LEASING POLICY
DIVIDES MEETING
FERRIS BILL BEFORE WESTERN
STATES WATER.POWER
CONFERENCE.
DRAINAGE IS WANTED
NATIONAL CONVENTION TO PETI.
TON CONGRESS FOR MONEY
TO CARRY ON WORK.

western Newspaper Union News Service
Portland, Ore.-One big target was
before the Western States Water.
Power Conference which assembled
here-the so-called Ferris bill for the
regulation of power development on
the public domain.
This bill, which passed one house
of Congress but did not reach a vote
in the Senate at the last session, will
be reintroduced and If today's mani.
festations might be taken as any in.
dication. will meet much opposition
from western congressman, many OF
whom wish to give the states extern.
sive or complete control over the re.
sources within their domains.
The talk, however. was not alto
gether one-sided. Henry S. Graves,
chief of the United States Bureau OF
Forestry, argues sturdily that the Fer.
ris bill was in line with development
along the general line Of public con-
troll.
He cited increased regulation Of
railroads, the general abolition OF
perpetual franchises and other mani
festations to support his case.
The conference quickly divided
itself into two camps: one favoring
absolute control by the separate states
of all the natural resources. while the
other advocated continued federal SUI
pervision over the public domain.
Delegates to the conference and in
vited speakers and guests were wei
coined by Gov. James Withycombe.
Each OF our states is held in leash, y
he said "a leash grasped by a federal
government none too indulgent, none
too sympathetic with the best mean
ing of the phrase states rights and
certainly none too familiar in some
phases of it's bureaucratic paternalism
with the facts as they exist in the
West today"

MEND YOUR TIRES
AT FIRST SCRATCH

At this season Of the year when
many automobiles are annually in
spected and overhauled. is a good time
20 inspect the condition of tires as well.
Most motorists are very attentive to
the mechanical parts of their cars. but
neglect care Of the tires. Later +bey-
wonder why they do not get the mile
age some Of their friends report and
rail TO understand the reason.
Tire service always is abbreviated to
a considerable extent If cuts. small
aDraslons and snaEs are not attended TO
Due TO the weight Of the car and the
elasticity Of the rubber. a cut or injury
TO the tread Of a tire expands. In this
way much Of the foreign matter
that often IS found beneath the rubber
cover is to be accounted for With each
revolution Of the wheel. when the in
jured part is relieved OF the weight Of
the car, the accumulation Of foreign
matter acts as a wedge and forces Itself
farther in Complete separation OF the
tread may result and then il is neces-
sary TO apply a new tread or buy an en-
tirely new tire.

BIG EXPOSITION
ENDS ITS DAYS
PANAMA-PACIFIC BROUGHT TO
CLOSE.
Has Been Great ShOw-SplendOr and
Good 4 Iaste of Grounds and Build
ings One of Notable Features.

San Francisco, Dec. 1.-The Pan
anna Pacific International exposition
closed tonight. Hundreds of thou
sands of incandescent lights twinkled
and trembled the farwell signal a
few minutes before midnight and at
IL o'clock the lights went, out for tho
last time. The exposition of 2S8 days
duration officially was at an end,
though the farewell carnival con-
tinued in the morning hours.
With The extinguishing of the cleo
trio lights there was a flash in the
sky of thousands of rockets, bombs
and star shells. More than half g.
ton of powder was used to hurl them
into the air, making salvo which
w. D'A. Ryan, the director of illumi-
nation, said was the heaviest and most
elaborate pyrotechnic display ever at
tempted.
Hundreds of searchlights which
had pointed to the art of the sculp-
tor and shone on the tower of jewe,-
and the domes and minarets each
night since February 20 when the
exposition began were also dimmed
in the closing moments and for 80
seconds the 635 acres of exposition
grounds were in total darkness. Then
patrol lights here and there along the
avenues and byways and in the
courts began to glow so that the
thousands of merry makers coulo
make their way about. Throngs re-
mained to go on with the dances Ii,
the open spaces and in the courts
and to wander about the grounds in
the farewell festivities.
The carnival spirit prevailed, in
keeping with the decree of Presi-
dent Charles c. Moore and the expo
sition directors, who said: "Let there
be cheers instead of tears. The expo
sition has been a success"
In financial way it is expected
the exposition will show a profit of
something like ,OOO,OO0-and per-
haps more. All indebtedness was paid
before the exposition was two-thirds
over The expense of preparing the
site and the buildings for the opening
date was said to be approximately
$5O,OOO,OOO. There was no federal ap-
preparation for the undertaking, al
though. the various departments of the
United States government made dis
plays for which $500,O0O had been al
lowed for maintenance.
The exposition attendance was be-
yond all hopes of the management,
especially after the outbreak of the
war when for time there was talk
OF postponement of the opening date.
On a daily average the attendance
has been more than $4,000. Within
