Tho Iii'Ncliulua Lund Compa
ny's projoct. of which J. K Mor
son Is tho tit-lid, Is locutcil ni'iir
Lupine and Includes over 81,000
aerus.
Tho mutter oriK'inutml Kilduy
when (iovomor Wont rilled upon
the Hoard to nhow whro Mor
son had us;roud to a domand of
tho Hoard to furnish all Inform i
lion lis to salt of options. Treas
urer Kay had received a atuto
incut from Morson aloiij? these
lino, but tho trouble between
thu Governor ami Morson at tho
meeting ot last July which Hour
ly resulted In a list tight, hud
left tho executive and tho head
of tho company on no friendly
terms and as u result it was
charpod that tho information
was n it sent oflldully to tho
Hoard.
Tho fact that a demand was
in ado by Morson as well that tho
information bo kept private and
not bo diseeminuted publicly,
caused tHo Governor further to
make tho demand tody, In th 8
i c-tpect the Hoard decided not to
accept tho information received
and to aslc for further informa
tion tint cou 1.1 bo used as public
matter
Governor West also declared
thut the sulo of options must
cease. Stato Treasurer Kay
said ho would back the Governor
up In this move, only ho desired
to explain his attitude.
"Tho Governor believes there
has been a vlolulioii of tho con
tract," said tho State Treasurer,
"and has so expressed himself
frequently. As funis I am con
cerned I do not agree with him
as to a violation of tho contruct.
It seems to bo the consonsus of
opinion anions; attorneys with
whom I have discussed tho mat
ter that tho contract is not beinr
violated In sellinjr options and
that wo have no legal recourse.
Yet, if thoro is a cause of action
I believe it should bo taken up
through tho courts."
Attorney General Crawford
was tho only member of tho
Hoard voting "no," Secretary
Olcott voting with the tiovernor,
but not explaining his vote.
Tho Attorney General explain
ed his voto by declaring ho a a
satisfied that there had been n i
violation of tho contract; tha'. in
his absence Attornoy Bristol, of
Portland, had advised the Hoard
that thero had boon no viola! i m
und that he, as Attorney-General
agreed with Bristol thoroughly;
thut there hud been no evidence
of sales of land or evidence th, t
settlers had ever boon on the
lund or v ere on tho land now and
that he was further of the opinion
that the company was acting
well within its rights end that it
would not only bo useless but
would be a detriment to the state
to take the step proposed.
"I believe the Desert Land
Board would be placing itself in
a position where it would be re
tarding the growth of tho state
and interfering with its prospar
ity," he said.
Governor West in making his
statement declared thut . bo be
lieved tho contract forbids tho
sales of such options; thut if it
does not it is nevertheless wrong
aud places tho settlors in an un
certain and unsafo position and
that it should be stopped or tho
contract forfeited.
Full Information as to tl.o com
pany and Its uffuirs will be se
cured as completely as possibW
and I in mod lately turned over
to the Attorney General for him
to tuko the steps as set out In
the resolution.
The (Ucsiion of the suflleiency
of the IDO.OOO bond under which
tho company la operating also
arose and a new bond will be
called for. It being aisurted that
tho bond ' not a surety bom),
but Is signed as a personul bond
and includesaiunng the guaran
tor, Murson'a follier In law.
The Hoard toduy also went
over the modi lied proposal of the
Central Oregon Irrigation Coin
pan and made a few light
chunves. The in oJ i Dint ion n are
considered immaterial and it Is
believed a settlement will be
reach d at the meeting; culled f r
next Wednesday.
