GUARDIAN IS REQUESTED Children of Mrs. Scliluellcr Do Not Want Iter to Found Old Wom en's Home With Her Money, and Clash Is Result. Because Mr. Elizabeth Schluetter, 67 years old, wishes to endow a home for old women, her three married daughters yesterday began action In County Judge Cleeton court for the appointment of a guardian. They contend that their mother Is no longer able to manage her own affairs. Mrs. Schluotter Is vigorously fighting against the appointing of a guardian and stoutly maintain that she" Is able to take care of herelf. Further than that, she ntlmated yesterday In court that her daushters are concerning themselves over her money affalra through mercenary motives. She ha retained Attorney. C. J. Schnabel and C. T.

LOWKST BID IRREGl'LAR Contractor Omits Specifications in Seeking County I 'arm Work. Contract for construction of the new County Farm and power plant at Trout dale will not be Issued to Kdward Kll- feather, contractor, who was declared the lowest bidder Saturday by the County Court. Complaint was lodged by other competing contractor that Kllfeather's bid was not accompanied by specifica tions or a certilied check. In accordance with requirements. Perusal of the Kil feather bid Indicated that he offered it a general way to do the work for IS3.172 without setting out in detail the nature of the work he would perform. It will accordingly be necessary to ad vertise again for bids. There were a dozen bidders before, and with each knowing the other's figures It Is thought possible that much lower figures will be submitted. "I don't care whether they give If to the highest bidder or to the lowest bid der." said KJlfeather last night, "but I do think that my bid. as originally ac cepted by the County Court, met with all requirements, and it Is unjust to me to reconsider the contract In this way. Kilfeather would not say whether he would again submit a bid or not. M'GIXX WOULD SWEEP DOCKET Judges to Confer on Best Way to Prevent Jail Congestion. Early trial for persons held on crimi nal charges may be provided for at a conference of the five Circuit Judges of this district. Judce MoGInn has sug gested the neoesslty of such a confer ence, pointing out that prisoners are often held In the County Jail for five and six months without a hearing, and that occasionally witnesses In Important cases are held- In Jail for weeks or even months. A thorough checking over of the pris oners now In the Jail is suggested by Judge McGinn with a view to bringing those to early trial who have been held for long periods. In this way the Judge says the overcrowding of the jail and attendant unsanitary conditions will be eliminated and the cost to the county of I II-. .1 I n Inll -III UUAUlilg lilt? lllBUIICia 1 11 illC JAI1 nil. be reduced materially.

Colonization Planned. Completion during the present year of a large irrigation project in Harney County was announced last night by William Hanley, head of the company that is putting through the project. Between 70,000 and 80,000 acres of land will be put In readiness for cultivation when the canal is finished. The project is in the Blitzen Valley and the principal work, that of con structing 15 miles of canal, is now re ported by Mr. Hanley as nearlng com pletion. But three miles of work' re main unfinished and this should be disposed of by Fall, Mr. Hanley says. The canal is 10 feet deep with a width of 30 feet. Plans for colonization are to be made as soon as definite assurance is given of a railroad through the coun try included in the project. "We feel certain the transportation will be pro- lded in due course of time, said Mr. Hanley. "The land will make homes for many thousands of people as soon as there is a railroad or definite , assurance of the construction of a railroad." The canal has been in course of con struction for eight years. It will serve the purpose of draining swamp lands and irrigating arid sections.
