Contends He Is Only Standing On His
Rights Will Furnish Free Use
of Water to the City.
As soon iih the gravity wntei' pipe
line is completed to the llimlcy prem
ises on Little Itutte creek, M. F.
llimlcy will allow tho city to enter
upon his premises mid construct u
pipclinu to conneet with his irriga
tion ditch from Little llnlto creek ot
Wnsson canyon, ho that tho city can
ho Kiipplied with water from the up
per cud of its line. Tho only condi
tion that is imposed is that tho city
absolve him from any damages which
might lie im.ioKod hy reason of the
present litigation to cover which he
lias up a $ 1(1,000 hoiid. This condi
tion is not yut as vital as it would bo
later, as thu pipclinu has not as yet
reached his line and hence there has
been no damage 1,1 'he through
lack of water. The water with which
the city will ho supplied in practically
the same that will be obtained at the
pennaiieiit intake, it being taken from
Mr. Hnnloy'ft ditch loss than a half
mile below where tho city propones to
construct its permanent intake.
Mr. llanley has long contended that
he has not wanted to hold the city up,
hut that he wan standing upon his
rights and did not earo ni waivo nny
of his points. In order to show Hint
ho ic sincere in his statements he
makes the present offer.
An additional condition is imposed
by Mr. llanley, and that is that the
line across his land ho laid on top of
the ground in order to prevent dam
age to him through tho blocking, ns
he says, of sub-irrigation, which has
been one-of his main contentions for
damages.
This offer of Mr. lTanley's will nl
low the city to bo furnished with a
heller quality of water than is ob
tained at present from thn open ditch
of the Fish Lnko company at tho
Ttrudaliaw drop, and will not mako no

ages ultimately and an injunction re-
j straining a branch Hnrriman railway
lino from obstructing navigation on
Klamath lako, the steambont line op
erating on those waters this morning
filed a complaint in tho federal cir
cuit court. In the complaint it is set i
forth by tho injured concern, known

that course. C. W. Fulton appears
as attorney for the steamboat com
pnny, while W. D. Fenton hns ac

and after deciding whether or not im
mediate relief is necessary, will pro
ceed to determine tho general case
upon its merits.

EARLY HEARING
IN THE CRATER
LAKE ROAD CASE
Was Set for October 20, but Was
Postponed Owing to Inability
of Fenton to Be
Present.
DECISION SHOULD BE
GIVEN IN NEAR FUTURE
If Favorable, It Will Allow the Entire
Season Next Year to Be Used
in Construction.
Clarence Renmes has been advised
that the Crater Lake road injunction
case has been set for argument in
the supreme court on October 20, but
that W. D. Fenton could not possibly
be present at that time to make an
argument, and so Mr. Reames has
requested that it be postponed for
ten days or two weeks. However, the
case will soon come up in that court
for argument and duriug the winter
a decision will probably be rendered
which, ff favorable, will allow con
struction work to start in the spring,
i The news that the supreme court
is willing to take this case up thus
early in the present term was hailed
with delight by tho loenl people who
are making the fight. The matter
will be settled one way or tha other
before many weeks have elapsed, and
in time for all preparations to be
made so that a full season's work
can be accomplished next year.
Benjamin F. lleidel, tho government
engineer who was sent here to take
charge of tho work, will arrive soon
to locate a road for the forestry
service through the Fish Lake pass,
nnd from nil indications lie will be
here when the case is decided, so that
he can start work immediately upon
the specifications for the road, so
that contracts can be let early in the

v--
The Rogue River Fish Protective
association is to be incorpotated and
a determined fight to be made to close
Rogue river to nil other fishing except-
with rod and line. Men are to
be put in the field at once petitions
asking that the matter be submitted
to the people of the. state at the next
general, election, at which time it will
be voted on by the people at large.
A press bureau is to be established
and a systematic campaign waged for
the carrying of the measure.
The meeting of the association will
be called in the near future and the
work got under way. The Rogue has
long been known as one of tho finest
trout streams in America and bv shut
ting out commercial fishing which en
riches a few individuals it is hoped
to perpetuate the stream as a sports
man's Meccn. At the present time
from all sections of the United States
anglers come to enjoy a few weeks'
sport in the Rogue. These anglers
nre for the most part wealthy men .
who enn afford to go to the far quar
ters of the globe in search of this
superb sport, leaving behind a trail
of dollars.
It is a plan of the association to
have the stream closed to all com
mercial purposes from its source to
tidewater. The government hatchery
nt Trail will then be used exclusively
for the propagation of trout, a--1 the
fame of the Rogue as an n--r'er's
paradise will be spread far and near.
The river will then be of a far greater
benefit to the people at largo than nt
the present time, when it is used to
enrich a few at the expense of tho
