IRRIGATION
The Oregon Irrigation congress
which recently closed (our day ses
aion In Portland endorsed three
measures which are of much coo se
quence to this community.
One of these was the Sinith-Chara-twrlaln
bill which provides for the
financing of irrigation and drainage
districts by government funds. This
tlll introduced in the senate by Sen
ator Chamberlain of Oregon and In
the house by Representative Smith
of Maho, provides for the issuance
fey the government of four per centi
certificates of indebtedness to raise
money for construction purposes and
the taking over of the district bonds
to secure the government for the
funds it advances. In order to start
the matter funds are appropriated
from the reclamation fund. The bill
la designed to encourage the de
velopment and construction of mer-
Itorlus irrigation and drajnage pro
jects where organised in the district
form such as the Grants Pass Irriga
tion District.' This district should
t among the first to take advantage
of this act should it pass because it
can easily and quickly constructed,
the land brought into a state of
uifiu iriuuumuu wuiuu IB grBKliy IV
be desired at the present time. .
The resolution supporting this
measure was passed by both the Ore
gon Irrigation congress and the Ore
gon State Drainage association.
Another measure endorsed by the
congress was the immediate opening
to entry and settlement of those Ore
gon and California land grant lands
which He within the boundaries of
irrigation districts. As many Grants
Pass people know there is a large
body of such lands lying close to
Grant Pass under the district and
their undeveloped and unentered
state is one of the difficulties In the
way of financing the project. All at
tempts to get the general land office
to open these lands at once to entry
and settlement have so far been fu
tile. We hope that the department
will heed this request of the united
Irrigation interests of Oregon and If
It doe It will mean great things for
this community.
The other measure endorsed by
the congress was relative to the cer
tification of irrigation district bonds.
The last legislature passed an act
providing that the secretary of state
"all certify irrigation d'strlct bonds
upon the recommendation of a com
mission composed of the attorney
general, the superintendent of banks
and the state engineer. When this
certification is made the bonds are

then mad legal Investment for sav
ing banks, commercial banka and
trust fuud and can be uaed to secure
th deposits of state, county and
school funds In Oregon banks. Th
only trouble with this law has been
that in th administration thereof
the commission has been very con
servative and aa a consequent but
very few Issues havs been certified.
It seems that in placing a valuation
on th property of th district upon
which to base th certification the
commission has given 00 value to
water rights unless they were vested.
Th irrigation congress went strong
ly on record urging the commission
to take a more liberal view of the
ststute to th end that more districts
may hav their bonda certified.
Since certification practically Insures
the sale of bonds It la desirable In
the extreme to have It don. The
Grants Pass district has security
enough that It might possibly obtain
certification under the stricter inter
pretation ot the law but if the com
mission should chang Ita plan of
action to accord with the desires ot
the congress it would make the con
struction of the project doubly sure.
The efforts of the district are now
directed towards th certification of
Its bonds and th work la progress
ing aa fast as weather and economic
conditions will permit.
The success of the enterprise
greatly Increases food production In
this vicinity at a time when the na
tion demands it. It will turn the
balance of trade favorably and giv
a substantiates to the prosperity of
Grants Pass that she has never W
fore enjoyed.
TO
Portland, Jan. 10. It Is probable
that about 45 Oregon physicians will
soon receive commissions as medical
officers in the United States army, as,
a result of the activities of the ex-j
amlnlng board In various parts of!
this state. j
Th local, committee of the na
tional defense council exprew Us
satisfaction that the minimum quota
of 24 new officers expected from Ore-.
gon will be so far exceeded, but Is
also Insistent that many of the
younged surgeons, who are physical
ly fit for active service, should vol
unteer at once If the state Is to ha
properly represented.. The . boa-il
feels that splendid, manner in which
the older men have been ""applying
should shame the younger men from
their comfortable Inaction and from
the Imputation that they are waiting
around to pick up the practice left
by some more patriotic . . physician
who has entered the service.
No more examinations will be
made 'by Captain Fenton and Lieu
tenant Moran, who are again await
ing their orders as members of the
staff of base hospital No. 45 In Port
land. Applicants for commissions
must now apply to the s.irgeon at
Vancouver barracks for an appoint
ment, and will be examined before
him, on proper notice, any day ex
cept Saturday or Sunday.

While tuberculoids la caused by a

There are certain things that nature
demands for building tip healthy bodies.
W must have some nitrogen In th
form of meat or eggs or beans. We
must have some fats, and w must

TO UTILIZE THE SUN'S HEAT.
Why Net Store It In Oil In Summer
and Make It Work Fee Usf
Of course water can l heated only
to the boiling temperature, but tu re
are many liquids that can be heated to
a very much higher temperature than
thin without iKllliitf. I have taken a
tumbler or olive oil and hesited II by
means of a tblu Iron wire connected
with a voltaic battery. I plmed In the
tumbler of oil a text tulip lll'vil with
water, lu 4 short time the water was
boiling, but the oil remained cife-My
quiescent. If you store up hot ii In
stead of water you will have ul your
command it source of heat oWe 10 do
all your cooking and even produce
steam iower to work inucliliicry.
We have plenty of lnut going to
waste In Washington during nle rum
mer tioic. for 1 lie suii'm no a are very
powerful, and we do not iikv liie roof
of our buildings except to keei nff the
rain. What wide exiunv of roof are
available In all our large cities for the
utilization or the sun's rays! Simple
pipes laid up on the roof and contain
ing oil or some other liquid would soon
become heated by the sun' rajs. The
hot oil could be carried Into an In
sulated tank and stored; You could
thus not only conserve and utilize the
beat that falls upon the tops of your
houses, bat effect- some cooling of the
boose themselves by th abstraction
of this beat-Alexander Graham Bel)

BllSfi TEXTILE MEN
GET GERMAN RECIPES
Uindon, Jan. 10. A group of men
in the British textile trad has cap
tured th secret recvlpes of the great
Gorman dye Industry, according to
th Dally .Mall, which displays the
Item under large heads. The re
tellies numbering 1ST, belong to the
great llndlsche work and ar now in
the keeping of a Uinrtnn bank. The
Mall says:
"Th capture Is of first Importance
In the econoralo war against Ger
many and will free the British tex
tile Industry and scores of other Im
portant Industries from th bonds of
Germany. It means -that when the
war la over. England will be In a
position to compete equally with
German dyed gooda In every market
In th world."'
In'ih course of a long story, de
scribing how the receipts were ob
tained In Swltierland, th Mall saya
that th merchants who captured
them have refused tempting offers
from capitalists and speculative ele
ments have been barred from the en
terprise. The merchants Intend to
offer and sell the rernines to the
British government, permitting the
bulk of the profit to go to the na
tion on the understanding that the
dyes will he sold freely to all British
manufacturer! needing them.
