A BILL that faliould receive farnLlc 'consideration at the hands of 1rif jnrr'M.ilurc is that introduced lv 11' 'l'l . ill I II li.tl.tv I I.' iiCprcKciuauve i nomas or .tai Kson tit. jj. .sin;, declaring any dam in state ot! unrepair to lie a public nuisance. The bill is designed to force the repair or removal of t he Anient (( ioldcii I i-i ft ) dam near (irants Pass, which, in its pres ent slate, is a menace to llie people of the lower valley, likely to go out at the first high water, and one of the main causes of r fishing because of defective fishways con stant ly out of repair. This dam was constructed as a swindle and has been perpetuated as a fraud. It was built for a fraudulent get- rich-nuick mining scheme, nearlv a score of vcars ago, and served its purpose when it enabled its promoters to realm a fortune from the sale of mining stock, and since then utilized to sell more stock in irrigation and power schemes. The dam was supposed to furnish water and power for ail.j.u cut placer ground, lint the placers petered out and the coiupanv went bankrupt. Some responsible and wealth v persons had been "stung" and another promoter affected a reorganization of the stockholders after years of idleness and projected an irrigation district to be watered. power to be generated bv the dam. Securities were sold and construction work started. 1 u 1 he course of time this scheme also collapsed, and an otner reorganisation was el leered, tins time bv merging the stockholders and creditors of another busted company a high-line irrigation and power concern, that had it flow ery prospceius and tilings on the upper Ivogue and a small plant at (Sold Hill, with the defunct irrigation company creditors, lionds were sold in the Cast, the dam repaired and construction work for power and irrigation again be gun only to again collapse, with creditors' plasters and workmen's liens upon the dam as thick as the planks. 'The dam had been constructed with an adjacent fish way through the center, and proved an effectual barriel to the ascent of fish. The master fish warden, II. C Mc Allister, in 1900 constructed a permanent fish way on tin south side of the dam costing ,!!(M)t), taking receivers' cor- tificates for pa v, the concern being in bankruptcy. This fishwav only partially solved the problem, .being located on the wrong side of the stream to attract the i'ish though still in operat ion at certain water stages. Jn 1912 overnor West, and the state game and I'ish commission secured an order .of court for the construction of an adequate fishwav on the north side of the dam, ad vancing the nionev tor const ruction trout the commission s funds, some $2500, taking a lien upon the dam. Hut the repair work on the dam has damaged the intake of this new fishwav so it renuires constant attention or does not work. The state has already some $(1000 or .fTOOfi invested in this worthless structure, which should either be perma nently repaired and used or destroyed as a menace to tlu lower valley. THE REWARD OF This Is a very peculiar subji rl to essay on. but H is like spraying trees, it is nei i-s.uy.

NOT VERY PATRIOTIC QKXATOU LANK of Oregon does not appear in a very tavorable or patriotic light as the only dertiocrahc senator who failed to vote for the resolution approving the president for his diplomatic break with Germany. In ;i speech shortly before the vote was taken, he opposed the president's action, declaring that the United States should not go to war, but mind its own business, and that Americans should not venture into war zones except at their own peril, tie is (pioted as saying: "There is as much reason to sustain an American who wishes to walk between the trenches on the Kuropean battlefields as to sustain one who wishes to travel in the high seas war one. There is absolutely no comparison between the battle field and the sea, recognized as the world's highwav. The citizens of the I'nited States have every right on the sea as guaraniceu nv ireaiv and nucrnaiionai law, ami no rights at all in the t ivnchcs. Mr. Lane explains his dodsrinir a vote as due to the fact i that lie was locked out when he went out on a veranda to get a breath of fresh air alter making his speech, and that the vote was taken while he was out. Otherwise, he Would I have voted against the measure. Vet Mr. Lane must have known that a vote was near. and also been laniiliar wit h the rules of the senate. How ever, his action in this matter are along the lines of his record in the senate nothing for his constituents to be proud of. FORD OFFERS 10 LOAN FORTUNE TO UNITED STATES XKW YOIiK.

Kord declared his belief in the "baby submarine" and said he would stake his reputation as n manufac turer as to .success of the little under sea craft. We asked if it was not worth something to the government to have handy a plant capable of tarn- in": out thousands of automobiles each day, each capable of t ransportmir ten soldiers. 'Think I hoy could transport some soldiers?" he inquired. 'The other day I noticed n lot of flas flying. A rood many seemed to he from bank building.
