Rocke feller and the Harriman estate, has wrested control of the Oxbow from the IJaho-Oregon Light & Power company in what promises to be one of the greatest power wars ever star ted in eastern Oregon or the en tire westprn country. The legal coup is securing control of the Oxbow upon which the Idaho Oregon Light & Power company is estimated to have spent $750,000 in preliminary develop ment was engineered oy the law firm with which Samuel Untermeyer, the noted New York attorney, is connec ted. The whole matter was arranged under the laws of Oregon, which have recently been changed to conform to the Idaho statutes upon water and power rights, and the rumor is that the Idaho-Oregon concern failed to comply with the new law and thereby lost the Oxbow, which is said to be one of the greatest power siteB on the Snake river. About six years ago the Idaho Or gon Light & Power company started to develop the Oxbow in conjunction with it9 other properties. When the recent large bond issue was sold in New York the Idaho-Oregon had i t provided as one of the conditions of the trust deed which secured the bonds that $2,000,000 would be expen ded in developing the power site. Work has been done by the local power company but it has been inter mittent and for some time nothing has been done toward developing the power site, by those who say that the Idaho-Oregon has lost it to the new concern. Under the Oregon laws it is said there was a provision that work in developing power sites must be continuous and the represen tatives of the Idaho Consolidated Power & Utilities company claim that the local concern has forfeited its rights to the Oxbow because work was stopped. Oregon Laws Changed. A short time ago the laws of Ore gon were amended so that anyone who had a water right or a power site must make application to the state engineer of Oregon for a permit to take the necessary water from the streams of the state. The law is said to provide also that companies which had power sites in the course of con struction and which had already be gun to develop power must apply to the state engineer for a permit to take the waters from the streams of the state. Upon the records at Salem, Ore., it is said, there is no permit issued to the Idaho-Oregon Light & Power company to take water from the Oregon side of the Snake river for purposes of developing power at the Oxbow. Several attorneys from Boise, Portland and New York have searched the records in the Oregon capital and nothing has been found, in their opinion, which would give the local concern title to the power site or the waters of the Snake river at that point. Is In State of Oregon. The power site is wholly within the jurisdiction of Oregot., in Baker county, as the Snake river makes a loop near Homestead. On the east side of the loop the river is mary feet higher than on the west side of the loop and a tunnel driven through from one side of the Oxbow to the other would give the water suffi cient fall and foice to make it one of the gr at power sites of the world. The amount of electricity which could be generated would irrigate many thousands of acres. That the Idaho Oregon Light & Power company, with headquarters in Boise, is hardly preparing to abandon its Ox Bow power site, on which an adverse filing has bean made and as claimed, given favorable consideration by the state engineer of Oregon, ii evidenced by a statement made by O. G. F. Markhus, general manager of the Idaho Oregon, that work was being pushed to complete the Ox Bow plant with the least pos sible delay and that four turbines, weighing 5f0,000 jiounds and occupy ing 12 cars were now in transit to the plant. The freight charges on theBe tur bines will be over $10,000. Mr. Markhu9 stated relative to the article from the Boise Statesman ap pearing in the parallel column, that the Idaho-Oregon company had in all respect, complied with the require ments of the statute- of Oregon for the appropriation of water, and fully protected its rights, and proposes con tinuing its development in the future as it has dune in the past. With reference to the statement that work had been abandoneJ at the Ox Bow, Mr. Markhus said that the work had been continued at all times, and that there was now and had leei for some time pattl, a lare force e gaged in in. tailing he.dg.ten, and that wattr wheel, had been ordered and wi re now on the way and would b delivered at the power iite within two or three week, and Immediately ii.M.lltxI. jcourt House Newsj County Commissioner Weaver re turned this week from Portland, where he attended the Oregon Com missioner's convention and the county court is a'ri i in full session. D. B. Purcell has filed suit against the Oregon Short Line to quiet title to lots 16 to 19, block 21, Ontario. The railway company has no absolute title to the property, but there remains an apparent ownership which thb plaintiff desires to make clear on the court records. John McLeod obtained judgment this week in the circuit court against Murray Bros, in the sum of $266.75, for money alleged to be due. All parties reside at Beulah. The Empire Lumber company has filed suit against Utopian Grange No. 390, for settlement of account. The Empire Lumber company brings suit against G. W. Gellasky et ux for recovery of $42.77, with interest. George F. Gardner has brought suit against T. F. and Margeritte E. Edmunsor., as guardian of the persons and estate of Alfred and Vernie Gard ner, minors, to foreclose on mort gage. J. L. Cole brings suit against C. M. Kellogg for recovery of money alleged to be due for the rent of lots 1 and 2, block 8, Vale, from July 1, 1911, to Jan. 1, 1913, amour.f'ng to $180. The complaint states that Kel logg paid one year's rent, $120, for use of the premises from July 1, 1910, to July 1, 1911. H. L. Waldo, of Boise, Idaho, as trustee for the bond holders, last Saturday paid the Sheriff $12,000 for the Vale Light & Water company's plant, but what the bondholders' plans are remains to be seen. Mean time, the light & water service goes on uninterrupted. Carrie B. Aker has filed a com plaint in the circuit court against Charles Howard Williams.

It is believed there has been some loss of life in the remoter districts. WHERE ONTARIO GOT ITS $10,000 REVENUE The Enterprise stated last week that the City of Ontario had levied a municipal tax of 5 mills for the en suing year, and the statement was and is correct, but the further state ment was cited that it was possible to levy such a low tax because of some $10,000 collected in fines in Ontario during 1912 was only partially correct As a matter of fact, the $10,000 was raised from the combined money obtained for licenses, concessions, fines etc. Frank Tamich was this week fined $15 and costs for disorderly conduct. LADIES' AID WILL ENTERTAIN The Ladies' Aid Society of the Christian church will have a Valentine Tea at the home of Mrs. R. G. Wheeler, op.

Mr. Markhus further stated that the company was the absolute owner of the land necessary to make this development, and that no other per son or company could develop this project without purchasing both land and works owned in fee by the Idaho Oregon company. Rockefeller and Harriman With particular reference to tha statement that the o-callcd Rocke feller and Harriman interest, were behind the adverse claimant, of these right., and that there was a power war between those interests and the owners of the Idaho-Oregon proper tie., he .aid that he neither knew of any such war nor wa. he advl.ed that the Rockefeller and Harriman inter et. were either engaged or proponed to engage In the power bu.iiie.. in Id. ho or Orcm. SHAD, JARR. BYRA Night was last Friday and . large number of front" for a good other place to go, ah of the steel gang, augr, laborers and some wouU. flooded the town and m like frontier days for a whik Long into the night; all ni fact; Vale was full of them, and b of them were full. The police dii rushing business, and as most of ' men had money after being paid by the railroad company, the c recorder also did a noticable busin the next day. About the first place that 50 pere of the men from "the front" after striking town is a liquor est: lishment, following the lack ui warmth and hardship encountered fori days and days out in the battle-with nature as railroad builders. Not all of them do this, and only a very few actually drink too much; they are pretty decent fellows as a whole, or intend to be, but the sud den transition from nothing to the delights of civilization frequently proves too strong a lure for some of "the boys" as seemed to be the case the last weekend. Fist fights were numerous about town, and more than one blackened eye or face was due to other causes. It was a crowd to conjure with, and the difference was in strong contrast to the time before they came, hungry for a little pleasure, and after they went over to Nyssa, there to work anew for a good time later on. POULTRY SHOW GOOD, AS USUAL, AT ONTARIO Poultry is the magic word this week on the tongues of everyone in Ontario, where the annual poultry show is concluding its third and final day as the Enterprise goes to press.

That's the way every body feels about it. We boost for the people who boost for us. Our bank war.ts the confidence and good will of everybody and we try to treat all fairly, but when the pressure is heavy it is this banks friends and patrons that we try to accomodate first.

Extends Invitation Growing? Yes! And there is a rea son for it. The one topic of conversation where ever you go is the Malheur Forwarding Co's store. The reason for their being known and talked of in all parts of the county is on account of their prices always being the lowest. You will always be met at their door by a courteous sales-clerk who will attend to your order to the best of his ability. They cordially invite all who have not visited their store to come in and see them. Those who have been there before do not need an invitation, they know where prices and service are the best. w M alheur Ford'g Co.
