Oct. 11 (Special.) The meeting of the Oregon Irrigation Association today brought out the fact that delegates from all parts of Oregon ere working in harmony to secure better Irrigation for the state, both through na tional and state appropriations and by whatever means it can be accomplished. The announcement by Judge Lowell, pres ident of the association, that sectional ism should be dropped and a wider and bigger spirit prevail in matters pertain ing to the commonwealth at lare brought forth hearty response from dele gates. Senator Fulton's talk on "Bet ter Irrigation for Oregon" also met with great approval. The meeting was called to order at 1:30 by President Lowell. On motion of Addison Bennett of The Dalles all who were in attendance at the meeting were given the privileges of delegates. Mayor Blowers, of Hood River, was then intro duced by the president and delivered an address of welcome In behalf of the city to the delegates, offering them the free dom of the city. A. C. Stanten wel comed the association in behalf of Hood River irrigationists. giving a history of the beneficent effects of irrigation in Hood River Valley. Judge Lowell responded and then In troduced Tom Richardson, of the Portland Commercial Club, who told what Portland was doing for better Irrigation, say ing it was raising a fund of J10O.O0O for that purpose and that it expected con tributions from all sections of the state. Jefferson Myers spoke on the good that was being accomplished by the Irriga tion meetings and fairs that were being held in the state. Fulton Strong on Irrigation. Judge Lowell, in calling upon Senator Fulton, the next speaker, spoke of the great importance of the reclamation act and whit Oregon's representatives in the Senate were doing to forward it. The Senator, after paying Hood River a tribute on Its fruit fair, said: "I do not hesitate to say that there has been no act before the people's repre sentatives at Washington since the home stead law. so important not onlv to Ore gon but to the Northwest generally, as the reclamation law, and as long as my voice lasts and I have any inttuence' I will not rest until Oregon gets her just proportion of the appropriation for that purpose. According to the contribution which the State of Oregon has made she has received far less than any of other states. Some of them have con tributed but t2v.noo and have received as high as I7.000.0i. Oregon has given $..000.000 and received about $3,0O.O00."- Senator Fulton called attention to the great benefits and wonderful development expected from the Klamath and Harney projects, saying that they must be put through, and explained his action in the Senate in regard to the Hansborough bill, which provided for the draining of lands in Idaho, and stated that ho would op pose any measure that proposed to en croach on the reclamation fund, and re marked in closing: I want to May a word about river and har bor Improvement In Oretton. In which I am vitally Intereeted. I am In favor of all these improvements felllo. Coos Bay. Tillamook, the mouth of the river and any other llk enterprise that will develop our mate. While I am heartily proud of our Army and Navy, which I think the equal of any In the worl.l. although I know It ranks as only third, I am In favor. If necessary, of retrenching in the arnroDrlatlons for these amis of the Gov ernment and using the money In river and harbor improvements. It It cannot be raised In any other way, I am even In favor of issuing bonds for it. the same as has been done for the Panama Canal. Discussion After Papers. After considerable discussion on Jesse Stearns' paper on "Irrigation Under the Carey Act In the Deschutes Valley," the meeting adjourned until the evening ses sion. On reassembling, the committee on nominations made Its report, which was accepted, and officers were elected for the ensuing year. The committee also recommended the adoption of the Portland Board of Trade Journal as the official organ of the asso ciation, which was carried. Judd Geer of Cove, Or., made an ad dress to the convention on "Fruitgrowing on Irrigated Lands," and F. W. Metcalf talked on "Irrigation in Malheur County." He was followed by E. X. Smith, Coun ty Surveyor of Malheur County, with an address on "The Duty We Owe Water," who said that one of the duties owed to water was not to use too much of it, as It had been discovered that 15 inches would properly Irrigate an acre of land in even arid sotl and closed his address by stating that Malheur had been disap pointed by the Reclamation Service. Secretary Wilson read a paper from L. D. West, of Bend. Or., stating that the farmers of the Deschutes Valley were confident that they would solve the prob lem of irrigation there and sent a greet ing to the convention. He also read a resolution from the hopgrowers and wool growers of Oregon, asking for the estab lishment by the state of a jute mill at Salem for the manufacture of hop sacks nd wool sacks by convict labor. After discussion, the resolution was passed. After the delegates had listened to a troeal solo selection by Miss Gladys Hart ley, a communication was read from the Dregon State Federation of Women's lubs. offering their co-operation In ob :aining better irrigation for the state, and i committee will be appointed to confer with them. Grant's Pass Invitation Accepted. Charles Meserve, of Grant's Pass, in ?ited the irrigationists to meet at that jlace next year, when he said a large fruit fair would be held. Pendleton was ilso put forth as an aspirant for the meet ig. but after a talk In favor of the Rogue River town by Judge Lowell and Vddison Bennett, of The Dalles, Grant's Pass was selected. "Need of Legislation in Oregon on the R VEH Subject of Waters." was the paper read by J. H. Lewis. State Engineer. Mr. Lewis said that capital was being driven away from Oregon, owing to unsatisfac tory laws in fixing water rights, and urged that the matter should be taken up and adjusted at the next meeting of the Legislature. Legal technicalities existed, he said, between the Carey act and the United S?tates Reclamation Service, which should be eradicated. W. H. Moore precipitated a warm dis cussion by moving to have the assocla-' tion indorse the work of a committee appointed to draft laws at Salem govern ing the use of public waters. It was finally carried with one dissenting vote, A. King Wilson voting against it. Professor Kent Uses Charts. Professor F. L. Kent, instructor at the Oregon Agricultural College, who arrived on the evening train, was then announced and delivered his address on- "Irrigation for Humid Regions." With charts he demonstrated how experiments in the Willamette Valley showed an increased production in sections that were irrigated over those that were not. and gave fig ures in support of his statements show ing that 8732 crates of strawberries had been raised on the same area of land which had been irrigated, as against only 1030 raised on non-irrigated land. J. A. Willis, of Pendleton, offered a res olution thanking the residents of Hood River and the Commercial Club for their kindly courtesy to the members of the as sociation, and expressing admiration at the fine fruit exhibition, which he said could not be equaled anywhere. The res olution was carried. A. King Wilson also moved a resolution that the Portland Bonrd of Trade tender Hood River a vote of thanks for its treat ment of the delegates, paying that the fruit fair hero was the greatest Inspira tion and ohject-leeson as to what irri gation could accomplish. The meeting then adjourned. At its conclusion Judge Lowell said that several papers that it was expected to have read from Eastern- Oregon asking for legislation on the subject of Irrigation by the next Legislature had not been presented owing to the illness of delegates.

STI CKSTO H EH STO H Y Mrs. Snyder Undergoes a Searching Examination. INQUIRY IS POSTPONED Neighbor Woman Tells of Dressing a Wound in Mrs. Snyder's Head Inflicted by Snyder With Revolver Butt. HILLSBORO, Or.. Oct. 11. (Special.) From the fact that District Attorney Allen, after four hours of questioning JUrs. Madge Snyder, has postponed fur ther inquiry with the witness until Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, it may reasonably be inferred that the widow of the murdered man gave the prose cuting officer but scant Information In this morning's session. It would ap pear that when she said yesterday that she had toid the officers all she knew, she meant what she said, or that she had told all she would tell under any circumstances. Mrs. Snyder came out this morninjr on the same train with District Attor ney Allen, and on the way from th- depot to the Courthouse Mr. Allen asked her if she wished to go to tfle Courthouse or if she preferred going to the office of his deputy. Her reply was cool and collected, yet her voice had a note of defiance in it when she said: "It don't matter to me. You fellows are running it." They first went to the Courthouse, and Mrs. Snyder Immediately went to the Sheriff's office, where she loked over the cache found west of the Southern Pacific Station last Winter, after the Forest Grove Bank robberv. Among this was the shotgun stolen from the bank. District Attorney Allen and Deputy K. B. Tongue, in company with the Coroner's physician, Dr. A. B. Bailey, went into session at 9 o'clock, and it was about 1 P. M. when they adjourned, again to take up the matter next Sat urday. Mrs. Snyder left on the 1:42 train for Portland. Neighbors of the Snyders, when the dead man and his wife lived in the hills above G-lencoe, think that Mrs. Snyder knows a great deal about the case from the fact that the rubber tired surrey went to within a short distance from the house the night of the murder, and was tied for some hours, judging from the marks left by the horses. A woman neighbor of Mrs. Snyder was in town the first of the week, and stated that at one time she dressed a scalp wound caused by a blow from the butt end of a revolver, inflicted on Mrs. Snyder by the now deceased hus band, and she stated that Mrs. Snyder said that on the occasion of that trouble the husband had fired two shots at her while she was hiding in the bedroom. RIGHT TO FLOW OF STREAM Snake River Company Given Deci sion of Much Importance. BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 11. (Special.) The United States Circuit Court of Appeals has rendered a decision in the case of the Trade Dollar Mining Company vs A. A.

The company has a dam and power plant on the Snake River at Swan Falls, the plant having cost $.",50,000. Its appropriation calls for 10.000 second feet of water but it has used only 2100, though its dam was planned so the power plaot could be en larged as power phould be needed. The defendants located 4000 feet to be taken In two canals from the dim. one around each end of dam embankment. The company brought suit for Injunction and to quiet title. The lower court refused to Issue an in junction and found that the company had title to only the 2100 feet of water nut to beneficial use. The Circuit Court finds It was entitled to an injunction to have its dead of water maintained and to a decree giving It four years from date of same to put remainder of the 10, 000 feet to a beneficial use, the last pro vision being in accordance with the state law.

T li CLASS FLAG RUSH i WHITMAN FRESHMAN HAS HIS JAW DISLOCATED. Hit by Battering: Ram in Hands of Sophomores While Guard ing; Flagpole. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Oct. 11. (Special.) As the result of a class fight which took place between the fresh men and soohotnore classes of Whit man College this morning about 3 o'clock, George Oldright, a freshman and member of the football team, is suffering from the effects of a dislo cated jaw. Several nights ago the members of the sophomore class pulled a barrel, with the figures '09 painted on it, to the top of the flagpole and one of the reckless boys climbed to the top, placed the barrel over the end of the pole and cut. the rope. While the members of the sophomore class were at dinner last night George Oldright. president of the freshman class, climbed the pole, removed the barrel and in its place put a freshman flag. Twenty freshies guarded the pole and during- the early part of the evening caught several sophomores, tied them to the pole and after giv ing them a lecture warned them to keep away. About 3 o'clock this morning the members of the sophomore class as sembled, provided themselves with an improvised battering ram, and marched on the freshles, who had gone to sleep. Awakened by the noise the freshmen began to rise up and Oldright's head was caught between the pole and the battering ram. The act put a damper on class rushes, which have been fre quent this year, and the students have agreed to suspend their differences for the remainder of the term, so that the question of the class supremacy will continue unsettled.
