I do not think we should be brought In her for things that are unneces sary." commented an exprrss wagon driver, who was arrested by Policeman Ctlalloran for "cutting" a corner. "If there was anything unnecessary about the transaction It was when yov "cut" the corner." replied the Judge. "I mMt repeat that this ordinance Is being enforced and that It la my duty to !

"Neither Is It any particular sport for the polite to bring people In here. Bu something must be done to stop the l.re number of accidents, resulting In from three to seven deaths In Port land every month of late. "Does It not appeal to anyone'a rea aon that, when one officer can go to a corner, as did Mr. O'llalloran last Sat urday, and arrest 41 people for vio lating traffic regulations, something Is r-udirally wrong? I ask public co operation In this work and recommend that all drivers get and study the ordi nance. Then keep your :ilnd on your driving and obey the ordinance. This Is the necessary thing to do."

I Whether the assumption of jurisdic tion by the Public Service Commission over the affairs of the Central Oregon Irrigation Company brings about conflict with the Desert Land Board's control of that project was a question arising at a meeting of the Desert Land Board today, when State Treas urer Kay sharply expressed the opin io nthat If the Commission can do the things Its order says it can da I he would be willing to recommend giving complete Jurisdiction over the project to that Commission." The Commission Saturday issued an order requiring the irrigation company to Install a number ot Improvements In connection with the furnishing ot water for irrigation purposes and also to submit a plan for future distribu tion of water. The company Is under contract with the state through the Desert Land Board to handle the water In a cer tain manner. Qn-estJoa ef Jurisdiction Raised. Before I go any further In taking any action In connection with the Cen- ral Oregon project I wish to know who has jurisdiction over It," continued the State Treasurer. "Personally I think the affairs of the project are none of the commission s business. I know we have been attempting for the past eight years to get some of he things done which the Commission eems to be able to put on paper In a single order and If the Commission can accomplish these things it is welcome the Job." State Engineer Lewis expressed the opinion that there Is no conflict as result of the Commission's order, but rather that the'order Is supplementary lo and based upon the contracts bo- Iwrrn the Desert Land Board and the company. - Mediator Are Appointed. The Desert Land Board today named Attorney-General Brown as mediator, with Colonel C E. S. Wood, to reach some conclusion as to a contract be tween the etate and the Northwest Townslte Company to be entered I1U0 before a 1 50,000 bond of the company 1st released. At a recent meeting an agreement was verbally reached, but the two parties have been unable to get together on the form of a written contract. The board does not wish to release the company from its bond until an agreement bas been reached as to the protection of settlers on the project. while the company is anxious to be released from the bond to avoid fur ther payment of premiums. If the At torney-General and Colonel Wood can not reach a decision as to the form of the written contract, the matter Is to be referred back to the board. The board also designated Attorney- General Brown and State Engineer! Lewis as a committee to confer with J. E. Morson to see If some mutual agreement cannot be reached for the completion of the Deschutes Irrigation Company project near La Pine. V Hello! . V "Xi Happy I ": New Year! J?"
