A number of the farmers e the project are becoming Ind'SWU bcause of the band of range '.orsei which persist in feeding at the ha stacks.

The new plan gives more proviso than the original one did and It is not at all unlikely thai the Securities commission will O.K. the bonds. The governor was non-committal; necessarily so, for it is up to the commission entirely, except, of roup o the Influence of the executive has some weight, naturally. The plan submitted by Mr. Oakes calls for a reservoir n' -" ""'fl'sfe'l ost of approximately $100''"00, with a capacity of 46,000 a' re fm I Wn or ill be obtained fro Camas creek, ''able creek and HWswgy Thru a unnei the w.-ter will be conveyed 0 Putter creek a"d down Putter reek to the lands of tlu oro'cf.

Mow lie Did l( A new reporter on a dally paper was aslgned to gather police news, with the customary warning as to the importance of accuracy nnd din ger of libel suits If his statement were not properly ouallfled tl 'he Topwkg Capital, Hi was lo'd that unless facts were fullv proved It wn always safer to make use of such temi as alleged and others similar. It happened to be vacation season ind the newspaper office wr short handed, in an omsrgency 1 i ew reporter was culled on to wrl e up a lOCietv function, and this Is the way 'ie did II : "A woman giving the name of .LC.

The "Devttl" Makes dp It wasn't an Oregon editor but a printer's devil who was going thru Ills first experience on "mnklne e " forms. The paper was late and the boy got the galleys mixed. The first perl of the obituary notice of a pe- GUBiOUS clll.en 'iad been dumped In the forms and the next handful of type come off a galley describing a recent fire It read like this: "The pall bearers lowered the body to the grave and as it was consigned to the BameS there were few If any regrets for the old wreck had been an eve sore to the town for many years. Of course, titers was Individual loss, but that was fully covered by Insurance " The widow thinks the editor wrote the obituary that way because the la mented partner of her Joys and sor rows owed Ii I in five yeurs' subscription.
