Old Ditch Right Of Way at
Chowaucan Rejected
by Government
Some rather peculiar transactions
are now being enacted concerning the
Chowaucan irrigation project. With
all I Ho water appropriated and n big
crap imminent for the control of it,
the Covernment now takes a hand ap
parently and wants to mix up with the
already complex question. It might
be incidentally mentioned in the first
place that so tar as the waters of Ore
gon are concerned, under existing con
dition Uncle Sam has nothing what
ever to do with them, although it ia
generally presumed that State Engi
neer Lewis is desirous of turning the
control of the same over to him, or at
least to have the State and
the Government work in conjunction
when it comes to our water resources.
Sometime since mention was made
in the Examiner that a reservoir site
had been withdrawn on the upper Che
waucan, and this week the local U. S.
Land Office waa informed that the ap
plication of Ceorge Conn for a right of
way for ditch had been held for re
lection for the reason that "The grant
ing of the right of way would mater
ially affect the feasibility of the Che
waucan Project In Central Oregon,
which will probably be taken up in co
operation with the State, under a re

Local Attorney Informed
By Governor That He
Will Get Job
O. C. Gibbs this week informed an
Lxamincr representative that he had
received a letter from Governor West
notifying him that he would be appoint
ed County Attorney us soon as the law
relative thereto became effective,
which would be about June 4. There
were several other applicant for the
position, but Mr. Gibbs was the only
Democrat out for the job. Mr. Gibts
came to Lakeview something over a
year ago previous to which time he had
been employed as a Special Agent in
the Interior Department. During the
recent presidential campaign he wan
an active supporter of the Democratic
nominees, and since the election has
taken much interest in candidates for
the various public office that are now
occupied by Kepublicana and whose
terms of appointment will expire in
the near future.
NEW LIQUOR LAW

Plush Can Have Saloon
If Housed In Fifty
Room Hotel
It has been discovered that liquors
can be sold in unincorporated towns
rcsardlesa of the law passed at the re
cent legislature to prohibit such. The
law provides that liquor may be sold at
country clubs and hotels outside of
cities which furnish accomodations lor
fifty or more persons. According to
this Plush, tor instance, in Lake
county, could yet remain wet if the
saloon men of that place would erect a
fifty room hotel in which to do busi
ness. The Klamath papers state that

two saloons, ia likely to become uuite
a hotel town out of this new law, as
the saloon Interests of that pluce in
tend to continue their business by
that method.
that the State will take no "cahoots"
with the Government and complete the
project.
Inasmuch as the recent Legislative
Assembly passed no act concerning the
Chewsucan Project, it is difficult to
imagine just what the DcpHi-tmont ex
pects to accomplish with a reservoir
site and ditch without water.

NEW HOMESTEAD
LAWISAMENDED
New Points Clearly Define
Regulations of Three
Y e a r Law
The U. S. Land Office has just re
ceived new instructions concerning the
three-year homestead law which clear
several important points. The instruc
tions are contained in Circular No. 208,
a copy of which will be furnished on
application. As under the old law
honorably discharged soldiers and sail
ors are required to reside upon and
cultivate the land for a period of at
leat-t one year, but nt least one-eighth
of the area must be in cultivation when
final proof is made, a requirement not
mad-' under the old law. Both ordinary
and enlarged homesteads require that
at least one-sixteenth of the area be
in cultivation during the second year
and one-eight of the area-thereafter.
Physical or finnacial disabilities or mis
fortunes of the en try man will not te
considered grounds for a reduction in
the required area of cultivation, when
such reduction Is desired, but the ac
tual special physical or climatic con
ditions governing the tract must de
termine the question. It is therefore
possible for the entryman to know in
advance whet reduction, if any, can be
properly made, ana tie men can im
mediately file hia application for the
desired reduction.
I he Jaw required that residence be
established within six months after the
duie ot entry, and while additional
time may be allowed, yet such time
will not be granted in advance and the
full circumstances will be open to in
vestigation and consideration on con-
teat.
The most important change, how
ever, is in regard to the commutation
privilege. As a rule it will be required
lhat upon submission of commutation
proof the cultivation of not less than
one sixteenth of the area embraced in
the entry must, be i-hown. If, huwever,
less than hnt area ia subject to cul
tivation then that f set muet te estab
lished as previously referred to.
CHANGES MADE IN
REGISTRATION LAW
No Swearing: In of Votes
Hereafter; Books Open
At All Times
Attention ia directed to the new reg
istration law enacted by the recent leg
islature by an interpretation of it made
by Attorney General Crawford.
Under the new law, which becomes
effective June 4, the attorney general
points out that the county clerks mast
be prepsred at all times to register
voters, beginning with the day the law
goes into effect. The county clerk
must appoint precinct registrars, who
will be authorized to take registra
tions. Then when a voUr ia once reg
istered it will not be necessary for bim
to register again, unless he changes
hia address.
The law provides that the registra
tion shall cease 30 days before the pri
mary or general elections, and IS days
prior to a special election, and that a
person who is not registered cannot
vote. It prohibits votes being sworn
in, but a saving clause is inserted
which says in case the supreme court
holds this restriction to be unconstitu
tional, then "blank A" as now used
will become effective again.
As a result the women as well as the
men may vote at the special reterendum
election, provided tbey are registered,
and one registration is sufficient lor
both general and city elections.

TRIED JNALTURAS
Owners of Fairport Inn
Secure Judgment
Against Ford
The Alturas papers state that the
case of the Fairport Town & Land
Company vs. J. N. Ford and Mrs. Net
tie Parsons occupied the attention of
the superior court at that place all last
week. The case grew out of an at
tachment by Messrs. Sne'ling and C.
N. Miller on property and furniture in
the Fairport Inn, supposedly te longing
to Mr. Ford, for rental and fuel. Mr.
Ford said the furniture belonged to
Mrs. Parsons, who was assistng him
conduct the hostlerv, and then an at
tachment was levied on Mr. Ford's
automobile. The ease was closely con
tested in the Alturas court and went to
the iury after occupying three days
time. A verdict was rendered giving
ju igment against Mr. Ford and In fav
or of Mrs. Parsons eliminating her en
tirely from the case. The judgment
agninst the former was only about one
fourth the amount claimed. It was
proven that Mrs. Parsons owned the
furniture in the building.
li is reported that the Inn, under
Mr. Snelling's management, is now
oaring for travel and that it will soon
be formally reopened to the public. '
NO. 13
OBSERVES EASTER
Father T. T. Kern Delivers
Forcible Sermon on
the Resurrection
The feast of Easter was celebrated
with unusual solemnity at the local
Catholic Church. The Church edifice
was tastefully decorated with palms
and flowers, the main altar being pro
fusely decked with Easter lilies and
roses. Over the entrance to the sane
taary was suspended a large oil paint
ing representing the resurrection of
Christ. The picture which is 5 feet 6
inches in height is a valuable copy of
the celebrated master Murillo. It was
donated to Father Kern by a friend, a
Portland artist and presented by him
as an taster gift to the Lakeview
Catholic congregation.
There was a communion service at 8
a. m. during which a goodly cumber
of Catholics performed their Easter
duty. The High Mass was held at 10
a. m. The music being creditably ren
dered by the Church choir with Miss
Ayres presiding at the organ. Messrs.
Darnell and Frank Schmidt rendered
selections on the violin which were
much appreciated by the numerous
audience.
Father Kern delivered a forcible Ber
mon on the resurrection ot Christ tak
ing for his text th words of the Apos
tle St. Paul. "If Christ is not risen
your faith is vain."
He said in part as follows :
"The central monument in the midst
of our humanity, the one which in all
ages draws with marvelous power the
eyes of men to its majestic proportions
is the emptv tomrj of the risen Savior.
From that tomb solemn, voices mur
mur of victory over sin, death and the
lawless passions that seeth in the hu
man heart. The resurrection of Our
Lord from the dead is the stronger
proof of the mission of Christ of His
divinity. It is also the foundation of
the' noble edifice Ot the Christian ' com
monwealth. If this one fact and the
world's belief in it be blotted out from
history, the Catholic Church, her dog
mas, her scarament, her life, her very
existence is the greatest riddle of the
ages, a stupenduous ettect without an
adequate cause. Belief in the resurrec
