IRRIGATION AGAIN.
' ; As the situation surrounding the
coming so-called transfer of the Ir
rigation project of the Central Ore
gon Irrigation company from the
company to the settlers unfolds itself
it appears more and more evident
that the water users, in all probabil
ity, will be Jumping from the frying
pan into the fire.
At least, as matters stand, one is
led to believe that the only tangible'
difference between the present and
the future conduct of affairs will be
that after June next the settlers will
have the privilege of being trinority
. partners in the enterprise, which will
be dominated and conducted by the
same men and interests who now
control.
Such a situation will at least offer
the unique sensation to some set
tlers, whose feeling toward the pres
ent management cannot be called
cordial, of being employers of that
selfsame manager. Presumably, they
will have the privilege of paying
their share of his salary, but won't
possess the perhaps more desired
right of firing him.
This hypothetical situation may be
built upon false promises. Affairs
(nay not be worked out as anticipat
ed. But it is believed they will. The
State Engineer's office thinks so. The
facts of the case, on their face, ap
parently bear out the assumption.
If it isn't so, it will be Interesting to
- get the truth from the company. '
From that side, it is, of course,
well to remember that those in, and
associated with, the company have
large actual investments. With the
possible exception of some contract
ing work done on a sort of family
style by members of the inner circle,
and through salaries and commis
sions which at many times have been
generous, there have not been any
profits. The folks who have their
cash in the project merit protection,
respect and fair dealings.
But so do the settlers. And it lids
never seemed half as easy for them
to get it.
.- The further this matter goes, the
more evident it seems that the right
thing for the water users to do is
to form an irrrigation district. Most
everyone who knows anything about
the project and its problems (ex
cepting the company cJowd, of
course,) advises an irrigation dis
trict. Mr. Laurgaard suggested it.
The State Engineer approves it. At
torneys endorse It. Mr. Dubois' In
structive article in this paper gives
a simple outline of a workable plan.
It does seem as If the big immed
iate problem of the settlers is to
devote all their energies to getting
a districting plan under way. Work
should commence now, if It Is to be
be ready for operation by June. It
is a long involvel task. There will
be plenty of difficulties.
And a word from the Bend stand
point. Too many of us are apt to throw
up our hands when we see some
thing about C. O. I. affairs in print.
We are Inclined to fight shy of It,
because it is hard to wrestle with,
and hard to see just where and how
to help. And the solutions are dif
ficult to recognize.
But from an every-day commercial
selfish standpoint, the citizens of
Bend should take an active interest
in all this. It is mightily important.
In many ways it is the moBt Import
ant present local problem, or oppor
tunity, barring only the Strahorn
railroad. We owe It to ourselves
as well as to our neighbors, the set
tlers to "study up" a bit and to be
prepared to help Intelligently when
opportunity offers.
There are many hundred families
on the irrigated landB Immediately
tributary to Bend. There will be
more. Our local markets mean a
growing opportunity for them. Their
own Increase and prosperity mean
bigger and better business for Bend
merchants. Our Interests are abso
lutely mutual, and mutually Import
ant. The Bulletin Is trying to keep the
irrigation situation before its read
ers, not only because It Is real news,
luit also been u He It Is important eco
nomics. We believe the Irrigation
'"let is the wise plan. But we are
tided to It. We will get be
better, solution, or forward
-red. We have no
no desire to rarikej
trouble. But we do want to help
the settlers, the country and the com
pany, If the. latter will meet the set
tlers and the country half way.
And that, we believe, is a pretty
good platform for the whole com
munity to adopt.

JAPAN HAS CROW TO PICK
WITH t'MTKD STATES AF
TER THE WAR IS OVER
By Ralph H. Turner,
(By United Proa to The Dally Bulletin)
TOKIO, Japan, Dec. 11. Japan
ese approval Is given here tuduy to
the statement made in America by
Baron Sukatani that after tho war
Japan would attempt to bring about
a settlement of her Immigration prob
lem with the United States.
While the Japanese never have
voiced the desire to break tho gen-
telmen's agreement, they feel that It
is a most unsatisfactory arrangement.
With the rise of Japan's power and
her world commerce, the sentiment
that the American ruling is discrim
Inatory becomes stronger. This be
lief that a revival of the question Is
inevitable is expressed by the Toklo
Asahi, regarded by some persons as
the leading newspuper of the cap
ital.
"Baron Sakatani only voiced the
sentiment of the Japanese nation,"
says the Asahi, in speaking of the
Baron's declaration in the United
States. "Wby should the Japanese
embassy have found It necessary to
deny his statement? That the Japanese-American
problem must be
solved was a most representative
opinion for Baron Sakatani to give.
I "The gentlemen's agreement was
not a fundamental solution. It was
only a temporizing method. Baron
Sakatani expressed the wishes of the
Japanese nation that the two coun
tries come to a perfect understand
ing of each other so the issues pent!
ing may be solved satisfactorily to
all concerned."

by working the pedals of a sewing
machine or fretsaw. This trains
and strengthens the ankle. Those
who have lost an otyn, exercise their
fingers by cutting cloth and leather.
Others work a typewriter. From these
preliminary stages the disabled sol
diers will gradually extend their ef
forts to more advanced labor and
thus learn a trade. Some wounded
men require treatment for months.
By the time they are discharged as
cured they will also bg ready to face
the world with a definite purpose In
view.
Training the mainred as they come,
the authorities believe, works both
ways. It is not only to the advan
tage of the men but it will grad
ually diminish the great army of
maimed after the war for whose wel
fare the government will be responsible.
