The tendency of public sentiment
In the matter or governmental partici
pation' Iu highway development
seems to be dividing on two general
propositions. One Is the cmittnminct.
of the present xystom whereby the
federal government and tho staton
Join together on u co-operative basis.
The other Is tho creation of a federal
hlgjiwny commission which Is to ere.
ulo n national system of hlghwuys and
iiMsume cintrol If It construction nnd
maintenance. Hack of Mils proposition
Is nil extensive propaganda which is
declaring that tho "whole Italian peo
pie comprehend und ncclnlm with Joy
I the high value nnd everlasting slg.
nlllcnuce or the League of Nations."
Tho preparations for tho Presi
dent's return to France have now
been completed. He will sail Wed
nesday morning on the George Wash
ington, after speaking Tuesday night
with ex-Prosldent Toft In New York.
While on route from Washington

Philadelphia, to see bis daughter,
Mrs, Snyro.'nud his new grandson.
Senator Lodge solemnly warned
tho American people to Velgh care
fully the constitution of tho League
of Nations and insist upon a fundl
muntnl revision.
He declared that as tho organiza
tion was now planned It would en

He then made a numbor of specific

That he wouldn't take a million
dollars for the experience he has had
during the past year fighting the
Huns, but that ho now has enough
and a plenty to last him. for some
tlmo to come. Is tlio way Jess Hun
saker feels on hla arrival from the
trenches. Ho came In night before last
and la, a mighty tickled boy to get
home. His experience would fill a
hook and a mighty Interesting one.
Jess was In the first flag Regimcnl
and entered tho battlo line at Chat
eau Thierry on June Twenty-sixth and
was In olevon battles between that
tlmo and the 11th of November. Ho
was gassed twico from vrlch he
has never entirely recovered and had
his shoulder crushod during 'this
period. He was shifted along tho
ontlre front to the Swiss border dur
Ingtho fighting and ended up by the
Swiss bordor, Tho righting in Ar
gonno forcHt was tho bitterest In
which ho participated and tho bloody
scenes there nre Indescribable. He
says the Oermnns nro dirty fighters
and took delight In murdering the
Red Cross workers on the field and
bombing the hospitals. The soldier
Is being wolcomed 'home by a host of
his old time friends.
II. I. Tjcknor was yesterday namJ
as president or tho Langell Valley
Inlgatlon District, which was formed
In Upper Langell Valley a few months
ago -for tho purpose or Irrigating ji
tract of sixteen or elghtecn-thousand
acres or laud in that section from
Clear Lake which is a short distance
south of the California line and wjiich'
lies about seventy feet higher than,
the lands to be watered. - ,
Tlcknor, W. D. Campbell and A.
K. Gale were elected as directors
some time ago and the meeting' yes
terday was to perfect the organization
and start plans for getting to work
as soon as possible. On drawing
lots for the term of directorship. Gale
drew the threcyear termr Campbell
the two year and Ticknor one year.
Archie Wisbard was selected ns Sec
retary for tho organization and Chas.
J. Ferguson as the attorney, The
new body 'will make a call upon the
United States Reclamation Service
for cooperation in getting tbe lands
or the valley under water. It Is
hoped that arrangements can be made
for the glvornment to deliver the
water to the Oregon line as the''
State of course has no right to 'the
California water except thru the Re
clamation Service. The Hoard of
Directors will hereafter .meet on the
first Tuesday of ench month.
The reclamation of this huge tract
or land which Is admitted to be some
oMhe most fertile in this entire sec.
tlon will be a valuable addition to
tho ngrlcultutnl artoa of Klamath
County nnd add immensely to Its
products. Water enthusiasts have
been working unceasingly for the
last ten years" to -bring their lands
under Irrigation In spite of many
back sots and handicaps and it is to
bo hoped that smooth progress from
now on crm be found.
The most enthusiastic gathering
of the Klks Lodge which has met
here for a long time assembled lu.it
night at the temple to greet Deputy
District Grand Kxalted nulcr Charles
H. Durggraf of Albany, who was

. WASHINGTON. D. C, Feb.
Returned soldiers and, sailors who
want farms may have ''their hopes
I realized. If a bill pending before con
gress appropriating IIOO'.OOO.OOO for
reclaiming Und and establishing set.
tlemcnts thereon is passed. So cer-j
tain does the passage of the bill seem

clrculats-gvlng particulars of the
plan and blank applications for land
to be filled In by men who- have been
in the service and returned to Wash
ington D. C.
The scheme Is to have the men who
desire farms to create them from dry
farm land by Irrigation projects, by
clearing logged-'off land or by re
claiming swamp land. The govern
ment will pay ralr wages' for the de
velopment br. ''the projects nnd the
young farmer will be given opportun
ity to develop his farni at the same
time.
The government does not Intend
to give these farms outright to the
men, but -it is planned to. have them
pay for the land in small Installments
covering a long term, of years with
interest at the rate or 4 per cent.
Stock and farm implements will be
furnished oh the same basis.
It is proposed that there shall be
approximately 100 farms In each
project surrounding a town. There
will bo good roads, good schools.
good markets, good neighbors. For
general farming. It is planned divid
ing the projects Into farms of 40 to
80 acres each; ror livestock farms
from 80 to 160 each; for fruit farms
from 15 .to 20 acres each and for
truck gardens from 5 -to 20 acres
