10 TITE 3IORXIXG OTtEGOXIAN. SATURDAY. JULY IT, 1915. NO TIME GRANTED TO LAKES LESSEE Land Board Tells Mr. Moore to File Bond Monday or Lose $10,000 Forfeit. FURTHER BIDS PROPOSED State Officials Decide One Extension Sufficient in Spite or Plea That Money Market Is to Blame for Delay in Guaranty. SALEM, Or.. July 16. (Special.) The State Land Board today notified C. A. gheppard. of Portland, attorney for Jason C. Moore, lessee of Summer and Albert Lakes, that unless a bond of $25,000 was furnished by next Monday night, $10,000 deposited by Mr. Moore as a guaranty of good faith would be declared forfeited. Mr. Sheppard. upon Instruction of Mr. Moore, wrote the board requesting that his client be given until January 1. 1917, to file the bond. He already had been given an extension of 60 days, the time expiring next Monday. Mr. Shep pard was further notified by the Board that unless the bond was filed as di rected, other persons would be allowed immediately to bid for the lakes. Money Market In Blamed. They are said to contain rich mineral and salt deposits, and Mr. Moore, when awarded the contract, said he expected to expend at least $7,000,000 In their development. He has written Mr. Shep pard that it is difficult to obtain bond because of the financial conditions as a result of the war, and that Oregon engi neers who promised to develop certain water power on the Deschutes River have failed him. Mr. Moore in his letters to Mr. Shep pard said that he believed if the ex tension asked were granted he would be able at its expiration to raise the money desired for the development of the property. He also intimated that there was a bare possibility that he would be able to provide the $25,000 bond by next Monday. Two Oppose Extension. Secretary of State Olcott and State Treasurer Kay vigorously opposed granting an extension, and insisted that the deposit be declared forfeited if the bond were not filed before the present time limit. Declaring that he had never thought favorably of the scheme because of the report of the engineer of the Oregon Agricultural College that the deposits were of comparatively lit tle value. Governor Withycombe thought no harm could be done by giving Mr. More another extension of from 30 to 60 days. "Mr. Moore must have had faith in it. however," continued the Governor, "or he would not have deposited the $10,000. He might be given 30 or 60 days more." Board Mates Monday Last Day. Messrs. Kay and Olcott explained that Mr. Moore made it plain in his letters that he could do nothing in so short a time, and it finally was the unanimous decision of the Board that the bond must be deposited by Monday or the deposit would be declared forfeited and new bids would be received. While the members of the Board were not optim isted as to the reception of new bids, they thought it but fair that anyone who desires a lease should be given an opportunity to obtain It. It was suggested that in case another lease is not given, and Mr. Moore pro vided bond January 1, 1917, he be given credit for $10,000. While the members looked with favor upon the plan, it was decided not to act upon the proposal until the bond was submitted. Mr. Moore received the contract for the lakes from the State Land Board during the administration of Governor West, with the stipulation that It must be approved by the Legislature. That approval was given, despite much oppo sition notably by W. Lair Thompson, President of the Senate, and I. H. Bing ham and I. N. Day. state Senators.

WATER ELECTION DELAYED Milwaukie Council Hopes for Agree ment With Private Companies. MILWAUKIE. Or.. July 16. (Spe cial.) The Milwaukie Council may de cide to purchase the two plants of the Milwaukie Water Company and the Minthorne Springs Company, if an agreement can be reached. The rea son a date was not fixed for the spe cial bond election soon to be called was to give an opportunity to confer again with the owners of the two plants. If an agreement is made a bond election for $20,000 will be called. "1 favor purchasing these two plants if the owners will accept a reasonable sum, what they are worth to the city at the present time," said ex-Mayor Phillip Streib, and president of the Milwaukie Bank, today, "but oppose paying a high price as most of the mains would not stand the pressure of Bull Run water. We have 130 pounds pressure here on Main street, and If the water were turned into the mains I fear it would blow them up. I want to see the owners treated fairly, but no more. "The next question of importance coming up in Milwaukie, after the water, is that of annexation to Port land. It is coming forward right along, but how soon I could not say."

AID TO STATE CONSIDERED Objection to "Milking Settlers for Benefit of Oregon" by Sale of Land Grants at Market Value Is Expressed. SALEM. Or.. -July 16 (Special.). With more than two-thirds of the mem bers of the Legislature on record, only one has declared himself aa positively opposed to the suggestions of Governor Withycombe regarding the settlement of the Oregon &. California land grant problem. As was to be expected, that member is Dan Kellaher, State Senator from Multnomah County. After frankly saying, "I am heartily opposed to your Plan.- Mr. Jiellaher continues fervidly as follows: iloTv. I pray you, would the poor and muuK-BH cmzens or me l nlted Glutei. fi whiwn Congress intended these lands oris! tially at the time the erant was made re eeive one lota of benefit from your plan? Would not your plan require that every acre be sold at Its market value? It sura would. While Conicmi at the time lb grant was made never so Intended it. Then It follows that the homeless and propertylesa citizen would have no mora chance to get a piece of this land than he would to buy a home from any private pro prietor and that'a the fame. Any man may buy all tho land he wanta now rn the open market If he will pay the market val. ue. but that does not help any. and that does r.ot populate Oregon. It is recalled with some amusement here that Mr. Kellaher was recently quoted by a. Portland newspaper as condemning the action of the Senate in adopting the so-called midnight resolution. As the resolution was adopted by the Senate it was after wards amended in the House It spe cifically instructed the Attorney-General to seek a decree compelling the railroad company to sell the lands to actual settlers at 12.60 en acre In tracts not to exceed 160 acres. It is pointed out that that is exactly what Mr. Kellaher now seems to desire. Mr. Kellaher opposes a special session of the Legislature. His reasons are that the people already are overburdened with taxes, and that another "midnight resolution" might be adopted. He con tinues: It would be almost equally as bad. In my Judgement, to assemble an unofficial body of special and big business Interests for the ostensible purpose of trying to plan to rob the common jieople the actual settlers of their birthright In order to hold land prices up in Oregon as against the settlers. Governor's Plan Gains Favor. Mr. Kellaher, who constiuted a mi nority all to himself at the recent ses sion of the Legislature, remains in the same category, and other letters re ceived yesterday from State Senators and Representatives in the Legislature give views diametrically opposite to his. Excerpts from them aa are fol lows: Charles Child. Representative. Browns ville I am opposed to a special session of the LeKislalure. I have read your plan care fully and I agree with you. There Is noth ing the Legislature could do any more than it haa done. I will be clad to co-operate with you In any way poasllle. i- v. tstewart, benator.
