IThe Powder river project will utilize the jinirt vaney reservoir sue, wnicn is saia w pm-qess unusual aavaniagea. 2 Bien's letter to Slnnott follows : J "I write to advise 'you resrardinr the Result of Mr. Davis' Vit. to the Des chutes project this summer, which caused htm to decide to recommend dropping tthat project from the estimates now be Sing submitted and substitute therefore the Powder river project . "He desired that I should communl . . jcate to you and other members of the 9debratlon th rMtnnii for this rhnnirc v 3ef ore approval of the estimates. . XOHTBOVERST CAUSES CHANGE S "On the Deschutes project he found . .quite a controversy about use of the - psvater supply, as the people of Bend jand vicinity appear to be opposed to ;ny development which will require water stored at Ben ham Falls to be used . a the. north unit, insisting that, the .' Hatter should be irrigated from Crooked yriver. Mr. Davis is satisfied that the use of Crooked river waters on the north tlinlt is Impracticable on account of the crest physical difficulties. -'The large use of water for lumber Interests would be Interfered with by Irrigation development ana tne people e .Send and vicinity feel that this. would 3e inadvisable, so it appears wise to await the time when the lumber inter sts wlH not make such great demands ' lupon the water of the Deschutes. "Furthermore, there are some small power developments on the Upper Des- chutes which would be interfered with Jky the Irrigation development which In - ".the future could probably be provided "Hot when a large power development, Is Installed pn the lower section of the . ..river. 3LASD PRITATELT OWNED 5 "Another difficulty is that a lartre Dart of the land Is in 'private ownership "with a number of tracts, in large hold ings, one ' of which exceeds 5000 acres, 'and there appears to be among private owners preference for an attempt to pro Vide" for, private construction as they ' 'have encouragement in this direction ywhlch would not Involve ' retTOtrnft in dividual holdings. I. '"The president of the irrigation dis trict expressed the opinion that it would be - impossible to secure general com pliance with the reduction of acrSgTe ' Quired by law and that it would' be difficult to secure an agreement with private land owners for fixing a max. . ' mum price at wJiich they would sell the 1 V. WAR PERIOD GItAFTERSTO ESCAPE LAW WASHINGTON. Sept 2. (L N. S.) War grafters who mulcted the government of billions of dollars In war contracts and whose "overt acts" were committed more than three years ago. cannot be prosecuted' fin der existing criminal statutes. They will escape punishment and prosecu tion. It was learned at the depart ment of Justice late today. Grafters who will escape penalties will plead the statute fcf limitations. Hundreds of prospective defendants will escape the law. COMING BACK TO CITY . IN HIGHER POSITION land, which is required by law, at a 1 figure less than $50 an acre, which amount If agreed upon, would prob ably delay sale of surplus land develop ment of the project would probably be much hampered. "On the other hand, Mr. Davis made an Investigation of Powder river proj ect in Baker county, and is convinced of its feasibility and desirability. The climate is warmer than the Des chutes country, and most of the land to be served Is public land. Considerable acres of private land are already irri gated but need a supplemental supply and the owners have organized an Irri gation district for the purpose of co operating with the government in order to secure stored water. This project therefore opens an op portunity for immediate results as soon as the reservoir is constructed because no canal system is needed for lands now under Irrigation. Accordingly, a smaller investment can be made to yield quicker returns there than any investment on the Deschutes DESCHUTES TO COME LATER "Altogether It seems to the best Inter est of the state that the Powder river projectApe built first and the Deschutes later, when difficulties can be removed. "Secretary Fan and Mr. Davis are planning to visit the Powder River pro ject on September 3. I trust that you will find this situation Satisfactory- Announcement also was made that the reclamation service has entered Into a supplemental contract with the Owyhee irrigation district for further cooperative investigation of Owyhee, $1000 to be con trlbuted by the government and an equal sum by that district Forest Section of Mt. Hood Loop to Be Opened Saturday ' The work of grading the forest section of the Mt. Hood loop highway between Zig Zag and Government Camp which has been in progress the past two years has been completed and the full length of the improved road will be open to tra vel Saturday. The chief feature of the; new grade is the elimination of the steep climb up Laurel hill, just before reach ing Government Camp. By a series of loops a 6 per cent grade has been ob tained and the scenic features of the road added to new views of the moun tain are obtained and Yoakum falls have been made accessible. The cost of the new grade is approxi mately $200,000.- It has been built under the supervision of the federal bureau of public roads out of funds supplied by the state- and the national forest service under cooperative agreement on a fifty fifty basis. ; . HURT IK COLLISION J. P. Peterson of 966 Tibbetts street suffered minor injuries to the knee when a delivery wagon, in which he was riding was struck by a cav at Twenty-third and Lovejoy streets. He is at the Good Srunaritan hospital. MAKES HAPGOOD CALL 11 CRANK By Xormaa Hapgooa (Cnitenal Hartic Staff Campondest) Washington. Sept J. Now that August la over there may be a lessening: of a certain type of news in this district A resident of Washington returning to town the other day, asked me what was arousing, the most interest in the city. The Herrick case," I . answered. As he had not heard of it I had to ex plain. It had nothing to do with foreign affairs, or taxation, tor railroads, -or the relief of farmers. Ijt concerned the at tempt of a lonely statesman from Okla homa to become acquainted with the prettiest girls in the i district LOTE TAG ARIES DESCRIBED Perhaps he has been looking too much at magazine coversj At any rate I described to my friend the vagaries of the Oklahoma congressman, his 'form letter to the entrants in a beauty con test, and his assurance to them that If they would compete; for his hand and heart they would, be competing for the greatest prize in any woman's life: The love of one of the very few pure men extant with plenty of money, and with the practical certainty of being president in 1929. 1 My friend, who has lived in Washing ton a long time, did not seem startled. Does not that seem; strange to you," I asked, "to find such a man occupying a seat in the house of representatives?" "No." he replied, 'it is what I should expect Wfcat type ' do you expect to find?" V HIS QUALIfVCATIOSS The average1 intelligence of the house seems to me fairly, although not astound ingly high. It is a large body and it always includes a few cranks. This particular crank told the girls that his face was only about 75 per cent perfect, but that the : rest of his pulchri tude averaged up around 90. Of course, a man may be entirely sane and yet dis agree with others about his beauty. In fact another statesman discussing this particular illusion of Mr. Herrick about his looks, told me the tale of Mrs. Huggijis on her first visit to the Apollo statue: She gave the statue a long ex amination. "Well," she observed at the end of her study, "If that, Is the Apollo Belve dere, give me Hugglns." Rumor has it that Mr. Herrick Is afflicted with a definite lunacy and that his election was the result of the death of his antagonist at a ' moment in the campaign soUte that no substitute. was named. j THERE ARE OTHERS Although he readily holds first place this summer, in the fool s gallery of the house, he is not the only one. Number two is the gentleman' who Is determined to stop the use of tobacco by all the female residents of the District of Col umbia. He would have a better chance if he started in some; state legislature of the Middle West This cosmopolitan region takes his appeal but lightly. JSven Boston, which I believe has some legal discrimination - against ladies ' in matters of weed, has her difficulties. At her famous tennis courts of Long-wood Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt; Mallory, when not playing herself, sits in the grandstand and calmly puffs away. But the biggest task of an, during these' hot summer days, -has been under taken by the only woman member of the bouse. ' Miss Robertson Imbibed the conception that by virtue of her position she represented all the women in this fair land. The idea has made her a lot of trouble. In connection with the disarmament conference Miss Robertson started out to hold the position that no woman in the country was fit to sit at it Later she made an ! exception in favor f "" ' . h II: -. . i c-H -?:- 7 I -1 ;i 1 A v f Y : l 8V If if V- 4'll re 3 i "X. .

It is said, by rage because for bidden to mirry , 16-year-old Dolores WelgbalJ, the giri he foved, Silvia Van Eaton shot her to death-in her home near Contact. Nev Friday, - and serious ly wounded her mother. He fled to the r i. ii. Jiuiciiay of the mother of Senator Eaie. It is not easy to say just why that conclusion has the perfect comic touch; but it Is agreed hereabouts that probably Mrs. Hale is not the only woman in the United States whose struggles in life 'have fitted her for severe and modern thinkings t One of Miss Robertson's specialties can scarcely be laughed at. The standpatters have made a monkey of her in regard to the maternity bill. She has a fixed idea, or mania, that that bill, backed by the most experienced and disinterested of women, is a malign device for inter fering with nature and decency in the entrance of the young to this vale of tears. It is a pitiable idea, but beyond the reach of explanation. And in this one respect the belief on Miss Robertson's part that she has on her own delicate shoulders the task of representing the interests of 55,000,000 females becomes something worse than funny.

The fire under this latter plant was not yet out and the ap paratus was warm from a recent run. Besides the. two plants 100 gallons of corn meal mash and a quantity of liquor also were taken. A youth whose name the officers have withheld, was also taken into custody when - he attempted to signal to Palmer from a hill nearby. He was captured by the officers after a hard chase and only after four shots had been fired over his head. Another man believed to be a member of the moon shine gang is being sought by the of ficers.
