SANTIAM RIVER
WATER RIGHTS
ARE WITHDRAWN

The unappropriated waters Of
the North Santiam river in Mar
ion county werew tihdrawn from
appropriation yesterday by Percy
A. Cupper, state engineer, in order
that there may be no complica-
tions arising from misunderstand-
ings In the securing of water
rights by farmers of the Santiam
valley as planned in a meeting
held about a week ago.
To secure the rights it will be
necessary for the farmers to call
for Investigations by the engineers
office and in this way all doubt
as to ownership will be avoided.
Several years ago a number of
farmers Of the district filed rights
but the project was not carried
out. II they can secure the same
rights they should be on a more
substantial basis if they were to
make new filings.
The stream is at present fur
nishing power by being diverted
into the Mill creek at Aumsyille,
Turner and Salem. Water from
the stream is also the source OF
power at tSayton, Sidney ana Jvi-
ferson. Irrigation rights have also
been initiated with view of ir-
rigating about 10000 acres in the
vicinity Of West tSayton. A sim
liar amount has been filed fol
land in the vicinity Of Marion.
1t was explained by Mr.. Cuppei
that while it may seem a little
more difficult to secure the rights
now than before the appropriation
was withdrawn, in the long run II
will be a benefit to the farmers tc
be benefited. Just such trouble
as disputes over ownership was
responsible for the halting Of the
| progress of the Santiam valley pro
ject several years ago. With thC
past dry season agitation for irri-
cation was renewed and com
mittee appointed to investigate.
The future action that will bt
taken has not been announced By
the committee. 1t is expected, how
ever, that they will make every
effort to secure the rights. 1t was
shown during the past summer
that with irrigation their farms
could be made to produce some ol
the best crops in the state. One
farmer raised four tons of logan
berries to the acre while neighbor;
& we're getting from half ton tC
two tons to the acre. He also had
one of the best potato crops that
was raised in the country.

THE RETURNING OF
GOODS BY CUSTOMERS
(By Ralph L. Woody

The question as to how long GUS
toner shall keep goods before they
will cease to be accepted for credit on
their return to the store, and the
question of what goods will not be
credited at all, are being widely dis
cussed by the leading stores through
out the United States. There is some
variance of opinion as to whether a
system of arbitrary rules subscribed
to by the leading stores in a given
community, or cooperative educa-
tional campaign to show the offend
ing shopper the error of her ways,
will bring the required result.
In the West, where vigorous meth
DDS are employed and accepted by
the populace, there is strong lean
ing to the arbitrary rules and regula-
lions, ranging from some Minneap-
oils merchants who accept no credits
at all, except when the goods are
really at fault, to the 48-hour rule
Oxford eagle. (Oxford, Lafayette Co., Miss.) 1876-current, 1922-11-30

in Los Angeles.
In the East, on the other hand, the
educational idea seems to have many
champions. Mr.. Elbridge L. Howe,
formerly Executive Secretary of the
Retail Dry Goods Association, who
has been in the retail dru goods bust
ness all his life, says: "My personal
opinion is that the setting of arbi-
trary rules on the return of merch-
andise for whatever reason is not the
best solution of the problem. In the
first place, it was not really fair to
the customer, who has doubtless been
encouraged by the stores themselves
asdhe result of liberal policies estab-
lished some years ago when customers
were invited to exchange goods if
not satisfactory, whether the goods
were at fault or not, and quite ma
turally used by customers to its full
est extent. Any rule that is apt to
cause pickering between the stores
and customers is not particularly
good rule. This pickering in the end
will either weaken the bond of good
fellowship between the store and the

customer or DESTROY it entirely"

customer or destroy it entirely"
There is one way in which en-
ployes can help to reduce this return
goods evil; that is, to discourage in
stead of to encourage the sending of
goods home for selection. approval, or
comparison, with the ultimate inten-
ton of the return of all or part of
them for credit. Certainly the sug-
costing by salespeople that the goods
be sent home when the customer had
not asked or intended to ask that it
be done, is step in the wrong di-
reciton.
