TbM who attended the board meeting;
Mr that when Moraen and the Governor
bad became exi-lto. Jiorsen ordered the
tats'a Chief tn-cuilr to sit down, and
trrat the Governor responded aa fol
low :
"Too can't make me sit down. No man
can come Into tM offlre and tell ma to
to to hell. I am coina- to talk here lone
enough to tell you what I think of you
and the whole matter."
The trouble arose over the mention of
deallnira of the Deschutes Land Com
pany. Bluff Endrd. Says Governor.
"Moraen haa had the boarda bltiffed In
the past.- declared Governor West In
xplalnln his aide of the situation.
Vbndittons have been such on that proj
ect that there has bwn no protection
for the settlers. At one time the com
pany was In default on Its contract and
tna board had leverage on him. When
we granted him an extension of time It
was only wnen we secured his personal
bond and the bond of Ms father-in-law
to back him up.
Protection Is Demanded.
"If the company comptetee Its project
and wants to sell tha land, we:: and
rood, but If he sticks the money Into
his own pockets we have no redress
and there Is no protection for the set
tlers, m addition to this, be could eell
tha options over and over again aa far
as we are concerned before we could
sto him.
-We wanted him to show what he haa
Itot and what roods he can deliver for
the settlers. He has 'horsed" us long
enough, and we Intend to see that there
Is some protection for tha settlers.
Some time ag-o tha Government called
our attention to the matter ha haa been
sending through the malls.
"So recently we aent him a letter
demanding that he furnish us with
complete data showing how much
money he had collected, how many op
tions he had sold, aa well as to what ha
IntendeJ to do on the project. In ad
dition we demanded that he establish a
trust fund of this money to assure the
settlers of a square deal.
"We told him In that letter .that un
less these things were forthcoming wa
would request the postal authorities to
take action which wouel result In his
being dented the use of the malls.
"He haa corr.e bar and declared wa
were attemptfhg to blackmail him. I
don't care how much money he makes,
hu tl want to see tha settlers protected
but I want to eee the settlers protected
will be completed."
Right Acting la Sought.
Fresldent Morsen of the Deschutes
I-and Company, said: "When Governor
West stepped onto the board ha
thought he an a little God. I have
been reported on previous occasions aa
leaving the room of the Desert Land
Board In huff. I left disgusted with
the thought that the people of Oregon
had elected such a man as Governor,
who was all the dignity of rowdyism
and no more. I would not strike West
because he Is too small and because ha
Is Governor of the state.
"Tha company Is working strictly
along legal lines." continues President
Morsen. "We have legal rlghta
throughout on our side and the board,
or rather Governor Weat. Is attempt
ing to outline for as a few moral
grounds and Incidentally he tried to
blackmail us. Wa have a letter In the
safe In our offices which would be sub
ject of a blackmail suit If some of the
members of the Desert Land Board had
rot acknowledged that they had noth
ing to do with signing the letter and
repudiated all connection with such a
lettee."
The letter follows:
Too will note from attached enptea of let
ns rcnt1y received br the Dmsi-i Land
Board that several complaints are bws

The above letter was malted June
;." said Mr. Morsen. "and that gave us
but five day In which to prepare all
of the Information aought. The letter
was Immediately turned over to my
attorney, who advised me that It was
a clear case of blackmail. Those re
quirements that were made by Wert
and Olott were requirements that
could not be demanded by law and those
men were endeavoring to secure some
thing by a threat which the law would
not allow them.
Dispute Terrnned Personal.
"Governor West haa declared to ma
several times that he Intended to 'make

that matter and f have told M mthat
he couldn't do It. tl has simmered down

Fanned by a stiff breeze, which rose
unexpectedly yesterday morning, the
several forest fires In the Umpqua Na

spreading with alarming rapidity.
In order to cope with the situation.
Forest Supervisor Bartrum today dis
patched 100 men to various parts of
tho county to assist the army of fire
fighters previously sent to the Are

These fires are being fought under
the direction of F. A. Elliott, state for
ester, who arrived In Roseburg today.
Most of the fires are burning in Iso
lated sections of the county, inaccessi
ble to trails or wagon roads, and con
sequently it Is difficult to get men and
supplies to places of advantage. In
some Instances swamping out of trails
through the canyons is necessitated In
order to reach the flames.
Tonight every available man has
been employed by the Roseburg for
estry office and appeals are being sent

long, but In four or five places the
fire Is said to have Jumped the fire line.
The fira is burning toward the east,

SALMON CATCHES GROW
Even Distribution of Fish Cheers
Men in Lower Columbia.
ASTORIA, -Or., July 31. (Special.)
The catch of salmon last night and to
day was the best of the Paent sea
son, so far as the total deliveries at
the packing plants are c oncerned . and
while the individual catches probably
were no larger than they have been
made several times this year the fish
were more evenly distributed in the
river and more of the men made good
hauls. Reports from all sections from
the bar, as far up as Altoona, an
nounce good results. ....,
In what is known as the Chute,
near Harringtons Point, where the fish
ing thus far has been poor, one man
secured 2200 pounds last night. .. .He
ports from one receiving f,11'0", tV,t
that the smallest amount delivered this
morning by a single boat was 500
pounds, while sc.ie of the deliveries
ranged as high as a ton The seing
grounds and the outside traps also did
much better today tha,n they have
heretofore. . . . .
An encouraging feature is that the
fish average large, are of exceptionally
fine quality, and their spawn- is small,
showing that they are not yet ready
to ascend to the upper waters of the
spawning streams and that thlt i is not
the last school of fish which will enter
the river.

of the three architects selected for
that purpose will go over the plans
and by a process of elimination reduce
them to not more than 10 or a dozen.
Then will come the real task of pick
ing out the plans to be adopted. The
Idea of having three architects assist
In the selection of the plans was car

all would have an equal chance and
so that-there would be no dissatis

The last Legislature authorized the

that will be let this Fall so that work
can be started In the Spring and the

SALEM, Or., July 31. (Special.)
The long-continued fight that has been
waged in this city to secure a pure

to the action taken at the Council
meeting tonight a report received today
by City Health Officer Miles as to the
purity of the city water has aroused
interest. Four tests made by state
bacteriologists show Impurities rang

City Health Officer Miles said: "Com

water looks and smells bad."

charged that Captain Pugh and Driver
Brotherton had used improper lan
guage. The report said that Chief
Darr, of the central department, has
known of the trouble for two months

is a menace .to Salem, especially the
eastern part of town, and favors expul
sion of the offending employes.
Councilman Durbin, who introduced
the other resolutions, objected to the
action of the Council in spending all
the money available on the Twelfth
street bridge and says he will fight
this to the end.
The city has twice voted against
bonding for new bridges and the third
time the City Council turned a charter
amendment toward the same end. As
a result an appropriation of $7500 was
voted to repair one bridge on Twelfth
street and Durbin opposes this as be
ing unreasonable. -

At first there appeared red,
hard pimples which later
contained white matter. I
suffered a great deal caused
by the itching. I was in a
state of perplexity when
walking the streets or any

"I used pills and othef
remedies but they failed com

up when nothing would help, but sometninj
told me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointj
ment. I sent for a Cuticura Booklet which I
read carefully. Then I bought some Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and by following the
directions I was relieved in a few days. I
used Cuticura Soap for washing my face,
aud applied the Cuticura Ointment morning
and evening. This treatment brought mar
velous results so I continued with it for a
few weeks and was cured completely. I can
truthfully say that the Cuticura. Remedies
are not only all, but more than they claim
to be." (Signed) Q. Baumel, 1015 W. 20th
