0WYHEE IRRIGATION PRO.
JECT Is GIVEN NEW LIFE

Salem-That the .Owyhee reclama-
ton project in Malheur county, one
Of the largest of the reclamation pro-
jects In Oregon, may come under the
s20,0OO,O00 appropriation to supple
ment the irrigation fund and that the
company which has been promoting
the Owyhee has abandoned the pro-
ject owing to financial difficulties,
became known here.
State Engineer John H. Lewis is
now starting to attempt to place the
project under the arm Of the reclaim
alton service and give the Federal
authorities chance to develop it
through their priority claims against
subsequent small filings, which, If
they become valid, will work to defeat
any comprehensive development.
The Owyhee is situated in Malheur
county and includes nearly 10000
acres. The Owyhee and Malheur pro
jects were begun prior to the act ad-
vancing $20,000,O00 to supplement the
reclamation fund, approved June 25,
1910, and the water rights were init
lated long prior. If the private en-
terprise fails to begin construction in
the near future, and the government
fails to protect it's advantageous po
sition as to water filings, the project
may be so complicated by smaller
subsequent filings as to defeat anS
comprehensive development.

VOTE DOWN COUNTY
DIVISION SCHEMES
Details Involved in Formation
of New Counties Unknown
TO Voters.

Voters cannot inform themselves on
the many local details involved and
accordingly it will be their general
decision to vote mo" on the entire
list. Tnis is the opinion OF the Morn.
ing Oregonian in its issue of June 2,
as follows:
Nine county division schemes are
bidding for enactment under the init
iative, in imitation of Hood River
county's success two years ago. and
the end is not yet. Here is direct leg
fislation gone to seed and disseminat-
ing trouble through the fair expanse
OF Oregon.
--latest is Deschutes county, pre-
senting a petition to the secretary OF
state and asking to be carved out OF
the northwest part OF Crook county
Umpqua; Williams and Nesmith, with
overlapping boundaries, seek inde-
pendence from Lane and Douglas
counties. Umatilla county is wrest-
ling with the ambitious schemes OF
Orchard and Hudson. Clark desires
separation from Grant, Otis from Nal
heur and Harvey. A strip of Clack-
amas seeks annexation to Multnomah.
Politicians, office-seekers and ambi.
tious little towns are putting up these
county partition schemes. More
counties will provide additional OF
ficial places and other patronage
They will also make higher taxes and
more trouble for property owners.
1t is reaching a point in Oregon
where the electorate will feel Obliged
to vote uniformly against all these
new counties. The voters cannot in
form themselves on the many loca
details involved, in order to legislate
therefore they are likely to take the
view that their safest action win b,
that of voting mo" on the whole

oregonian Comment.

The Oregonian comments gain on
the scneme in its issue OF June %:
"A tenth scheme for county divis-
ion appeared for initiative enactment
next November-annexatio of piece
of Washington county to Multnomah.
These county questions are proper
subjects for legislative attention where
they can be studied on their merits
and be amended and adjusted to suit
local needs. The great trouble with
the initiative measures is that each
and all of them emanate from spec.
ial interest. No element should ever
be allowed to frame laws regardless
OF other elements Of the population.
Yet that is what they undertake to do
when they refuse to take their bills
before the legislature and insist on
enacting them by the direct method
Lawmaking is one of the oldest OF
the affairs Of men and ages of exper
ience have proved the superiority OF
legislation by delegates instead of by
the mass. Delegated, representative
government is the most triumphant
lesson OF history"

name Is Miss Helen Varick Boswell,

wrong and Mr.. Roosevelt, who then
was President Roosevelt, and Presi.
dent Taft, who then was secretary of
war, were nearing their wits ends.
The government had built pretty
little white and green cottages with
screened-in galleries and they had
fitted them throughout with the latest
style In mission furniture. The men
at the zone were putting aside more
money than they had been able to
save In years In the states and from
a mans point of view there was no
apparent reason why the American
women who had followed their hus-
bands into the zone should not be
content But they were not, and the
spirit of unrest grew until 1t took on
proportions of sufficient size to affect
the work on the canal.
The president and the secretary of
war put their heads together and de-
termined to send woman from the
states with the rather unusual COM
mission to find where lay the trouble
with her transplanted sisters. The
woman was Miss Boswell.
What Miss Boswell found was row
Of II towns of varying sizes stretched
along the canal from Cristobal on the
Atlantic to Ancon on the Pacific. She
found 1,200 women far from familiar
haunts and all the things that had
meant life set down in an existence
where the line of social exclusion
was more tightly drawn than in the
nourisf1ing cities Of the states. The
seed of discomfort was producing a

clogging life the length of the ditch.
