Survey of Watershed in

Quoting from a book written In
the lata '60s, Senator,. Tomas Kay
last; night brought op some points
that nay force the city council to
back down on its order requesting
the mills receiving water through
the pouth Salem , ditch to con
struct .concrete bridges at points
.where, streets Intersect the bridge.
Mr Kay appeared before the
council In behalf of his own In
dustry, the Kays Woolen Mills and
the paper mills. , 'v
Construction of the bridges in
question by the manufacturers de
pends upon whether the ditch was
dug prior to the opening of the
Willamette addition. . Several rec
ords that are j available definitely
fix the date of the opening of the
addition, but no direct mention Is
made of the ditch. ?
' Old Book Produced.
As proof of his contention that
the ditch was . dug prior to the
opening of the tract, Mr. Kay read
from a small volume printed In
1868, on "Oregon and its Institu
tions,' written oy Rev. Augustus
IlinesThe history dwelt with the
gift of; $0000 to Willamette; uni
verstty by si mlssionery society
providing the college-would raise
an additional $15,009. . When this
waa accomplished the society of
fered. a tract of about 80 acres in
place'o'f . the cash pledge Discus
sion at the time, as v explained by
ReV, Mn Hlnes, was whether or
not the society was donating a
tract valued at more than the orig
inal pledge. Some argued, that
the ditch would increase the val
uation of. the land while, others
held that' it, would prove detri
mental. Thus. Mr. Kay declared,
the date of the ditch was definite
ly fixed at some- time prior to

Colonel F, P. Lahn -tonight from
the funeral train. The telegram
from Secretary Christian stated
that all who wished to attend the
funeral are welcome 1 to do so.
Colonel Lahn indicated that the
purpose of the telegram was to
correct any erroneous impression
that might have gone out that the
funeral services would be strictly
private, and no one permitted; to
attend excepting relatives, inti
mate friends and officials.

Friday will attempt to forget his
exalted official position as - head
of the nation and bury him as ono
of its distinguished citizens.

as that of a private citizen, with
full recognition that he was' the
most distinguished, In ; the nation.
v S6 Pomp at Marion
There will be no pomp or elao-
orate ceremony In the laying to
rest of the dead president. What
dignity there is will be more
through the presence of distin

funeral, insofar as possible, will
be a meeting of relatives and
friends to bid a last farewell to a
loved one.' Such Is Mrs. Harding's

Relations , Between T w o
Countries Entering Upon
Better Understanding
LAUSANNE, Aug. 6. By The
Associated Press With the rati
fication of two treaties, signed to
day, the relations between the
United. States and Turkey enter
upon a, new era. Joseph C. Grew,
the American representative. In a
brief .address after the signing,
declared that the conventions per
mit close and useful cooperation
between the two countries
Mr. Grew recalled" that during
the past few. years. Turkey has
been the scene of events . of far
reaching significance and as a
consequence her - relations with.
other countries have been greatly
modified, her system of govern
ment and political Ideas changed
and 4 It seemed " fitting' that '. these
changes should finish the occa
sion and reason for the conclu
sion; of treaties with the United
States. ' : : ' .
New Turkey Says Pasha
Ismet Pasha laid emphasis on
the ties of democracy binding the
United States. and Turkey. He de
picted Turkey as a "new Turkey"
and a land whose government .was
based on the will of the people;
hence his pleasure on entering on
pleasant .and, cooperative relations
with the i great; American repub
lics. - ' x : .
The , two treaties, one general
and the' other relating to extra
dition, printed in French, were
signed, by Mr." Grew, Ismet Pasha,
Riza Nnr Bey and Hassan Bey.
The two delegations sat around a
table in the drawing room of the
Ouchy and solemnly affixed their
signatures in the presence of a
small group of Americans and
others.
, All Other Treaties Quashed
In the general convention the
contracting parties agree : to - ter
minate all treaties existing be
tween them and capitulations are
completely abrogated. Each party
agrees to receive diplomatic and
consular representatives who will
be accorded most favored nation
treatment. Citizens of the United
States will be entitled to ' travel
and reside in Turkey on condition
that they comply with the laws of
the country and to engage In pro
fessional, commercial, and indus
trial activities permitted by law to
foreigners and will be assured of
the most complete protection oT
person and property in accordance
with the standards of internation
al law.1 '
By .way ofBpecial exemption, it
is provided as in the treaty with
European states, that Americans
with regard to matters ot person
al status shall be subject only to
American courts, American com
panies also will be given the right
to engage in business in Turkey.
The treaty provides complete lib
erty of commerce and navigation
and accords the most favored na
tion treatment with regard to the
prohibition, restrictions and con
ditions of every kind on import
and export duties and excise taxes
The provisions concerning the
amount and the collection of dues
on imports and exports is said to
be of particular interest; of Am
erican commerce as it accords the
most favored nation treatment un
conditionally, regardless of wheth
er special favors and facilities are
granted by either country gratu
itously or In return for recipro
cal compensatory treatment.

'The result has been confusing

to be alarming, for to it some

the whole trouble with escapes at

themselves say that, with the
board uninformed as to its pow
ers, or not acting as they inter
pret the law to demand, the pris
oners who have earned a parola
are unjustly robbed of what is
theirs by law and by moral right.
Various ones of the prisoners

that in the confusion of laws, they
could, get certain Justice only by
taking it with their own hands.
