DESCHUTES BILL
PASSES TWO HOUSES
As Money Is Used Gathering Data,
Investors Are TO Paw IL Rack


Investors Are to Pay II Back.
Salem, Or, Feb. 21.-The Deschutes
water power bill as it has became
known, H. B. 73, which carries $780,
600 to be spent by the state in con-
junction with $4,000 expected to be
appropriated by the United States
government, for complete investiga-
tion of power projects for irrigation
in the state of Oregon, was passed by
the senate with only two dissenting
votes.
While attention is primarily direct
ed to irrigation projects which it is
expected will be developed on the
Deschutes, the bill IS of general scope
and is regarded as one of the most
important steps in development of
water resources ever taken in the
state. The money used in the collec-
ton of reliable data is to be return
ed to the fund as this information is
used and paid for by investors, so
funds will be constantly available.
At first the bill encountered serious
opposition. Amendments were ad-
opted in the house to make more
clear the purposes CT the act and to
meet the objections of those who ex-
pressed fear that development of one
or more units of any given project
would be indefinitely held up when
capital is ready for use.
The bill was briefly explained in the
senate by Chairman Perkins of the
ways and means committee, and the
roll call developed only two negative
votes, cast by Dimick and Wood.

Olympia. Feb. Ex-Governor Lister
will soon be called upon to approve
the farm expert measure, one of the
most important bills that will be pass
ed by the legislature this session. The
measure met with little opposition in
either house, members being literally
bombarded with epistles from farm
ers urging favorable action.
Hereafter, farmers in every county
OF the state, may be supplied with ex-
perts to help them in nearly any hor-
ticultural undertaking. The measure
carries an emergency clause and will
enable farmers to receive this sci
entific help this spring.

Obnoxious Measure Killed.

Word has been received by E. F.
Averill, local game warden, from C.
K. Cranston, chairman of the fish
and game commission, who is now in
Salem, to the effect the legislature
has killed the bill introduced by SEN
ator Burgess and which if adopted
would have relieved irrigators on
small streams from screening the in
takes of their bitches. The sports
men vigorously objected to the Bur-
CESS bill declaring that if adopted
it would ruin trout fishing in east
ern Oregon.

PORTO RICO TO
SEE Big GAMES
THE ISLAND SEEMS 10 BE BASE
BALL MAD AND AMERICAN PLAY
ERs WILL SOON INVADE AND
GIVE THE ISLANDERS A CHANCE
TO SEE THE REAL THING.

Porto Rico is baseball mad and a
bevy, If that is the right word to use,
of American players, representing mai
or and big minor leagues, will soon
tour the island, in the confident ex-
pectation of gathering up all the loose
change in Ponce and San Juan.
According to the announced plans the
weeks from tomorrow, and will play
a schedule of nine games with Porto
Rican teams. The International and
American association, as we'll as the
National and American leagues, will
nave players among those present.
Charles Holiday Ebbets of the Brook
lyn Dodgers, visited Porto Rico not
Ion ago, and returned enthusiastic
about the. prowess of the dusky native
converts to baseball.
Baseball did not follow the United
states flag n Porto Rico, as some
may suppose. Long before Uncle Sam
thought of gobbling up the island, the
american game was popular in San
Juan and other cities. Young Porto
Ricans sent to colleges in the United
States and Canada picked up the game,
and, on returning to their native land,
organized baseball mines.
The American invasion naturally
gave an impetus to the diamond con-
test. Cricket has been carried around
the world by British soldiers, and
Uncle Sans fighting men were like
wise also baseball missionaries in Porto
Rico and Cuba. On n long-tO-be-re-
membered Fourth of July in Porto Rico
the principal feature was a baseball
game between ~Caucausian n negro
mines. The rivalry was so intense that
race riots resulted, and ever since it
has been found necessary to draw the
color line.

New RuIea For ROxinR

New York, Feb. 5.-Such tactics as

He recovered somewhat by stalling.
At other times, Cross simulated dis

adversary.
Members of the commission are now
discussing the passage of a. rule
against stalling. It will come up for
consideration at any early meeting.
