A special attempt will bo made dur ing thn coming yeaar to ho of service ot tho irrigation projects of thn state, It was announced. Many details of the coming cam paign to be waged In the Interests of Irrigation and land reclamation were discussed. It was pointed out by Wnl ter K. Mcncham of Ilaker that In the past Oregon has not recelvod Its Just from the national government. "All tho other states who huvo con tributed to the reclamation and Irri gation fund through tho sain of public lands have received back mom than thoy put In," said Mr.' Moachiiin. "Oregon has put In $11,000,000 and has received bark only 4',li000,000. as compared to tdnho which put In 17,000,000 und received $23,000, 000; Montana which put In $13,000, 000 and received t:., 000. 000; Wash ington which put In $7,000,000 nnd received $14,000,000, and Wyoming which put In $1,000,000 n nil received $MOO,000."

Wednesday, October 13, little more than throo weeks off, is tho last day for filing nomination petitions with tho police Judge, that official announced this morning. All elective offices nro to be filled at tho election, November 2 mayor, pollco Judge, treasurer, and tho coun- tl linen's places In tiro wards. The city council at last night's meeting, driven thereto by lack of tlmo as an overwhelming reason, do elded that the city would use its own machinery to conduct the coming election, Instead ot trying to redlst- rlct In conformity with the existing county precinct lines and use the county olcctlon boards, registration lists, and other election machinery. There was much discussion and vorbal see-sawing before tho council reached the decision. The election will be held on tho same day as the national and state election. Other wise tho city will pursuo Its own course. Had tho council chosen io take tho other alternative, all pre liminary proccssos, Including filing ot nominations, would havo closed October S, the dato when the state' law requires nominations to be filed with tho county clerk. The time was too short, tho council held, to hope for success In this method. It requires 144 signatures, based on the law's percentage provision ot votes cast at the last preceding dec tlon, to nominate for thn office of mayor, police Judge, or treasurer. Ninety-five signatures la their re- (.VkuAtlVA M-,1h m aw ..atal-.il aa3-aa-1 Inate candidates for the council. The petitions may be obtained from the police Judge,- and must bo re turned with the required number ot ulgnatures not later than October 13. There waa considerable discus sion ot amendments and measures to go upon the ballot. A number were taken under consideration to be put Into shape for action by tho council Monday night. One proposed amendment Is In crease In salaries ot all elective of fices and of the city attorney and city health officer. The salary In creases were voted 'down by the elec tors at tho last special election, No vember 28, 1919. Another amendment would raise the limit ot city bonded Indebtedness from 10 to 1C per cent. He Stays Away u.AwM Lot COX LAUDS JOHNSON IN HOME TOWN SACnAMENTO, Sept. 17. Gover nor Cox in an address hero todn .

Although thoy differed fundament ally on tho league of nations. Cox said bo admired Johnson for his "laik of ambiguity and hypocrisy." I havo looked with admiration for years on the fight made by Hiram Johnson against reaction," said the Democratic candidate WW LET Contract for building the Fair view school was awarded yesterday by the school directors to W. D. Miller, whose bid for common brick construction was $23,577.25, Two other bids were received. All three contractors aubmltted alternate bids for brick and concrete construction. O. C. Lorenx waa awarded the plumbing and heating Installation. His bid was $S,S55. It la hoped that the building wljl bo ready next term. It Is badly needed.

GRANTS VARIOUS PERMITS The following permits were grant ed by the city council at its special meeting last night: Mrs. Jerry Blaine, to conduct a rooming house at 920 Klamath av enue; E. It. Carpenter, to build dwell ing 'in Falrvlew addition, cost $400; O. Wlllard Smith, moving woodshed; M. C. Surbor, addition to dwelling; Chas. Jensen, to move woodshed; Roy K. Wilson, two room cottage, $400. VAXXICK PL'ltCHAHKS THE WAItl) HOME OX PIXE Mr. nnd Mrs. Frank Ward hnvo sold their beautiful three story brick home on tho corner of Third nnd Pine streets to Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Van nice. Mrs. Ward Is selling all nor furnishings as well as tho houso. The consideration wus not mado public. Thumb nails grow tho slowest, and middle finger nails the fastest. Tho nails ot any two fingers do not gjw with the same rapidity. The tenuro ot office section of the charter must be amended to conform with the state law, which will re quire oloctlon ot nil officers at one time. Tho present charter provision provides tor tho election of the may or, police Judge and treasurer tor one year, and the counciimen two years thereafter and thus on In ro tation, all officers seervlng two years. The theory la that the city will thus always havo ono sot ot trained men in office whllo the other sot la "breaking In." The state law allows no choice but a change of this section. A measure for raising the tax rate from 15 to 38 mills on the dollar will be on the ballot, most probably, A similar measure waa defeated last November. Other amendments and measures Lwlll probably be brought up Monday night tor consideration. BUM DEATHS 37; ILL ON GUARD NEW YOIIK, Sept. 17.

Pronouncing the league of nations Irreconcilable with the American constitution Sen ator Harding declared In a constitu tion day address that the time had como for the United States to decide whether to preserve or abandon the charter under which It achieved Its nationality. "Constitution or covonant, that Is the paramount issue," he said. "We cannot follow our present chief mag istrate without forsaking the father of our country." Harding assailed tbe administra tion's policy toward smaller nation of the western hemisphere, asserting tho executlvo had usurped congres sional powors to carry on an uncon stitutional war with Haytl and 8anta Domingo. He declared tho recent utterance ot the Democratic vlco presidential nominee, Franklin Roosevolt, had re vealed officially for the first tlaie the American government's "rape" of the two, amal lrepubllcs.
