1926, 5,OOO, 900 OF AUTOS TO BE
MANUFACTURED THIS YEAR

New York City-Throughout the
United States there are at the pres
ent time about ESQ factories engaged
in manufacturing automobiles. Prob
ably 100 of these are concerns of ma
tional and international reputation.
The remaining $50 are smaller COM
panies and individuals doing, for a
great part, purely local bushes.
According to General Manager AL
fred Reeves of the American Motor
Car Manufacturers association, there
will be approximately $4,000 motor
cars turned out in American factor
les during the present calendar year
and the total valuation will not be
fai from 100000.
OF the 253 factories in this coun-
try there are at least 100 concerns
turning out cars that are we'll known
and factors in the market. So neces-
sary has the automobile become that
last year there was little or no falling
off in the trade, while this year 1t Is
better than ever, despite the fact that
all other lines are doing a consider
ably smaller percentage Of business
than at any time during the last six
years.
While there is continually in
creasing demand for commercial We
hicles, there is no indication of any
slacken'ng in the call for pleasure
cars. This not only applies to the
big, luxurious cars of great power
but also to what is known as the mod
crate priced car, selling at from $500
to $4,000. A considerable proportion
of the cars this year will be of the
buggy type, which farmers are pur-
chasing and using in increasing num-
bers.

Roseburg, Ore. May 5.-For the
second time. Roseburg's $4,000 worth
Of street paving and bridge bonds
have been rejected by the successful
bidder. this time by A. b. Leach &
Co. of Chicago, whose attorneys hold
that the street paving and bridge
building are distinct propositions and
should have been voted upon by the
citizens separately, instead Of jointly,
as was done. Last year the bonds
were rejected by Morris Bros, Of
Portland, because the election author

too soon, under the initiative and ref

SERVICE GIVES UP
PAL0USE PROJECT

Neutrality-suspicious. that the rec
lamation service IS contemplating re-
viving the Palouse irrigation project
are not substantiated by the officers
of the service. They say that the pro-
ject has been practically abandoned
and that there is no intention of en-
deavoring to revive it.
The Palouse project was examined
in 1903-4 and contemplated the irr!-
cation of considerable area of lands
between Snake and Columbia rivers
and between the towns of Connell and
Pasco on the Northern Pacific rail-
road The Palouse river, from which
it was proposed to take the water for
the enterprise is variable in its flow.
carrying in dry seasons less than 100
second feet and in flood seasons some
times $1,000 second feet. 1t carries
water in considerable volume only
during flood seasons, during the time
of melting SHOWS.
The project contemplated the di-
version of the Palouse river by head
works in the vicinity of Hooper,
where several good dam sites on solid
rock were found. The upper site was
located about a mile above Hooper
where the water could be diverted
into the supply canal at an elevation
of 1876 feet, from which a consider
able body of laid could be irrigated
by continuing the canal for a dis
tance of seven miles below Hooper,
where dam in a narrow gorge, 250
feet wide at an elevation Of $40 feet
and 900 feet wide at an elevation Of
1040 feet, was considered feasible.
The diversion canal from the lower
dam would be through a low divide
connecting with a canal line in Wash
tucna Coulee.
1t was estimated that 10000 acres
could be irrigated from these two ca
nails without pumping, and by putting
in pumping plants to be run by the
power developed by the fall in the
main canal 10000 or $4,000 acres in
addition could be reclaimed.
The proposed plan was considered
feasible from an engineering stand
point although the character of the
subsoil which is of a sandy-g -gravely
nature, made it uncertain as to the
permanency of the irrigation works,
The question of cost was never full
ly gone into, but without close inves-
1t was believed the cost per
acre would be beyond what could be
obtained from the lands to be !rrigat
ed.
The officers of the reclamation !
service still hold the view that the |
cost of the proposed project would be |
too great to make it feasible and, as
stated, it has practically been aban-
doned. The lands which were to be |
irrigated are classed, however, as |
lands susceptible of irrigation and |
consequently will not be subjected |
to entry under the new enlarged |
homestead act which permits the en-
try, in certain cases of 320-acre home |
steads.
What time will the clock stop?

WOULD BAR DEMOCRATS
FROM PORTLAND ELECTION

POrtland.-Democrats of Portland
may be barred from participating in
the direct primary election for the
reason that no candidates for nomi-
nation on the democratic ticket have
filed their petitions with City Audi
tor Barbur to have their names placed
on the ballots, says the Telegram.
1t was announced by Captain w. c..
North, Deputy County Assessor, this
morning that he intended bringing
proceedings against the City Auditor
to restrain him from printing blank
democratic ballots and tally sheets
for the primary election, and he has
already engaged legal talent to file
the suit. He has taken this stand on
the ground that under the election
laws the City Auditor has no legal
right to print blank ballots for this
party when not one candidate for
nomination on the ticket has COM
piled with the prediction provisions
by filing a nomination petition. To
back his stand he cites section of
the direct primary nominating cleo
ton laws passed by the legislature in
1905.

shortly before the campaign Of tho
recent election closed. that the saloon
lists OF this city we're and are law
abiding. That this is the case many
people have doubted all over the state,
where saloon conditions are abomin-
able and the word OF a saloon keeper
is OF the same status as that OF per-

II these resolutions OF the saloon
keepers are enforced they can rest
assured that their efforts not only
have not been in vain but that they
have been appreciated.
There is one thing which we hope
the men engaged In the movement
will not overlook. The public unfor-
tunately does not discriminate ordin-
arily between the law abiding man
and the wide open one, when the lat
ter variety disobeys the law. To make
this as effective as possible every
saloon keeper in the country should
be forced into the association and
made to obey the law or forced out
of business. Otherwise the good citi-
