REPUBLICANS LINED UP
ATTEMPT MADE . TO AVOID
WASHINGTON, Dec 1. (By
Associated Press.) Swift stens
were " taken by senate republican
leaders today to avoid a fight over
tne republicanism Of Robert M.
La Follette of, Wisconsin and to
assure a senate seat to Gerald P.
Nye of North Dakota, and avowed
La Follette supporter. .
Meanwhile, . republican leaders
in the house were preparing the
way for a return of the insurgents
there to the party fold by setting
up as a test of "regularity" the
votes cast on. organization of the
house at -the "opening session next
Monday k and a return to the old
rules of procedure, amendment of
which was forced by the insurg
entst two years ago. Conferences
among the senate leaders with re
spect to La Follette and Nye fol
lowed each other today in quick
succession after an early morning
visit to President Coolidge at the
White House by Chairman Watson
of the republican committee on
committees and Chairman Ernst
of the senate privileges and elec
tiona committee.
At the end of the day it was
made known officially that an in
vitation will be sent tomorrow to
Senator Elect La Follette to attend
the republican senate conference
to be held Saturday. Mr. Nye said
he was "elated" over the turn of
events during the day so far as
his own case is concerned. The
senator-designate from North Da
kota participated in some of the
conferences but declined to discuss
what had transpired. Senator La
Follette maintained silence.

five years will be about equal to
the total number of people west of
the Rocky mountains today.

drainage and irrigation problem.

for drainage Is without question.

"The Willamette valley offers a
great field for drainage," said
Earl Price, OAC, during the after
noon program, marked by many
talks. "In eight years progress,
however, has not been great. Tile
drainage must be carried out wise
ly. You cannot push water up
hill, and some farmers who have
invested real money have found
water deeper when the work was
completed. : The responsibility of
tile dealers does not end with the
sale. Expert advice must he
