LAVD CXDEK COLUMBIA BOCTH ERX PROJECT ACTED OX. Desert Board Decides on Step to I Aid Company In Putting Enter prise on Sound Baals. SALEM. Or, Feb. 14. (Special.) 'Withdrawal of 4700 acrea under tbe atfunct Columbia Southern project waa agreed to by the Desert Land Board today, expiration on this being due shortly. The Board took this step to protect the land against being thrown open for entry and to give the Oregon-Washington Finance Company, which Is at tempting to pln.ee the old. project on Representatives of the Oregon-Wash- j Ington Finance Company report that I they are making excellent progress to ward Ananclng the plan, and while they i may not complete their efforts suc cessfully before March 1. when the time limit given by the Board will expire, they believe they can do the work within a reasonable time and place the project on Ita feet. This segregation embraces 27,000 acres la Crook County on the West Side of the Deschutes Klver near Lald law. The segregation was originally made on behalf of the Three Sisters Irrigation Company, which proposed to reclaim the lands from tbe regular flow of Tumalo Creek. This company subsequently assigned Its Interests to the Columbia Southern Iirlgatlon Company, which In turn transferred them to the Columbia Southern Irrigating Company. The company sold water rights for 17.a acres Inside the segregation and 1340 acres outside. It was soon dis covered, however, that the regular flow or Tumalo Creek was sufficient for only about SOOO acres and as a result the Board endeavored to hare the company complete a storage plan for the recla mation of lands, but tbe company re fused, a receiver waa appointed and a suit was commenced to cancel the com pany's contract, but In this tbe state lost.

"I will bold yon responsible for car rying oat these directions and I wish yon to let me know at once If any one attempta to gain admittance to the house on any ground." The servants at Efftngton Towers seem to be convinced now that Miss Cameron baa a legal claim to the estate. A new complication In the admin istration of the Hawley estate Is made by the claims of old servanta of Hawley'a. His Japanese butler and a woman caretaker have put In claims. saying they entrusted their savings of rears to Mr. Hawley. to Invest for them. The Japanese says he had given Hawley 110.000 and the woman said she had glren him (7000. No record of these trusts or Investments has been found. Aotorla Pipe Line Test Mad. ASTORIA.
