GOVERNOR WEST
IS
UNFAIR, SAYS KAY
Desert Land Meetings Called
by Executive at His Con-
vience, Is Charge.
LOSS TO SETTLERS FEARED

SALEM. Or- Aug. 29. (Special.)
The disaffection' In the Desert Land
Board assumed a new phase today when
Governor West denied that he had
been absent from meetings aa often
as other members, and State Treasurer
Kay replied that most of the meetings
were called by the executive at his
own convenience.
"It is a question hardly worth qulb-
bllng over." said the State Treasurer.
"The Governor takes an unfair advan
tage of the other members when he
seeks to show that he has a better
record for attendance than they. Of
the 28 meetings in 1913 all but six
were called by the Governor. He Is
chairman of the Board."
Other, members of the Desert Land
Board called attention to the fact that
under the circumstances the Governor,
calling: meetings whenever he wishes,
naturally would attend more than they.
Many meeting's have been called by
the Governor when other members
were out of the city on official busi
ness. It also is said that numerous times
in the absence of the Governor from
the city the Board has wished to
transact important business, but de
ferred meetings until his return.
At a recent meeting of the Desert
Land Board, which was attended by all
members but Governor West, it was
unanimously decided to urge the Secre
tary of the Interior to grant an ex
tension of the contract between the
United States and this state, relating
to the property embraced in the Des
chutes Land Company irrigation project.
J. E. Morson, president of the company,
asked the extension on he ground that
it had been delayed and hampered by
investigations made by the state and'
Federal Government. Governor West
was the leading figure 1n both Investi
gations, Morson proving that his com
pany was operating within the law and:
in good faith.
The declaration of the Governor that
he will insist on the Interior Depart
ment not granting the extension, it is
alleged, may work a serious hardship
on the settlers, whom, he insists, he
wishes to protect- Attention is called
to the fact if Morson is unable to
finance the company the settlers will
lose everything they have invested and
it may be ten years before the land
is Irrigated. Governor West's statement
today in part follows:
1912 133 meetings held). Number of times
absent: Governor. 1: State Treasurer. 4;
Secretary of State. 7; State Engineer. 4;

CLARKE COURT. IS UPHELD
Supreme Tribunal Rules Against
Receiver of Defunct Bank.
OLTMPIA, WashT Aug. 29. (Spe
cial.) In a decision Involving the re
ceivership of. the defunct Commercial
Bank of Vancouver, Wash., the Supreme
Court yesterday held .that the bank
was responsible to pay, in full, money
deposited with it in a fiduciary ca
pacity. Fred Olson, as administrator of the
estate of Carl Peter Johnson, on De
cember 14, 1910. depositee! with the
bank $3070.60, preliminary to sending
It to the heirs, who resided abroad.
Five days later the bank closed its
doors and the receiver failed to honor
the demand for the money, although
about $13,000 cash was on hand, hold
ing that the Johnson estate would
have to take Its chances with other
depositors. Before the case could be
tried, Olson, the administrator, died,
and the heirs were substituted ' as
plaintiffs. The Clarke County Court
gave them Judgment for the amount
named and costs, holding that the
money was held as a special deposit, in
a fiduciary capacity, and the Supreme
Court sustains this view.

Bainbrldge Island, by lira Ida P.
Westman, who is to be tried soon for
the murder of her husband. Axel West
man, a night watchman - at the Hall
Brothers Shipyard.
Westman waa found dead with a
bullet hole In his head Aorll 29. 1913.
Mrs. Westman's trial is scheduled to
begin before Judge French In the Kit
sap County Superior Court Septem
ber 10.
According to Mrs. Westman, who
goes to Bainbrldge Island from Seattle
every day in search of evidence that
will convince a Jury of her innocence.
John Hubbard, manager of the Hall
Shipyards. Is ready to change the tes
timony he gave during the Inquest.
Hubbard testified that on the night
Westman was shot ha heard the night
watchman and his wife in a heated
quarrel in the engine-room of the
plant. He gave the time, the woman
declares, as a few minutes before 12
o'clock. Hubbard, Mrs. Westman says,
has now given her assurance he will
take the stand in her behalf at the
trial.
Sympathy of the neighbors, once
strongly against Mrs. Westman. has
veered somewhat. She and her two
children are supported by the work of
an 11-year-old son in a Seattle depart
ment store and milk sold1 by Mrs. West
man, who has one cow.
WOMAN CHARGES FUED
SHOT FIRED AS SHE RIDES BY
HOUSE. SHE SAYS.
Horse Shies and Hurls Her From
Saddle and She Is Dragged
Bleeding and Brnlsed.
BAKER. Or., Aug. 29. (Special.) To
be shot at, the shot missing her but
frightening her horse so that she was
thrown from the saddle and dragged
by the stirrup until badly injured was
the story told by aged Mrs. John Ol
brlch, who came to the city from Big
Creek today to report to the grand
Jury.
Mrs. Olbrlch says the trouble Is the
outcome of a feud between the Olbrlch
and Clayton Harsen families. As she
rode past the house Harsen fired at
her, so she says. The bullet struck the
ground near the horse, who shied, dis
mounting her. Her foot caught in the
stirrup and she was dragged for sev
eral yards. Her face, shoulder and
hip were bruised and she was rendered
unconscious. When she recovered she
crawled on her hands and knees to
her home one and one-half miles away,
the Harsens offering no assistance, she
says.
Mrs. Olbrlch thinks the alleged shoot.
Ing is the result of her aged husband's
shooting one of Harsen's horses last
Spring whpn he said they broke Into
his pasture.

BOND TEST TO BE MADE
Lewis ton Bridge Issue Will Likely
Go Before Supreme Court.
OLTMPIA. WashTXug. 29. (Special.)
Basis for a test in the Supreme Court
of the legality of the $50,000 Lewlston
bridge bond issue was laid today when
Acting-Governor Hart and Auditor
Clausen, as a majority of the State
Board of Finance, bid for the bonds
In eplte of the opinion of the Attorney
General, holding them invalid, and then
as officials accepted their own bid.
With the return of Governor Lister
and the attendance of Treasurer Meath,
absent today, it is anticipated the
Board of Finance will later withdraw
Its bid and refuse to accept the bonds,
which will enable mandamus proceed
ings to be brought in the Supreme
Court to compel compliance with their
bid.

GOOD PEP0T IS PROMISED
Guest of Honor at Luncheon Says
Line Probably Will Be in Oper
ation When Bridge Over
Willamette Is Dedicated.
NEWBERG. Or., Aug. !9. (Special.)
President Strahorn, of the Portland,
Eugene & Eastern Electric line, who
was expected here yesterday, was com
pelled to postpone his visit until to
day. He was received at the station
by a committee from the Commercial
Club, taken down to the Willamette
River bridge and entertained at lunch
eon at the Imperial Hotel, the pro
prietor of which, William Bell, won
the prise of (SO offered by Strahorn
for a name for the combined lines
suggesting "The Willamette Valley
Lines." There were 40 business mon
of Newberg at the luncheon and sev
eral from the Commercial Club, of St.
Paul, just across the river.
Mr. Strahorn. in an address, said that
he was In search of information at all
times and that such visits as the one
he was making to Newberg afforded
opportunity to gather just such Infor
mation as he was seeking.
Diversified Farming Irared.
He Insisted that one of the needs
of Oregon was more diversified farm
ing. He considered the canning in
dustry one of great importance to the
state and In this connection mentioned
the success In that line that had been
achieved at Eugene and Corvallls. With
the cannery at the latter place he was
able to speak from personal knowledge.
Beginning with but $200 capital only a
few years ago it will send out this
year from (0 to 70 carloads of canned
goods and put money In the pockets of
at least ZOO fruit growers.
Mr. Strahorn emphasized the value
of co-operation of business men In a
community and said that In every
town there should be such combina
tions of influence and energy. He was
familiar with an Instance where four
men whose combined capital did not
exceed $25,000 (including their bor
rowing credit) and yet they built a
railroad 2000 miles . long. He bad
found, however, that usually, about 10
per cent only of men in any commun
ity possessed public spirit and spent
time and money to advance the interests-
of that community.
Good Depot Promised.
As to the date when the company
would operate Its line to Newberg he
said that he was not able to say, but
he understood that there was to be a
celebration of the completion of the
bridge across the Willamette in a few
months and he was confident that the
road would be In operation by that
time and that the company could join
with Newberg In that celebration.
W. S. Wharton, preaident of the
Commercial Club requested Mr. Stra
horn to take into consideration the
business originating here for the rail
road company in comparison with that
of other communities of the sise of
Newberg to give to Newberg a rail
way station worthy of such a volume
of business. He said that he- would
certainly do so.
A tour was made of the country ad
jacent to Newberg in order that Mr.
Strahorn might get & clearer idea of
what is being done to develop the
country.
Mr. Strahorn returned to Portland on
the 4 o'clock train.

GRADE CONCESSIONS ASKED
Requirements of Railway Declared
Impracticable In Twin Cities.
OLYMPIA. Wash., Aug. 2. (Spe
cial.) The Olympia Southern, the new
Milwaukee branch being constructed
from the Olympic peninsula and Grays
Harbor districts to tap the main Una,
has filed with the public service com
mission petitions asking that It be al
lowed to construct its lines through
the cities of Centralia and Chehalis at
grade with the streets.
Although the Public Service Commis
sion, under recent laws, has adopted
the policy of requiring grade separa
tion, especially from new roads, at all
places of any size, the Olympia South
ern alleges that a grade crossing at
Centralia and Chehalis Is the only
possible method to be followed. It will
be impossible for - the railroad to go
underground, it is alleged, because of
the presence of water immediately be
low the surface, while it is declared
that aa overhead crossing is imprac
ticable on account of there being no
practical manner of getting passengers
and freight up to and down from the
elevation that would be required.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 29. Captain
James Leslie, of the British steamship

As proof he cites a happening among

and climbed into the canoe, where he
laughed merrily as he caught ship's

The captain adds that there are only

Captain of Nameless Craft Once Un
der Admiral Togo Tells Story
Shattered by Authorities.
VANCOUVER, B. C Aug. 29. (Spe
cial. ) Captain Newcombe, of the fish
eries cruisor William Jollffe. returned
to port today, having placed under ar
rest a nameless Japanese vessel which
ten days ago put into Port bimpson
on the northern British Columbia
Coast. The Japanese vessel is a three-
masted barque of 147 tons, with no
clearance papers, no manifest and no
bill of health.
The Japanese shipmaster tendered
the explanation that his destination
had been Cape Cacun, in Alaska, but
as he had no charts he got off his
course and made for land at Port
Simpson.
Captain Newcombe, however, discov
ered several charts on board the
barque. Moreover, these charts had the
British Columbia harbors marked in
red ink.
It was also discovered that the Jap
anese captain had served under Ad
miral Togo in the navy and that the
crew of 21 hands Included former blue
Jackets and naval cadets.
This is the third mysterious japa-
nese craft discovered on the Coast. She
will probably be condemned by the
Government and sold.
