Tim possibility of u legal obstacle arising to block the boosting of the city tax levy seven mills In tukn care of the I II IS budget, wus uilinltted this morning by City Attorney C. 8. lieiison. A raise on the mlllugu lllill rule.il Is generally favored by a ma jority of tint city council, In order to help brlivg the city out of debt and to m uk e possible a number of Im provements next year. Whether or not the slate law which prohibits lite advancing of tuxes more tliuu six per cent will be applicable In u i lly governed by Its own charter. Is a point nn which Mr. Benson Is not rertuln. He ileiliiriil this morning, however, that he will be ready to give mi opinion on this question be fore the finance committee of the council meets to outline the expenses of the coining year. Ki-cuIIh ( lly's m!n In Slur. "There Is no doubt but that the city levy should be advanced consid erably, " Mr. Ilenson said, "but Just how much we need in excess of the lust lax is problematical. It must be remembered ihut the amount of ter ritory included within the city limits since the lust levy wus made has been Increased by tho addition of consid erable acrengi-." As the stale law having to do with tux Increase does not include In terest on bonded indebtedness, and since this Is a fairly lurge Item of city expense, there I sa chance that the six per cent law will have no oppor tunity to restrict the local levy, even should Hie statute bo found to apply here. MEDIATORS DISCUSS RAILWAY SITUATION (llr I'nlti-.! Prnu in The llrnd liullrtln.) WASHINGTON. I). ,C, Nov. 22. Kour rullway brotherhood presidents, Federal Mediators Chambers and Knapp and President Wilson opened an arbitration conference this after noon.

I TAXES Committee Report Gives Interesting Figures on Tumalo Irrigation Plan Interesting statistics concerning the Tumalo Irrigation project are con tained In tho roport or a special Com mercial club committee, composed of J. P. Keyes, H. W. Skuse and II. J. Overturf, who Investigated the feas ibility or diverting water from tho Deschutes river to Tumalo Creek to aid In watering the lands Included In tho Tumalo project. The report was given yesterday at thn Commercial club luncheon, as follows: "The Tumalo project originally was designed to Irrigate 22,fi00 acres; (illOO acres of land under this system havo been sold and put under cultiva tion tho past season, and It has been found Hint thero was sufficient sur plus witler to permit tho Irrigation of 8000 ncres nltogothnr, and this is tho limit allowed by tho stato of sales until mora water can bo provided. Nothing has developed since tho com pletion of tho Tumalo dam to dis credit tho nnglnoors' original esti mates that thbre was enough wator In tho wator shod of Tumalo Crook and its tributary streams such as Crater Creek, Bull Creek Spring, etc. to Irrigate tho full estimated tract of 22,500 ncres. and, In fact, the 10, B00 acres additional for the so called Tumalo oxtonslons. Tho whole! difficulty to ditto Is tho falluro of the reservoir bUo to hold wator.

WASHINGTON, I). C, Nov. 22. Americans are leaving Russia, 18 tak ing thnlr departure from Petrograd over the Trans-Siberian railway to day. Ambassador Francis cabled. tempts have been made to plug up tho leaks In the ground, and some success lias been met with, but at best it is a slow process, and the ul llniato success of making It water tight throughout is still problem atical. "Now It Is desired to divert water from the Deschutes river to supply sufficient water to make up the de ficiency of the Tumalo and its tri butaries for irrigating 22,500 acres or more. This would mean enough additional water to Irrigate at least 14.500 ncres. since experience to date shows only 8000 acres can bo Irri gated by tho Tumalo alono from Its nn t urn 1 flow. "It Is admitted by the sponsors for this project that it would bo Impos sible, on account of prior rights, to secure this amount of wator, or in fact any at all rrom tho natural flow of tho noschutea river during the Irrigation period of six months each year, and nonce It will bo necessary to build a reservoir somewhere south of Bend to Impound the waters of the Deschutes rlvor during the non-lrrl-gntlng season, and hold them there for use during the Irrigating season. The estimated cost of this project, based on costs of 1914, is approxi- (Continued on Page 2.) TRENCH AT VERDUN E GROSS TO IRK AT NIGHT WILL FORM CLASS IX Sl'KGICAL DKKSSIXGS FIKST MKKT1XG THIS KVF.XIXG F.XTKA KOO.M IS .VF.F.HF.D. Special night classes in making sungical dressings for the Red Cross will begin this evening under the di rection of Mrs. R. W. Hendershott at Red Cross headquarters. It is the hope of the organization that these may be continued in order that school teachers, young women employed during the day and Honor Guard girls can use their spare time to advantage. The present need of the local Red Cross is for a room, either small or large, conveniently close to head quarters, where the dressings may be made and locked away from contact with other objects. During the past two weeks since women have started working on the bandages it has been necessary to exclude all other ma terials from the room and' lock it up while the cutting and rolling proceed ed. Rules regarding making these articles are very strict and require wiat all persons handling them must wear large aprons and caps and must disinfect their hands. The tables and all places which come in contact with them must be kept spotlessly clean. All who desire to Join the night classes will be welcome as soon as a room is found in which the work may be carried on without interrup tion. Mrs. Hendershott believes she could handle about two dozen help ers. The class would probably meet on Tuesday and Friday nights, al though up to tho present the dress ings have been made in the morn ings. The room is needed immediately if some one can be found who will do nate an empty one. The Red Cross would hope to keep It Indefinitely, if possible. WILL DELAY PICKING NEW COMMISSIONER No county commissioner will be picked to succeed A. L. Mackintosh until the county court receives either a resignation or is informed author itatively of his death. This was de cided nt yesterday's meeting of the court. In addition to nttending to county bills, Commissioner L. E. Smith and Judge Barnes made a trip with C. V. Sllvls and A. H. Horn up the high way south of Bend and found the con struction work pressing speedily. Fif teen teams are now hauling on the road. MORE WATERS BARRED TO TRADING VESSELS AMSTERDAM, Nov. 22.
