Eastern newspapers are reporting a sugar shortage which amounts to a real famine. Not only has sugar been scarce but in many instances it has been absolutely impossible to se cure it. In some restaurants the expedient has been adopted of using saccharin, a coal tar derivative, in coffee, tea and cocoa, though it has no food value and is injurious to di gestion. Here are three paragraphs from a Boston newspaper which give some idea of the situation: "Excitement was occasioned in Dorchester yesterday at a Harvard street store when a crowd of more than 200 persons, gathering as a re sult of a rumor that a large quantity of sugar was to be placed on sale, became demonstrative when told that there was no sugar in the store. A telephone call brought a squad of patrolmen, and the gathering was quickly dispersed. "Another demonstration occurred at Randolph. A store there had an nounced that a limited amount of sugar would be placed on sale be tween 5 and 6 p. m. Approximately 350 persons -went to the store, and several panes of glass were broken. "Mayor Whiton. of Quincy, has a si",-, rev ,,: .u.::r :v, i mate $340,000,000, including dren or sick ones for whom sugar is! $175,000,000 for constructing a d needful.

COMMITTEE REPORT OX TCMALO PLAX IXTKRESTS (Continued from Page 1.) each,' I would have to be increased at least Here, on the west coast, we have 25 par cent, making a total of $425,- known nothing of this famine but to read of its existence in another part of the country ought to act as a spur to those of us who have not yet fully realized the meaning and the need of food conservation. Ia France only a pound of sugar per person is used monthly; In the United States in the same time seven pounds are used. We do not know how much is used in Bend, but we venture the asser tion that we are much nearer the American than the French total. ' What we do now can not affect the present situation. It is too late for that. But our saving now may provide sugar for some child in the east or even here when w- approach the next shortage. Sir Julius Byr.g commanded the BritiBh in their successful assault on the Minderburg line. Byng binged 'em, as it were. The Hindenburg line seems to be one of the routes to Berlin.

DISTRICT VALUE IS OVER TWO MILLION Increase in the assessed valuation of the local school district by over $300,000 more than last year's valu ation is Indicated in an announce ment made by County Assessor Mul larkey yesterday. According to Mr. Mullarkey, this year's valuation, Hot point Electric Iroiis, $3.00. The Power Co. 000, cf which the canal itself would take approximately $220,000. "We do not pretend to pass on these estimates, nor upon the feas ibility of the project as a whole. All we can do is to rely on the reports of engineers qualified to do S3. For this purpose we have referred to the re ports made' by the co-oparat!ng offi cers of the State of Oregon and the Reclamation Service, dated Decem ber, 1914. Most of you will remem ber that in that year thestate and the United States Reclamation Service each appropriated $50,000 for a sur vey of this region, and one of the ob jects of the investigation, to use the words of this report on page 19, was 'the providing of storage (a) in a reservoir on Deschutes river Just above Benham Falls, as earlier co operative work, referred to above, bad disclosed the possibilities of stor age by a dam located just above the falls; (b) in a reservoir at Crane Prairie; (c) in a reservoir at Odell Lake; (d) In a reservoir at Big Marsh.' To make a long story short, this investigation resulted in nothing very definite on these points, and we quote again from the same report on page 102, as follows: " 'As a practical consideration af fecting the selection of a storage res ervoir in a region such as this, where the formation is adipittedly fissured and cavernous and where heavy un derflows are known to exist, It mu3t be recognized that there Is an element of chance in any of these surface de pressions, termed reservoir sites. forming tight reservoirs. " 'It is impracticable to determine these matters by examination or ex periment. All that can be relied on are results, achieved in reservoirs in PILOT BUTTE INN other volcanic regions huvtiig similar characteristics.' "Now, It is admitted by those who have Invest Igated the subject that the geologic formation .underlying all of this country from north of Tuniiilo reservoir to south of Crime Pralrlo Is almost monotonously uniform. At the time the a hove quotation was written, tho Tumalo reservoir hud not been completed, but In the light of experience since, It must be as sumed that If this' reservoir cannot ho made to hold water then there Is little hope of finding a water-tlgbt basin iirbovo llenhnm Fulls. Tho prop osition appears to us to paraphrase tho luuguugo of a famous poet, 'like flying from those ills wo have to others that we know not of. "We do not wish to take tho stnud of objecting to any scheme of Irri gation which appears feasihlo nnd practicable, and wo should heartily Indorse appropriation of funds for making tho present Tumalo project a success it possible. As the mutter now stnnds, enough water Is now go ing to waste In the Tumalo drnltutKO area sufflclonT to irrigate approxi mately 24,500 iicres see pages SO and SI of the co-operative report and every effort nnd means should be oxhnuatod to conserve that witter bo fore attempting to divert witter from another druliuige nreu Into It. "Some success has already been ob tained In Healing up I ho leaks In the main Tumalo reservoir, nnd In our opinion, (his work should bo contln tied us fast us pi'itctlcublu until It Is definitely proven whether Iho whole reservoir can be sealed up or lint. This work cult bo done ttt compara tively small cost, say $10,000 or so per year, and (he Healing of (he leaks can bo done progressively and the reservoir used as fast and (o (ho ex tent they nro closed up; nnd the re sult will bu known consequently np- proxlmiitely us fast as tho money Is expended, "On the other hand, to securo uny water whatever from tho Deschutes river would require, a. .'-'ding to (ho sponsors for this scheme, approxi mately $425,000 before anything would he known us to Its success. Furthermore. It seems nn economic' waste to spend $225,000 on a cunnl to divert witter from tho Deschutes river to another wnter shed when (here Is abundant use for Its entire flow.
