Chicago, where a consid erable amount of them Is held. This Is C good time for the ,city to go Into the bond market for sale of public lmprovc- -'mnt bonds," said IL A. Wheeler, presl dent of the Chicago Credit Clearing as - v eoclatlon. who has spent a week look- " Ine over the cltv. -Municipal bonds are handled here much the same as they are everywhere else l presume., J ne -nona mantei is fairly active now and the demand for municipal bonds Is strong. I do not know of a time In recent years when " there was such a lively demand for all I. classes of municipal and government bonds. 'Whenever a good Issue comes out It Is snapped up. The leading bond house In .Chicago a few days ago In formed me that they have in the last mix months done the largest business In their history. . ,4 , . Bonds Sell Low Enoogm. Mr. Wheeler said he regarded tha present Drices of bonds as low enough The Investing public has grown tired of getting singed In A all street stocks, and the exDerlence of the last few years h .' resulted in turning them to a different class of Investments. . All municipal bonds, public service . bonds and Improvement bonds are among the most highly desirable invest ments. Bonds for street railways, eleo t trio lighting and power companies, ,wa- ter companies, paving, park, telegraph u nd telephone bonds are good securities. The city of Portland is getting ready at the right time to market Its public 1m V'provement bonds to the best advan tage and will profit Very largely by the Investments to be made. 1 Mr. Wheeler's visit in Portland has made him an eloquent and enthusiastic booster for this city. Hie said: . "There exists here certain absolutely fixed and natural advantages for a great , tourist center as well as a great conu mercial city. You have here by natural gift features that the cities of the old 5 world would give many millions to ob tain, merely as tourist attractions. The itourlst trade is an immense asset to a 'City that once gets It established. - "Of course Portland as she Is has enough beautiful features to make It worth a trip around the world to see. But with judicious expenditure of money these natural gifts can be made of inestimable value to the city. When the streets are paved, the boulevards made, the parks developed and tha roads about the city Improved, it will be the most wonderful city In all tho world. The tourist travel will surely become a great source of revenue for the people here when these things are accomplished. fOf course you have a struggle ahead In inducing the people to believe and take stock In these propositions and how the necessary willingness to pay for the needed Improvements. The same struggle is going on in Chicago and every place that Is trying to vo ahead. The cities of the old world long ago learned their lesson and they have expended millions in making the ubllc improvements that bring a city nto the tourist route." Mr. Wheeler and A. D. Stevens, who accompanies him on his trip, wero guests at a luncheon at the Arlington club yesterday given by Krancls B. Clarke, president of the Spokane, Port land A Seattle Railway company.

The state grange is pledged to se cure the enactment of a water coaa and the legislative committee is now working: tin sentiment for the bill, hav ing: chosen the code bill defeated by a narrow margin at the last session of the legislature. The conservation com mission has appointed a special com mittee to look after the enactment of water legislation. The people of the eastern, soutnern and central parts of the state, where the lack of water laws is most noted. are swinging into line and demanding of their representatives in the leglsla- ure that a water code be passea. One of Throe rights. During the legislative session of 1907 there were three big ngnts tne ran road commission bill, the banking code and the water code being the storm centers of as many different legislative hurricanes. The railroad jaw was passed because the people had demanded It in such strong tones that there was no denying: them. Thte banking: code was passed after a fashion, but the irrigation code was defeated bv a narrow margin In the house, after having been forced through the senate, principally through the stub born fight of Kubll of Jackson, who was the avowed representative of water power interests in southern Oregon, which were afraid of t lie effect of the law upon their perpetual and special privileges. Hlnoe that time, as before, irrigation projects throughout the state have been retarded, hampered and greatly injured by the utter chaos of the Orepon water law. Vast tracts of land have been kept back from cultivation and develop ment, existing farms have been tied up In the courts and the tangle, already in tricate, has been mado almost unsolv able by fresh litigation on every hand. As a iesult of all this the people in the affected districts are voicing their protests nnd demanding redress. Mem bers of the legislature coming to Port land from the semi-arid und Irrlirated districts tell of the insistent demands being made upon them for water legis lation, complete and satisfactory, people Demand New Oode. "It seems to me," said one senator who opposed the water code at the last session, 'that the legislature will t. forced to pass a water code hill next Janu.irv. Mv people are after me con tinually and I will have to work for 'such a law. From what I heir from other members of the legislature In my part of the state the same demands n-e being made on every hand. Men !, o two years ago fought hnrd nr.ilnst the water code bill have seemingly become educated and are now working Just ; hard for the legislation as they d;d against it before." In accordance, with this demand the state grange has taken the question in hand and for the past month the legis lative committee, consisting of A. T. Buxton of Forest Grove, T. M. Gill of Estacada and A. R. Mason of Hood River, has been working on the plans for tho coming campaign before the leg islature. Want Same Bill. It has been decided by the commit tee to ask that the same bill considered by the last session be enacted -at the coming session. This was a bill drafted after much labor and exhaustive study by John H. Lewis, state engineer, work ing in conjunction with the leading ir rigation experts of the state. This bill, which covered every known contingency that could arise In the ad judication of the water rights of the. siaie, aeciarea uiai aai bouiccb ui ai.ei ne Ject to existing rights to their uso may be appropriated for benenciai use. It also provides that beneficial use shall be the basis, the limit and tho measure to the right to the use of wa ter. It is also declared that the bene ficial use of water is a public one, and that the ris:ht of eminent domain exists In acquiring for beneficial use any prop erty or right. Following this tneory ex tensive power and legal machinery is jrovlded for the enforcement of the aw by the state engineer's office and for the adjudication of all water right claims in the state. The state grantre Is now at work col lectfng data from all available sources bearing on irrigation law and expects to be able to go to Salem with argu ments which will sweep away all suc cessful obiectlon to the enactment of the bill selected by them. State Commission at Work. Besides the state grange, the state Commission recently appointed by gov ernor Chamberlain to find ways and means for the conservation of tho nat ural resources of the state Is taking an active Interest In the enactment of a water code. A special committee on water conservation and use has been appointed, which is taking the subject In hand. J his committee is composed of the following men: State Engineer John H. Lewis, chairman; A. T. Buxton, master of the state grange; J. N. Hart. nator from Baker county; ill 11. King, associate supreme Justice; K It. Lake, R. W Montague; J. F. Miller, senator from Linn and Marion; Wilbur K. Newell. J. C. Stevens, Judge C. 13. Watson and J. R. Wilson. is the desire of the committee of the state grange to work In harmony with the other committee, and since Mr. Buxton Is a member of both commit tees, it is very probable that this will be tne case. It Is expected to have the bill finally formulated bv September, after which an active campaign will be started in Its favor among the members of tho legislature with the expectation ofbelng able to put It through to passage in ooil time after the convention of the legislature. It Is certain, however, that the spe cial Interests who fear the loss of un limited control over the water power of tic state, now for the most part held by them, will band together in making a hitler fiht avnlnst the passage of the code in such sfiape that it would be ef- fet live. Many inquiries answered by the Port land Commercial club are bringing new settlers for Oregon from foreign coun tries. A notable example is Adolf Glas of Munich, Germany. From a corres pondence with the club's publicity de partment ho purchased a farm near Salem some weeks ago and has arrived with a large family to take possession. He brcught his wife and nine children, and a complete outfit of household goods. Today he called at the club to get some assistance In bringing his goods through the custom house. He said: "I am deligrhted with my selection of a farm In Oregon, and believe this to irreatest state In the union. I am congratulating myself .on having formed a connection with the Portland CotiBSerclal club by mall which has led me to settle in Oregon." Mr. Glas Is a highly educated German with a predilection for agriculture. He was for years one of the traveling rep resentatives of Cook s Tours, ana has visited all parts of Europe and Asia. He Is fluent In three or four languages, and speaks excellent English. It is salii his settling In Oregon will be the cause of bringing a considerable num ber of his German friends to do like wise. Advertising that Is being done by var ious mediums Is bringing: an Immense number of Inquiries from all parts o tne t nited states ana rrom t-urope. u. P. Hoff, Oregon commissioner of labor, has received this letter from Austria, showing the wide lnteres iroused in Oregon farming opportunities: "Dear Sir: The writer, Drlan L.

Acting on this suggestion Mr. Gorgas takes the liberty to present his respects to Mr. Hoff and asks for Information concern ing lands in Oregon ror foreigners, es pecially as to what trasses alfalfa, etc.. for pasturing and feeding purposes can be raised. lie requests also that the commissioner send him such reports.
