In the future, instead of assessment
.. v •«»«■ v, i«■ jIV.UU aascssiuiui
for water on the basis of the actual
amount of water used, a flat rate per
acre will be charged. This is to com
pensate users who, because of the na
ture of the soileupon which they use
water, require amounts far in excess
of that utilized by farmers in other
districts whose property embraces i
typically clay soil. Just the propor
tionate amount of water to be dis
tributed to owners of both clay and
sandy soiled land will be determined
by the investigating committee, desig
nated as the sandy land" committee.
A blanket rate chargeable to lieht as
well as heavy consumers will Ne
levied in the future.
This matter has been pending and
under consideration by the board for
the last three months, and it is be
lieved this method will be more satis
factory than the old "rebate" system,
«hereby the sandy land committer
would make a survey of the various
soils, determine approximately how
much more water was required to irri
gate one than another, and to make
a rebate in the charges, depending o.i
tne most economical use of water
Sand Call« for Water.
It has been found that sandy «oils
require a vast amount of water a<
these are usually underlaid with gravel
and have quick drainage, but on til
other hand clay soils are slow to take
up water, and therefore but little is
required to grow maximum crops.

comprised of clay soils. Sandy soils
are prevalent in the western part.
Another important matter taken up
by the board of directors is that ot
the so-called "bird reserve," made up
of certain lands lying near Lake Low
ell, and which were withdrawn from
entry by the government.
Kick on Bird Reserve.
These lands, it seems, were leased
to the highest bidders for from one
to five-year terms during the war for
the purpose of increasing as much as
possible the productive area of the
United States. Lesces were furnished
water by the' government.
Complaint is now made by regular
settlers surrounding the bird reserve
that those farming the reserve lands
were at times seemingly given privi
leges in the way of irrigation water
which were not given those who were
helping pay the cost of construction of
the system. The settlers demand the
government# now that the war is end
ed, revoke these leases.

PET SCHEME IS
Wilson Fails To Stir Portland
Where Johnson
Succeeds
(Special to The Tribune)
By John Davis.
PORTLAND, Oct. 11.—Within the
past few weeks Portland has had as its
guests President Wilson and retinue
and Senator Hiram Johnson. The
president was here to plead for his
league of nations. Senator Johnson
spoke against the proposed league.
President Wilson's coming had been
known for weeks ahead. Every Dem
ocratic officeholder in the city, and
they arc legion.' was bestired' for the
coming. His reception was described
by the Oregouian, a staunch league
newspaper, as "dignified and respect
ful." It was that and that's all. Others
would have called the reception cold
and formal not to say clammy. Of
course, immense crowds lined the
streets and hundreds were turned
away from the auditorium. But there
was little enthuism for the president
and much less for his league.
Senator Johnson came almost un
heralded. That he was coming at all
was in doubt 36 hours before his ar
rival. His appearance was greeted by
cheering crowds. The auditorium
would not hold those who turned out
to hear'him by from 1500 to 2500. It
is said that more than 6000 persons
heard him in the evening. The effect
he produced may be guaged by the
fact that since his appearance here
both the Oregonian and the Journal
have not missed a day without offer
ing an editorial or two in defense of
the league covenant and against the
position of Senator Johnson,
Papers Support League.
It should be borne in mind that
every newspaper in Portland is for
the league. They have drummed on
the league for these many months
now, but it must be admitted, with
out carrying conviction to the people
of this city, that is if outward signs
can be relied upon.
That the president would not com
pletc his swing around the circle wa
forecasted days in advance of th
abandonment of the trip. Of course
no one could foresee that he would
break down physically, and that catas
trophe is sincerely regretted through
out the country. But the fact remains
that the president lost ground from
the first day of his swing and kept on
losing ground throughout the ill
starred venture.
