Blonde Typewriters," and Miss Windhurst was one of the dashing typists. The two tabloids are very similar, being musical comedies in miniature, with all the dash and "ginger" of a regular production. packer whose plant was destroyed by fire recently, is at the Benson.

COLLISION CASE HEARD CLAIMS FOLLOWING CRASH IN HAR BOR TOTAL 250,0OO. Suits Resulting; From Astoria Accident Involve Rights of Port of Portland. Damage claims aggregating $250,000 are represented in the admiralty suit heard in the Federal District Court yes terday as a result of the collision in Astoria harbor on August 24, 1913, be tween the Norwegian steamship Thode Fagelund and the German ship Thiel bek. Depositions of various witnesses and the oral testimony of others were pre sented, giving accounts of the acci dent. It seems that the Thode Fage lund left Portland on the evening of August 23 and anchored in Astoria har bor off buoy No. 2. The United States dredge Chinook was anchored across the channel opposite the Thode Fage lund. Early in the morning of August 24 the Thielbek, in tow of the Port of Portland towboat Ocklahama, started upstream. When the Thielbek was op posite Astoria the Chinook had swung into the channel and it was necessary for the Thielbek to deviate from her course to avoid the Chinook. In doing this the collision occurred, the Thode Fagelund being bound seaward. Five suits grew out of the accident Involved in them are the rights of the Port of Portland and the methods it pursues in towing and piloting vessels between the ocean and Portland har bor. VACATION CUT IS OPPOSED City Employes Fight Reduction of Time-Honored Fortnight. Citv employes are up in arms against the ordinance which has been sent to I the City Council by Commissioner Brewster decreasing the length of vaca tions. They contend that it is unfair for the city to decrease the number of, days off each year, inasmuch as the present vacation period has been in effect for years, and is none too great. They contend that many hours of over time are put In without pay. Commissioner Brewster would make the vacation two weeks, counting Sun days. This would mean the cutting of. vacations two or three days and. In I some cases, four days. By taking vaca- tions at Christmas time many em ployes in the past have had advantage! of four extra days i-nrnimas, iew Year's and the two Sundays in that period.
