MAKE BENHAM FALLS SURVEY

tive of the U. S. reclamation service

mercial club wired today to Direc
tor Davis ot the reclamation service
In Washington, D. C.
In earlier communications it has
been Intimated that an expert from
Washington would come to this
district about the first ot the present
month but later It was learned
through the delegate Bent to the na
tional capital that the age ot the
expert selected made It Impossible
for him to start work during tad
weather. Secretary Lane requested
that a younger man be picked for the
Job In order to hasten the prelim
inary work for the development of
the Deschutes Irrigation project, but
the fact that no U. S. Geological sur
vey man has appeared here Indi
cates that this advice has been
disregarded.

(Br United Pra to Th B.nd Bulletin.)
BERNE, March 27. Bolshevist
uprisings are imminent in Austria
and Czechn-Slovakiu, according to
advices received here. Any move in
these countries against the Hun
garian soviet government Is expected
to precipitate trouble.
Following is the first direct dis
patch received In the United States .
from Hungary since the Bolsbevlkl
government was established la Buda
pest. It contradicts the reports that
allied representatives have been mis
treated, that Hungary has declared
war on the entente powers, or that
there has been bloodshed.
By Edward Ding
(Copyrighted. 1919. by the United Preee.)
BUDAPEST, March 27. The Hun
garian soviet government Is firmly
established, without disorder or
bloodshed, and with amicable rela
tions continuing with the representa
tives of the allies. Ail aliens, in
cluding allied soldiers, are at liberty,
and the popularity of British and
American officers has not dimin
ished. Everything in the country has been
socialized, from the army down to
baths. This reorganization has been
accomplished with the apparent ap
proval of the wealthy and aristo
cratic, as well as the poor and
bumble.
A Red army has been organized on
a purely volunteer oasis, ine sol
diers are paid $90 a month and are
clothed, ted and equipped without
charge. In addition to receiving extra
pay for the support of their fam
ilies. Indications point to the formation
of the largest and most contented
army In the history of the country.

EXPLAINS ORIGIN
OF HORROR STORIES
Tales of Awful Conditions at Brest
Largely Based on Rumor and v
Imagination, It Is Shown.
I
By Fred S. Ferguson
(United Pr Sttflt Correspondent.)
PARIS, March 27. Judging from
reports drifting back to Kurope,
America is now getting all the thrills
of tho old "blood-curdling" stories
that have been dr'tlng around
France for months and some of
them for years through returning
soldiers. They are the product of
one of the .greatest rumor factories
the world over saw the allied
armies.
The stories of the "horrible" con-
ditidns at Brest, and of many men
dying there, are probably traceable
to this curious feature of army life.
Most ot tho stories which were so
glibly Bpun to New York reporter
probably originated on the boats en
route to America. One man heard
another tell someone of what some
one .else had told him, and by thn
time tho boat docked everyone on
board was probably convinced that
men were "dying like flies" at Brest.
