It has nearby the great California markets that 'buy some 40,000,000 potiiuls of butter produced outside of California. ' 1 - . OUlC(jOX last year contributed about 10 per cent of that amount. Oregon has capacity to produce all of the butter bought Iry California markets from atca's outside' that state.

Mr. Pipes, printed on the front page of the Tribune of Wednesday evening, under the cap tion. "Oak Grove Dalks Plan for Water." We are not disposed to herein criticize the nttltudo of the mayor and the majority of the council toward the salo of water to Oak Grove, nor their final and summary disposition of this matter. However, that tho true status of tills Important subject may bo known to nil. we arc impelled to make the following statement: The "meter" contract Is the only contract ever offered to us for ap proval and acceptance -until the meeting of the council on last Tuesday evening. The organization of our district was based upon this contract, pre pared and offered to us by the city tt-hter commission in Febru ary, 11129, and since that date on file with the secretary of Oak Orovo district, JfJi.N. Culy. 'Our method of financing was de vised to meet tho demands of this contract. The whole program of 'liquida tion of cbsts of 'the system was arranged to conform with tho terms of thic-i said proposed contract. On May 9, 1929. by almost unani mous vote, our people authorized an issue of bonda in a, sum ade quate to finance construction of the system already surveyed., approved and adopted by tho district. 'Furthermore, this contract con forms with the schedule, of rates promulgated in the city's publica tion 'ejitltled, "Regulations, and Rates of Medford's New Water. Supply. 1927." , At Section 3, page 1-1, .of this publication we find the -designation of rates to outside water users. In all essential particulars this contract is nearly Identical with contracts used by tho city of Port land in supplying city . water . to more :than 40 municipal , districts nurroundlng that city. No, we have not been "bluffing." We have acted ' in perfect good, faith and with timely cooperation by the city council, rt'ould have been using city-water for the past 16 months. In our Interview with the mayor last Wednesday morning, we In formed him that we had no nu-thoi-Hy to accept the contract voted by the council lust Tuesday night. We mnde no further comment, W. II.

Deficit: Something the Treas ury department predicts In order to keep congress from .making one. Maybe 25 Texas policemen could clean up Chicago, as that mayor suld, or maybe the linotype omit ted the word "In." Doubtless tho legitimate the atre will climb back after a while When you hit bottom, there's no way to go but up. Russia won't collapse, however, even if her experiment with free aomeohould .full.

There was such merriment and such joy around Santa's shop! t , Santa told them of the glorious letters he had been receiving, and he let them look at many toys. He told them, too, how ho visited Scotland after he visited Norway; John was looking at some boats that -Santa had made.
