"Portland public improvement bonds
tand well In. 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."

Oregon la to have a water oode given
It by the coming legislature, If there is
any potency in the demands of the peo
pie of the irrigation-needing portions of
the state, of the state grange, of the
natural resource conservation commis
sion and of other people and business
Interests which are now In Jeopardy
because of the hopeless tangle In the
water laws of the state.
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:
