Irrigation Company Wants to Re claim Additional 74,000 Acres in Crook County. SALEM. Or.. Oct. 6. (Special.) The State Land Board today heard and took under advisement the application of the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Company for a contract for the recla mation of 74.000 acres of land south and east of the tract that company is already reclaiming In the vicinity of Bend. Crook County. This new tract Is what la known as the Benham Falls project.

Heretofore the rules have requested purchasers of re claimed land to reside three months on the land and put one-eighth of It under cultivation within three years from the date of application; The rule adopted today permits - the settler to "prove up" by showing a 30-day resi dence, the cultivation of 75 per cent of his land, and the erection of a four room house.

MUST NOT INJURE RACE Owners of Power-Dam Must Pro-Tide- Passage) for Logs Other Decisions Rendered by Ore gon . Supreme Court. SALEM. Or.. Oct. . (Special.) Each litigant won a partial victory In the cele brated water right suit of Trulltng-er vs. Howe, which the Supreme Court decided today. The suit arose over the conflicting- interests of power-users and loggers, and the court has ruled that each has rights which he may exercise, but neither to the Injury of the other. . D. P. and Carl 6. Trullinger own a.mill and light plant on North Yamhill River, near the town of North Yamhill. The mill operates by water power, the water being turned from the river by a dam four feet high and 60 feet long. W. A. Howe owns timber higher up the stream and In order to float them down con structed splash dams to hold and release the water. Tho operation of his splash dams withheld water from Trulllnger's mill and Ailed the mlllrace with debris. The Trullingers brought this suit to en Join but were defeated In the court be low after trial before Judge Galloway. An appeal was then taken to the Su preme Court. In an opinion by Chief Justice Bean the Supreme Court holds that the North Yamhill River is a floatable stream and that Howe has a right to float logs therein, but has no right to do so to the injury of Trullinger. On the other hand, the court also holds that the Trullinger dam is an unlawful obstruction to tite stream because no passage way is provided for logs. Trull inger asserted a right by prescription upon the ground that they have main tained their dam for 40 years. The court expresses a doubt whether a right to obstruct a navigable or floatable stream can be acquired by prescription but does not decide this point for the reason that It appears from the evidence that Trull inger never claimed the right to obstruct the stream. Under this dAlslon both Trullinger and Howe can use the stream provided they can adjust their use to harmonize with the rights of the other. Other cases decided today are ea fol lows: Will R. King, respondent, substituted as respondent In the Supreme Court tor the First National Bank of Payette. Idaho, formerly respondent but now appellant, vs. William Nelblar, appellant, from Malheur County, G.orpe E. Davis. Judge, affirmed; opinion by Chief Justice Bean. A. M.

Catlln Linn, appellants, vs. S. w. Jones, respondent. froi Marlon County: George H. Burnett. Judge, reversed and remanded: opinion by Justice Eakin. In this case the court holds that where a buyer is able to pay and he has the money In a nearby bank, from which it can be readily secured, his tender of pay ment or readiness to pay is good even If he has not the money on his person.
