General Goethals, Mr. Scott an nounced today, has signified a will ingness to make a personal Investi gation of the proposed Irrigation project with a view to determining whether a pumping system or grav ity system is preferable.

(C'ipvriKht, IHSl. by the New York Evening Hont. Inc.. Hubllelied by ArranKement.) WASHINGTON, D. C. lec. 20. Every time France almost upsets the apple cart, Washington good-humor-cdly bays: "It's merely the Gallic tempera ment." We don't pretend that we wholly approve this Gallic temperament, or even understand It fully, but we find It useful as a kind of blanket ex planation for things that are other wise Inexplicable. In that role the phrase is called Into useful service rather more often than can be re garded as Ideal. The other day an entirely serious writer In one of the I'aris papers, replying to a foreign er's 'comments about the spirit of Paris, said: "France wants to be petted." It was x rather unusual thing for a mature person of the male sex to say about lils country, but that seems to go along with the rest as a part of the "Gallic temperament." America Keeps Patience. Although their -most recent blow tip has caused a good deal of plain speaking both to the French and about the French, I suspect the American disposition continues to be one of good-humored patience, coupled with complete firmness. Undeniably, Mr. Hughes and Mr. Koot and II r. Lodge are pretty elderly persons. It must bore them more than a trifle to be called on to Include among their dip lomatic duties that of petting a nervous and excitable nation with a Xemlnlne temperament. If that prince of cartoonists, "J. N. Ding-" should care to cover this recent French episode, he could not do so more concisely than to picture our most bewhlskered American of ficial, Mr. Hughes, going dutifully but reluctantly through the awkward motions of stroking the excited hair ot that bewhlskered Frenchman. Ad miral Lebonn, who seems to have brought up this matter of the French navy, and who happens to be about the most bewhiskered, the most gold laced, and generally the most orna mental son of either Neptune or Mars that has struck this town since tie war began. Destruction Are Made. We all use the words "France" and "the French" as a convenient collec tive term to describe the French gov ernment and the French officials here at the. conference, but when we try to be more accurate we all make dis tinctions between these Individuals and. on the other; hand, those sturdy millions of the plain people of France who have made more sacrifices In war and are more interested in end ins war than any other nation on the face of the earth. The French people haven't lost any of the good opinion of America, but if some of our Amer ican officials and observers felt free to talk about some of the French politicians there might be some tol erably plain speaking. These French officials and politi cians seem to me much disposed to Interpret things on a personal basis. Within a few weeks after the Wilson administration had gone out of rower, one of the Frenchmen at tacked the Vlvlani mission that came to America last spring and spoke publicly In exceedingly unpleasant epithets about Mr. Wilson and sev eral of his associates who had worked themselves almost to death trying to help France during the war. If the French psychology thought this sort of thing would help them with the new administration, then the French psychology failed to go hand in hand With American psychology. Militarism Not Favored. The French psychology Is inac curate again if It assumes that the red ribbons and other decorations which they have distributed among prominent Americans should move the possessors from a strictly impersonal Kttitude in public affairs. There are Kigns also that some of the French Iiave misinterpreted the college de grees and other honors we heaped on Marshal Foch as signs of a will ingness on our part to give sym pathetic support to France's disposi tion to maintain a large army and to lier militaristio aims generally. Some American officials, who must manage the intricate business details Involved In untangling our alliance with France, might conceivably find it difficult to reconcile the "Gallic pride" which insists on a larger navy than It can possibly pay for, with some other aspects of France's man agement of her financial affairs. Berlously and pointedly, this recent action of France jeopardizes the pres ent conference no less than it Jeo pardizes the future economic con ference which the French are ar.dent ly trying to bring about. America Is Determined. Nevertheless, the net of it all is that America Is determined to con tinue to make all allowances, for whatever France does as the' not wholly to be blamed actions of a nation not yet free from the hysteria of war and fear. But while we re member this In extenuation of France's failure to be helpful In our effort toward preventing future wars, we ouurht not to forget the fact that Great Britain, Japan, Italy and the other nations have gone the limit to be helpful, and in doing so have remained silent about many things concerning which they might reasonably have protested. Fiance's course has been not only embarrassing to us, but more so, almost, to Great Britain and Italy. When the whole story is told, it will he found that Italy is entitled par ticularly to the good opinion and sympathy of America. UMlTHifMED AVOKK OF STATK LIME BOARD ALSO TO IJE DESCRIBED. FAIIiVItE OF YELLOWSTOXE TltAIIj KOUTE EXPLAINED. Expert on Soils to Speak at Con ference Last Week of Month In Corvallis. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COI, I.KOK, Corvallls, Dec. 19. (Special.) The work of the state lime board in providing agricultural lime to Oregon .timers will be explained by Dean Cordley, secretary of the board, at the Two Friendly Members of Commis sion Said to Have Voted Against Portland. Sydney B. Vincent, manager of the Oregon tourist and information bu reau, returned to Portland yesterday from a meeting of the executive com mittee of the Yellowstone Trail asso ciation at Minneapolis. He presentea Portland's petition to be included on the Yellowstone trail. Portland asked that the trail be split at Walla Walla. one arm to extend down the Colum bia river highway and the other, as now, over the Cascades to Seattle, the present terminus. Portland's application was the most Important question brought before the executive committee, said Mr. Vincent. It developed an anomalous situation. While two of the three members of the special committee appointed to report "on the matter believed Portland should be on the trail, their report to the full com mittee was adverse to Portland's cause. "The chief speaker against Port land's application was Ben Hill, mayor of Walla Walla. The Seattle chamber of commerce and several other organisations ot that city sent numerous telegrams protesting against the change. "But the .real reason for the rejec tion of Portland's proposition was that ever since the Yellowstone trail was organized it has been an un alterable rule of the executive com mittee not to make any radical changes in the route. President Smith, who really was friendly to Portland, declared that if Portland's application was approved there would be presented at the next meeting of the executive committee at least 200 petitions for changes of routing. General-Manager Cooley, also friendly to Portland, opposed our application on the same ground. "It now remains for Portland to get solidly behind the Theodore Koosevelt International highway, fre quently referred to as the "Portland. Maine to Portland, Oregon Highway.' That highway is now well along In the making. It generally traverses a more beautiful route than the Yel lowstone trail and can be made to bring into Portland 20.000 or more automobiles every season."

The farm bureau turkey pool sold to Oscar Llndsey, a local buyer rep resenting San Francisco parties, this morning at a price of 46 '4 cents. The pool was held over Sunday on a de mand for 47 cents, but none of the buyers locally or from the outside would pay the amount asked. A com promise was finally reached at 46 Vs cents.

They are looking to the leg islature to save the dwindling funds of the counties from the raids of the bounty seekers. If the eastern Oregonians could have their way, the state would abol ish the bounty system and substitute therefore the paid hunters of the biological survey. Treasuries figuratively Looted. "During the last year, that is from November, 1910, to November, 1921, the coyote hunters of Malheur county have tapped the county treasury for S18.000." said Mr. Aiken. "While they have lifted that sum from 'Malheur county they have taken almost double that amount from Harney county to be exact, 133,000. "For November of this year, the bounties in Malheur county totaled 15402. So busy are the hunters these days that It requires the time of one clerk in the county clerk's office to issue the warrants. "It would not be so bad. and might be a justifiable expense if bounties were paid on Oregon coyotes alone, but it is the general belief that since Idaho and Nevada pay insignificant bounties the hunters are bringing in many of the hides from animals se cured in neighboring states. Proof of Fraud Fouad. "Proof of this was found last sum mer by Stanley Jewett of the biologi cal survey, who, with L B. Haxeltine, and other officials of the game de partment, traced the car of a trapper who had just delivered a load of hides at Burna across the Nevada line for 12 miles as he followed his string of traps. "It is a fact, too, that though thou sands upon thousands of dollars have been paid to the trappers for coyotes, there are more of them in eastern Oregon today than in years past. The hunters do not kill them during the breeding season. Thye do not hunt them until the litters' are partially. If not completely, grown. and thus the supply for the follow ing season is assured. Relief From Abase Demanded. "We believe that the legislature Bhould, at this special session, give the counties relief from this gross abuse. By acting now the state itsell will save approximately $100,000, foi the legislature of last winter failed to provide for the state's co-operation with the counties to pay the bounty and a deficiency appropriation will have to be made to provide the necessary money. "While the legislators and the gov ernor are anxious to give the tax payers relief, we feel that they can do a positive good, stop a gross abuse, and save money for both county and Btate by abolishing the coyote bounty."

Blair, residing at 20 At wood street. Providence, R. I., said; "We 'are Just so happy over the change Tanlac has made In our little girl that we can't do or say enough ti show our appreciation. She had lost nearly 20 pounds In weight and looked so frail and weak that her mother and I were both almost wor ried sick over her condition. Since taking; Tanlac, she has already gained 10 pounds, her color is better than it ever has been and she looks and acts l:kc a different girl." Mrs. Catherine McCabe, 414 Dick ens Ave., Scranton. Pa., said: "The 'flu' left my little Regina in such a bad condition that I had no idea she would be with me now if it hadn't been for Tanlac. It is a mystery to me how she lived on the little she was eating and was so lifeless she never even cared to play with the dolls and toys she got at Christmas. Since taking Tanlac she Is as hardy and well as any child could be and has gained 15 pounds In weight. I will always praise Tanlac for restor ing our little girl's health." Richard Leary, 2342 I'alethorpe St., Philadelphia, said: "There ls no doubt In my mind but that Tanlac saved my little boy's life.
