Act Projects.
COUNTER CHARGE IS MADE
West Declared to Be Lined Cp With
Central Oregon Concern Against
Settlers Governor to Try
Complete Development.
KAi.smr or Dec. 17. (SDecial.)
The fight between Governor West and
State Engineer Lewis, became warm
today, when the Governor in a written
statement virtually accused the State
Engineer of being responsible for the
condition of the Carey act irrigation
projects in the state, and Mr. Lewis,
In response, declared that Mr. West
stands with the Central Oregon Irriga-

of the 50 settlers and contract holders.
The Governor sad ne woum ignore

to have the Stanley project, which the
Central Oregon irriganuu v.um1....y
wishes to turn back to the state ior
lion nno comnleted through state and
Federal co-operation.
Mr. Lewis says -mere are no ibiihh
on the north canal lands involved in
the Stanley offer, and that the tract
practically is United States property.
He has urged that the completion of
the project be done by the Federal Gov
ernment, and the Governor holds that
in doing so Mr. Lewis is trying to
shift responsibility.
Conditions Laid to EteKlneer.
The following are the Governor's
charges against Mr. Lewis:
"I note what State Engineer Lewis
has to say in reference to loading one
of the DesChutes Carey act projects
onto the Government, and I wish to say
that this suggestion is in keeping with
Mr. leW18 policy OX alWUja mm
the responsibility onto the shoulders of
someone else.
"I hold that the State Engineer,
through his lack of interest or his lack
of knowledge of these matters, is
largely responsible for existing condi
tions as to tnese tjarey aci prujin.

HOUSEHOLD PEST MENACE
Bedbug1 Big Factor In Plague Spread,
Says Physician.
NEW YORK, Dec 13. The cimexlec
tularles, less elegantly but more fa
miliarly known as the bedbug, is a still
mora danirerous Insect than is gener
ally supposed. It la a potent factor in
the transmission of tuberculosis, ac
cording to Dr. J, Walling Beverldge,
who has presented a paper on the sub
ject to the conference on safety and
sanitation which Is being held in this
city.
He said it was only recently that the
bedbug had been given serious consid
eration as a carrier of germs, but that
lately a number of authorities were
agreeing upon the possibility .that lep
rosy and spinal meningitis germs were
carried by this household pest and that
numerous cases had recently been cited
where tuberculosis Infection had been
seemingly caused by the bedbug.
It has been discovered that the bug
is able to live 229 days without food,
he remarked Incidentally In urging that
a publicity campaign be conducted to
warn housewives of the grave conse
quences which might result in permit
