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.

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

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

8LATS GIRI4 -WOtrXDS MOTHER
Twin Tails, Idaho.. Sept Z.iV. P )
Moved. 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.

By Clatsop Sheriff;
Stills Are Seized
Astoria, Sept 2.4-Two moonshine stills
and two captives rewarded Sheriff Nel
son and his deputies Thursday afternoon
for their search through the brush near
Knappa. One still was going full blast
at the time of the capture. The other
was being dismantled by Harold Palmer,
who was arrested. 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.
