A bill will be presented to the Oregon legislature this winter asking for an administrative water system In this state. This was assured yes terday at an extended conference between the members of the Oregon Conservation Commission and the various water users of the state. The proposed law will be modelled after that in force inWyomtng.where water rights are adjudicated and determined by a state board of con trol and regulated by the same authority. In the operaton of auch a law, vested rights already adjudi cated by the courts, will not be dis turbed. Under the Wyoming law the state has a board of control by which water rights are established and reg ulated. This board consists of five members appointed by the governor. Appointees on the board must first have passed an examination con ducted by the State Engineer before becoming eligible to serve. When the board has adjusted the rights of con flicting Interests of the water supply In any stream the party dissatisfied with the adjublrcen. has the right within 60 days to appeal from the decision of the board to the courts. The expense of such an adminis tration of the yater system of tbU state is between $20,000 and $25, 000, while the service concerned not less than 20,000 consumers. Under the operaton ol the Wyoming law the longest time required for the adjust ment of any controversy respecting the appropriation of water from a stream was only 18 months, while the system gave very general satisfaction, as was evidence"! from the fact that only Infrequently were appeals taken by either of the rival interests to the courts. - termore Mattresses just price.

The streets of the city are now muddy enough to convince most any one that paving would be de sirable.

There are many things that make Josephine county desirable to home seekers, but one of these often spok en of by newcomers Is the absence of Chinese, Japanese and Negroes. None' of these races have secured a foothold and consequently white men do not have to compete with them. The general land office has made public Its account with Oregon for the year ending June 30, 1908. Gross proceeds from the sale of pub lic lands were $540,881.58. from which amount is deducted the pro rata share of expenses chargeable to the state of $10,849.26, making the net proceeds $517,086.09, of which amount the state ia entitled to 5 per cent or $25,854.30. The stores of Grants Pasa have donned their holiday attire and one would travel far without seeing a more beautiful display than is pre sented In the various windows.
