TRAFFIC IN REFERENDUM.
Eugene (Ore) Register.

Eugene (Ore) Register.
 While we do not see rcferendums quoted on change, we find they have a market value. They are bought and sold-a form of merchandising that has become exceedingly popular in oregon under the Bourne U' Ken regime. As a sample of how popular government is trafficked in and made merchandise of by the purveyors of putrid political perfidy, note the fol- lowing explanation as offered by one Van Orsdal as to why the referendum against O. A. C. failed of the required number of signatures. He says:
 Some time ago we placed an order with H. J. Parkinson of Portland for signatures to the co. A. O petitions. expecting to secure the required num- Der. After realizing the difficulty in securing the names of petitioners. we placed an order of 2, 2,500 with man m Portland. He was unable to take up the work until after the primary and did little after that time"
 Here we have a fine example of how Oregon politics is made merchandise of. We placed an order with Parki- son Tor signatures, says van Ci'''ioi Are referendums to be bought and sold as you would buy and sell dry goods and groceries? Did Parkison get some other offer that looked better to him than the pay for circulating said pc titions? How much principle is there involved in this kind of reform poll tics? Is oregon henceforth to be hampered, held back, reviled and made the laughing stock of the nation by allowing such procedure to continue or will it proceed to probe to the bot tom such methods and lay them bare before an outraged public that they may proceed to correct the practices that are working irreparable injury to the state?
 Oregon is the only state in the Union so far as known to allow scheming manipulators to hold up an of an educational In- stitution In other states they would be tempted to mob the gang who would undertake such a thing. whether or not they were part and parcel or or working in harmony with an opposing college.

the recommendations of the board, whose report has just been made. The engineers appointed, Colonel Epes Randolph, of Tucson; Director F. H. Newell, of the L. S. reclamation ser vice; General W. l.. Marshall, of the U. s. army, consulting engineer of the department of the interior; Engineer J. A. Ockerson, an eminent civil en-
 gineer; Mir. J. B. Lippincott. one of the aqueduct commissioners for Los Angeles, eminent in Photographic work-with General Harrison Gray Otis of Los Angeles, president of the Colorado River Land company, are
 better equipped than any other group of men that could have been named for the task of studying and solving all the questions involved.
 While Colonel Randolph was una ble to attend the conference in Wash ington. his associates on the board had the benefit of his advice. and he is better qualified by experience than any other engineer to give expert ad- vice concerning the Colorado river. He succeeded in turning the river back from the Salton sea after all other engineers had looked into the difficulty and pronounced the task and the work done under his direction stands as a monument to his genius-Mr Hartman described it as the greatest achievement with which he himself had ever been con nected. It was unfortunate for Col onel Ockerson that he felt so con- ndent of his own abilities that he did not insist upon having the advice of Colonel Randolph when operations were begun in Mexico upon the works which have been destroyed.

: Finances and Markets

New York, June S-The movement of stocks was governed largely today by influences apart from the usual market routine, chief among t1em the governments crop report, and the monthly statement of the copper pro- ducers. High expectations were held of bullish exhibits in both cases and in neither were the expectations entirely fulfilled Deterioration of the condi- ton Of winter wheat from S6.1 a month ago to S0:4, placed the figures below the ten-year average, which in Wall street is regarded as unfavorable news.
 Many reports of pronounced improve ment in the copper trade led to such confident expectation of a favorable showing in the producers monthly statement that some disappointment was shown when an increase of 44O.000 pounds of stocks on hand was report ed. Amalgamated rallied for a brief interval, but fell away in common with other metal stocks. An encouraging feature of the report was an increase of more than 12.OO0,0OO pounds in do- mestic consumption. Despite reports of a lively demand from abroad, for eign consumption was slightly below the April production, which increased S,s77, 900 pounds.
 Trading on the exchange was active, with considerable confusion of semi ment and irregularity of prices. Steer shares showed evidence of pressure, which has been almost continuous dur ing the week.
 Denver & Rio Grande preferred dropped 4 points when it was an- nounced that the directors had ad- journed without declaring a dividend. and there was a possibility that al

The Colorado River Problem.

The task which confronts the gov ernment in the matter of controlling the Colorado river below Yuma was only partly disclosed in the news from Washington. printed in this paper yesterday. to the effect that the board of engineers appointed by the sec retary of the interior has recom- mended to President Taft that an- other appropriation of one million dollars be made for protective works.
 One of the embarrassing features that all of the proposed work must be done in foreign territory-further arrangements must be made with the Mexican government for permission to construct the levees and other works. This, however, probably in wolves nothing worse than delay and tax upon the patience of the Ameri- can government in waiting for the Mexican authorities to get around to decisive action. The greatest prob lem is of course, the physical one Of designing and constructing a system of levees and so forth which will ac- tuaIly hold the river to its accustomed channel and prevent it from breaking over into the Salton sea and from ln- terfering with the irrigation system of the Imperial valley.
 But there is no season to douDt that all the physical problems VIII be solved if the government follows

A State of Uncertainty.

Chairman Flood of the house con- mittee on territories having made a statement 10 the public that he had received assurance from the presi- dent that the house resolution for the admission of Arizona and New Mexico would be approved if passed by con gress, Mir. Taft has thought the mat ter of sufficient importance to justify him in stating that he made no prom iSe in the matter.
 Everybody is entitled to his own guess, therefore, as to what NIT. Taft will do with the joint resolution if it reaches him in the form in which it passed the house. His refusal to commit himself at this time may or may not mean that he will permit the resolution to go into effect-although Mir Mann, the leader of the republican party in the house, and Delegate Cameron. are both positive in their belief that to send to the president the resolution in it's present form will cause the defeat of statehood. When Mir. Cameron in the course of his speech declared his conviction that the president would veto the resolution unless it required the elimi- nation of the judiciary recall from the Arizona constitution, he was pressed by sundry democratic members for a categorical statement of what the president had said to him on the subject MT Cameron declined to make any statement that would com init the president, and MT. Mann sus- tained Mir Cameron's attitude by say ing that every member knew it was improper for any congressman to repeat what the president had said to him privately. He added that his own belief was the same as MT Cam eron's-that the president would dis approve the resolution. Now comes a statement from the president himself. that so far as the statements made by Chairman Flood are concerned they were unwarranted.
 Aside from the question as to what the president will do with the resolu- tion if it ever reaches him it should be remembered that, notwithstanding the many contradictory reports which have been sent out from Washington, nobody knows what the senate will do at this session on the question of statehood There is some reason to believe that the house resolution would be passed-althOugh by very small majority-if a vote could be reached. But there is no certainty that the question will come to vote at this session. The reciprocity ques- ton will lead to d prolonged debate. Every senator, probably, will make a speech on the subject. and it is quite possible that everybody will be ready for adjournment when reciprocity is out of the way.
 Meanwhile it appears that the peo- ple of Arizona can do little beyond waiting for the outcome.

his brother was i'll. The reason for
this was that he had left New Mexico

the time of the death were unknown
to his New Mexico friends.
Mr.. Spence went on to Plymouth inn
mediately upon learning of what had
occurred and that the remains of his
brother had been sent to that place

CH|LD is TAKEN
SICK IN SCHOOL

East Chicago, Sept f6.-The regula-
ton fall epidemic of scarlet fever
seems to be on hand as usual this sea-
son and already there /has been one
death from the disease and at least a
room full of school children have been
exposed.
The child who died was Lester Nor
ton. son of Mr.. and Mrs. A. c. Norton.
1872 Northcote avenue, aged six years,
and first grader in the Mckinley
school. Last Monday morning he was
taken sick in school and his teacher
sent him home. The boy had a high
fever and by night was considerably
worse He was de1irious and follow
ing the delirium became blind lie re-
NAMED in this condition for twenty
four hours. after which he regained his
eyesight and seemed to be improving
rapidly. Yesterday morning he asked
to be permitted to look out of the win
dow and his father, seated him on his
knee for a while. The child waved his
hand to his aunt. Mrs. John Mason. who;
lives next door to the Nortons. and
seemed in excellent spirits.
Suddenly he said he was very sick
and asked for a doctor. The child was
dead within half an hour following his
complaint. Heart failure was given as
the cause.
The disease was contracted by play
ing with a cousin. one of the children
of Mr. and Mrs Jessie Sedgewfck,
whose sister had scarlet fever. At the
time it was believed that the child had
typhoid. but it was later found TO be
scarlet fever. The little cousin with
whom Lester played also contracted
the disease and both the Sedgewick
children are still suffering from the
disease, the house being now Under
quarantine
Mr. and Mrs. Norton are the recipi-
ents of much sympathy from their
friends and neighbors. The funeral will
take place this morning.

Joseph, and Myrtle McMahan, a daugh-
ter, were in the house. There was i
terrific crash of thunder. accompanied
by a binding flash which caused the
house to rock on it's foundations, and IL
is believed that this bolt was respon-
sible for the damage, although none OF
the inmates of the house realized until
some time later that the house had been
struck
The rain was pouring in torrents and
Mrs McMahan thought 1t sounded as
though it was raining into the house.

gate To her amazement she found that
the roof had been torn away and that
the room was already flooded.
1t was the merest chance that the
room had not been occupier. the sew

slept there. Thursday night however.
the sultry atmosphere had caused
Joseph to retire to his elder brother 3

The family remained in the house un-
til morning, although all were badly
frightened. Everything in the frost
room was ruined and the water soaked
