LUPER HAS HOPE
FOR DISTRICTS
IN THIS STATE
Tlecommendattons to congress by
tht federal reclamation bureau, as
they pertain to several Oregon pro
ject will work out favorably for the
Irrigation Interests of the state in
the opinion of Rhea Luper, state
engineer and secretary of the state
reclamation commission. . Luper
mentioned particularly the Shasta
View project of Klamath county and
the districts under the Owyhee pro
ject.
Relative to the Shasta View Lu-
per said that the bondholders haw
organised and agreed to an Interest
reduction from t to 3 percent for
the next five years, four percent the
following five years, and five per
cent after that.
Also, he said, they have agreed to
a, 12-year extension In the maturity
of the bonds and to accept relund
ing bonds limiiing the liability of
the landowners.
"The bureau's recommendation
probably will be satisfactory," he
said, "for It has been asked only to
extend the time for repayment of
the construction costs through
new contract covering a reduced Ir
rigable area.
"Virtually all warrant holders
have agreed to a reduction in the
face value of the warrants, and if
an agreement can be reached be
tween the government and the other
crdltors the future success of the
project should be assured. The dif ft-
culty has been caused largely by a
lack of colonization, which is lm
possible under present financial con
dltlons."
Luper said there need be no delay
In the development of the Owyhee
project on account of the two Ore
gon projects that will be furnished
water by the government and which
are only a small part of the total
area.
"The Slid; Irrigation district," he
said, "has Issued 100 .000 bonds and
has not operated for six years, be
cause It has been unable to pay the
power .company for electricity. The
Payette Slepe project has continued
In operation, but has had a struggle
to meet operating expenses. Its
bonds have remained in default for
several years.
"It Is Impossible to work out a re
organisation of these two projects
until the government has worekd
out a definite policy."
Lupsr said he was equally inter
ested in the Stanfield. Weetland and
other projects, but that he preferred
to make no comment on them until
he had studied personally, the bu
reau recommendations.

COLLEGIATE DANCE
Superior. Wis., (LP) While tele
grams raced back and forth across

tives, guests at a fraternity dance
here were forced to abandon their
ballroom antics.
The committee of Fcx fraternity
at Superior State Teachers' col
lege had employed an orchestra
vbo&e contract with a promoter
did not mentiou the fraternity.
Local muMrlans objected and the
300 dancers, in tuxedos and eve
ning dress, waited while the argu
ment was thrashed out. President
Joseph Weber of the American
Association of Musicians, wired
from New York that the orchestra,
a negro band, could not Infringe
on lights of local musicians.
When the dance appeared to be
a failure, and the orchestra pre
pared to leave, an enterprising col
lege youth hired each member
aeperately and the dance went on.
The local musicians declared
they would take steps to have the
negro members expelled from the
union.

RETIRED GREAT
LAKES CAPTAIN
CHAMPION LIAR
Burlington, Wis, IP Anton De
lano, retired Great Lakes cpfn.
Is acclaimed the champion 1928
prerarlcator of Burlington. That
title is slanderous to some, but to
Captain Delano, It carries great sig
nificance. When several rears ago Burling
ton's aged citizens vied with one
another for the honor of telling the
biggest "whopper." no rules or reg
ulations governed the contests. In
1922, however, the competition was
placed on an orderly basis. A code
embodying the following principles
was adopted: Contestants must be
at least 70 years of age, they must
tell at least three fibs and they
must be related In ordinary con
versation in the presence of one
or more of the judges.
The winner's "champion lie" was
related only three days before the
close of the 1929 season.
Before I came to the lakes. I
served my time on the seven seas,"
the captain said. "On one voyage
in a bark out of Havre to Boston
we were driven far north by con
trary winds. We passed a lot of
Icebergs, some of them bigger than
the biggest ship I d ever seen.
One day we came upon a school
of whales. There were some of
the biggest of their kind you ever
saw. Even the babies must have
been IS fathoms long. A fathom is
six feet, you know," he explained
carefully.
"But the biggest whale of all
was Just a trifle over three miles
long The listeners interrupted
the narrator with Jeers tinged with
sincere disbelief. The captain grew
angry.
"I know what I'm talking about."
he Insisted. "I measured that,
whale. It was easy. We were mak
ing three knots an hour. I threw
the log over to make sure myself.
At eight bells we were Just even
with his tall. At one bell, half an
hour later, we still hadn't passed
him. Just a trifle after two bells,
one hour from the time we started,
we passed his bead. And that makes
him Just a bit over three miles long."

SWEDEN ADOPTING
AMERICAN CUSTOMS
Stockholm (LP) The gradual
Americanization of Sweden is no
ticeable everywhere In the country,
but is most pronounced in Stock
holm. The citizens of the capital
like American novels, magazines,
dramas, musical comedies and the
motion pictures.
The advent of the "talkies" had
a distinct effect upon the everyday
language, and such typical American
slang phrases as "All right, kid,"
O.K.," "Hello, baby," "So long" or
"Howdy" are heard frequently.
Daily life also Is Influenced by
American habits in foods and
clothing. Grapefruit and orange
Juice are served for breakfast
while "hot dogs" are sold all over
the city. Shoe shine parlors are
springing up in many places and
even American soda fountains arc
found here and there.
American suits and hats, toilet
preparations, office appliances, au
tomobiles, chewing gum and cigar
ettes find Increasing numbers of
buyers, while records of Broadway
melodies are played in homes and
music stores.
Even Rotary Clubs have been
started in several cities.
