T
Important Irrigation Bond
Question Raised.
DECISION TODAY EXPECTED
Securities Commission to Meet at
Capital to Consider Legality or
Backing Big Issues.
SALEM. Or, Sept. 1. (Special.)
Decision as to whether the state legally
can guarantee Interest on approximate
ly $1. 350.000 in bonds certified for the
development of the Warm Springs irri
gation project in Malheur county prob-
ably will be made tomorrow at a meet
ing of Attorny-General Brown. Will H.
Bennett, state superintendent of banks
and Percy Cupper, state engineer, who
returned here today after inspecting
several irrigation plans and projects
now under construction and con tern
plated In central Oregon. Decision
to the legality of the state guarantee
ing bonds for the Warm Springs projec
also will apply to other irrigation dig
tricts in which a similar question is
Involved.
The attorney-general, state superin
dent of banks and state engineer con
tltute what Is known as the state ir
rigation securities commission, create
under an act of the last legislature.
Several Projects Inspected.
Members of the commission first
Tisited the Warm Springs proect,
which includes approximately 40,000
acres of land subject to irrigation.
concrete dam 100 feet in length i
under construction across the middle
fork of the Malheur river, and work on
the remainder of the project is pro
greasing satisfactorily. Bonds in the
sum of $1,350,000 have been certified
for this project, but the interest guar
antee is awaiting action of the com
mission.
Inspection also was made of the
Silver creek irrigation project in
iiarney county. This district comprises
17.000 acres and a survey for adjudica
tion of the waters of the stream is
under way. Certification of bonds for
the development of this project has not
yet been requested, but formal ap
plication probably will be made within
tb next few weeks.
Developmeat Work Punned.
The Ochoco Irrigation district, also
Inspected by the commission, contains
22.000 acres, and is located ,n Crook
county. A hydraulic fill dam 125 feet
high is under construction and work
already has progressed a distance of 78
feet. The water distribution system for
this project has been practically com
pleted. Of the total contemplated bond
issue of Sl.250.000 for this project se
curities in the sum of $150,000 have
been certified. State guarantee of in
terest on these bonds also is sought
by the district.
There has been some question as to
the validity of the act authorizing the
state to guarantee interest on irriga
tion project bonds, but the commission
believes this obstacle can be removed
and the law made operative.
The commissioners made most of the
trip by automobile and are high in
tbeir praise of the development work
now In progress throughout the cen
tral part of the state.

Canadian Property Condemned for
Benefit of War Veterans.
OMAHA. Sept. 1. Lysle Abbott, rep
resenting a group of large holders of
Canadian lands, has gone to Victoria,
B. C. to protest against what is said
to be virtual confiscation of their
property for the benefit of Canadian
returned soldiers.
Land settlement districts have been
created under a law adopted three
years ago, and Nebraska owners have
been notified their lands are appraised
at $5 an acre. If they refuse to accept
this appraisement they may appeal.
Many Omahans bought Canadian
land eight or nine years ago, before
the land settlement law was passed.

QUEER
Cargo of Lumbermen
Itself In Vessel.
VANCOUVER, B. C. A ship that is
its own cargo, a cargo of lumber that
propels itself such is the nature of
one of the queerest craft ever known
to the world which within a week will
leave a Vancouver mill on its way to
England.
This odd ship, the dream of John Ar
buthnot, former mayor of Winnipeg
and now a resident of Victoria, is be
ing translated Into fact by the Furber
Lumber company, backed by the great
Vicker's interests of England. The
ship for it will be a ship, though mill
built will contain or be composed of
j, 000. 000 feet of Douglas fir and have
an engine installed capable of giving
tne -crait a six-knot speed. Two months
after the vessel leaves its builders," it
is expected, it will have been disman
tled in England, the lumber placed on
saie or aenvered to buyers and the
200,000 worth of machinery, com
passes and other equipment on its way
DacK to .British Columbia to be in
stalled in another vessel of the same
type.
liach vessel will be 250 feet long, of
60 feet beam, 36 feet deep and will
draw 27 feet. The vessels may be con
structed by unskilled workers with the
aid of a few shipwrights. Similar
craft for Australia, using sails, are
planned. The vessels, although rough
ly constructed, will have pointed bows
and will resemble ordinary ships. Reg
ulation quarters are to be provided.

Telephone Rates Are the Prices Which the Public
Is Asked to Pay for Telephone Service
To be just and reasonable, telephone
rates or prices must cover the costs of
rendering- the service and leave a profit
that will attract to the telephone industry
a continuing" supply of capital which is
constantly required for extension and
improvements.
If rates yield more or less than such
amount they are not just. If they yield
more they are excessive and unreason
able. If they yield less they are unreason
able and are . against public interest be
cause they result in a deteriorated serv
ice and capital is no longer attracted, but
directed to other industries that are more
profitable and possibly the products of
many such industries are of less import
ance to the public.
The present rates we believe to be just
and reasonable. They were approved by
the Postmaster-General and are effec
tive by Act of Congress.
These rates are now being reviewed
by the Public Service Commission of Ore
gon, which body assumes jurisdiction
since the Government turned back the
telephone properties to private ownership.
