14 THE MORNING OR EGOXI AN, THURSDAY, ArjlIL 7, 1921 T E Turn for Better in Crusade in City Noted. $500,000 MARK PASSED Stnmber of Large Subscriptions Obtained Daring Day by Jtj-ing Squadron. The community chest drive took on new vigor yesterday and late returns brought the total above the $500,000 mark. Tabulated subscriptions amounted to $500,540 at 6 o'clock last Eight The entire general staff and its corps of workers were greatly en couraged by the turn in affairs. A number of large subscriptions were obtained during the day and many firms increased their first sub scriptions by amounts ranging from 60 to 100 per cent when re-solicited by members of the flying squadron. A call was sent out to the 80 churches and 11 denominations of the city represented by the Portland Fed eration of Churches to rally to the aid of the chest with financial and moral support.

WESTERN MEN ELATED Plan Xow Is to Have Senator Mo Xary Introduce Measure in Senate Monday. THE OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, D. C, April 6. Western reclamation received a further boost today when Secretary of Interior Fall In conference with Senator McNary, chairman of the senate committee on irrigation, gave his approval to the salient features of the bill to be in troduced in congress next Monday. Secretary Fall said this bill showed careful study of the question and great pains to put the matter up to congress in a way that representa tives from ths entire country can support it without misgivings or hesi tation. He was especially pleased with that financial feature of the bill which avoids the old nronosal of hav ing the government lend its credit to the irrigation districts. Under the plan of -this bill after the projects have developed to the point where the land is worth twice the value of their outstanding investment, the secretary of the interior certifies to that fact This makes easy the sale of the bonds. In confining the programme to western reclamation. Secretary Fall said a wise step had Been taken, be cause in his view, irrigation in the west should not be coupled with drainage or rehabilitation proposals in other sections of the country. Advocates of western reclamation who have been devoting great energy to the cause here within the last few weeks were gratified at the secretary's reception of the proposals carried in the tentative draft of the bill. This was good news on top of good news, coming after the success ful meeting last night between offi cers of the Western States Reclama tion association, the legislative and hospitalization committees of the American Legion and Director Davis and Assistant-Director Blanchard of the United States reclamation service. The present plan is for Senator McNary to introduce the bill in the senate and Representative Smith of ltiano will pilot it through the house. Secretary Fall haa let it be known that he is studying the proposition of taking water out of Yellowstone National park for irrigation in Mon tana and Idaho, for which bills are pending both in the senate and house. He holds to the view of his pre decessor, John Barton Payne, that ir rigation districts, private projects or states should not be permitted to go into the national parks and build ir rigation works. He is looking into the question, however, to see if it is possible to consider a plan by which the gtv ernment might erect such works in parks for irrigation outside, reserv ing complete supervision and control in federal hands. He is not sure that he will agree even to this, but thinks the question worth a study where constructive purposes can be served without marring the natural beauties of the park. He will not support the bill by Senator Walsh of Montana on this subject without considerable modifications. Pacific Coast Shipping Xotes. ASTORIA, Or., April 8. (Special.) The steam schooner Johan Poulsen arrived at 9 o'clock this morning from San Francisco via Eureka and went to Portland to dis charge her cargo of redwood lumber, which is to be loaded on the British schooner David Evans.

The Carlos Is loading at the Donovan mill and Grays Harbor at the Aberdeen Lumber & Shingle mill. The steam schooner Charles Chrlstensen left at noon for San Francisco with a load of lumber from the American mill. Taxes on all offshore or foreign trade vessels owned on Grays Harbor but regis tered with Seattle as their home port must be refunded or rendered unollectable bv a decision made by George D.f Abel in superior court at Montesano. The case artectea was tne suit or tne Grays Harbor Motorship company for re lief from assessment of J0,000 on three barkentines built here. The court held that as the vessels claim Seattle as their registry port, tffcy are outside the juris diction of the Grays Harbor assessor. The Motorshin corporation oy mis oe- cision will escape taxation on the three barkentines. Forest Friend, Forest Pride and Forest Dream, which ief t the ways here in 1919, being the last three sea Rolng vessels built at the motorships yards, The vessels are used in trade between American ports and Australia.

"Do you have that momentous ques tion finally decided?" the Judge asked Cook replied in the affirmative. "Well, I sentence the straw hat to the trunk for a period of 20 days, and if you drink any more of that north end moonshine I'll put you there for a like period." Cook voiced his thanks and shuf fled from the courtroom, the golden hat balanced Jauntily on the back of his hea.d. METHODISTS WILL BUILD First Church of Corvallis Plans Edifloe to Cost $100,000.
