PUBLIC HKARInO PLASHED u ....... ik.i ha will Mt m. Aefi- '-nlte date for a public hearing before him ' at which all of the facts may be , ' brought out with a view teethe eaneel- latlon of the g-overpment's contract with the California-Oregon Powersompany. , At the same time Chamberlain re ceived a letter from Charles Malmfey. counsel for -the department. Informing- , him that the date of the hearing had been set for Thursday December 2, at 10 o'clock, and expressing the hope that the senator would re aDie 10 oe present p' end make what presentation of the case lie might deem necessary. :- The California-Oregon Power company Is a Callfornla-Jporporatlon said to be f, -owned or controlled by the FUslshhacker Interests of that state. When Franklin K. Lane of California was secretary of the Interior he entered Into a contract with the California-Oregon Power com- 'A pany giving to that corporation the '; right to construct a dam across the foot ,"' of Klamath lake, ostensibly for the pur- j pose of creating electric power. iu HEAL 'PURPOSE SEE 5 ;U- It developed, however, that one of the f main purposes of the project was the , diversion of the waters of the lake for ,tbe Irrigation of a vast acreage of arid ; . land In Modoc county, California. '.r -The people of Klamath county object ed strenuously to the contraot hut with out avail until they appealed to Senator! Chamberlaih for assistance.. Their ob jection was based on the fact that the construction of the power company's dam would raise the level of the lake so high that It would inundate from 12,000 to , 15.000 acres of valuable agricultural land .around the mar (tin of the lake land which ' was greatly desired by service men' for the establishment of homes. In addition to this they objected because the diversion of the waters of the lake to California lands, prior to the time when the reclamation department bad fully provided Klamath county lands with water for Irrigation, would result in the establishment of such prior rights In the owners of the California lands as would defeat the use of the waters out of Oregon's greatest natural reservoir for the reclamation of Oregon lands, -HEW PROTEST FILED Bertator Chamberlain had pretested to Secretary Lane against the contract prior to Its execution between the depart ment of the Interior and the power com pany. While on a visit to Klamath Falls In August he went over the' ground per sonally end again filed his protest with Secretary Payne, requesting that the work of the company Be Stopped. This request, .accompanied by 'the, senator's argument as It was, resulted in orders being sent out to the company to stop work pending a full Investigation of the merits of the case. The hearing for De cember 2 is the latest development. It Is an Interesting fact, whether co incidental or otherwise, that shortly after Senator Chamberlain's onslaught Upon the California corporation and Its project, Montavtlle Flowers, a California orator and a warm friend of Senator Hi ram Johnson of that state, who Is one of the ranking members of the senate com mittee on Irrigation and reclamation of arid land, was sent from California into Oregon to work against the reelection of ' Senator Chamberlain. CHAMBERLAIN TARGET Flowers has been throughout Eastern Oregon, where he has made particular appeal to the people of the semi-arid districts for the defeat of Chamberlain, and has made the boast that he has been sent to Oregon from California to effect the defeat of Chamberlain, if possible. California corporate and financial in terests who hold Heavy Investments in Northern California Irrigation develop ment projects are vitally affected by the success or failure of the California-Oregon Power company's Klamath lake di version project Chamberlain has stopped them In the Interest of Oregon Irrigation development. Flowers, sent up , from California, is trying to defeat him, a fact wnich Is more than significant. Oregon 1" Now Over 1910470,605.00 . j .1906 $624,000.00 .

However, others close to the White House indicated they expect the president to call on Senator Harding to name the "spokesmen." Prince De Beam, French charge d'af faires, has informed the state depart ment that the French foreign office has denied sending any spokesmen to Sen ator Harding relative to an association of nations." The charge said that he la satisfied that no official spokesmen of France have voiced their approval to the candidate of "an association of na tions." Under Secretary of State Davis made this announcement, but refused to state whether a formal answer had been re ceived from France on the Inquiry made yesterday, or n what manner the Inquiry was made. , It also became known today that Am bassador Jusserand has advised ' off i (oials of this government that he has 'never discussed the association of na tions, with any members of. the senate. , 1 It was strongly, indicated at tne state department today that his government is ready to consider the incident closed so far as the question of diplomatic proprieties goes and that France is no longer considered a party to the con troversy. ''SPOKESMAN" WAS CITIZEN - OF FRANCE, SATS HARDING Nwarion, Ohio, Oct. 19. Senator Hard ing did not wait for the official-copy of President Wilson's letter to him re garding the candidate's reference to the fact that spokesmen for France inform ally approached him and asked-that the Ur.Hed States lead the way to a worU fraternity. The Republican candidate in a formal communication addressed to President Wilson, Issued Monday night, replied as follows: "My dear Mr. President : , I have be fore me a press copy of your letter to me of this date, though I am not in receipt of the-ertginal copy. 1 am glad to makei prompt reply. "It is 'very gratifying that you hesi tate to draw Inferences without ray as surance that I am correctly quoted. The quotation as reported In your letter Is not exact. The notes of the stenogra pher reporting my remarks quote me as saying. "France has sent her spokesman to me informally asking America in its new realization of thesituation to lead the way for an association of na tions.' I am sure that my words could not be construed to say that the French government has sent anybody to me The thought I was trying to convev was that there had cOme to me' those wno spoke a sentiment which they repre sented to he very manifest among the French pebple, but nothing could sug gest the French government having violated Jhe proprieties of international A Few Steps In Oil Platform HIGHWAY ft relations. Official "Vrance would never seek to go over -your high office) as our chief -executive to Appeal to the Ameri can peopl or any portion thereof. .- : l can see no Impropriety In a private citizen of France, or an American deeply friendly to France, expressing; to me their understanding of the sentiments in that friendly republic. "It is not important nough to dis cuss perhaps, but I very respectfully urge that an informal expressioa to me Is rather more than that to a private' dttsen. I hold a place 'ma a member of the foreign relations committee of the United States senate which is' charged with certain constitutional authority in dealing with foreign relations and I am necessarily conscious that X am the nomine of 'the Republican party for president of our republic. "In the combination of these two posi tions It ought not to be unseemly that some very devoted friends of a new and better relationship among nations, no matter whence they come, should wish to advise the relating to aspirations to cooperate with our own republic in at talnlng that high purpose. .Let me as sure you again of the observance of ail the proprieties and again assert that the French government has maintained that great respect for your position to whichl I myseii subscribed. v "With great respect," I am very truly, "Warren Q. Harding." G, 0. P. SPLIT SAID TO BE INEVITABLE (Continued Prom Put One) of taking "burdensome taxation" from the backs of big business. PENROSE AGAITfST BORAH This fight is coming, whoever is elect ed president. It will be Intensified If Harding is elected, because it will then ba a struggle for immediate control. It was of these fundamental differences between the progressive and the conserv ative that Borah was thinking when he said, when Harding was nominated: "Everybody knows he is not satisfactory to me, and I am sure he is not satis factory to Johnson," and It was of the same thing that Penrose was thinking at the same time when he said Harding's .nomination was highly satisfactory., Johnson and Borah know Harding is not their kind of a Republican. They have subordinated this for the tiine be ing to defeat The League of Nations. They are confident that, with Harding, they can beat the league, and after that issue has been decided, they are ready for battle. No one who reads what Bor ah and Johnson say can find any In dorsement of Harding except on the ground that he Is opposed to the league. The light which is brewing , will seri ously affect a Harding administration almost from the outset. In the opinion of observers here, who look for new alliances as soon as the election is over. Progressive Republicans will make com mon cause with pregressive Democrats to curb reaction, as they have done in the past POWER FROM WHITE HOUSE The important difference will be that if Harding Is president the reaction aries will have the White House influ ence with them, while for the last eight years they have had a progressive presi dent against them. The energizing strength of Wilson has carried the day for progressive measures, and the Demo crats have held a fairly united front la his support. In other words, a Harding election carries a clear promise of political tur moil, with the Republicans torn Into factions and falling; Into a state of dead lock. A Cox administration would' mean comparative quiet, - for Cox would go ahead' on progressive lines and would undoubtedly command the support of both houses, with his own party practi cally united, and progressive Republic ans helping out over the rough spots In the road.

The trouble begaA when an official refused to give Luis Freg, the famous Mexican, an ear of one of the animals be killed. Freg had, been honored by 'his sec ond'bull, receiving a long shallow wound In the abdomen. When he killed the animal he received an ovation and de manded that he beAiwarded ah ear. The official at first refused and the specta tors surged Into the ring. To keep the peace, the official finally gave Freg the ear. , "SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT" Gloria, the incomparable, i n a C e c i jh B. De Mille masterp iece.

BubI- ness in Vancouver has been sus pended for the afternoon while cit izens, organized in. posses, are scour ing the country for mile around in seaxch of Mayor K. O. ""Perctval, missing sine Sunday. AH clues so far developed have been abandoned by the searchers and the feeling is prevalent that the mystery of the disappearance will be solved In the Columbia river, but the decision to go over the country carefully was reached that po opportunity of finding Perdval alive might he overlooked. A report that the missing mayor was seen in Portland Monday morning was run down and proved groundless. Other reports that he baa been seen since Sunday afternoon have also been found of no value. Local plans for the search are being carried out under the guidance of Charles Davis, councilman, who pre sided at Monday night's council meet ing. . Circulars describing Perdval have been sent broadcast throughout this dls? trict and the sheriffs oWll surrounding counties have been netufed of the dis appearance.

So borrowing money for automobiles was reduced to a minimum and as a oons quence - the manufacturers found the dealers reluctant to boy. Similarly, used cars have been accumulating in vacant lata and In some cases have been better bargains than new cars, which also has retarded purchases, of new machines. Meanwhile the automobile concerns have taken advantage of their situa tions to reduce their labor overhead. They have laid off thousands of men. The figures are not available, but often men are given two weeks' vacation and r when they come back are told they can not have the same Jobs, but others that pay less. One concern, had been em ploying 21 men to perform a certain op eration that was finished dally at 4 p ro. It reduced tne number of men to if and la getting the work done by 1:10 p. m. .Economies ot this sort are being practiced both In the factories and on the clerical aide.

The manufacturers say they are assured of money to finance their winter's manufacturing program.' In only one case is there any rumor of - a receivership and the banks are said to be ready to prevent that company from going under. UNSKILLED WORKERS RETARD The solution seems to be found in re ducing the cost of labor or getting more production out of the same number of workers. One concern found that 60,000 men were not turning out as many cars as 40.000 men did before the war. Ii wasn't entirely due, to laxity or Idle' ness, but to the creeping in of unskilled workers who retard the Car making process. One man can slow up 60. .
