It Is said that California and Washing ton have had such a law tor several years. Show your progresslreness by voting for this measure and thus help the farmers who wish to form irrigation districts get the necessary support to insure a square deal. THE EDITORS ARB COMING The National Editorial Association Is to visit the west coast next Aug ust. It is predicted that 800 or more editors from the eastern and central states will make the trip. The editors will come west on the Canadian Pacific railway to some point In Washington, possibly Seattle, where they will hold their first meet ing. Portland will be their next top, then dinner at night at Albany, breakfast at Grants Pass (providing our citizens make necessary arrange ments), and then on to Med ford where automobiles will be furnished tor a trip to Crater Lake. Return ing, the editors will atop at Ashland for dinner in the park, after which they will take the train for Portland and return east toy way ot tne Can adian Pacific. The trip will be made over the Canadian railway for the reason that under government con trol special rates cannot be secured over our own lines. Here is a chance for Grants Pass to get thousands of dollars worth of free advertising. The chamber of commerce should get usy at once and make arrangements to -place be fore the editors a "breakfast that will make the bread their mothers used to bake look like Civil War hard tack and the band should be out in force. A hungry man is apt to iwrite in a sarcastic vein, while beau tiful visions float before the well fed and contented. "Peed the brutes and they will toe happy." Southern Oregon will have Port land to thank for the editors' visit. as the pencil pushers had not plan ned the trip to Crater Lake because of the added expense. But here is where the Portland chamber of com merce came to the rescue. They raised a fund of $6,000 to pay for the excursion. If the city of Grants Pass does not care to maKe arrangements for serv mg Dreakrast on the morning of August 11, the editors will break their fast at Medford. When a man shoves the muxxle of a loaded gun in your face and tells you to throw up your hands while he robs you, the chances are he Intends to blow the top of your head off If you try to protect yourself. The fact that you do not resist and he Is not compelled to commit murder Is a poor excuse that extreme leniency should be extended him. It Is hinted that the upkeep on the battleship Oregon will cost the state $20,000 aunually. It the old warrior Is turned over to the state. Wonder if it will toe a white elephant? Evi dently warships are in the Pierce Arrow class. For nerve. Tanker Tomcats have nothing on those fellows trying to cross the Atlantic In seaplanes with faulty engines. The engine in one of the planes balked before the start was well under way. Grants Pass, like other cities, likes to bask In the limelight, but does relish the kind of advertising not staged toy Dolph and Max Lewis. PRIMROSE flD LEWIS FACE (Continued from page 1) two months ago. There I worked in the North Bank shipyards. I met the Lewis brothers about two weeks ago in Portland. They were work ing in Vancouver. I quit the ship yards last Saturday and ' went to Washougal In an automobile Sun day night before dark. We went up to Washougal in an automobile Sunday night before dark. We went to Klinker's, whom I knew slightly, and stayed Sunday night. We went up there fishing and had no idea of robbing the bank until Monday morning. Noue of us had ever been In the bank before. We used our handkerchiefs aa masks. I held up the cashier. My gun was a 32-call-ber automatic. "Last night (Tuesday) In the early part ot the evening they arrested me and tied me up at Bob Warren's house. He ia my brother-in-law. He tied me up my hands and feet. Bob went away and they left a man with a gun watching me. They had taken my gun away and also about $3,000 In money. Pretty soon somebody from the outside shot through the door two or three times. Then he broke In the door and shot again. My guard left. I got up and left the house. 'About half a mile away I met Johnson (Lewis) on the trail. As soon as we recognised each other we beat It toward the river, got a rowboat and rowed across. We came on to this city this morning. Some one said he wanted to speak to me. I walked along with Mr. Gibbons and shot him. I had my gun In my side trousers' pocket. After shoot ing Mr. Gibbons I shot several other times. 'My mind ia confused about my actions after that."

The only possible way to develop millions of acres of valuable land In Oregon is through the creation of irrigation and drainage distrirt or ganizations, which must sell bonds on the district to finance the devel opment. In the past, bond dealers have purchased these bonds for 83 to cents on the dollar, making such uiotuuiu io insure them against default In payment of the interest during the first years of develop ment, and until the land begins to produce crops. Such discounts work a hardship on Irrigation districts. IT the state was to Insure this Inter est for the first few years, bond buy ers would no doubt purchase the bonds at par. ' The state is to consider only feasi ble projects, the feasibility to bo de termined by a board consisting of the state engineer, attorney general and state superintendent of banks. The state Is responsible for the inter est only, and not the principal: The measure, if passed, means much to Southern Oregon as well as other .parts of the state. it was Passed unanimously by. the house Community spirit Is a great builder. The support which Oregon's iudustries get at home strengthens them In their fight for business abroad.
