On tho reconi mondatlon ot tho committee to which tho franchise had been roforrcd amandmonta, atiortoalng thn period In which tho company may nccept tho grant and netting a tlmo within which work on Ita plant must begin, wero ndoplod. When tho franchise was reached In tho rogulnr ordor of business tho opinion of City Attornoy Fo''e was rend to the effect that tho council had no power to grant the franchise alnco It waa for n private uso and alnco tho city had no authority from Hie atato to grant other than public franchises. II. If. Oe Armond, rep resenting the Flour Mill .company, slated that the franchise waa sought by his client simply ns n business proposition and not out of hostility to tho Ilend Water Light & Power Co. For tho latter company. T. H. Foley eald that ho had offered a rato to tho flour mill lower than It oould firoduco Ita own power for and that f .the franchise wero grantod It would mean a reduction In tbe rev enues of hla company of from 16 to 20 per cent which, under tho rules of tbe Public 8orv!co Commission, would havo to bo tnado up by tho public.

Aa forecasted in Tho Uullotln last week the Federal appropriation for Irrigation In Oregon haa bees elim inated from the Sundry Civil Appro priation bill by tho conference com mittee so that all hopo for the $450, 000 oxpendlturo by Congressional ac tion la lost. News reports from Wash ington dated Saturday tell of tho action of tho committee ns follows: "Tho conference committee on tho Sundry Civil Hill, at a meeting to night, struck out of tho bill Senator Chamberlain's amendment making a conditional appropriation of $460, 000 for a co-operative Doechutcs Ir rigation project "In tbo form In which It was agreed to by tho Senate tho amend ment waa of no value, for It provid ed that nono of tho money appro priated by tlio Federal Government should bo expended until a like amount was appropriated by tho state. Tho Oregon legislature ad journed without making an appro priation for this purposo, and there to ro tho Chamberlain amendment would have been Inoperntlvo ovon If It wero retained In tho bill. "Tho conference commltteo refus ed to modify tho Chamberlain amend ment by removing the conditional clnuso and making It a straight out appropriation for a now Oregon pro ject, especially in view ot the fact that Senator Chamberlain, after or iginally proposing tho amondmont, making an unconditional -appropriation later agreed to have the appro priation made on a contingent basis. Tho conference roport will bo adopted In tho fotm agreed to by the confer enco commltteo tonight, and when that Is dono Oregon will have, lost all chance for at least anotbor year of having a new irrigation project built in tbo eastorn part of tho state."

These aro at widely sep arated points and are expected to provide a good tost of tho capabili ties, of the country. The Commercial Club has voted to provide seed for tho farms and Mr. Lovett will visit thorn at least once a month to give Instructions as to working them. Tho largest of tho farms will bo conducted by A. T. Frnmo at bis homestead at Hampton whero he will farm 40 acres under Mr. Lovolt's supervision. Mr. Frame hna also ad ditional acreage ready for planting and will core for this according to his own methods, thus furnishing an opportunity for comparison on one tract. Tbo other two plats will bo at Ilivers, where J. II. Rivers will care for 10 acres under Mr. LjoYett and nt Mllllean whero Lewis H. Unit will farm 20 acres of the P. H. Johnson placo for half of tho crop. The John son traot Is looked upon as a repre sentative land for that section and a great deal of Interest Is being. taken by tbo Mlllloan ranchers In thn ex periment. To Plant Various Seed. Tho seed to bo planted on tho Johnson and tho Frame places Uj.ear ly Dart wheat, 60 day oats, Hanson barley, spring rye, dry land alfalfa, speltx and awcet clover. Tbo sweet clover seed Is bolng furnished for the Johnson tract by Mr. Johnson himself and waa delivered by Mr. Lovett last week. All theso except tho spring rye and tho sweet clover will lie tried at tho Rivers placo. At tho Commercial Club luncheon on Saturday Manager Do Armond re ported these facts concerning the demonstration farms and a commlt teo consisting ot A. J. Kroenert, II. W. Skuse and Floyd Dement waa ap pointed to obtain the seed for the farms. The commltteo will also con sult with V. A. Forbea aa to gottlng aid from tho O. A.

Other matters dtocuased a1 the luncheon were advertising versos road building aa a means of attract ing tourists and the question of helping the creamery buy machinery for Ico cream making during the coming season. President Keyes stated that better profits for the oreamory were possible In Ice pream making than in using the same cream for butter, and that it would bo ex pecod to repay tho loan for this ma chinery by tho end ot tho summer. A oommlttee consisting of Clyde M. McKay and Robert H. Oould has been appointed to solicit tho loan. No action waa taken In respect to tho road matter. LOANS riVJ
