Land Opening by Deschutes Irrigation Company Must Wait. Salem After listening to an extend ed argument by C. E. H. Wood, repre senting A. M. Drake, of iiend, the des ert land boaril decided to hold up the application of the Deschutes Irrigation & l'ower company for the opening to sal of 2,820 acres of land, embraced in Its latest Carey act project on the Deschutes until the board can find time personally to inapect the project at its forthcoming visit to Ksstern Oregon, within a month. Wood made an exhaustive argument, charging that the Deschutes Irrigation & l'ower company is not complying with the plans and speciflratio for the reclamation of the arid lands under its Carey land contract with the state; thst it is wrongfully diverting the water taken from tha DeschuU-s for the reclamation of one segregation for th temporary reclamation of lands listed under another contract so it can place the land on the market; that th company is heavily burdened with fi nancial difficulties and ha mortgaged the settlers' rights to cover it defi ciencies; that it can never insure the settler a perpetuul water right under the circumstances which now exist and are in prospect; and charging the des ert Ian I board with often violation of it obligation to the state and tb set tler under the provisions of the Carey act snd the irrigation laws of the state in granting the irrigation company in creases of lien and other privileges. ACT IS SPECIAL. Injunction Is Granted Against Crater Lake Road. Salem In the Circuit court Judge William Calloway granted a perpetuul injunction restraining the governor and secretary of the treasury from paying out $ Km, oou for the construction of tho road to Crater lake. He held the law is .itecial and local and clearly in hibited by the constitution of the state. The case will be immediately appealed. The Supreme court has previously tak en the same stand as Judge Galloway, in a case almost identical. The court's reasona for the derision are given as follows: The art ia local and special in that it applies to only two counties in the state and because it is limited to a spe cified section and fur special purposes only. The act creates a loan of the credit of the state, ahich in the aggre gate with previous debt or liabilities exceeds the sum of (.10,000. 1 he oroitosed Crater lake road would not be a continuous public highway serosa the state via Crater Lake Na tional park because the act provides only for the construction of roadj from Medford, in Jackson county, to the western boundary of the park and from Klain.tth Falls. Klamath county, to the eastern boundary of the park, leaving an intervening segment of more than 13 Si miles over which the state gov ernment has no jurisdiction or right to trespass.

Salem Attorney General Crawford haa rendered an opinion to the effect that $76 a day appropriated by the term of Chapter 89, laws of 1909, be used for the operation and maintenance of the entire portage railway system. Under a strict interpretation of tha act, the amount would not be available for anything but tha construction of the I in from Big Eddy to The Dalles, and the balance of tha line would have to quit business for tack of money with which to operate. The attorney general, however, decided that it would be eafe to be guided by the evident Intent of tha legislature rather than by tha strict wording of th law. Judge W. J. Marrincr and L. A. Lewis, of the Portage Railway com mission, are in Salem to consult with tha state offlciala regarding the mat ter.
