When the court met in the forenoon it was suggested that the bonds first be declared sudieient. and th:.t objec tions should then be heard. After a short adjournment court re convened and Mr. Martin, of San Fran cisco, asked if two irrigation districts could be formed when there was oi:ly one source of supply. He thfmght it possible that a petition could only cover one district and not two. Mr. Brooke, of Ontario, answered by saying that he believed that two districts may join in a petition. He could not see why two districts could not petition as well as one. Colonel C. E. S. Wood believed that when all the lands received benefits from the same sources of supply both districts must be included. He believed that an Oregon water system should have an exclusively Ore gon ownership. In the formation oi the two proposed new districts. Idaho would have an ownership in water coming from this State. Were the people of ouc State to share in the ownership of water from another State there woulihbe contiicts in own ership and possibly interstate conflicts.' "Oregon water belongs to the people of Oregon," he said, and he favored the formation of the (Ik llrict only with Oregon people included. Later Colonel Wood put a hypotheti cal question as to who would deeido the matter should the Gem district in Ida ho claim more than its share in the benefits arising from the formation of the district in which it would be in cluded. He did not believe Oregon courts could. At this time it was stated that no Idaho district is included inth;' petition The Court remarked that several protests had been filed and Mr. Hrooke asked for an adjournment for three sveeks to give time for the satisfactory presentation and examinaton of pro tests. He believed the court could settle all claims b.v that tinu. Colonel Wood at this .tago addressed the people and Haiti hi., people wanted water as much as anyone, and that he was opposing no one, 'but he advise,! caution before forming a district whose directors could assess and stisrss again until they had assessed th.; shingles off the homes of the landholders. He believed it as important that the amount of money called for should not be too little as too much, lie thought there is grave danger that tin: litch owners might obtain control of the rectors. . "The trusts control the Senate," said significantly. "Why should we go into a 30-year period w ith a $10,000,000 lien and un limited interest ns a burden," he con tinued. "We brought our engineer, Mr. Whistler, here and he saw Messrs. Trowbridge and Niver but' they could give him nothing upon which he could h ise an estimate of the ultimate cost to the landholders. Of course, you and your children can zct out of it in thirty years," concluded the Colonel grimly. Mr. McCulloch, prosecuting attorney, here suggested to the Court that if an a journment were taken the Court ought to have it nnderstood that pro teslants should enter written protests. Hj suggested an adjournment of four weeks to give full time. Mr I'rooke thought the time too long, and Judge Richardson decided to adjourn for two weeks and directed that protests should be filed in the meantime with a description of the lands, the reasons for protesting and other matters which should bo made known to the Court.
