"Private conversations and letters
in the papers indicate some concern

"For many years the problem of se

"The conclusion was soon reached
that somewhere in' the McKenzic
watershed would be found tfle best
source of water for Eugene. The prob

best possible point of intake within

pipe to the reservoirs the line would
need io go to about Yida, and the cost
would be excessive. Since anywhere
below Vida the water would have to

it was decided to make the first unit

give a definite answer before tomor
row afternoon. He is awaiting the de
cision of the national council of the
socialist party regarding their .willing
ness to participate in the new govern
ment. Plan Abandoned
Upon leaving President Doumerf.,
Premier Briand told correspondent
the idea of a IS-liour cabinet which
would ratify the bill authorizing the
Hank of Franco to increase the circu
lation to 4."i.00,000,000 had been
abandoned.
.W. Briund's conference with , th
president enme after a fruitless dajf
of interviews with Individuals ami
groups iu an effort to form a minis
try toduy. The alternative suggestion,
that a provis1onal ministry be formed
to put the Hank of France situation
into proper legal form occupied much
attention but found little support, ei
cept with M. lic.Monzie. lie declared
he felt bound to do his best toward
fulfilling the promises he made th
Bank of France upon becoming
finance minister.
Crisis Brought On.
The crisis was brought on by the
resignation of the llcrriut cabinet
after the senate h.ul expressed dis
satisfaction Willi Hie goverumi'iil'a

termined to have no power bchiiij
the throne and wants to know defi
