Alter failures by private companies, the state took over the venture July 1, 1913. Mr. Laurgaard said that the res ervoir, -which would hold 20,000 acre feet of water, was closed yesterday, and that it. with other water supplies, would supply the tract of 22,500 acres. The Desert Land Board has nxea the price of the land at 40 an acre, the purchasers to pay one-tenth down and the remainder in 10 years. If they ir rigate and urepare for cultivation one- third of a tract of 40 acres within the first three years, payment of principal will be deferred. Mr. Laurgaard says it will cost from $15 to $25 an acre to prepare the land for cultivation. It is of volcanic ash and scrub cedar grows on most of it- The engineer says the land will grow all tuber plants, alfalfa and clover and that it win ce line zor dairying, raising hogs and cattle. More than 6000 acres have been sola on contract and the engineer believes it will not be long until all the land is taken. Settlers who bad, contracts witn the private companies which started the work and who do not want to make new contracts with the state will be reimbursed as the land Is sold. Mr. Laurgaard believes many of the old settlers will seek new contracts. O. M.

Some estates in Judge Cleeton's court extend back for 40 years and are still unsettled.

Citations have been setn out in large numbers to delinquent executors and administrators and this policy will be continued. Judge Cleeton prepared copy yesterday for a printed circular which he will send out to all charged with the responsibility of settling es tates. He will bring all such officials into his court and instruct them in their duties, besides giving each a copy of his printed instructions. This pamphlet says in part: "You are officers of the court and occupy positions of great responsibil ity. The funds and property of others have been intrusted to your charge.

(Special.) tVn assignment under the state insol voncy act is not retroactive against suits filed to collect on promissory notes, according to an opinion rendered by the bupreme Court In the suit of XI lu. I'elon against T. R. Sheridan, of ! Rosefcurg-. ! Sheridan made an assignment after the suit was instituted, and subse quently was forced into bankruptcy. Action to have the Judgment on the suit on the promissory note vacated on the ground that It had been dissolved by the assignment was filed by the trustee in bankruptcy- The opinion, which was written by Justice Moore, holds the as signment to have been invalid so far as it relates to the suit, and that the judgment should stand. rhe bankruptcy proceedings, having been started after the suit to collect on the note was instituted, could have no effect on the judgment, according to the court.

V. D. Paul has taken charge of organization plans. The association is strictly a co-operative instl tutlon. It is urged by the association that hop men do not contract their crop for next year until the association has presented its plans to the growers. If the grower needs money, his own association, it Is said, li in a better position to finance him than the buyer. The association hai Issued the following statement: "The hopgrowers of the state are erxan ized to better their condition and obtain better and more even prices from year to year and to offer members of the association all the advantages which go with the best co-operative associatkms. We are not fight ing anybody but propose to get what is honestly coming to us in the way of fair prices and fair dealings from every Interest connected directly or indirectly with the great hop Industry. The honest dealer will welcome such an organization. The short seller will soon be out of a job. The brewer will welcome such an associ ation because he is now being robbed at one end and the grower at the other. The bank ers have already stamped their approval of the Oregon Hopgrowers' Association because a powerful association managed by conserva tive business men will make its individual members a better bank risk and the associ ation cannot but help strengthen the grow ers credit. The supply men, for the same reason, will feel that the individual grower is a better and a safer customer when he is backed by his co-operative association. "The association is born to brace up and help the -weak grower and can be of the greatest help to its members and help them fight existing condition a We are formed to help, not to hinder, and are proud of the reception we have received from the bank' ers, business men and the growers." arrived yesterday.
