Water users contracts which have
been the bone of considerable con
tention during the past several
months and which have retarded the
prompt promotion of the Grande
Ponde Irrigation contracftaj, have
been passed from qne prominent at
torney in the county to another, of
late, and from all comes word of
general satisfaction! This contract
is the one revised from the old one,
and is also the one sanctioned by a
committee representing the Grange;
wlich strenuously objected to the
original contract, and all elements
in the prospective water user's cir
cles. Before having it printed, the
directors sent the proposed contract
to outside attorneys. David Ecclei",
a irospectlve bond buyer, has urged
that it be sent to some prominent
toad attorney of more than ordinary
note, that there . will be no "fall
town when the time comes to sell
bonds for the project.
A meeting was held late this af
ternoon by the directors for the pur
pese of deciding where to have tho
document given its final test. As
the contract now exists, it satisfies
the water users,' and if it is legall
v ater proof, it will be ready for use

NEGRO GETS
RELEASE BY
GRAND JURY
)T TRUE BILL RETURNED BY
THAT BODY TODAY.
Negro held for suspected burglaries
given his freedom.
Fred Taylor, the negro held In the
county Jail for several months on
charges of being guilty of burglary
from the house of Mr. Brooks on
North La Grande, at the time that
the city was terrorized by a series
of petty robberies, was today given
his freedom when the grand Jury re
turned a not true bill against him.
This report was one of the first pro
ducts of the present session of the
grand Jury ;
The negro was tried in Justice
court and bound over to the grand
Juiy some months ago, and It was
lartly to hear and consider the evi
t'ti'jce In this case that the grand Ju
ry was called together.
After pending the courts for 19
years, the suit brought by the Fed
eral government to recover 160,975
acres of Indian land near North
Yakima from the Northern Pacific
Railway has been decided against the
corporation. The land ts valued. at
more than ; 2,000,000. The Railway
claimed It under a congressional
grant of 1887. ' The government con
tention was that it belonged to the
Indians under a treaty made in 1869
by Gov. Isaac Stevens, Judge E. H.
Whltson held against the Railway
company which will take an appeal
to the supreme court.
