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

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

make a man a perfect wife. He

her his was as bad a caso of love

But because she wns six years

she was like many of the girls who

The county court has decided to

The court has definitely deter

five sections of the county. The

The plan is to oil a mile of rend

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

will give I he county a chance to

to equip itself with Bonie Bort of
