The Tract
The iuit of the State of Oregon against
the Three Sisters Irrigation Company.
Colombia Southern Irrigation Company,
Columbia Southern Irrigating Company
and W. A. Laidlaw is on trial in the
Federal court before Judge Bean. The
complaint recites thatj December 5, 1902,
the Three Sisters Irrigation Company,
which later became absorbed by the
other irrigating corporations, entered
into a contract with the State Land
Board of Oregon under the Carey act
whereby 27,000 acres were taken near
Bend, Or., and that on October 20 of
that year W. A. Laidlaw, against whom
the the complaint has since been dis
missed, was appointed selecting agent
by the State Land Board and L. D.
Weiet, surveyor and civil engineer.
It is set forth further that November
11, 1902, LaiJIaw, as agent of the Irri
gation company, filed a map, list of
lands and other data, placing the cost
of construction of the proposed irriga
tion system at I318.4S5.30 and the an
nnal cost of maintenance at f 1.15 an
acre, said maps exhibiting a scheme of j
irrigation sufficient to thoroughly irri
gate and reclaim all of the lands con
tained in the list. About the same
time Weist is alleged to have filed an
estimate with the State Land Board of
the amount of water available in Tuma
lo Creek, representing the maximum
flow therein at 3,476.41 cubic feet per
second, and minimum flow at 208 64
cubic feet per second. It is claimed
that November 19, 1902, C. Sam Smith
and M. E. Brink, president and secre
tary, respectively, of the company, filed
with the board an offer wherein each
wore that the irrigation company was
the owner of a water-right on Tumalo
Creek to the amount of 20,000 miner's
inches, and that the same was prior to
any other right, making application for
reclamation based upon a cost of f 277,
000. In accordance with these representa
tions, the complaint charges that the
state made application to the United
States to have the lands involved segre
gated from the public domain, resulting
in the Government entering into a con
tract with the state November 21, 1903,
to donate the tracts whenever an ample
supply of water was actually furnished
in substantial ditches or canals. It is
claimed further that on April 1, lant,
the defendants presented to the State
Land Board a list embracing 12,259.48
acres, representing the same to have
been reclaimed, of which area the
United states patented 11, fey. 48 acres
on these representations. The state in
its present suit sets up the ground that
these representations were fa se, and
charges the defendant corporation with
fraud in the rarious transactions.
Among other irregular proceedings, it
is claimed that the Columbia Southern
Irrigation Company, successor in inter
est to the Three Sisters Irrigation Com
pany, mortgaged all the property of the
latter to the Oregon Trust & Savings
Bank for 1175,000, and this corporation
is made one of the defendants in the
present action.
In reply the defendants deny that
they have been guilty of any irrejular
proceedings in the matter, declaring
that they have been actuated by legal
method all the way through. An or
der has been issued by the Federal
court authorising the receiver to collect
from all settlers upon the segregation
involved all unpaid maintenance fees
for 1907, 1908 and 1909, on the basis of
the number of acres actually irrigated
during each of those seasons. Telegram.

There has been a great deal of un
certainty and misunderstanding on
the part of school district oflleers re
garding the payment of school war
rants. Some officials maintaining
that each district Is a law unto ItseU
and can pay these school warrants
In whatsoever manner they see lit.
Irrespective of the date of registra
tion. Different Individuals have made
some strenuous kicks on being paid
out of turn, claiming a show of
! favoritism and Injustice. The mat
ter was referred to County Superin
tendent Ford and that official de
cided that the school warrant must
be paid In the order of registration.
This was his Interpretation of the
matter, but as the law was uot
specific on this point. Mr. Ford
wrote the attorney general, the
state superintendent of schools and
the district attorney for an opinion
and each and all of them sustained
his decision. School officers should
govern themselves accordingly.

branch Is an example of what will
one day be seen along the Deschutes

"In the Clearwater country wheat

and taken down to the railroad by
means of .aerial tramways. There
Is no reason why the same thing
should not be done In Sherman and
Wasco counties. Both are capable
of much greater development than
they now possess.
The Harrlman road now seems to
have begun to renllxe that It Is com
peting with a formidable opponent.
W. V. Cotton, general counsel for
the O. It. & N., next week will take
personal charge of the legal matters
now landing. Monday he will go
to The Dalles, where It Is likely an
Injunction proceeding will lie Institut
ed against the Oregon Trunk and
Porter Bros., growlug out of con
tested rights on the Dean ranch.
Mr. Cotton will go from thence to
Moro, where the Injunction restrain
ing the Oregou Trunk employes from
working on seven miles of right of
way in the vicinity of Horseshoe
Bend will be argued.
J. W. Twohy, head otthelfarrl-
man contracting firm, was In Port
land the last of the week and said
that from 1000 to 1200 men are now
engaged in coustructton work on
the Harrlman road. Twohy Bros.
have about C50 men now employ
ed on the contested ground west
of Shanlko anil men nre going for
ward at the rate of 100 to 130 dully.
Mr. Twohy estimates the Porter
forces In that locality at about 330.
Entrance to the Dean ranch has
been gained by Porter Bros, by cut
ting the wire fence but the Twohy
Bros.' men did not offer forcible re
sistance.
Both railroad contracting firms

men will be strung along the lH-s

The Collins Wireless Telephone Com
pany, represented by Messrs. O'Connor
and Curry, has installed a demonstrat
ing set of wireless instruments at the
Prinevitle hotel and many of those from
"Missouri" were.talking without wires
for the first time yesterday. Those
who tailed over the wireless 'phone
were amazed at its simplicity and ef
ficiency. Any child can operate it, and
it is fully apparent that the time is not
far distant whfn this marvelous in
vention will revolutionize the telephone
svstem. Poles and wires will not be
necessary, either, on land or sea,' and
scientists predict that in a very few
years every railroad train in the world
will be equipped with a wireless tele
phone. If we may judge from what the
Bell telephone has done in the past this
company surely has a great future be
fore it. 100 invested in Bell telephone
