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.

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.

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.

DRINK HOT TEA
j FOR A BAD COLD
.-h4 -. -a"M
Oft a mall package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or aa the German folk
call it. "Hamburger Hrutt 'J'liw," at any
pharmacy. Take a t aid espoonful of the
Ua, put a cap of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It Is the mokt
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. AUo loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely, vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.
