careful search of her person for pos

were natural on the part of women

IRRIGATION AND WATER DISTRICT
LAWS CHANGED BY THE LEGISLATURE

Salem, Ore, May 22.-(Office oi
the State Engineer) Some import
ant changes were made by the last
legislature In the water laws and ir-
rigation and drainage district laws
OF the state. The abolishment OF the
Office OF superintendent of water di-
vision No. reduces the state water
board to two members, the state en-
gineer and the state water superin-
tendent. The state engineer was
given charge of the distribution of
the water OF the state. with author
ity OF overseeing the work Of the
various water masters, which work
has heretofore been under the direc-
tion of the division superintendent.
The superintendent OF water division
No. 2swas given charge OF the adju-
dication OF water rights in the entire
state and was given the title of state
water superintendent.
A constitutional amendment pro-
viding for the guaranty OF the first
five years interest on irrigation and
drainage bonds will be submitted to
the people at the coming special elec-
tion. On account OF heavy discount
on drainage and irrigation bonds
this class OF reclamation has been
under severe handicap, which It is
believed will be largely removed II
this amendment is passed.
"a statute was enacted providing
that irrigation districts may accept
a part OF the land OF any landowner
within the district as an offset
against the reclamation charge or
the remainder of his land. This will
probably serve as very convenient
method OF cooperating with the fed
eral government.
The provision Of the Irrigation

ance of bonds was clarified by tn,

be included in an irrigation district.
This amendment was deemed neces-
sary on account of the large area of
agricultural land which Is included
within the limits of some of the mu-
inequalities within or adjacent to the
irrigation districts
Provision has also been made for
the reclamation of lands in an irri-
cation district in units. Heretofore,
II was necessary that every acre OF
irrigable land in a district should be
assessed the same as every other ir-
rigable acre. This brought about a
tendency to exclude land from the
district, (which would increase the
cost against the main body of land
Notwithstanding the fact that 1t
might be possible to include such
lands in an irrigation district as a
separate unit, and assess them ac-
cording to the cost of reclamation.
Under the irrigation district laws
an enacted in 1917, the district could
not require construction bonds in
excess of 25 per cent of the amount
OF the contract. This has been cured
as the statute now provides that no
such bond shall be less than 25 per
cent of the construction costs.
The drainage district law was also
amended in some important features
so that 1t now corresponds more
closely with the irrigation district
law and all question has been elm.
mated as to whether or not the OBJ.
legation of the district was an indi.
vidual or community obligation by
fixing 1t definitely as a community OBJ
legation.
Another statute was enacted pro
viding for the certification of drain
age district bonds in the same man
ner as irrigation district bonds ar,
now certified.
Summing up, therefore, much fav
orable legislation was secured affect
ing reclamation, In fact, the las
legislature seemed to take NOR,
favorable view toward reclamation
than It's predecessors.

Iandrith Of Texas Says President
Would Lead Soldiers and Boys

Portland, May 22.--"Presldent
Wilson's stand for repeal OF war
time prohibition is his second great
personal and political blunder, his
effort after the armistice to win a
partisan congress being the first.
The country, loyal to him in the con-
duct of the war, still rebukes that
first mistake. and 1t will rebuke this
one."
This view is taken by Rev. Ira
Landrith, D. D., LII. D., OF Texas and
Tennessee. candidate for vice presi-
dent on the prohibition ticket in
1916. and author in 1911 OF the win

continent to arouse America to the
needs OF law enforcement and to In
