IRRIGATION AND THE FUTURE -vvr.v few years aro IrrlratioD regarded i " an experiment in the Willamette valley where there 1 so much rain and natural moisture. Many farmers were reluctant to believe it could "pay out" In competition. Results hare proved conclu eively that Irrigation Is not only helpful but ab solutely necessary to efficient crop proaucuou ir tw. I h verv brief explanation for irrigation In thlB region quality control. If irrigation pro duced only the very remarKame increase in iuuuwso which it does produce, It might etlll be of doubtful value, because Increased production of an uneven product may be costly ramer man proiiuvui TTn it a fri-winn the, duality of the beanB, peas beets, carrots, fruits, berries and other cannery and market product comes under icienimo coniroi. The long "dry season" in this part of , Oregon be comes an asset instead of a baiard. The guess work as to how long it will be between rains is removed. The stored water Is handy unaergrouna or It can be taken from the nearby rivers. The farmer regulates the speed of growin ana super. orlty and uniformity of duality become possible, rpfca. fomA anil preferred rating which has come to the "Eugene pack" of canned vegetables in the last few years Is not mere chance or-sniuea mor chandlilng. Because of irrigation the Eugene Fruit . nnnan la able to demand only "first quality." Canneries which do not have as reliable and excellent supply cannot maicn we quin, u. the good prepared here. - Irrigation has come to stay In this part of the Willamette valloy, but the future of Irrigation de pends In large measure on the vast program which we know as "flood control." Col. Robins In his re cent appearance before the Chamber forum said that the government surveys Indicated the need of an extensive system of storage dams to bring the Willamette and the McKensle and their tributaries under control. - To obtain the 20 millions, perhaps more, which will be needed for this long range project, it will be necessary to convince the people In Washing ton that it will "pay out" here. Protection of crop lands from erosion is only part of the story to be presented at Washington. Power 1 and navigation are for the future. But Irrigation can be advanced as a demonstrated proof of the possibilities here. Irrigation has only begun, but without a com prehensive system for storage and distribution, its development Is limited by pumping costs and ditch ing costs to those farms which are near the rivers. Under the Willamette project, the possibilities are unlimited. Vast acreages can be put under Intensive cultivation. The future depends on Irrigation here. TROUBLE IN OLYMPIC FAMILY SOMETHING is wrong In the management of American competition at the Olympics despite the glorious victories which, have been won. The disciplining of the comely Eleanor Jarrett for conduct apparently no worse than that of some of the managing committee has aroused much unfa vorable comment, but the banishment ot Jesse Owens from amateur standing because he refused to Join the team on its barnstorming trip to Sweden Is a much, more serious affair. The rumblings ot many coaches and athletes Indicate that there are plenty of troubles which "need air." The Olympic, committee for many years has assumed rather high-handed control ot the ath letes and their affairs. It there were any uniform practice In fixing the status of amateurs, rigid en forcement would be understandable, but apparently enforcement Is clamped down only when some par ticular athlete Incurs high disfavor. There Is con siderable reason to wonder If the committee Itself Is entirely disinterested and "simon-pure." Most of the Olympic troubles seem to grow out ot the haphazard system of financing the enter prise, a system of last-minute begging and campaign ing for funds which has hung on for many years. There Is no reason why there should be any such trouble In this country. A plan could easily be worked out whereby a small percentage ot the receipts from every AAU event could be turned Into the Olympic fund during every Interval of four years. There Is no reason why the team which represent this country should be dependent on "donors." There Is no reason why Its affairs should he entirely In the hands of an exclusive and self perpetuating board. . The young men and women who give their time to Olymplo competition are entitled to some voice In Its affairs. They are not "trained seals." Followlug the Rightists and Leftists In Spain merely adds confusion for baseball rookies trying to figure out opposition pitchers. "Soak tho Rich" advocates should remember, If tbey win, that their ship ot stato will have to ride some pretty big swells. A future- as a flagpole altter awaits the little girl who ran away from homo In Cleveland to climb fire plugs. .

By RODNEY DCTCHER Register-Guard Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. If you're not getting -enough eicitement out of our 'own presidential election campaign, you might try Panama. Citizens of that republic hare electioneered them selves Into such a. jam over their, presidency that no one need be amazed if the U. S. government feels it self, forced to Intervene there to preserve order. within tho next few months. . - . In the process the Panamanians at lesst rivaled tbe superiority of American politicians In such celebrated magoozlinga as ' the Hayes-Tilden election frauds 'of 1870, the "Grocer Norrls" candidacy In Nebraska six years sgo, and other quaint wrlnklea of our political experience. . . ' Among the political parties Involved were the Doc trluary Liberal party, the Democratic Doctrlnary Liberal party, tbe National Liberal -party, the United Liberal party, the Reform Liberal party, the Conserva tive party, the National Revolutionary party, and tbe Socialist-Marxist party. , - Down In Panama, when anyone feel diasatlsfied with the incumbent . government, he runs around be hind the barn and cornea out with a new party with a fancy name which he feels fits the existing situation. Fancy Mlxup In Names . Aa if that left the situation in need of more com plexity, Panamanians found that the two chief candi dates . on the ballot ' were named Juan Demosthenes Arosemena and Domingo Dlas Arosemena. Thousands of them had been told to "vote for 'Arosemena." - - This merry mlxup came about as follows: Under Latin American custom, if you are a man and' your name is the same as your ' father'a you add your mother's name to your regular name, co other people won't be confused, and commonly use tbe initial. Thus, although Juan Demosthenes Arosemena had been known as that In Panama, Arosemena having been hia father's name, bis opponent had been known - as Domingo Dias or ss Domingo Diaz A. and snelled out his' mother's name on the ballot only, as a device for getting Arosemena's votes. Tho genuine Arosemena was backed by the present president, Harmodio Arias. Before .the election-June'-7 the grand electoral jury, four of whose aeven memberB favored Domingo Dias, disqualified the new National Coalition Revolutionary nartr. which was a. sort, of holding company for other parties committed to Arose mena. - President Harmodio Arias, however, ssid that every body could vote. 'All saloons were closed from Satur day afternoon until Monday night and voters' hands were marked with indelible ink as soon aa they bad balloted. . - - There was considerable shooting when the saloons reopened, but less disorder than had been expected. . Some Phanagllng Is Dons The ballots were locked un with tbe Brand electoral jury until July 7. Meanwhile, President Arias .found a technical reason for ousting one of the Dias supporters,- Rogclio Nevarro, from tho jury, and naming as hie successor a man who made a pro-Arosemena majority. The jury at once revoked the disnualificauon of the National Coalition Revolutionary- party and op July 7 announced mat Arosemena nod won by to 40,000 on the official recount. ;AU the lawyers and politicians. In. Panama have been arguing heatedly as to whether Arosemens or Domingo Diaz was legally elected. Further complications 'arise because the law says -a enndidato. for .office-must re sign any government position he holds six months be foro .election. Arosemena didn't resign as minister of foreign af fairs until less than six months before election. There's s debste ae to whether the law does .-or doesn't 1 apply to presidential candidates. Trouble In Offing : Apparently the only way Domingo Diaz can get the presidency la by force. His chief backer is Francisco Arias, an expert at making trouble, who has spent for tunes on Panamanian elections and who ducked off to CoBta Rica, where his life seemed much safer. Francisco Arias is expected to return and the Har modio Arias government confidently expects trouble. Under Panama's existing treaty with the United States, our troops hare the right to enter Panama to preserve public order. A new treaty, sent to Psn ama in May for ratification, was-shelved by tbe govern ment despite the fact that Panamanians have shrieked for, it for decades because It might prevent the gov ernment from calling on American soldiers for protection. The State Department won't be surnrlsed st any thing that pops in Pnnama between now and Inaug uration Day, Nov. 3. In this country after election we will at least know-who is going'to be president.

This. means that-one of the email blood hesaels which supplied ; the heart with blood suddenly become blocked, due , to a clot of blood which formed within the Teasel. Little waa heard of this condition until Just before the World War. Since 1017, however, much has' been written about It. It occurs most commonly in people between fit and 70 yenrs of npo. Cases hare been re ported very rarely in persons tinder 30 years of ape. first sisn of this condition usually is a severe Pain In the heart, or just over the- heart, which occasionally radiates through to the back or downward to the ab domen. In the worst cases this pain may bo eo SRon isinit that the afflicted person becomes gray in appear ance and hns an attack of cold sweat. Sometimes the pain Is so serere that, the person attacked is uunhle to remain nuiet. In such cases la rue doses of morphine usually are injected. A doctor should be called immediately upon oc currence of such symptoms because of their importance as a warning signal of danger to life itself. Sometimes, In association with an attack of this sort, the patient becomes acutely sick and vomits. He may be short of breath, hts pulse will slow down, and his blood pressure will fall. This type of heart attack must be distineuiebed from tbe usual attack of angina pectoris. In coronary thrombosis the pain will persist even when the person Is put at rest, and it is not usually associated with any sudden previous eiertion. The pain of an attack of angina' pectoris usually ap pears after some eierllon, or something that Jhrows eitra. strain on the heart. If the person with coronary thrombosis Is put to bed Immediately and is given proper care, he frequently survives the attack and may even recover completely. 1 ases are known in which the damage to the heart tritsiH is gradually overcome by the processes of repair which take place In living tissue. After a suitable scar has formed, the patient is able to get up and go back to work. After a few daya In bed. the pain will become less Intense, the blood pressure will begin 'to rise again, the shortness of breath will be relieved. Then, after a month or two In bed, depending on eererity of the at tack, tho patient la considered recovered. There are instances, however. In which the symp toms persist and In which -severe pain comes on with nny effort. There remains also the possibility of an other attack at Rome later date, although large numbers f pallenta recover and have no other return of this condition.
