The bill provide where complaint is made that a trust or a combination is oper ating unduly to enhance prices or for restraint of trade, a commission shall be appointed with power to make a thorough investigation. There will be three commissioners, one nominated by the parties making the complaint, one by the trust com plained against, while the third, who Is to be the chairman, must be a Judge of a superior court. . If it is found that the complaint is justified, the commission shall advise measures to correct the abuses or they may advise that the tariff pro tei tioif on the. articles produced by the trust be revoked. If the trust does not obey the finding by the commis sion, it shall be fined a thousand dol lars a day until it obeys.

' The contract for the completion of the big Furnish Coe dam at Coe was signed up this afternoon and work Is to be started within 30 days. The con tract also calls for the completion of lh dam by October 1. The signing up of this contract is one of the most important transac tions that has been made In connec tion with west end reclamation work In many months. It means that the plans which have been under way for several months are to be brought to a speedy completion and that the lands under the Furnish-Coe project are to be supplied with water suffi cient to irrigate them or 60 days in addition to the usual mount of water obtained by reason of original filings. The Eschbach-Bruce company of Seattle has been awarded the con tract and the total cost of the great structure will be 1110.000. Nearly half of this expense has already been paid, however, since the concrete core which Is to be carried to the top of the' dam is already completed from bedrock to the surface of the ground. Since it was eighteen feet to bedrock, the magniture of the work already don., can be appreciated. The dam will be 50 feet high, 1170 feet across. 270 feet wide at the base and 20 feet wide at the top. It will form a reservoir covering 240 acres and consisting of 8.000 acre feet of water. This will be the next largest reservoir in the state, being second only to the government project at Hermlston. By an arrangement of weirs the dam will permit of the natural flow of the water in the river at all times of the year, the conserved surplus water being added only as needed by the settlers on the Furnlsh-Cbe pro Jict. In addition to this the spillway will have a capacity of 50.000 second feet or twice the amount of water which flows down the Umatilla at the time of the big flood, according to government estimates made by en gineers who were on the ground". This spillway will be 500 feet wide at the intake. The construction plant Is to be in stalled within 30 days from yesterday and though the work Is to' be done largely by machinery, from 150 to 200 men are to be employed.
