James M. 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."
People of Coquille
Valley Favor Roads
Proposed State Bond Issue of 96,000,
000 fox Highways Is Heartily Bap
ported and Coos Will Give Majority.
. Coquille, Or., April SO. Citizens of
.this city and farmers throughout the
Coquille valley are enthusiastically in
fayor of the proposed $6, 000,000 state
road bond Issue and are sure to give
- a good sized majority for it On June
4. Aside from other benefits which
arise from the construction of good
roads generally, it is realized that Coos
will be one of the first counties of the
state to receive state aid In construct
ing roads, as the $362,000 county bond
-Issue voted last year is now being ex-
pended throughout the county to bring
the roads to line find grade.
v State Highway .engineer Nunn, who
recently visited this section, was some
what reticent on the question, as he
'Mld he was not thoroughly familiar
'With all conditions and was here for
. 7-.tne purpose of gathering data. Hpw
"ever, he stated that a federal appro
priation of $55,000 was recommended
" by United States engineers in Portland
r, to be expended on a portion of the
coast military road between Myrtle
Point and Roseburg. A crew of 12 mon
tinder orders or the state highway com
mission are 'at work surveying this
woad"n'a-l6pect' to Te through about
May 1. '
' It ie stated in .he road bond acfthat
as soon as Coos county shall prepare
' tor paving "20 miles or more" of the
post road between Marshfield and
v Roseburg, the state shall Immediately
iave the earn a And Commissioner
- Adams is authority for the statement
that 20 miles will not be th limit:
in fact, the commission stands ready
' to immediately pave all Jthat shall be
put on line and grade by Coos county.
It '"Is expected the first section to be
-paved by the state should the road
bond act carry is the stretch between
Coquille and Marshfield, contracts for
the grading of which were recently let
by the county court.

Klamath Falls. Or.. April 30. 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

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.
