MO DEFINITE plan of action was A ' evolved at last Thursday's meet ing for obtaining the flood control dam at the forks of Balm fork and Willow creeks. Local thought, quite reasonably, desired that irrigation be incorporated as a feature of the set-up. The hitch in such propo sal, as explained by Representative Pierce, lies in the fact that no money is available for the reclama tion or irrigation feature. Money is available for construction of a dam for purely flood-control pur poses. In a nutshell, the only possibil ity of obtaining federal money for construction of a dam or dams, if another feasible location can be found lies in concentrating upon the flood control feature and for the moment forgetting about irri gation. Proceeding upon this course, the first step must be or ganization of a flood control dis trict, which in turn must provide the ground upon which the dam is to be built, assume all liability for damage to property that may re sult and agree to take over the dam's maintenance after construc tion. When this step is taken, and the dam is found feasible, then the federal government through the war department will construct the dam, the estimated cost of which is set at $300,000. This course will procure a rock and dirt dam suitable only for im pounding water at flood times. A3 Engineer Williams put it, a dam suitable for impounding water for irrigation purpose would require a concrete core and facing which would at least double the cost. The only way the war department could proceed on such a dam would be to have the additional cost guar anteed from some other source. And since, as Representative Pierce said. no federal money is available for the purpose, the only recourse would be for the local district to guarantee that part of the cost. It would be a hard job to raise the money locally for the added cost which the irrigation feature necessitates, and the task would be assumed in the face of engineers' assertions that the construction of any dam for irrigation would cost too much in proportion to the re sulting benefits. These facts are not given wi the idea of discouraging any plan for impounding water for irrigation of the Willow creek or other valleys in the county. The reasoning fol lowed from the facta as shown is to assist in arriving at a course which may accomplish something. The big flood of 1903 is still fresh in the minds of many. That catas trophe took 221 lives, a toll not measurable in money values. There was immense property loss as well. On several occasions before and since, other minor floods have add ed to the toll. It may be years be fore another serious flood occurs, and there may never be another of such magnitude as that in 1903. Nevertheless, the flood-control prob lem is of serious enough portent to justify a dam for that purpose alone. Let's go after that which is now possible to obtain. An old adage applicable in this instance reminds, "He who hesitates is lost" Where Lies the Difference? CLIMATE and advertising made Southern California. Or should we say, advertising its climate. So appealing was made its sun shine that eastern millionaires moved to the south land to make their home; well-to-do Iowa farm ers disposed of their farms to bask in its rays. So convincing was the advertiser's story, that now when ever a wisp of cloud floats across the heavens, the weather must be excused as "unusual." Southern Cal was experiencing part of the nation's heat wave on our recent visit there; so the weath er was "unusually" hot But in spite of all the "unusualness" of its weather or as evidence, the fact that its residents so often use the term the advertiser's story has stuck, and there has grown up there one of the leading centers of west ern civilization; in fact, the lead ing center in at least one outstand ing development of modern times the movie industry. A visit to Southern Cal convinces one of the power of advrtising; for, actually, the advertisers had little to offer at the start but climate. It was only after capital was attract ed there by the climate that water was brought to the vast stretches of wasteland and the desert was made to blossom. The capital made possible reaching 200 miles inland to provide the water supply without which development of the city UEMBF THE OBSTRUCTIONIST 1 J SEEMS BE J jy "v. V holoimcj us P MiWv Miss would not have been possible. The same capital made possible the con struction of a seaport where none existed and placed Los Angeles in the roster of the world's leading seaports. That capital performed miracles in engineering and archi tectural development, building a metropolis that attracted the worlds' artists, and inducing establishment of many large industries. The story of Southern , California is not new. Everyone has heard it Yet, all do not understand. Just the other day, one man asked us, "Wherein lies the difference be tween Southern California and Or gon?" He had heard us remark that the attractive things there were man-made things. We attempted to explain that pos sibly the reason man had done more things there than in Oregon was because nature had not done so much; that in Oregon man had not been forced to 'exert himself to get a livelihood. He offered the sug gestion, too, that California was probably settled by a more adven turous class of people, attracted there in the gold rush days. Ore gon was settled by a less venture some people who were willing to take the easy living which the vir gin farm and grazing lands offered. All of which may hold some grain of veracity. But the thing that put sunny California ahead of Oregon, and the only thing for Oregon has plenty of climate minus earthquakes (at least until recently) is adver tising. Every citizen who believes in the principle of "government of the people, by the people and for the people" and who is eligible to vote should register and should vote in November. The registration books are open now, but will close thirty days before the election. Only the ballots that find their way into the ballot-boxes have any effect The American colonists were taxed about a shilling a year, but because they had no voice in levying the tax and spending the money, they went to war about it Forty-seven per cent of the voters of the United States neglected to vote at the last four presidential elections. Tak ing into account all the elections held since the war, not half of the voters est their ballots. In this state, some exceedingly important measures will be on the ballot this fall. You can not afford to fail to express your desires as to these measures. You will want to vote this fall, so register in time. If you are already registered, and have not changed your precinct or your name, you do not need to register, but there is a large number of vot ers not registered. Why not look about your place C . . . i , CI Is t - breed mosquitoes. Oil poured on -..,11 i;n tl.nv. School Finances Improve, Audit Report Shows Morrow county's school finances continue to show improvement, as revealed in the report submitted by C. R. Ham of Pullman, Wash., who has made previous audits of the several districts. While bond and warrant shows no noticeable im provement, receipts and disburse ments for the 1935-36 period indi cate that the dark days of 1931-32 are being gradually erased from the picture. The report shows the total in debtednessbond and warrant as follows: Bond issued prior to this year and not paid, $129,500.00 war rant outstanding, indorsed "not paid for want of funds" issued during the year and not paid, $39,- 239.44; issued prior to this year and not paid, $15,480.88. Total, bonds, $129,500.00; warrants, $54,620.32. The financial statement shows a cash balance (cash on hand as shown by clerks' record at time of making last annual report) of $56,- 333.50. Cash receipts during year: Received from county treasurer from district tax (Including amount paid by treasurer for payment of bonds and interest on bonds) $134, 179.05.

AAA Drouth Adjustments Apply Throughout West Oregon farmers who are still in position to plant late feed crops or who can still harest nurse crops planted on, acres diverted to soil conserving uses may profit by re cent modification of the agricultur al conservation program which has now been extended to the entire western region. Extension officials at O. S. C, who were notified of the change, are of the opinion that it will have little effect in Oregon because cli matic conditions ordinarily make this state too late for changes in cropping practices, but they are passing on the information for the benefit of any who might still be able to use it. The modification originally ap plied only to designated drouth counties in the middle west and south, but they were extended in order to encourage as high produc tion of livestock feedstuffs through out the region as possible. Under the rulings made farmers may grow late fofage crops such as Sudan grass, millets, spring grains and the like on diverted acreage, with out changing its classification and endangering eligibility for soil con serving payments. In a similar manner, farmers may harvest nurse crops planted with clover or other soil conserving crops on diverted acres which, un der the original rulings, were to be clipped and left lie or otherwise disposed of, instead of being har vested for hay. Because of the heavy reduction in livestock feed stuffs in the drouth area proper, it was thought wise to liberalize the requirements in this respect and thus provide extra feed either for shipping into the drouth area or for use of livestock shipped out. The recent federal livestock feed agency established in Kansas City is intended to serve merely as clearing house for information on feed and livestock, and will not ac tually buy or sell feed or livestock nor make loans, the extension ser vice has been notified. It will help farmers and livestock feeders in the drouth area to locate surplus supplies of feed for pur chase at the lowest cost, and will serve feed dealers, farmers and others who have surplus feed or forage for sale by listing such sup plies available for shipment into drouth areas. . The extension serice has no def inite information as to what vol ume such exchanges will assume thi3 year, and suggests that indi viduals or concerns interested com municate directly with E. O. Pol lock, in charge of the federal live stock feeding agency, 755 Livestock Exchange building, Kansas City, Missouri. Continue to Received from all other sources, $2,236.09.
