Vnlted States reclamation .serrlee. upon
the feasibility of Irrigation projects. In

Grunsky said: .', ...,...
"I desire In the first plaee to oon

Here Is a conoreta example of now
the development of a large area tn cen
tral Oregon baa been retarded by the
. lack of that Information whloh la ab-
solutely ; essential to- the development
of our natural resources. The United
, States reclamation service has had un
der advisement several projects which
nave for, their object the reclamation
of arid lands In central ' Oregon, but
owing largely to the entire lack of
reliable data concerning the amount of
water available for-reclamation It has
been necessary to suspend all opera
tions and Investigations until more re
liable Information can be obtained con
cerning this all-Important feature ot
the work. , .. 3 -, -r 5,

" In addition to the necessity for de
termining the amount of . water avail
able for Irrigation In the arid portions
of the atate, there Is a great demand
at present for reliable information con
cerning the amount of water available
for power development " The streams
draining the western slopes of the Cas
cades furnish Sufficient power to make
the Willamette valley a manufacturing
center which Would strongly rival the
eastern states if this power could be
brought to economical development. ; r
. . i-jfoxe information -Headed. -L
Before , any ' of the waters of the
state can be brought to development,
two things are absolutely ' essential:
First, maps must be made for the entire-
country - to- show, where such, de
velopment is-possible, and the .relation
of auch areas susceptible ef develop
ment with respect to existing and pro
posed highways of -transportation; sec
ond, a systematic study of the amount
of -water flowing in- the-streams must
be made. . t- :,.
The United States geological, survey
baa ben engaged for-a- number ot years
In obtaining' data of this nature, , as
well as making the surveys and pub
lishing ; topographic maps ' of portions
of the state. Systematio mapping was
begun about. 1 M; today we have the
Coos bay. Port Orford, Roseburg, Rid
dles. Ashland, Klamath, Sumpter, Baker
City, Crater Lake and Portland quad
rangles for distribution. Surveys of
four. other sheets are completed and will
be published In n sliait time. rv "'
v These Quadrangles named after ' the
most Important .town or natural feature
within their boundaries. Include 11 or
SO minutes ef latitude and longitude.
Covering an area of from tOO to 0e
square miles, depending upon scale and
location. On these maps are shown all
the roads, railroads, trails, towns, post-
off Ices, houses, streams, lakes ( and
marshes, as well-, aa . the section and
township . lines where they exist -and
the elevation Is also shown by means
of contour line at Intervals of 10. 0
or 100 feet, according to conditions. '
Interior Bonds Veoesaary. 7
The state of Oregon needs more rail
roads to open up and develop its vast
Interior. The railroads in the atate ex
tend along Its northern boundary and
down tarn western side but a abort dis
tance from the coast. Had mans been
In existence to- show the feasible routes
that do exist, the state of Oregon would
already have the necessary lines to ds-
I velop the interior and every additional
area roappea aaas to ms uaennooa oi
their construction. .
In order to develop : snd ' settle the
vast unoccupied areas, ft Is 'necesssry
that the state should have at the ear
liest possible date a . map to show ths
settler what the country Is like and In
dicate the practicable railroad routes
as well as to indicate the possibility ef
reclaiming the arid regions by Irriga
tion. . - - .. ". '
The federal government haa made and
will continue to make appropriations
for topographic mapping and for stream
flow measurements, but at the very
best these are too small to enable suf
ficient data to be . collected to keep
pace with the rapid- strides which the
state Is now. making towards Industrial
and commercial development.?
For this reason It la a most advan
tageous time for the state of Oregon
to provide funds for cooperation with
the agencies of the federal government
In making these very necessary surveys
and Investigations.. It will be Impossi
ble -to . Interest , capital In the develop
ment of this state until actual maps
can be presented and nndtsputabls facts
given concerning - the wealth of the i
state in this regard. , - I
The i Idea of cooperation In public
surveys and Investigations' -between
federal and state governments origin
ated In connection with a plan to make
a topographic map ef . the state of
Massachusetts ' and since that time
many ether states -have seen the ad
vantage of this arrangement and have
been quick to avail themselves of .It.
the following sums having, already been
appropriated for cooperation by tho
states named: Alabama. M.000; Illi
nois. $10,000; Kntuckv, Ifl.tOO; Maine.
US.OOOv Maryland, 130,000; Michigan.

vania, 198.0001 West Virginia. 100,000;
Oklahoma, $5,000; California, $30,000.
, These amounts were appropriated an
nually tn sums varying from ft.000 te
$25,000. Ne better argument can be
offered In favor of cooperation with
the X'nited States geological survey to
expedite the mapping of the state of
Oregon than the above figures.

- The methods by which cooperation
Is being had In ths investigation of the
water resources are similar to those
followed in topographic mapping. The
funds furnished by the state legislature
or by state officials are supplemented
by an equal amount, allotted from the
appropriation for gauging atreams-snd

In the senate today by, Senator Not

a law.- ' ".j-. J :" ' " ' i.
This bill provides thai the county
court shall have power to grant credits
of time for good behavior, not to exceed
five daya in each month, which may
be deducted from the term of service
of ' the prisoners who are given the
credit, and when so granted the time
shall be deemed to have been served.
A general amendment . to . the law
county prisoners on the county roads
la provided - in ' the bill. The first
change Is that the eounty court. Is
given absolute and exclusive control of
all prisoners who are serving a definite
number1 of days In the eounty Jail. , As
the law.. now is, the oounty court only
hss control , over the , able-bodied

" It also enlarges the Scope of the work
that may be required ef the prisoners.
Under the law aa It now stands, the
prisoners may be employed only at
road work. A clause In the amendment
provides that the prisoners may be re
quired to work on the roads, or. In the
preparation of material for. road-build-Ing,
or "at such other work of a pub
lic nature aa the court may direct."
A written request to the sheriff from
the county court for the prisoners Is
required, snd the sheriff la directed to
take a receipt for them from the per
son to whom he delivers -them; and
when the sheriff gets such a receipt
his responsibility for the prisoners
ceases. - ; '
Qnlet Sheriffs Contention.
Should -the bill become a law there
will - no longer remain n shadow of a
doubt as to the authority of the county
court to work the prisoners at Kelly's
Butte. .This authority Is now believed
to be clear In section 4S(4 of the code,
which the new bill seeks to amend.
but It has been questioned several times
by the eherlff. who. holds that It is
within his province to direct the opera
tions of the prisoners at the rock pile.
and to keep the prisoners under his
eontrol and care.
The bill Introduced by Senator Not
tingham provides also that the officers
and guards having charge of the con
vict under- -the ordere -of . the county
court shall have the same, rights and
powern in the management of the pris
oners as the officers and guards 1n
charge of convicts at the state peni
tentiary. - -' .. .
A few days ago we published a home
recipe for the quick cure of colds,
coughs snd lung trouble, furnished by
a noted epeciallxt of Hiilladelphlu, who
Instituted the pine forest treatment for
consumptives. - In the flret copies of
the paper there was an error in the
prescription, but this was subsequently
corrected. The error was of minor
Importance, but we repeat the formula
Juat as it should be. "Mix up one half
ounce of Concentrated oil of pine, with
two ounces of glycerine and s half
pint of good whlHltey. Hhake well and
use in tablespoon doses every Your
hours."
The error in the first copies above
mentioned was that the formula callod
for one ounce of Concentrated oil of
pine instead of one half ounce.
The Concentrated oil of pine comes
put up foe medical use only In half
ounce vials Inclosed In . small round
screwtop cases Intended to protect It
from heat and light. While the error
would cause 'no harm as Is shown
by the fact that ths drug Is taken raw,
a few drops, at time on sugar in eases
of uric-acid rheumatism and lumbago,
still we desire thut the formula go to
the publlo exactly as It was furnished
by the doctor. ( y .,
This pins preparation' Is comparatively
new, butls welcomed by doctors on ac
count of Its being soluble,' a quality long
desired In an oil of pine. '
It should be added that there are pat
