"It. is too big an enterprise for the United States reclamation service to tackle under any existing or prospec tive appropriations," Mr. Davis was quoted as declaring, and he added that "the entire original fund of the Smith-McNary bill would not pay for more than half the project." He declared that difficulties in the way of development of the project Included that of getting enough peo ple on the project who could pay the necessary $200 an acre.

President Will Xot Issue Statement Until FinaJ Approval lias Been Given. WASHINGTON. D. C. Aug. 30. The treaty of peace with Germany, which was signed last Thursday at Berlin, will be sent to the senate Sep tember 21, the day that congress re assembles after its 30-day recess, it was stated today at the White House. Prompt ratification of the pact is understood to be hoped for by Prest dent Harding. While the senate leg Islative programme as outlined at the time last weeks recess was taken called for enactment of revenue or tariff legislation immediately upon reassembling and then for action on the railroad debt funding bill, sev eral senate leaders expressed the be lief today that an early place could be found on the programme for the treaty. Simultaneoua Action Wanted. Statements have been made by ad ministration officials that it was de sired that the senate and German reichstag consider the treaty simul taneously. The German legislative body Is scheduled to meet September 27, five days after the senate resumes its sessions and about the time senate leaders expect the treaty to be re ported by the foreign relations committee. Proclamation of a state of peace, it also was said officially today, will be deferred . until after the German treaty Is ratified. .

BUDAPEST, Aug. 30. (By the As sociated Press.) The treaty of peace between the United States and Hun gary, which was concluded here yes terday afternoon by Foreign Minister Banffy and Grant Smith, United States commissioner, was signed in the palace occupied by the American mission at 6 P. M. Ministers Shake Hands. After the signatures were affixed Mr. Smith and Mr. Banffy shook hands cordially, Mr. Smith voicing the satisfaction of the United States that friendly relations between the two countries had been re-estab lished. Replying. Minister Banffry So many bids were submitted for read work to the state highway com mission yesterday that the commis sion was occupied all day and last evening opening the proposals. This is the first time since the commis sion was created that an entire day has been necessary for the opening alone of bids. Scores and scores of bids, a ver itable flood of them, were received for some 80 miles of road work and a large number of bridges. The tab ulating force of the department will have the bids analyzed for the com mission today and awards will - be made. All of the big contractors and veterans In the business were rep resented in the bidding and there was a drove of new men in the field- Many bids also were received from contractors in adjoining states. Judging from a hasty examination of figure's, the bids, as a whole, were declared exceptionally good, which means that the prices offered were reasonably low. The falling labor market and increased efficiency wete held to account for the improved bidding. The offer of J2.500.000 highway bonds was not awarded yesterday, the commission taking the best bid under advisement until this morning. The best offer was made by a syndi cate consisting of White. Weld . & Co., Blodgett & Co., Lee, Hig-gin-son & Co., Merchants Loan & Trust of Chicago and the Se curity Savings & Trust company of Portland. This offer was a premium of 31750 for the 82,500.000 bearing 5 per cent interest. This bid was a shade lower than the best bid re ceived for $2,000,000 in bonds a month ago, when $2940 was the premium. The commission may sell only part of the 32.500.000 today Instead of the entire amount. Governor Olcott. came from Salem to confer with the commission. There is a strip of yellow pine a mile long on The Dalles-California highway, eight miles south of Bend, which the governor wishes preserved. The Brooks-Scanlon company has logged all but this small tract and is. pre paring to finish it. Governor Olcott, Robert W. Sawyer, judge of Deschutes county; George Cecil, United States district forester, and members of the committee to preserve the highway scenery explained the situation to the highway commission. H. E. Allen, representing the lumber com pany quoted a letter from the east ern headquarters of the concern, declaring the plan to preserve a strip of trees 300 feet wide on either side of the road "visionary and imprac ticable," and asserting that such a small stand of trees would soon be destroyed by storms. It appears that if Representative Sinnott's bill, which has passed the house of representatives, becomes a law the government can reimburse the lumber company for this tract by giving in exchange an equal area in the reserve. . Mr. Cecil said he would make a recommendation for such an exchange, and the governor and the highway commission agreed to use their Influence to this end.

In sending his congratulations to the mother, Mrs. Domenico Zaccahea, the president told bow his mother, who bad brought up eight children, had expressed the hope prior to her death that she might have been the mother of eight more. After Mrs. Zaccahea had replied, telling of the burden on the father In caring for his big family. President Harding wrote John Wannamaker, the merchant, asking If something could not be done for him. and Mr. Wannamaker promised to help. The president's letter to the mother follows: "My dear Mrs. Zaccahea: I noticed in the photogravure section of one of the Sunday papers, a picture of yourself, your husband and your very remarkable family of 16 children. 1 cannot resist expressing my very cor dial congratulations. Perhaps I am moved to do so because of a little in cident In my own life. My mother hore eight children and raised six of them to maturity. One afternoon, shortly before her death, we were all at my home and she spoke of having borne eight children and said, with an affection most appealing- to me, that she had been happy to bear eight children and if she had her life to live over ehe would have no desire to change it except to bear eight more. I thought it was a .beautiful thing for her to say and the recol lection of it inspired me to write my very cordial congratulations to you and add thereto my very best wishes "Very truly yours, "WARREN G. HARDING." To this. Mrs. Zaccahea replied:. "Dear Mr. P-esident: With my most grateful pleasure, I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your excel lency's letter congratulating me for my remarkable family. "I wish to be excused for the delay in acknowledging receipt. I was very delighted at tha news that you come from a large family and your mother was proud of having given birth to eight children and raised six to maturity.

DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 30. (Spe cial.) It Is an Inspiration to visit Detroit. This great manufacturing center has had its depression. It was sudden and violent. Now Detroit not only is coming b,ack, but has come I back to a remarkable degree. Whole sale and retail business Is good. The big industrial plants are quite busy. The streets teem with traffic. No body talks pessimistically. There are some bad spots in the general picture of the city, but not many. The turn came in January. There has been improvement every month since that time. Today the whole De troit district is on piece production. measured by the peak, and labor is employed to 65 per cent of the peak. The labor figures do not mean that one-third of the workers are idle. The labor population has been reduced considerably. In the time of the col lapse of the rubber tire industry in Ohio a flood of laborers flowed here from Akron.

A new basis of taxation to take the place of the house revenue measure and practically all present tax laws S. proposed today by Senator Smoot, republican. Utah, -who an nounced he was preparing a bill em bodying the plan, which he esti mated would yield $3,895,000,000 this year. He added that he would take the question up with the senate finance committee when It begins consideration of revenue questions Thursday. ' The use of only six sources of ' taxation, including a tax on manufac turers' sales Instead of the more than 35 now on the statute books, was ad vocated by the senator. The six wells from which the Utah senator proposed to pump revenue and the amounts he estimated each would yield annually follows: Income taxes (maximum rate 32 per cent), $830,000,000. Ten per cent tax on net corpora tion profits, $445,000,000. Tobacco taxes (present rates), $255,000,000. Estate taxes, $150,000,000. Manufacturers' sales- tax (3 per cent), $1,200,000,000. Import taxes (tariff). $400,000,000. While the six sources would pro duce only $3,280,000,000. Mr. Smoot estimated that the other $615,000,000 would be obtained from collection of unpaid taxes, receipts from war sal vage and the old tax on withdrawals of liquor from bonded warehouses. Unpaid taxes, he figured should add $340,000,000 to this year's revenue, war salvage receipts should be around $200,000,000 and the liquor tax should produce another $75,000,000. The $3,893,000,000 anticipated as the law's yield, will exceed the govern ment commitments at presen' by $434,700,000, according to Mr. Smoot. The surplus, he said, could be used by the treasury to meet other de mands which might be made.

Speaker Macneil said that the British premiers word In his recent letter to Mr. De Valera, In which he mentioned the possibility of civil war. would be taken in Belfast as an In citement to fanatical violence, which the speaker declared had been the outcome of the British policy. The British ministry, he added, have their hands on the main switch of Belfast fanaticism. This policy was old he asserted, but declared that Mr. Lloyd George had crystalized It into the local regime. It was not to prevent civil war. the Dail speaker declared, but to pre pare for It, that the British govern ment had been disarming all excar Its own friends and arming its friendj as special police organized In Orange lodges, who would be let loose upo.i the unarmed population. The deputation from the two coun ties told Mr. De Valera and the cabi net that Tyrone and Fermanagh would not submit to the Belfast par liament.
