The company'a local office baa no reason, to advance for the audden cessation of construction. J. II. Carnaban, commander of the local legion post, stated belief that protect of tho logton, forwarded re cently to the department of the In terior rfnd atato and national legion headquartora were responsible. When Senator Chamberlain waa hero recently Mr. Carnaban took him over the ground ana voiced me leglon'a objections. The senator Inv mediately wired Secretary Payne Representative SIAnott alao wired Payno. J. C. Thompson, division manager said thla morning that the local of flco knew nothing of tho reasona be hind the order to quit. They were obeying orders from San Franclaco and handing out pay checks aa faat aa the men came In. "The payroll, about $800 a day, and camp aupplles, which ran about $200 a day more, meant $1,000 a day. most of which was in circulation here," aald Mr. Thompson. "All of the aupplles were purchaaed from local merchanta and much of tho pay roll waa spent here by the men." The work had advanced to a point where much of the foundation vatlon waa done, and aeveral piers are completed. In bla telegram to Secretary PtntJf W" t0 "I" - "" " th" E copies of which were aeat to tho na- tloaal and aUte legion headquarters. Senator Chamberlain aald In part: "8crloua questions will bo raised and are involved In the construction of thla dam. First, raising the wa ters of the lake will flood valuable landa belonging to the United Statea government, amounting to ten or fif teen thouaand acroa, and complaint la already being made by indlvlduala along the ahorea of the lake aa to Interference with their righta. The .moat aerious question, to my mind, la the taking of water from the lake, after construction of the dam, past Oregon landa that are Involve In the original reclamation acheme and the Inability of the government thereafter to use any portion of these water for Irrigation of Oregon landa. This may mean the loss of millions of dollars to the government on lands ausceptlblo of Irrigation, which will bo deprived of reclamation by reason Klamath lake directly Into California over the Keno and, Copco dams." After asking tho secretary to take stops with a view to stopping the work until Its legal status is ascer- mined, the senator said: "it 8 fair to stato to ycu that I ..... .. l-l... . .!. -.., .,. n mill l III!

The telegram concludes "I havo great confidence In ycur fairness and grout legal ability. I am not at all satisfied with tho conclusion reached by your predecessor." FIRST MINT STILL FOR KLAMATH CO.

Pro nouncing tho existing league of nations a dcflnlto and Irrom cdlblo falluro, Senator Harding today proposed a now effort to construct an association from tho framework of the Hague tribunal, clothed with euch at- tributes of the league aa may be found safo and practicable. The e declaration waa made In a front porch speech to a delegation of Indiana Republicans. Tho league, the candidate as- sorted, had broken down at its first test in Poland and now had "passed beyond the possibility of restoration." e He quoted from British e statesmen In support of the statement that a revision of the covenant will be welcome abroad. e 4 Asserting that the affairs ot the Crane Lumber company are la, in volved condition, and that the action of defendants is prejudicial to the Interests of all partle concerned, H. B.

Principle Involved In 'be coming election are ao Import at they rise fsr above personal .aces, and the neces sity for' ,portlas Republican prealdent with s Republican congress Is so rltal that aa' Republican cam afford to sacrifice his country to favor a Democratic friend who wants Ko benlected to office. This waa the message bronght to Republicans of Oragon by Miles Poln- dexter, Washington senator aaol chairman of the national Republican senatorial campaign committee, la an address delivered to the Harding- Coolldge Republican club at a noon luncheon at the Hotel Benson. Out for Staafleld The chief purpose underlying the visit of Senstor Polndexter- was to find out In what manner his c- tee could asalat In the elu Robert K. Slanfietd to the senate from Oregon. He was In conference with Elmer Dover of San Francisco, regional campaign director, and lead ing Oregon Republicans. - In an. Interview the senator ex pressed the belief that the senate will gain at least four Republicans tnm the states, of Oregon, Washing ton. California, Idaho, Colorado, Ne vada nnd Arizona and possibly more). Senatorial campaigns -are to be held la 32 states and S3 aeata will be tonga for. In more than half the aasaber. Republican or Democratic victories are coneeded. aald Senator Polndexter, bat there are is doubt fal states la which vigorome east- aalfM will he wtujaa by the metal lleaas. Those statse are New York.- NwH-mpaalre, Oala,. Indiana. JCea tnfkyT.Marylanif, Missouri. Washing ton, Oregon; California, Arixona, lie' vada,,Utah. Colorado and Idaho. He pointed out that the ascendency of the Republicans in the senste de ponded greatly upon the Pacific coast. At present the Republican majority In the senate Is two mem bers, "a precarious tenure of power," said the senator. Chawce tn Keataeky With tho election ot Governor Mor row, a Republican, In Kentucky, by a majority ot 40,oqp, the Republicans believe they atgad an excellent chance ot receiving t additional Re publican sest in the senate In the, election in that atate, asserted the visitor. "It is not as Important to a Demo cratic friend who may wish a pabllc rotflce to realize hi desire as It Is to the country to establish certain prin ciples ot government for which the Republicsn psrty stands," declared Senator Polndexter, In explaining his plea for the election of a Republican to the senate In Oregon. The Great Question The Democrats want to submit every question to a league ot nations, assembly of final trlbunar." he (continued, "based on political and Tho Republicans wculd substitute a legal tribunal of international law. Obviously, under tho Democratic scheme we would1 lose all right ot decision, lose that Independence for which our forefathers fought. We would have ono vote out ot more than 30. "The American pooplo would be divested ot their high station, and control of our government would be transferred to a super-government by the diplomats of Europe and Asia.
