NJ MilDj 'iAlDOO STATESREASON
FOR five YEAR CONTROL

Washington, Jan. 4.-Director Nc
Adoo, testifying before the senate
interstate commerce commission,
says in support of his contention for
a five year government control of
the railroads:
81 believe that under the handi-
caps of war conditions sufficient
showing has been made to indicate
that all the reforms have mention
ed are desirable as permanent peace
measures. Yet it is clear that the
general public has not had an oppor-
tunity to weigh the real value OF
what has been accomplished. The
public is entitled to have, before the
present federal control shall be
terminated, a reasonably fair test
under peace conditions Of the ad-
vantages to be derived from these
reforms.
ut will be impossible to review
the results of even one year of fed
eral control under peace conditions
until the spring of 1920, and it will
then be too late for congress to legis.

period after the declaration of peace

KANSAS WHEAT CROP
IS WORTH Millions

Kansas City, Mo-. Jan. A re-
port by Edward c. Paxton. field
agent for the federal department OF
agriculture, declares that Kansas,
with 11,1s4.000 acres, has 22.S per
cent Of all the winter wheat area of
the United States. ,,
A full crop on this enormous acre
age, which is 13 per cent larger than
the record acreage OF last year,
would total zoo. 900 bushels, or more
than one-third of the 589,304.O00
bushels for the average annual con-
sumption in the United States, the
report says.
Such production. with guaran-
teed price Of 50 a bushel, would
bring Kansas s400,000,000. The
December report states that the
average condition is 9s per cent.

SAYS OLYMPIC CARRIED
OVER 100000 PEOPLE

London. Dec. 5.-(Correspondence
OF the Associated Press -Dodging
German submarines in the Mediter-
ranean, trying to save sinking
warships in the North Atlantic, and
fighting of vicious U-boat attacks
while carrying American troops are
some of the achievements credited to
the White Star line Olympic during
her adventurous career OF the war
time. These we're only incidents of
her experience, because, on account
OF her great passenger capacity, she
was steadily and faithfully keeping
to the task of transporting men and
material for the armies in Europe
First It was Chinese coolies for road
building, then farmer boys from
Canada to replace the losses Of Vimy
Ridge, and finally many thousands
of Americans to face the German on
the western front.
Her work during the Gallipoli
campaign" writes a member of the
crew to the Daily News, when she
carried about 5000 troops-at that
time the greatest number ever car
ried by any ship-following upon
her gallant attempt OFF the north of
Ireland to tow the water-logged
dreadnaught Audacious, was suffici-
ent to put her in the first rank of
transports, but her subsequent work
in bringing Canadian troops and Chi
nese labor battalions, and then her
wonderful career since Christmas,
1917, when she arrived in New York
for her first load of American troops
must put her in a class by herself as
trooper
She has carried we'll over 100000
people while on war service.

PROF. POWERS VIEWS
IRRIGATION DISTRICT

Prof. W. L. Powers, head of the
irrigation and drainage department
Of the o. A. c.. who came to Grants
Pass few days ago at the request OF
County Agent C. d. Thompson and
Engineer Dubuis to examine the soil
and agricultural conditions in the
Grants Pass Irrigation District, was
taken over these lands for the pur-
pose Of collecting additional data, es-
pecially regarding the soil.
II seems that the information they
obtained shows a better condition
than was found year ago when they
first reported on the project and on
the excellence of this more complete
data the proposition will be looked
upon with more favor by possible
bond purchasers.
The new plan of reclamation was
outlined to Prof. Powers and met
with his approval, as it not only elm
mates engineering difficulties, but
reduces the cost of reclamation to
the district as compared with the
former plan.
A determined and vigorous effort
is now being put forth by the direct
ors of the district to effect sale of
the bonds and to begin the construc-
tion of gravity system at the earl
lest possible moment.
