The Coming Issue There is every probability that the real issue in the background of the next gubernatorial campaign will be the problem raised by the financial fizzle of Oregon's irrigation projects. There is likely to be a concerted effort (o force the state to go to the' rescue of these projects, and avert threat ening district bankruptcy by with state bonds. None of the candidates are, of course, talk ing on this subject or committing themselves, but neverthe less this is the vital issue of the hour. State aid in the form of a reclamation bonds for a term of years, has proven a mistake, for like most paternalism, it has worked to the injury of those it was intended to help. moters to sell the bonds to the investing public at fabulous profit to themselves at the expense of the district. This was all it was intended for, as it to establish the Roosevelt highway. As long as the state continues to advance the interest money, bankruptcy of the districts will be averted, but the state cannot go on putting up forever, particularly as the dearth of settlers prevents any material improvement. The high cost of water, due largely to the frenzied financing whereby the district got 40 cents worth of construction on the dollar, has in many instances, made it impossible to farm at a profit. Large percentages of the district lands are delinquent which raises the cost of operation to a prohibitive figure to those who pay. The Jact that liable with those who fail to, industrious, and makes the It seems impossible, with land included, with the high mako these unsettled and undeveloped districts a business proposition to farmers, without bankruptcy or at least a financial reorganization that will eliminate the inflation. But we can rest assured that the politicians of the regions affect ed, will first plan a raid on the elect a governor favorable to their project. Then and Now The Corvallis Gazette Times calls attention to the fact that the state Board of Control has gone to Philadelphia to secure a superintendent for in the person of J.

It was criminal in 1922 for Olcott to go to Iowa for tin ex pert to head a stale institution, but it is highly commendable for Pierce in 1925 to go clear to Philadelphia for an institution head, whose qualifications, outside of tho fact that he parts his name in the middle, are unknown, Love Greatest Gift Iiy VIOLET DARE LOVE'S THOItNY PATH At tho offico Moiuiny morning Wary looked caKftly for siew.ut Howe, She wondered what ho hail done Saturday tit tor noon, when she had to tay and work, JIad ho koiio . to tho country with women ne else Ho sent for her to inko immo lottern ut ton o'clock, As aho at down InwUlo his desk ho Blanced up with a smile.

"That sounds na it you had an important enptt Kerne nt," he remark ed. "Going shopping?" "Vell,iot exactly." Mary want ed to tell him that she was going to luncheon with Tat Hamilton; no doubt he'd know the name. She wanted to Imprwu him, to make him feel that sue wasn't Just an ordinary girl "I know you're going to Inch eon with an attractive, wealthy, handsome cave man, who'll kidnap you Mary hlunhcd hotly. "So I did gufai right," he tough ed. "Well, have a good time but don't forget me." She wondered what he'd meant tiy that, whether he'd Just been fooling or really did want her to think of him. She was called to the telephone Just then; Pat Ham ilton's voice came to her over the wire. "Hello youngster. Say, I'm aw. fully torn; but 1 can't get awav to lunch with you, Havo dinner with me Instead, that's a good girl." She didn't like his manner of talking to her, aa If he were giv ing orders to an Inferior, "Why, ' "Now, don't flay you can't. I've got to see you I'm going to St. Lou la tomorrow. I'll meet you at tho Diplomat at seven how's that?" She did not have time to reply botore he hung up the receiver. .She went back to her desk slowly. determined not to let the other girla know what had happened. They'd laugh at her, Janet espec ially. She had said she was going to luncheon with a man, and they'd teamed her about having a heavy date. She'd told Janet who the man was, and J;ffiet would tell Hilda, she knew. Oh, well, she could go out by herself, nnd they wouldn't know. Stewart Howe paused beside her dealt a little before twelve. "Still hero? I thought your Rolls ftoyco would havo called for you by thia time," ho teased. 'My engagement's switched to this evening," she answered, smil ing up at him. Oh how convenient. Perhaps you'll lunch with ine then, Instead. How about it? I'll buy you food ut any lunch counter or cafeteria you suggest." But It was not to a cafeteria that ho took her -when she met him at tho street door of the offico build ing at one o'clock; he signalled at taxi-cab, and took her to the grill room of tho Diplomat. She smiled aa she stepped out of the cab; how amusing, and how sur prising that into her workaday life two men had come who took her to tho smartest hotel in town! Settled ut a table by the wall, who glanced over tho menu and then toward the ice ta,ble where nil sorts of cold delicacies were arranged.

' "Know nit the little delicacies that aren't on the menu, don't you?" m ho remarked. The waiter suggested a aalad, and hurried nwuy. Stewart Howe studied Mary through tho smoke ot his cigarette She did not know that he was try ing to fit the new Impression she had given him of herself that morn ing with the one that he had prev iously had, and not exactly liking the later one. She had seemed simple and sweet to him, the kind of girl who would make a man a perfect wife. He had hoped that when she knew him better her feelings might dup licate his. He wanted to marry her his was as bad a caso of love at first sight as a man can have. But because she wns six years younger than he, nnd because the whole office seemed to be so much Interested In their affairs, he had purposely not been so attentive as he would have been to a girl he had met outside his business life. But rtow with her knowledge of the Diplomat, of the smart dunco club which she was talking about at the moment, ot a risque musical revuo to which she had gone the Saturday before, she seem ed a different person. Perhaps he had been wrong about her. Maybe she was like many of the girls who worked In the offices of the big city, girls who liked the bustle and Interest ot a big offico rather than the quiet of home, who spent nil their salary on their clothes and on amusements, who went out every night and had no thought ot anything but their own pleas ure. Mary did not seem like that kind of girl to 4iim, but he could not help wondering about her. And ns she sat, talking gaily about her fun of Saturday even ing, trying to make her life sound Interesting and colorrul. tninKlng ho would bo more attracted It he WAl OLD To That TiiM& FOR 1 ) v nvTHGSTA.Tes; oFPiceRiyv flamk ujith tut sr Nih s r?'- ( .t.. !mi,.v. bj.?- ( . nt 1 .1! mm Mu M.m- m "Fr -mmm$tesm&m :A-:.- Two Sunbeams vtk V . p . ) H : ',& .i . - Suffering from rickets, these Chicago cherubs are being treated under the rays of the big synthetic sun, quartz lights furnishing the rays that cure.. thought she wns not just to stay at home.

The plan is to oil a mile of rend iu each experimental stretch, or five niiles in all. This will give peoplo In every part of the county a chance to see tho experiment in operation and test it out nnd give road districts the advantage ot the experiment It they desire to try It thcms-alvcB in tho future.
