It wijl require J40.000.000 to complete I irrigation projects In various parts of the West and Northwest after the In terior Department - expends all the money now available for reclamation purposes, says Ernest Lister, Governor of "Washington, who returned last night from last week's conference of Governors at Denver and who re mained in Portland for a few hours to attend the waterways convention. The Governor left on a midnight train for Puget Sound and will pitch the first ball at the Northwestern League opening at Tacoma today. "The call made by Secretary Lahe for the Denver meeting was for the purpose of endeavoring to outline some plan for Federal and state co-operation," said Governor Lister last night. "in the further prosecution of recla mation work. As is usually true at I meetings of this character, a large amount of time was spent -by" some of the delegates in discussing the failures of the past, without submitting any plan for future work. Governor West submitted a plan lor Federal and state co-operation, and Carrol B. Graves, one of the delegates from the state of Washington, presented a method of co operation, being in its essential details I much the same as that of Governor West. One Suggestion Approved. "The suggestion receiving the great est degree of approval was that sub mitted by the committee on irrigation districts, of which Asa B. Thompson, "f Echo, Or., was chairman. The re port was presented to the conference by Ira P. Englehart. of North Yakima, who occupied all of the time allotted to the committee for Its presentation. The plan suggested is as follows: " 'That the United States Reclama tion Service, by proper legislation, be empowered and authorized to take as compensation for the construction. completion or financial assistance of I irrigation districts, bonds issued there by, such bonds to run for a period of 20 or more years and draw a low rate of interest; the Federal Government and the states to co-operate to the end that the purposes of this reclamation be carried out in a practical manner." "This plan especially appealed to the aeiegation Irom my state, for the rea son it so nearly appears to meet our conditions. Varied Interests Hamper. "The the Governors' conference a number of other matters were consid ered. On account of the widely differ ent interests of the Western states, the resolutions were not as strong in cer tain directions as some of the Gov ernors desired. Discussing the appointment by Lieutenant-Governor Hart of Arthur Gunn and Waldo G. Paine as regents of thfe fatato College, the Governor said he preseumed something must have de veloped immediately upon his leaving me state mat convinced the Lieuten ant-Governor there was necessity of prompt action. "I presume I will be advised upon my arrival at uiympia what the neces sity for making the appointment was. lie said. "Matters have been moving along in a satisfactory way with three members, all of whom have been and still are taking an active Interest in the affairs of the Institution. I was aware of. the vacancies and had good and sufficient reasons for not filling them. Before leaving the state I had no conversation with Lieutenant-Governor Hart in relation to his filling any vacancies and was very much sur prised when I received information through the press while in Denver that appointments had been made."

PrRDY INTIMATES TO COl'RT THAT WINTERS LEFT "ILL. Character W 1 1 n Barred, bat More Trotlmoay May Be Offered aad All Week Required. Intimation was made in court yes terday by Will EL Purdy that IL V. Winters, whose Grand avenue property Is beins; contested for. had left a will. Judge Morrow, however, quickly shut out any testimony of such nature, and directed Mr. Purdy to continue with his case. Purdy is contesting the state's right to escheat the estate of Winters, who died in 1S11. and declares lie received a deed from Winters, which was not made public until after Win ters' deatli because of an agreement made at the time the deed was given. The contents of the instrument, which Mr. Purdy intimated was a will, are not known. Mrs. Ixira Maxfield, who at one time was a claimant for the property, testified that the Instru ment was in Winters' strong box at the time of his death and was with held by her when she delivered all others papers to Agnes Butts, admin istratrix of the estate. Mrs. Maxfield was housekeeper for Winters for sev eral years prior to his death and testi fied that Winters had promised that he would leave a large portion of his property to her. Just before court adjourned yester day Mr. Purdy said he rested his case. but later requested the court to allow him until Wednesday, when the case is taken up again, to announce whether he would offer any more testimony. It has been expected by attorneys for the state that Purdy would take the stand in his own behalf, and his announce ment yesterday ca.me as a surprise to all who are taking part in the trtal. It is improbable that the case will po to the Jury before the last of the week. EXCELSIOR LIOII'S FOOD S II RIVER AT CIRCVS WILL SHOW HOW ROAR MAT BE (JIELLED.

WESTERN UNION FIGHTS COMPANY WANTS SHERIFF RE STRAINED IN TAX LEW. chlse of CorporattoB Ie Alleged to Have Beea Coafcrred by Coa- la 1887. Suit to restrain Sheriff Word from levying on any of its property for the colection of delinquent taxes for the ycirs 1906. 1407. 1908 and 1909 was lilrd yesterday by the Western Union Telegraph Company, through Attor neys Dolph. Mallory, Simon tc Gearin and Hall S. Luslc. The amount of taxes for the tour years, the complaint states, is $lo:i and the penalty for de linquency l50S.Su. Collection of the taxes is resisted by the company on the ground that the franchise, assessed at 115.000, against which the taxes would be collected, was granted by an act of Congress adopted In 1566. the terms of which were accepted by the company In 167 permitting telegraph t'ampMiifes t- construct lines over and through ell public domain of the United Slates ami alor.g military roads. Suit wus instigated Fcveral months ago by Attorneys Emmuna Ac WebMer to collect the taxes, but was dismissed after United States District Judge Wolverton rendered a decision, hold ing that thj county might collect de linquent taxes from the Pacific Tele phone & Telegraph Company for ull years sinco 1&08. Judge Wolverton held that prior to that time taxes could not be collected against franchises of tel graph companies, because fran chises were not defined by the Legisla ture as property until 19o7. After his decision Attorneys Em mons A Webster had the case against the Western Union Company, Involv ing similar issues, dismissed and since has advised the county to levy on prop erty for the collection of taxes and penalties for the year 1908 and 10. The taxes for these two years amount to JoTO and the penalty to S224.10. I'Ann OF THANKS.
