COUNTY TO SECURE
SUBSTANTIAL SUM
ON LAND CHARGES
ONE FOURTH or RECEIPTS FROM
FOREST SERVICE Is DUE
UMATILIlA.
d. DOUGLAS. JR.

Umatilla county Is In line to secure
what may be a considerable sum Of
money from receipts OF the forest ser
vice for charges on land located in
this county County Judge Marsh
recently took the subject up with the
district forester in Portland asking
as to what money II any is due the
county.
Today he received a reply from
Charles H. Florey, acting district for
ester, saying that under the law each
county is entitled to one fourth the
gross receipts Of the government from
forest purposes in the county This
money is TO be expended for roads
and schools, under the direction Of
the county court
In addition there is a general law
that requires the expenditure by the
forest service Of 10 per cent of its
gross receipts on roads within reserves,
In his letter Mr.. Flory suggested
that the matter be taken up with Su-
peryisor W. w. Cryder and Judge
Marsh win comply with the suggestion.
How much money is due the county
under the 25 per cent requirement is
as yet unknown. Under the 10 per
cent requirement the forestry people
have already expended SS9450 on
roads in reserves in Umatilla county
II is the belief Of Judge Marsh that
the forestry money will be expended
by the court on mountainous roads.
The fact the county has money due
from the forestry fund was brought
TO Judge Marshs attention by f. +.
Cleaver.

Great Falls Project Deferred.

Some time ago The Herald vcntured the opin-
ion that there the slightest chance of
inducing Congress at the approaching session to
make appropriation OF several million dollars
for the purpose Of beginning work on the project
OF utilizing the power OF the Great Falls of the
Potomac and increasing the ctys water supply
Yesterday Secretary OF War Garrison notified the
District Commissioners that, for many excellent
reasons, which he set forth in detail, he is not
prepared to recommend the submission of an esti-
mate Secretary Garrison is not opposed to the
project, which he believes will certainly cventu-
ally be wise public policy, but in view OF the fact
that it will not be necessary to commence opera
tions for increased water supply until 1920 and
in consideration of the uncertain status of the
power development proposition. he docs not be-
lieve it wise or economical to undertake the work
at the present time.
The total cost of the undertaking as contem-
plated is estimated at SI7,ooo,ooo, of which
the District of course would have to pay a SUBJ
stantial share. 1t difficult to obtain from the
last Congress appropriations to provide for inn
provements urgently needed in the Capital, and
there is no great reason to hope that this will be
found much easier at the approaching session. For
this reason If for other, it is fortunate that the
Great Falls project is to be deferred Money for
improvements that cannot wait may be asked for
with more grace, and later on, with more pie

gress, the Great Falls project be presented in

A Loan to Germany.

We do not know whether the intimation from
Washington. that the German government would
protest against loan by our markets to the Eng
ish and French governments, is meant to be taken
seriously. But of one thing sure-that the
"protest" itself. based on allegations that such a
loan would be "unneutral," would be taken ser-
ously by nobody. BY consulting the files of the
New York newspapers at the opening of April,
any one will discover the public advertisement, to
the American investing community, of $Io.ooo,ooo
imperial German government per cent treasury
notes, which were to be paid interest and prin-
cipal in American gold coin at New York These
notes arc publicly quoted today in Wall street;
nobody interfered with the marketing of them
Perhaps the German government might answer
that the announcement of its April note issue de-
clared that proceeds "are to be used only for the
establishment of commercial credits in the United
States" whereas the proposed Anglo French loan
would pay for war munitions That contention
would invite three answers: First our govern
ment has already declared munitions exports to
be legitimate commercial business. Second. the
credits raised by France and England would be
applied to grain and cotton purchases as well as
to manufactured goods. Third, public ADVERTISE

A clothing manufacture serves this warning:
at will not be long before the lack of coal tar
dyestuffs will be forced to the attention of every
man and woman in the United States The
people must be patient, and if only plain colors
are obtainable and the colors do not stand cx-
posurc to weather the manufacturer must not
be blamed" There would be reason to worry
over the possibilities which such situation sug-
gests were it not for the promise that enough dye
stuffs for our will be permitted to leave neutral
ports. if Germany is willing to send them to US;
and who can doubt that she is?
