(Salem Bureaa of The Journal.)
Salem, Or., June 6. A copy of an
initiative bill for the abolishment of
the desert land, board and, of the of
fice of one of the state water commls
sioners, for the' reduction of the sal
ary of the state engineer, bis office to
be filled by appointment by the state

changes, was sumLtted to Jhe sec
retary of state today by W. P. George
of Salem for approval as to form. The
measure.
.which .
covers the
recom-
mendations made by Governor
West.
is ' being initiated by Mr. George.
Governor West declares that the
measure, if enacted into law. will cut
the expenses of the desert land board
state water board, and the state en
gineer's office in half. Appropriations
for these departments by the last leg
islature amounted to $10,000 for the
desert land board. $40,000 for the state
water board and $143,800 for the state
engineer's office. The appropriations
for the Btate engineer include the $50,-
000 for the water power surveys, $15,
J00 for Celilo Investigation snl $46,
000 for topographic and nyarograppic
work
Boards Are Abolished.
The proposed measure abolishes the
desert land board and transfers its
powers and duties to the -state land
board. It abolishes the state water
boafd, now comprised of the state
engineer and the two water commis
sioners, and the onice or superintend
ent of water (divisions, and assigns
their powers and duties-to a state
water commfsstoner who shalfbe ap
Dolnted by the state land board. It
abolishes the office of state engineer,
as now constituted, and provides for
the appointment of an engineer by the
state land board at a salary or iztuu
The present salary for that office I
$8000.
It is provided that until the year
1916 tlve engineer in charge of the
construction of the Tumalo irrigation
project, which work is being dono by
the state, shall perform the duties o
the state engineer without additional
salarv. one half of his salary to b
paid from the Tumalo funds and one
half from the appropriation for the
state engineer's office. O. Laurgaard
is ,the Tumalo project engineer, and
the work ontho project is expected to
be completed by 1916.
Salary Is Tlxeft.
The state water 'commissioner, who
is to be appointed by the states land
board, is to receive a salary of $1400
year and perform the duties now as
signed to the state water board. Thl
would eliminate one water commls
6ioner and a $2400 salary.
The measure also provides for the
rvpeal of those sections of the cod"
which carry a continuing appropriation
of-59,400 for the office of state engi
neer, and the state water board. This
would make it necessary for . the de
partments involved to go before eacn

.We are pleased and grateful for the interest and assistance already
given and in order to insure a" full measure of -success we ask our

their enthusiasm by applause and cheering where it is due. This will
help greatly to promote the carnival spirit which has been lacking
in former festivals along the line of march.
Above all we are "anxious that the visitors and invited guests
within our city be given a cordial and heafffelt welcome. Be thought
ful, and solicitous. Be courteous and kind that the reputation of
Portland-as a generous host be spread afar.
In promoting our beneficiary ball we have endeavored not to
forget the unfortunate ones, and for those who can participate there

We believe in the Rose Festiyal we hope you do.
Each of the various events has been staged for a purpose; the
marine pageant to advertise the advantages of Portlapd's wonderful
harbor; tire floral parade, rose show and festival center to emphasize
the floral wealth and climatic superiority of this locality; the human
rosebud parade to emphasize our educational advancement; the mil

Queen Rosaria -and her eleven maids

of interest, both from! the decorative
and ceremonial standpoint. Each of
the young women placed a shovelful
of earth around the rose bush, after re
citing in turn a clever quatrain adap

The young women entered heartily
into the spirit of tho occasion and
their tributes to San Francisco and
the exposition, and those of their man

sort of interlocutor, were highly ap
