IRRIGATIONISTS CONVENE
Urge State Guaranty o f B onds for N ew
P rojects W ith Cheap M o n e y -
R ural Credits Included.
Portland — Co-operation among all
lntareata affected in Irrigation enter
prise* and government and state guar
antees o f interest on bond issues are
the features on which are centered
the deliberations o f the F ifth An
nual Oregon Irrigation congress, in
session here this week The Jones bill,
whieh proposes to provide for govern
mental underwriting
o f irrigation
bonds, w ill be an active issue. A sen
timent to promote the movement pro
viding for an initiative law to get the
state to make guarantees also was evi
dent.
E. G. Hopson, consulting engineer
fo r the United States
reclamation
service, spoke in behalf of a movement
to put irrigation enterprises on a
firmer basis than they have occupied
under the Carey act. More co-opera
tion among state, Federal and individ
ual interests, and to establish the con
fidence of Eastern investors in irrig a
tion enterprises, he said, were prime
necessities. He said Western irriga
tion enterprises needed to be popular
ized in the minds o f Western people,
as well as Eastern investors.
He de
clared he believed few enterprises
henceforth would be developed by pri
vate capital.
“ Congress w ill g ive aid sooner when
it feels that the Western states are co
operating dollar for dollar,” he said.
Governor James W ithy combe spoke
In a similar vein on co-operation and
urged the reduction of overhead expen
ses in handling projects.
“ The land must be made available
for the man with $500 as much as for
the man with $6000,” he declared.
The Oregon Irrigation congress sub
stantially committed itself to this line
o f action in the unanimous demonstra
tions that followed the recommenda
tions of Senator I. N. Day and other
speakers before its second day meet
ing.
L. A. Hunt, o f Low er Bridge, said
that a resolution embodying this idea
bad already been prepared and submit
ted to the resolutions committee and
w ill be introduced in the report o f the
committee.
It was Senator Day’s address that
crystallized the sentiments that have
been expressed since the beginning of
the congress and directed them into a
definitely indicated line o f action.
Plainly and unequivocally he de
clared himself in favor o f state guar
antee of irrigation and drainage bonds,
and in favor o f the enactment o f a law
providing for the establishment o f a
system o f rural credits.
" T o secure cheap money for the de
velopment of irrigation and drainage,”
he said, “ the security must be ample
and the payment o f interest sure.
This can be secured only by either the
nation or the state standing back of
the projects.
“ Why w ait action o f
congress?
Why not unite with the farmer of
Western Oregon and put the state
back of the bonds? The bonds, to get
the United States back o f them, must
be good; then why, i f the bonds are
good enough for the United States, are
they not good enough for the state?
“ When you have brought water to
the land, you must have a man to farm
it, and how is he to get and pay for it?
He cannot pay for discounted bonds,
high interest charge and short-term
payments.
“ Before any progress ran be had ih
that direction, some system o f farm
credit must be adpoted which w ill ad
m it o f his purchasing on long term,
easy payments.
“ Rural credits are essential to the
success of any irrigation scheme on an
extensive scale.
“ W e have Eastern Oregon asking
for aid for drainage, and both wanting
cheap money.
W e have many men
seeking homes.
Why not unite all
these and seek relie f through the bal
lot?
“ Why not put the state back of
these projects?”
Mr. ,Day agreed with the other
speakers at the congress that the
Jones bill providing for government
barking o f irrigation projects is an ex
cellent bill and expressed the hope
that it way be passed by congress.
“ But i f it fa ils ,” he cried, “ are you
members o f this Irrigation Congress
going to let even another year elapse
before taking steps to secure the relief
that the situation demands?
“ The thing to do is to stop marking
tim e and get into a united campaign to
carry through tbs measure which, by
insuring state backing o f the projects,
w ill make possible the development
immediately of the Irrigation and
drainage projects o f the state.”
J. T. Hinkle, who preceded Mr.
Day, bad touched upon the apparent
lack o f public sympathy with the irri
gation movements, and the failure o f a
bill embodying much the ideas ad
vanced by Mr. Day to be carried in the
last election by a referendum vote.
Mr. Day replied to this by asserting
that public sentiment has to be edu
cated. and that if the irrigationist* let
a single set-back stop them they w ill
never get what they are after.
O. C. Leiter, secretary of the reso
lutions committee of the congress, ad-
dr ess eu publicly before the congress,
questions to Mr. Day, C. C. Chapman
and Mr. Hinkle.
He asked Mr. Hinkle i f the bill he
had mentioned had been supported by
an active campaign, to which Mr
Hinkle replied negatively.
He asked
C. C. Chapman i f the Chabmer o f Com
merce would favor any kind o f a meas
ure providing for rural credits and
state guarantee
o f irrigation and
drainage bonds, and i f before the ad
journment o f the congress the Cham
ber would indicate the nature o f a bill
it would lend its support and indorse
ment.
Mr. Chapman,
while
expressing
doubt that the Chamber would g ive a
hasty decision in favor o f any resolu
tion the congress might see fit to
adopt, believed that it would g iv e the
most careful consideration to any
measure proposed and take the posi
tion which seemed best for the State
o f Oregon at large.
He said that he believed the Cham
ber would not indorse the measure un
til the form of the bill* proposed had
been submitted to it.
O. Laugaard asserted that he had in
formation from officials o f the Cham
ber to the effect that it w ill probably
support any action taken by the con
gress, but recommended that the bill
be prepared first and then submitted
to the Chamber for its indorsement.
The responses o f Senator Day to in
quiries from Mr. L eiter brought out a
definite outline o f procedure whereby
the measures might be passed by the
people o f the state o f Oregon.
Mr. Day urged that a joint commit
tee, composed o f representatives from
the Irrigation congress and farmers of
the W illam ette valley interested in
drainage, granges and Farm ers’ un
ions, be organized to prepare a draft
o f bills providing for the state guaran
tee o f bonds and the development o f a
system o f rural credits.
This committee would also circulate
petitions to put the measure on the
ballot and raise, by soliciting subcrip-
tions, a fund o f $5000 to conduct the
campaign in its behalf.
" W ill Mr. Day help such a move
ment financially and personally?”
asked Mr. Leiter.
“ Whether the measure be adopted
or not, whether the people pass the
bill or not, I am for this measure,”
replied Mr. Day.
“ I am w illing to go in, i f the move
ment is initiated, and g iv e to the sup
port o f the bill all the tim e and means
I am able, to carry it through.
The
man who wants to take up a measure
for the benefit o f the state until he is
certain o f sucress immediately is of
little use, and I would just as leave
pioneer this bill as any other that
means the development o f Oregon and
the bettering o f the conditions of liv
ing fo r its citizens.”
The whole attitude o f the congress
during the discussion was intensely
enthusiastic and, while the movement
in support o f the Jones bill w ill go on
probably as powerfully as ever, the
disposition of the congress, as a result
o f the session, appears to be to pro
ceed along the lines o f state aid at the
same time, so that if the Jones bill
fails, it still w ill have a definite and
constructive program to carry forward.
The principal resolutions w ill prob
ably be those indorsing the Jones bill,
and urging the organization o f a cam
paign for the proposed state measure.
The engineering and legal phases of
irrigation development were consid
ered at the morning session, the prin
cipal speakers being Judge Carroll S.
Graves, of Seattle; Attorney General
G. M. Brown, and L. M. Rice, irriga
tion engineer, o f Seattle.
O. Laurgaard spoke in the afternoon
on “ Is the Irrigation District a Solu
tion o f the Problem'” ’ and he also
gave a brief report o f the m eeting of
the International Irrigation congress
in San Francisco December 2 and 3.

Tacoma’s Apple Crop Nearly Gone.
Tacoma — Home-grown apples are
about gone for the season, say local
commission men.
Supplies on hand
now are going at a better price and
this increases the sales o f Eastern
Washington apples, which were held
back earlier in the season because of
low prices o f the home product. The
crop o f local apples was a good one
this season and many apples were sold,
the dealers and growers both benefit
ing. Eastern Washington apples hold
steady.
Grapes are reported gone for the
season. The holiday trade cleaned up
what supplies were on hand and deal
ers say the weather is too cold now to
bother with such a commodity. This
season saw more grapes sold on the
local market than ever before. There
were many varieties offered and all
were o f an exceptional quality that
was maintained throughout the season.
One of the features o f the season was
the way in which the grapes were
packed for the holidays, some coming
in cork-packed kegs and others in lug
boxes.
Vegetables with the exception of
the root varieties are gone and there
is no damage to be expected from cold
weather. Shipments of tomatoes from
C alifornia
are
becoming smaller.
Sweet potatoes are arrivin g regularly.

Ban Francisco.— Life, limb and prop
erty paid tribute here Sunday night
to a storm said by the weather bureau
officials to be the severest that has
visited San Francisco for 27 years.
Seventy-five miles an hour was the
velocity o f the wind at 5 o'clock o ff
Point Reyes, and 60 m iles an hour o ff
Point Lobos, one o f the portals o f the
Golden Gate.
Henry Chllson, o f Los Angeles, was
killed here by the storm. Chllsoir and
his w ife came here to visit the fc’an-
ama Pacific exposition and were to
have returned to Los Angeles.
,He
was knocked down by a falling ad ver
tising sign, suffered a broken spine
and fractured skull and died half &u
hour later.
Numerous Injuries w ere reported
from flying signs and other debris
blown loose by the howling southerly
gale.
The wind was especially severe on
plate-glass windows, more than 100 of
which were reported as having be-eu
blown in. One window, on the 17th
story o f an office building, was blown
from Its frame and stuck like a jack
knife In a door at the opposite side of
the room.
The storm kicked up a heavy sea
on San Francisco bay and ferry traf
fic was maintained with dlflflcuity. In
several cases whole seas swept the
lower decks o f the ferryboats, and
many of the passengers became sea
sick and others engaged themselved In
prayer.
Several coasters that tried to p i#
to sea turned back after getting a
taste o f the wind’s velocity outside
the heads.
T h e property loss caused by the
storm Included the destruction o f an
nntenanted two-story frame apart
ment house, which collapsed under the
pressure o f the wind. There were no
casualties.

Tacoma— Fresh Washington cream

weeks for repairs are again in opera
tion. The demand is steady and no
further change in prices is expected
