Thomson of New Orleans Offers to Refund o Envoy's Campaign Coin. .New YoFk, April SO. (I. N. S.) Of fering: to repay to, farmer Ambassador Gerard the contribution mads by Ger ard to the Champ Clark fund in 1912, JtmH M. Thomson, publisher of the New Orleans Item, and son-in-law of the speaker, has made the following public statement: "Before making any statement re garding Mr. Oerard's gross violation of the proprieties at the American News paper Publishers association banquet on Thursday evening, awaited the of ficial action of that body, who, along with myself, was Mr. Gerard's host. I, presented the situation in a letter which late Friday was read before Jhe .association and instructions were given by the association, to be communicated - In the official bulletin to all members. "I wish to indorse fully and, so far as Mr. Gerard is concerned, assume personal Responsibility for the speak- ' er' characterization of his remarks. "The Clark campaign fund was so . pitifully small as a total that I per sonally feel warranted from my im pression of Mr. Gerard, in offering him his money back. "In this- connection, I learn that, while engaged in attending banquets in New York, he is still holding on to his salary as ambassador to Berlin. "This money, if waived by Mr. Ger ard, might well go toward payment of American soldiers who will, I trust, be even more successful in a diplomatic wajrin Berlin than was Mr. Gerard."

To discuss the advisability of forming an irrigation district under the Klamath reclamation project as a substitute for the present Water Users' asso ciation, E. W. Burr of Denver, dis trict council for the reclamation serv-kl ice In charge ' of Irrigation district organization, has arrived In Klamath 1 Falls. He will go into all phases of me siiuaiion wiui iuv wicr uocr.-, here. The Irrigation district law prepared by the Oregon Legislative congress was passed at the last leg islature, making an irrigation district possible here if the water users so desire. Several advantages are pointed out under the proposed change, the chief of which Is that water users would probably be able to secure loans un der the federal farm loan act, irorn which they are now barred, as the government holds first mortgagu rights for water against their indi vidual property. Under an Irrigation district, all lands included are sub ject to assessment for the cost and maintenance of the project, which condition does not obtain at present. This would lighten the burden Of the resident water users who s.re now carrying the whole cost. The change is Strongly recommended by ' Chief i Counsel Will R. King of the reclama tion commission. A series of meetings will be -held during the next few days throughout the project to get the facts of the case before the people. Sawmill Is . Assured. Klamath Falls Or.. April 30.
