Senator Lane has received a large collection of such protests from cor porations in Oregon, alleging that the Increased tax will place undue hard ship upon them. Just why this part of the inceme tax law should - be more the subject of protest than the like increase im posed on individual incomes is not ap parent, unless from the fact that the corporation taxpayers are better or ganized and have "passed the word." Washington. July 21. (WASHING TON BUREAU OK THE JOIJ NAM Officials of the reclamation t-ervice are manifesting interest m the Malheur Irrigation project in Oregon. Wlnle the proposed development i3 net larse in acreage, in comparjson with many others, the low unit cost marks it as one of the projects deserving early consideration. The reclamation fund as It stands it not healthy enough to go niiea-i with' new projects at this time, bit there is no question that for a project ot this sort, where cost is so low a.'id such large values can be createj. a disposition will be found to give a helping hand, and some system of o operation may be agreed upon. If the attention ot congress and officials generally Is drawn to it. Recommendations Are Strong. In a report recently published on this project the recommendations made are worthy of note, for they go much further than the usual recommenda tlons concerning such matters. It is stated: "Because of the comparatively low cost per acre of the firBt development proposed (39.000 acres), und the well known high value of the lands whe.i Irrigated, U is recommended: "A That this project be considered nd treated ax one meriting immediate and continued support by both the United (States and the state. Bond Issue Xs Favored. "B That If It does not appear prob able that money will be provided for construction by either the United Btates or the stale, construction bo permitted by a properly organized ir rigation district through a bond Issue or otherwise, under plans approved by and under the supervision of either the reclamation service or the stale engineer. "U That public lands in the reser voir site (Warm Springs) be continued withdrawn from entry by t he United fctate for reservoir purposes, and that unappropriated waters of Malheur river and tributaries be continbed withdrawn from appropriation by the state, so far as their appropriation Would affect the project herein nro posed. Warm Spring1 Reservoir. "D And further, because the values created by the expenditure of mcney to construct Warm Springs reservoir alone are ao marked, It Is recomme vied that the attention of the public and of public authorities, be especially di rected to this feature of the project through appropriate channels." This report was formulated by ,!hn T. Whistler, an engineer of the recla mation service, and John H. Lewis state engineer for Oregon. The report shows voluminous esti mates, from which It Is found that for 12.4'i0 acres of old lands of the firt SINN0TT WILL GIVE HIS RABBIT HAT TO G. H. HIMES Washington. July 21. Congressman Sinnott's Jckrabbit hat. the rirsc ever manufactured from the fur of the pest of the plains, Is to fin a homo with the Oregon Historical society, at Port land. jeorge H. Hirnes, secretary of the society, wrote to Mr. Sinnott express ing the hope that a duplicate of the first Jackrabblt hat can be mace for the historical society. He wo. prob ably too modest to ask for th-j origi nal. Mr. Sinnott, however, says he is willing to uonate the original for pre servation by the society after he has had further opportunity to wear and exhibit it. The Stetson factory, which made the hat. is disinclined to experlmen fur ther The Jackrabblt fur Is not re garded as suitable for commercial use of the highest grade hats, although to the layman the Sinnott lid appeal's to be up to standard. The Oregon con gressman has been informed by the Stetson people that the Oregon fur "made up" better than they had ex pected, and may be found suitao'c for making some of the less expensive grades. Following up this suggestion, Mr. Sinnott Intends to present the matter to different uatmakers in thj east. Demand for Condemned Cannon. Washington, July 21.

Water power legislation at the present session of congress Is to be confined to a law providing terms under which leases may be made for the construction of works upon the navigable streams The business of the senate is too congested for the Ferris bill, dealing with leases or public lands, to be taken up until the short session. The Adamson substitute for the Shields, or senate bill, on water powers on navigable streams, passed the house with scarcely a ripple. There waa a standing vote, but no roll call. Seven teen members stood up in opposition to it. Amended In the house, the Adamson hill now carries what Is considered ail effective recapture clause and a pro vision authorizing an annual charge to be fixed by the secretary of war. These are the features on which the struggle will center in the conference commit tee, the water power lobby being much dibsattsf led with the Adamson bill as now amended.

Keen Judges of Value Do not go by com parative prices . Quality merchandise is not built down to a price, but up to a standard. The H ouse of Kuppenheimer in making clothes for men and young men, tolerates no compromise on quality. That is why our twice-a -week clearance sale now being conducted to make room for pre-season ship ments offers such unusually attractive savings to discriminating buyers of men's and boys' clothing fixin's footwear and headgear. They are assured of dependable standards in season able wearing apparel and at worth-while savings. owners. This means 1.120,000 for the public to bear. I cannot feel that the public should be called upon to bear such a burden at this time, especially when the construction of this most im portant of the overhead crossings can be avoided by the simple plan which I suggest."
