Party leaders, however, were aware that a crisis was-on hand and they sat with fear and trembling: until after Gov ernor Cox began his speech. Friends of Senator Chamberlain eucceded in surrounding; Cox so that , no poison could he peddled to him ty the antt-Chamberlain democrats. -So far so good, but after this had "been accomplished. It was ths senator, himself, who nearly spilled the poli tical beans all over the stage of the auditorium. . Senator Follows Directions. In short, from being; a more or less routine political meeting;, the audi- torium Just escaped being one of the most sensational gathering's of the campaign one which would have caused a stir in the democratic and republican party circles from the 49th parallel to the gulf and frorrt the Pacific to the Atlantic. At the end of- the meeting- local democrats breathed a sigh of relief, but they passed a very uncomfortable four ' minutes while Senator Chamberlain was Introducing Governor Cox. There i9 no telling what effect the Portland auditorium meeting might have had on the national campaign .had Senator Chamberlain had his way. But and here Is the point the senator certainly did not have his way, for he spoke under orders from one set of hjs advisers. To get back to the beginning: When Oswald West, protege of Sen ator Chamberlain and one of his most loyal friends, heard of the nomina tion of Governor Cox in San Fran Cisco, he ai about the only promi nent democrat in Oregon who did not throw up his hat and sing the praises of the nominee. Ex-Governor West Issued a statement to the general effect that he would" withhold his in dorsement of the nominee until he - received assurances that Cox is not a "wet." In this position West and William Jennings Bryan are as one. - Keither West nor Bryan has yet come out publicly and tendered support to Xa party candidate for president. West In Not on Hand. Notwithstanding that West has Tiewed Governor Cox with more or lets suspicion as being moist, when the reception committee was named to welcome the presidential nominee & Lhe union station last Sunday morn ing, the name of Oswald West led all the rest. Mr. West was designated as chairman, this being Intended as a camouflage. It is worthy of note to mention that West was not at the station with words of welcome. When - rio absence was commented on, some one, to allay suspicion, observed that W est was in the east and had been for some time. - In marts poltical of recent days has percolated explanations as to the -atsence of Mr. West and rumors as to why the auditorium meeting did not become a battle ground between Governor Cox and Senator Chamber lain. It Is said that not only has West declined to place his stamp ot -. approval on Cox. but he endeavored - to prevail on Senator Chamberlain r.ot to introduce Cox nor even to ap pear at the meeting of the nominee. Chamberlain Plans Reply. Senator Chamberlain, goes the re ' Port, was quite willing to appear at the meeting and introduce Governor Cox, but with the purpose of taking ; personal advantage of the oppor tunity. Governor Cox has been whanging away at the United States ' senate; he has been making charges ..and accusations regarding the senate which did not find sympathetic re sponse from Senator Chamberlain. : And, being a member of the senate ' and knowing pretty well what Is go ing on on the- inside. Chamberlain knew that some of the things which Governor Cox said were not exactly In accord with the facts. When the proposition of having Senator Chamberlain introduce Cox "was made, the senator agreed. He did more than that he promised to make it a highly entertaining intro duction. Senator Chamberlain, ac cording to gossip, threatened, when he Introduced Governor Cox, to Justt ' fy his own record in the senate on the league of.nations, his supporting of the Lodge reservations and a few other points touching on Chamber lain's part and at the same time offering a defense for some of the senators being flayed and criticised by Governor Cox. ' When the party leaders discovered - what Senator Chamberlain was talk ing of doing, they were horrified. Here was a pretty mess. But "Our George" was feeling peevish and bel ligerent and didn't give a whoop. He wanted to tell his constituents a few things which would have thrown th set speech of Cox In the waste basket and caused the presidential nominee some embarrassment and necessitated a revision of some of his pet campaign thunder. Leaders Long Worried. Well, eays a little bird, the leaders ; rounded up Senator Chamberlain in .a room and they pleaded with him; argued with him; threatened him, and ffnally sat on him. For a time the senator was obdurate; he was going to Justify his record on the league, - but eventually the leaders cave and except Oswald West Insisted and de manded that he introduce Cox, and do It without causing discord. This Is why the four-minute introductory speech of Senator Chamberlain was a bromide. But even up to and during the four minutes the party leaders who were acquainted with the feelings of Sen ator Chamberlain were on pins and needles and In a panicky feeling lest the senator break loose. Woman Buys Corvallls Farm. " CORVALLIS, Or., Sept. 18. (Spe . ctal.) The 230 acres north of Cor valiis known as the W. A. Kahn place, was sold yesterday to Mrs. Hattle Davis of Harrlsburg. She and family of four br five will take charge at . once. She Intends to develop It In a large way. Miller and Walter owned this big farm and the sale Included t0 acres of the Davis place at Harrls JVDG Dod the tDGMBXT of the late Frank I dge, former superintendent of the water bureau, that Bull Run lake forms the headwaters of the Bull Run river, has been sustained by Investigations following the comple tion of the dam at the lake recently. The theory advanced by Mr. Dodge was long the subject of controversy. and prominent engineers who viewed the lake, as well as the first traces of Bull Run river, bubbling from a score of springs, a mile below the lake, were not willing to concede that it was the water from the lalte that formed this river. But three engineers, Fred Randlett, chief engineer of the water bureau; Ben Morrow, chief asFistant engineer, and Charles Oliver,- assistant en gineer, have concurred In the opinion of their former chief. - Plan Finally Develops. Ideas regarding the development of a large natural storage tank in the lake itself were formulated by these men and frequently were offered to city officials. It was not until John M. Mann, city commissioner in charge of the water bureau, took office, that the plans received serious consideration. Engineer Oliver was instructed to draw plans for the dam to control the flow of water from the lake to the river and Chief Engineer Rand lett was instructed to do all neces sary work to ' prevent seepage of water. Today Portland has a protected wa ter supply, which can be controlled at all times of the' year. This storage supply has been made possible through the expenditure of less than $60,000. of which $30,000 was spent in the construction of a dam. Under present labor and material prices a reservoir to hold merely a 24-hour supply of water during warm weather would have cost the city at least a half-million dollars. More Work Projected. With the completion of the dam, the principal work carried on at Bull Run lake is concluded. Much minor Improvement is planned for next year and a. crew of men will no doubt be dispatched to the lake ea.ch sum mer to work during the few months when the trails are not blocked by snow. During the past summer a firebreak was constructed on the summit of the Cascades to protect the Bull Run watershed. Through the co-operation of officials of the United States for- jTrr?

Of course, the first thing to be accomplished toward, this end is to round up some 2200 or more voters and have them sign the petition to nominate Hayes. "I think we'll have about 4000 signatures to the petition." explained Mr. Hayes yesterday at 1007 Broad way building. "The law calls for 3200 or 3400 names. I don't know Just how many, but we'll have more than enough. One petition circulator In formed "me when she came to my house that she secured 200 one day and 300 another and by Monday she expects to have 1000. Of course, she has a large circle of acquaintances and to sign my petition a person can be either a republican or a democrat. Wednesday Laat Day. "The last day for filing is some time the middle of next week, about Wednesday, I think. But I haven't paid much attention to the petitions, haven't checked over the names se cured and don't know much about that end of It. Others are attending to it. "People want to know who Thomas Hayes is," said he. . "Well, who is Thomas Hayes?" he was asked. "A lawyer, with office In the Henry building," elucidated the prospective independent candidate for United States senator. "I've lived in Port land a number of years." The league of nations Is the argu ment which Mr. Hayes offers as a reason for his being a candidate. He stands for the Wilson document with out an "1" dotted or a "t" crossed; he approves it lock, stock and barrel. "is Lcarne la Blfg Iiiuc. "The league," began Mr. Hayes, the big issue In the campaign." Just then Frank S.

For the first time In 35 years Wil lamette's old historic bell yesterday summoned students to chapel services in Waller hall. Placed In the tower of Waller hall when the latter "was built in the early 60s, the old bell remained there until fire destroyed the upper part of the structure. A few years ago a bell tower was constructed at the entrance to Sweet land field, and there the bell has rested, to ring only when the univer sity's athletic or forensic teams have been victorious over .hose from a rival Institution. ' As a result the name "victory bell" has been applied to it.
