Oregon Out In the Gold. Washington, July 28. Army en gineers In charge of tho work of ap portioning the $20,000,000 recently voted by congress for tho completion of pending federal reclamation pro jects, concluded their preliminary la bors today, and started for the West. They will visit the projects on the Paclc coast, In Montana, Idaho, Wy oming and the Dakotas. The engin eers first will meet In Chicago to plan the middle western trip, and gather in Salt Lake City later to arrange for the Pacific coast inspec tion tour. Dr. Andrew Smith, of Portland, today filed with state Engineer Lew is maps covering the East Umatilla Irrigation project and his action is taken by those conversant with the situation as conclusive evidence that the United States government has de cided to abandon tho project, and should they be correct In their con clusions it will mean that the time has forever gone by when tho state of Oregon can' derive; .any benefit from tho $20,000,000 reclamation bonding act which was passed by Now Offered in all Department FOR OUR CLEARING SALE We don't buy cheap goods and make 40 and 50 per cent profit on them, then give the people 20 per cent for a bait to catch trade.

The Greater MAY ABANDON UMATILLA PROJECT congress last winter. Dr. Smith in his communication accompanying the maps says that he takes the action because of the fact that should the government be pre vailed upon to relinquish its rights to the project, he desires to organ ize a company to carry it out. The maps aro duplicates of those made by the federal government and ho says he purchased them from it and this fact, say those conversant with tho project, Is conclusive evidence that the government has decided' to abandon the project. Oregon the Loser. The $20,000,00 reclamation bond ing act provided that only such pro jects had been initiated and which were underway at the time of its passage should derive any benefit from it. In tho state of Oregon there were two projects under way tho East Umatilla, and tho Kla math Falls project. The latter is in volved in litigation with settlers and all work is at a standstill, and the East Umatilla was therefore the only project remaining which could la7 claim to any benefit from the fund.

When the act came up for consld oration in congress the Oregon dele gation in congress was severely crit iclzed for permitting it to be passed without registering a protest against it. It was contended that its pro vision were unfair as the state which happened at the time to have the most irrigation projects under way derived tho greatest benefit from it regardless of tho extent of its con tributions. It was Insisted at tho time that the fair-manner in which to distribute the benefits of the act would have been to base them upon the amount contributed to tho re clamation fund by each of the states Tho Umatilla project embraces 60,000 acres.

Portland, Oro., July 28. Unless the teamsters' strike, the mechanics' walkout and other labor disturb ances in Portland are settled soon, it is highly probable that every la bor union In tho city will have be come Involved 1n a general strike .before autumn. Eight thousand unionists would be affected by a general strike order. At a Joint meeting of a commit tee of tho Central Labor council last night, the plan of calling out one union after another until all were on strike was considered. It was practically agreed upon that such action might prove necessary on tho part of tho unionists to protect themselves in tho campaign being waged by -employers and business concerns to make Portland an open (ContinMod on Pago 8.)

The weight of the brlek is 20 pounds, S ounces, the produot of 800 pounds of rock, four hours' run of tho two- stamp mill. This Is believed to be the record run of tho world. Tho "The failure of the Democratic state convention to endorso county option Is disappointing," says Bryan. "Still tho fight has not been in vain. It has helped to secure a declaration favoring the initiative and referen dum by both parties and no doubt such a necessary amendment will ba submitted to tho next legislature. "Wo must now secure county op tion delegates in every state assem bly district. If tho Democratic con vention had endorsed county option, it wouldhave eliminated the necess ity of a stato campaign, but oven as it is, thero is no reason why any vote for state officers oxcept that of governor should be Influenced by tho candidates' attitude on county op tion. "I believe the Democrats have tho advantage In the discussion of na tional issues. Every legislative can didate should bo urged to support the candidate for United States sen ator receiving tho largest vote un der the Oregon plan, thus eliminat ing the option question In securing a senator. Tho Democrats ought to elect a snator. Thcro Is no reason to bo discouraged and lose intorest." Minnesota Denis Follow Suit. Minneapolis, Minn., July 28. The Democratic stato convention is ex pected to. nominate John Llnd for governor if Llnd will consent to run. Llnd has the solid backing of the opponents of local option and thoy can easily control the convention. Though it is the desire of a small minority to make local option one of the Issues at tho- convention, it Is believed that tho question will be ignored altogether. The platfoiim probably will in clude a plank favoring Initiative and referendum.

IVE LEADER CLEVER WO RK REVEALED ! "Come Back" of Former Senator and PoliticaLBoss of Buck eye State Sounds Death Knell of Senator Burton and of Progressive Republican Leaders Harding Is a Strong Friend and Supporter of Foraker ,and Alliance With Lat ter and Cox Is Hinted at By Wise Ones. UNITED riUSBS LBXBBD W1BS.J Columbus, O., July 28. This Is the day of the political grouch in Ohio. Following tho Ropubllcan stato convention yesterday, Insur gents today are accusing James R. Garlleld, looked upon as the pro gressive leader of tho stato, of "quit ting." Tho nomination of Warren Hard ing for governor Is regarded as un Indication of the reappearance of former Senator Joseph B. Foraker into politics, and this means, ac cording to tho wise onos, the down fall of Senator Burton and tho nor thern Ohio Republican leaders. Incidentally tho disgruntled Republicans- of whom thoro seem c bo an abundance In all parts of the stato aro predicting the slaughter of the party at tho polls "this tall and a clean sweep for tho Democrats. President Taft is reported greatly ploased with tho work of tho con vention. . Popular rumor hero Bays that Theodore Roosevelt, who openly ox- .pressed tho wish that a progressive ralntform be adopted' does not like ' blthor tho candidates - or tho plat form. ' AlPln all, tho Republican leaders today seem" td- be engaged in''a game of cross purposes. Harding, who hrs been n consist ent stand-patter, is one of tho strongest' supporters of Foraker, and hns long bon one of his closo friends. Harding was at first regarded as tho ELECTION at $12,000. In addition old bonds to the amount of $19,020 fall duo and must bo paid. Thoro was no provision mado for any of thcoo In tho levy. Sovon thousand dollars havo tem porarily been borrowed from tho bank, and there are $0700 In cash on hand. Should the taxpayers not de sire an bond the district for tho sites and repairs, which amount to $10, 000 and $12,no0, respectively, It will be necessary to make a lovy to Py tho residue next fall. Tho bonds, however, must bo re funded, as no provision has been mado for their payment. The election will bo held at tho usual voting polls which will bo open from 1 to 4 o'clock in tho afternoon.

That ho recolved enough votes to win la be lieved by politicians to indicate that Foraker has "como back." Further,. It Is hinted that It may presage an. alliance between Foraker and Cor, which Is strong enough to control tho party in the stato. Forakor's chief opponents como from tho northern end of the state, whoro Senator Burton is regarded utr tho loader of tho regulars. The nomination of Harding, therefore,, is considered an indication that war botweon Burton and Foraker may break out, and that the northern loaders probably would get the worst of the encounter. Tho insurgents aro perhaps tho most disappointed of the factions do veloped by tho convention. They aro openly saying today that If Gar field had not quit ho had an excel lent chanco of winning the nomina tion, and that it he had carried tho platform fight to tho floor of tho conventlon, tho regulars would . have been routed and tho Insurgents would have swept tho-convention.
