According to a statement made by the
jurist following his return from Port

"I have a large ranch in eastern
Oregon, together with many other
property and private Interests," said
Justice Bennett, "and I rind that 1
am unable to admini3ter properly
these affairs and at the same .time
perform the duties of the office to
which I was elected. I have been
negotiating for the eale of some of
my property for several weeks, but
unless relief Is forthcoming in the
near future I will be compelled to re
sign. In this event 1 would devote
my entire time to looking after my
land holdings and other private in
terests." Justice Bennett has been prominent
4n Oregon democratic circles for many
years, and was elected justice of the
supreme court over J. U. Campbell of
Oregon City, John S. Cook of Marsh-
field and Conrad P. Olson of Port
land at the general election held No

IRRIGATION PLEA HELD UP
STATE DESERT IAXD BOARD
5IEMBERS ABSENT.
Central Oregon Company Requests
Extension of Period of Segre
gation of 110,000 Acres.
SALEM. Or.. Sept- 21. (Special.)
The request of the Central Oregon
Irrigation company, which has
reclamation contract with the state.
for the extension of the period of
segregation of approximately 140,000
acres in Crook and Deschutes coun
ties, was held in abeyance by the
state desert land board at a meeting
today because of the absence of two
of its members.
The contract between the state and
TTniied states government affectinz
these lands expires October 17, andihevy crops of perishable foodstuffs.
If any extension of time is granted
the transaction must have the sanc
tion of the department of the interior.
The irrigation service, as now con
structed, includes three main canals
aRcrepating 4"! miles, concrete diver
sion dam across the Deschutes river,
51.000 acres of irrigable land pat
ented by the United States govern
ment, 44,000 acres contracted for with
settlers, 36,000 acres occupied by set
tlers. Son farms with a total appraise
ment of $3,500,000, and the crops and
livestock for the vear 1920, with esti
mated value of $3,500,000.
Jack Iatourette appeared before
the board for the irrigation district
and protested against the proposed
extension of time for segregation of
the lands in case they were to re
main under the control of the irriga
tion company. He said, however, that
the district would not object to the
extension if it did not operate to ex
tend the company's reclamation con
tract with the state.
It was explained that the project
is now in litigation and that there
was a probability that the central
ureson irnsat on district would, take
over the holdings of the irrigation
company. As a result of this it was
predicted that the irrigation company
would relinquish control of the prop
erty. Members of the board indicated
today that the request for extension
of the segregation period probably
will be made at the next meeting of
the body.

SHORTAGE OF COAL
Famine Threatened by Walk
out of 3000 Miners.
MINE- OPERATORS MEET
Demands of Men Cannot Be Met
Because Consumer Cannot Be
t
Made to Pay Rise, View.
SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 21. A seri
ous shortage of domestic and steam
coal is in prospect for this state, as
the first result of the threatened
strike of 3000 coal miners set for
Thursday morning, according to mine
operators in conference here today.
In an effort to lay in a sufficient
supply of domestic coal to meet the
situation threatened. Seattle dealers
were today sending large orders to
British Columbia mines, it was stated,
and were making every eTfort .to fill
their yards. Representatives of all
the largest mines in the state were in
conference here all a!ternoon, but an
nounced they had been unable to
rtach an agreement by which the de
mands of the miners could be met.
The miners asked that the increased
wage scale be made retroactive to
August 16.
The operators state that the coal
mined to that date has been sold and
that the difference in cost, amounting
to about $90,000, would have to be
paid out of tht'ir own pockets, since
the added experse cannot be added to
the selling price of the coal. The op
erators have offered to make the in
crease retroactive to September 10.
Officials of- :he miners' union said
the situation was unchanged and ti'.at
a strike seemed unavoidable.
500 IX PIERCE AFFECTED
Miners 'Said to Be Satisfied With
Wage; Referendum May Be Asked.
TACOMA. Sept. 21. Five hundred
men employed at four mines in Pierce
county will be affected if the threat
ened walk out of coal miners goes into
effect Thursday, according to superin
tendents of the mines involved. The
basis of the controversy, it is claimed
is the retroactive feature of wage de
mand of the miners and not the in
creases of $1.60 a da;- to men and 82
cents to boys, which the companies
have been paying since September 10.
It is understood that the miners are
satisfied with the Increase in pay and
are considering- submitting a referen-
dun to district . headquarters of the
United Mine Wurkeri at Seattle, de
mand'ng that :.he question of whether
the United Mine Workers at Seattle,
demanding that the question ol
whether the men should go out on
strike or not be submitted to a refer
endum vote of the miners themselves.
Wage Contract Rejected.
DES MOINES, la., Sept. 21. Iowa
ctal miners today 'r-ejected 137 to 108
the wage contract ' agreed to by the
joint wage scale committee several
weeks ago, but decided to vote again
on the question tomorrow. Some of
the delegates said the scale might be
accepted then.
TAX REFORM ADVOCATED
RADICAL. CHANGE IX IMPROVE
MENT LEVIES URGED.
Commissioner Barbur Vorking on
Plan to Simplify and Facilitate
Financing of City Jobs.
. A radical change in the manner of
levying .assessments for public im
provements installed by the city of
Portland will be proposed if a charter
amendment being drafted at the re
quest fo City Commissioner Barbur is
referred to the voters at the November
election.
Commissioner Barbur is anxious to
work out a plan whereby the assess
ment of costs for public improvements
may be levied when contracts are let
by the city council. If such a plan is
formulated, the council would be in a
position to pay contractors certain
portions of contract prices as work
progresses, whereas under present
charter provisions contractors must
await completion of the work, the
levying of assessments as well as the
entry of such assessments on. the city
dockets, before collection from the
city is possible.
L-nder the present system, Commis
stoner Barbur maintains, the con
tractors must finance the work, which
adds to the cost of improvements. In
the case of contracts which amount to
$200,000 or $300,000, like the Penin
sula sewer system, the excess cost is
large.
Should Commissioner Barbur's plan
be adopted, assessment for public im
provements would be made at the time
contracts are let and at the comple
tion of the work a refund would be
necessary if the project were com
pleted at a cost less than the bid or an
additional - assessment would be re
quired, if the cost exceeded the esti
mate.

NERVOUS
PROSTRATION
Mrs. J. Christman Proved
That Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound is a
Remedy for this Trouble.
Binghamton, N. Y. "I was in a
very nervous condition for over a vear.
I I I I I MM
mv mind was
gloomy, could see
no light on any
thing, could not
work and could
not bave any one
to see me. .Doc
tor's medicine did
not help me and
Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable
Compound was
recommended. I
took it and am
now -well. I recommend it to all
afflicted with nervous prostration."
Mrs. J. Cdeistmajt, 193 Oak Street,.
Binghamton, New York.
The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound, made from roots
and herbs, is unparalleled. It may
be used with perfect confidence by
women who suffer from nervous pros
tration, displacements, inflammation,
ulceration, irregularities, periodic
pains, backache, bearing-down feeling,
flatulency, indigestion and dizziness.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is the standard remedy for
female ills.
If there are any complications about
which you need advice, write in con-,
fidence to Lydia E. Pink ham Medicine

year. Robert Jacobs told the members
of the Rotary club yestecday in an
address at the weekly luncheon of the
club, in the crystal.. room of the Ben
son hotel. Mr. Jacobs is of the staff
of Whitfield. Whitcomb &; Co.. and
recently returned from a trip to east
ern points. He said that in the opin
ion of experts the blanks will be
changed only to the -extent of simpli
fying them somewhat and that .there
will be no change in rates or exemp
tions. The revenue bureau has been
instructed to prepare blanks, accord
ing to Mr. Jacobs.
He also expressed the opinion that
no reduction may reasonably be ex
pected beauuse reduced volume of
business throughout the country
threatens to greatly lower profits and
will result in less revenues from in
come taxes.

In his letter to the attorney-gen
eral Mr. Gordon said he was consid
ering making the race for a munici
