Actual work on the engineering
features of the great John Day pro
ject are under way according to a re
port made by John H. Lewis, former
state engineer, and at present enir
ployed by the John Day directors to
make a preliminary survey of the
high line project with a complete re
port as to acreage, cost of construc
tion, available water supply and all
-.. other matters coming within the
j scope of engineering and construc-
, toion problems.
Jlr. Lewis attended the regular
monthly meeting of the directors last
Tuesday evening and from the report
made at that time it is learned that
already three gaging stations have
been established cn the John Day
l iver, one at Clarno, one on the mid
dle fork and one on the south fork,
at the proposed reservoir site near
Dayvile. Daily measurements are be
ing made at these stations in order to
determine the flow of water in the
stream.
H. B. Schminky, an employe of
the firm of Lewis & Clark, has been
at work at the court house here for
a couple of weeks preparing a pres
ent ownership map of all the proper
ty involved in the district, which is
tin important Hem In the preliminary
work of getting the project properly
under way.
To Mr. F. C. Dillard, who is also
connected with the firm of Lewis

R. D. Cooper, formerly connected
with the state engineers office, has
been put In charge of the field work
and as soon as Mr. Dillard has com
pleted his studies and hns decided
with Mr. LewlH on what seems to be
the most practicable route for the
canal, active field work will begin.
Hon. C. E. Woodson, of Heppner,
was appointed a member of the board
of regents of the University of Ore
gon last 'Wednesday to .fill the place
made vacant by the resignation of
Judge Bean, of Portland.
The appointment came as a sur
prise to Mr. Woodson who had no
inkling of the appointment until the
Oregonian reached Heppner Thurs
day evening.
Mr.' Woodson received a telegram
during the day from an old friend
who is a member of . the University
faculty offering congratulations with
out specifying what for and the
Heppner man was some puzzled be
lieving that his friend must have
been affected with the heat.
Judge Bean had been a member of
the board of regents since 1882.

Farmers in the Condon country
have formed an organization for the
purpose of cooperative marketing of
their wheat crop and have selected
O. B. Robertson, former cashier of
the First National Bank of Condon,
as manager of the pool. Already
more than 300,000 bushels have ben
definitely listed and it is expected
that around 1,000,000 bushels will
be handled in. this manner during the
Of present season. The wheat will be
graded and the different gades put
on the market in sufficiently large
pools to attract big buyers and se
cure the best prices. Mr. Robertson
is a live wire and the farmers of Gil
liam county feel that they have the
right man for the job says the Globe-Times.

Washington, D. C. Assurance of
an adequate supply of coal to meet
all domestic requirements during the
coming months, was given, today by
George H. Gushing, managing direc
tor of the American Wholesale Coal
association, who declared in a state
ment that reports of an impending
coal shortage were unfounded. The
public, he said, is panic-stricken
without reason or excuse.
"There is no shortage of coal", Mr.
Cushing stated. "There Is no danger
of any such shortage. Therefore,
there is a reason, but no excuse, for
the current high prices in the open
market. The reason is that we have
had too much govermental agitation
of the danger of a famine."
Mr. Cushing declared that for the
past 8 months "there has not been
a day or even an hour when some
governmental agency was not agltat
Ing about1 coal and predicting a coal
famine." "Prices", he said, "have
reached the highest peace-time level
in history, because those who need
coal are 'frantically bidding against
each other In every market."
Declaring that lie had Investigated
nearly every alarmist report, Mr
Cushing asserted that "not one of
them will stand scrutiny or analysis
He predicted that the consumption
of bituminous coal during the "coal
year" beginning lust April 1, won) 1
not exceed 535,000,000 tons 10,
288,000 tons a week.

State Commercial Body Would Raise

Woi'k.
P. E. Magruder and S. C. Haight,
representing the Oregon State Cham
ber of Commerce, were here yester
day confering with commercial club
officers and business men with refer,
ence to putting on a drive lor Mor
row county's quota of the $450,000
promotion fund desired by the state
chamber for carrying out its- program
of state development.
The drive is supposed to be put
over during the present month but
local Benl""1 Mirit was strongly against
such a move at this time advising
that the matter bo dropped until
September or October.
While local people are disposed
to back the state chamber In its de
velopment work realizing that the
help of the state body is needed in
our own reclamation project they con
sldered the present time Inopportune
for any attempt at raising money but
all expressed a willingness to help

The Legion hopes to make the event
of November 11 tlio crowning feat
ure of the greatest of all Armistice
Days the most Impressive and me
morable patriotic function in which
Americans ever participated and one
disigned to live In history as an
epochal milestone in the nation's life.

United States Senator George E.
Chamberlain has: returned to his
home in Portland for an extended vi
sit and rest alter having been almost
continuously on duty since he took:
his Beat as senator from Oregon in
1909.
For several years Senator Cham
berlain has been chairman of the
senat committee on military affairs
which was one of the most. Important,
congressional committees just prior
to and during the world war.
Upon his arrival atPorlland, whero
it is said he was greeted at the depot
by several grandchildren, born sinco
his last visit to Oregon, Senator
Chamberlain gave out a statement
to t ho press in which he heartily ap
proved of the Democratic platform
and candidates of the San, Francisco
convention and spoke of Oregon's
needs and accomplishments.
Speaking of Columbia river im
provements the senator said:
"It seems impossible to convinco
naval authorities that (hero is no
longer a bar at the mouth of tho Co,
lumbla river; that the river is navi
gable the whole way for ocean-going
vessels. We advise tho authorities
today and they forget it tomorrow,
so that it is of great interest to our
state that the attention of 1 lie author
ities be constantly directed to tho
river and its mouth. I try to do this
but I find It hard work.
"The same may be said of the oth
er ports along the Pacific coast whero
the people have lavishly expended liu
mense sums to assist the government
in harbor Improvements.
"A number of things have been ac
complished In the way of legislation
that will be of great advantage to
the west. The shipping act ought to
assist in the development of the stntu
Portland, at. least, ought to have ono
of the seven representatives on tho
board, and If attention can bo direct
ed to the necessity of this, rather
than the candidacy of any Individual,
there Is n possibility that Oregon
may be recognized in this connection.
"Another act which will be of great
benefit to Oregon mid the whole of
the northwest, is tho water power
measure, which at the last moment
was approved by the piesldent. II is
