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.

WASHINGTON LETTER
. . 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.

AN EDITORIAL ON HEALTH

Editor. .Journal of the American Medical Association,
and of Hrgeta. the Health Mamma
JJORB and more wo rend in newspapers of the
deatha of famous men. leadera in Industrr and
other, from coronary thrombosis. 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.
