" ' THE OREGON I SUNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER. 19, 1911. JL. A A T OF INDIANS TO USE WATER MAY People of- Umatilla-County Are Deeply Interested in-Suit o " Milling Company to Contro - Water Supply, - 1 t ' (Special to The Journal.) Pendleton, Or., Nov. 18. In tbcjsult William Caldwell vs.' Byers Milling ,: company pending In the federal court In Portland, the whole of Umatilla coun ty and especially the Indiana on the umauiia reservation are vitaley inter eated because of the issues involved. Although specifically the suit la determine whether or not Caldwell Is entitled to the use of water which the milling company claims under Its right, the decision will undoubtedly. In - the opinion of many authorities, have a no mentous effect upon Irrigation In; this county. Caldwell, a wealthy rancher. Is rent . Ing land on the reservation from an In dian allottee and has bean' taking wa ter from the Umatilla river for Irriga tion. A suit to enjoin him from so do Ing was filed In the local olrcult court. Alter much delay without the case be ing brought to trial, Caldwell took the matter into the federal court at Port' land. He Is conducting his fight on the grounds - that the Indian allottees, by a special treaty of 1856, have a prior right to such waters of the Umatilla river as are neoessarv for their needs. RICH MEAN BIN .while the Byers Milling company lays " clatm to all the water above the mills under a subsequent statute. Contest Kong Delayed. ; The fight has long been expected. The milling people have been successful in thwarting all attempts of white renters to use the water by suits or threats of suits. I However. Caldwell announces his Intention of prosecuting his suit to a finish and his attorney, V. W. Bai ley, declares the present litigation will determine whether or not the Indians have a legitimate title to the waters of the river. " .. John McCourt, United states" attorney, has refused to be drawn into the legal battle,- declaring' the interests of the Indians are not at stake and that no -controversy exists upon which the gov ernment can get Into court as a plain tiff, either on its own account or In behalf of an Indian! Should an attempt be made by the Byers Interests or any other water user tto prevent an Indian from, diverting water from the river for his own use, he says, he will immediate ly - take action - to safeguard the rights of the redmen, but in any case where a- white renter is attempting to make .use of the treaty rights he declares the government will not take a hand. McCourt Has Opposition. Other authorities, however, disagree with the United State attorney. They point out that an abundance of watnr is going to waste, enough, according to aovernment experts, to Irrigate 70.- 000 acres in the arid section of the county. Inasmuch as. there are but 5300 acrs on the reservation suscepti ble of Irrigation, according to a sur vey made at the instance of Mr.' Mc Court, they point out that the water which ' would be used by the Indians would have absolutely no effect upon the present projects in the west end of the comity, Certainly the dwellers on the projeot are not alarmed over, the situation. , ! ' - ' - The business men of Pendleton are very desirous that the rights of the In dians be definitely established, so that the 5S00 acres on the "reservation sus ceptible of irrigation and much of which Is now unused, may be developed and made productive. In urging this they also advocate that the $300,000 accruing from the sale 4f tribal lands and which is lying idle be used In bringing this land under irrigation. rersolt Is Authority.

' ' (Special to The Journal.) Oregon Agricultural College. Corval- 11b, Or.. Nov. levThe organisation of numerous clubs at the Oregon Agricul tural college, has wielded a noticeable Influence over student life at the in stltution. It is not those of a local nature, such as boarding clubs and fra ternities, that have brought the change although they too have their place. It Is the organisations which bring to gether, for the mutual benefit- of all concerned, the students from various sections of the Union and from foreign countries, that may be. credited with having performed the mission of devel oping, to remarkable degree, the spirit of loyal and helpful fellowship already-! prevalent In. the college atmosphere. A Cosmopolitan club with a memoer- shlp Including all foreign born stu dents, an eastern club which draws its membership from east of the Missis sippi, an eastern Oregon club includ ing all students registered from Wal lowa, Baker, Union, Umatilla, Morrow, Sherman, Wheeler, Grant, Harney, and Malheur counties and a southern Cali fornia club are organizations which oc cupy an unique position in the welfare of the student body and of the cojlegej The System of Helping. Through the Influence of these clubs many students are brought to the In stitution but to serve In the capacity of an advertising medium is not their most important function. To aid new students is the aim which is placed above all else. When a student comes to the campus for the first time, if he is a foreigner or an inhabitant of a community represented by one of the college organlzatios, he Immediately finds a host of friends who are ready to- render him every possible asslstsnce while he Is beginning his college career. Nine countries, China, Japan, Russia, Norway, India, Spain, Canada, and the United States are represented in O. A. C.'s Cosmopolitan club. A sufficient number of American students are includ ed in the membership to keep the for eigners in touch with the spirit of the Cooperation Is Oregon M'oOl "Growers' Associ&tion Freeman of Portland, Who Discmssea Baker. Or., Nov." 18. One of the fea tures of the deliberations of the Oregon Wool Growers' association in session here since Tuesday was the address of F.. A. Freeman, cashier of the Lumber men's National bank of Portland, who spoke on "Cooperation as a Solution for the Political and Financial Problems of the Wool Grower." In part Mr. Fre man sald:l , "Showing to the intelligent icltisen wherein legislation in force and de partmental rules established affect his pocketbook ' will secure - his cooperation toward obtaining corrective measures to the mutual benefit of the producer and the consumer. Every intelligent sheepman is aware of the necessity for shaping his affairs to accord with the evolution of the country that naturally restricts his range and plans; but he has heretofore not reckoned with the Influence brought-upon the lawmakers by adverse " forces in oloser touch with the national : administration,' who have worked to create a sentiment at once Unfavorable and Injurious to the wool grower. " Sheep Business Is jjergs. 'The census 1 figures for 1910, Just given out by the government, show the value of sheep and lambs in the United States to be $221,000,000.

The Southern California club has a membership of 27 students. This .club was formed only last year with a to tal enrollment of eight students and a member of the faculty. A campaign was immediately begun to carry the facts concerning the opportunities of fered at O. A. C especially in horti culture work, to the high school stu dents of ths south. As a result the arrival of this yar's freshman class increased the club to its present mem bershtp.. : ' 100 rsont Eastern Oregon Crab, More than 100 student are active members of the Eastern Oregon club. Regular meetings are held in order that the wrrk of the organisation may be carried on in the most effective man ner possible. Since the agricultural draws a large number of students from the eastern part of the state, the runo tlon of the club is an extended one. At the present time a bulletin is being pre pared which, when published, will be distributed among the high school stu dents of that section. It will carry to Its readers many facts about the col lege and will also explain the work of the Eastern Oregon club, i ' The last organization of this kind to come into existence is the Eastern club.

IS. -That the state would do well to let the contract for printing the Oregon reports to" a pub lishing house instead of employing Its own ' reporter ; and doing the printing at the- state prlntery, ' Is the opinion ex pressed by Judge- J C, Moreland, clerk of the " supreme court, based upon the fact that there are few lawyers gifted In making syllabi! and that while the state pays a -good price for such' work as it gets in this line,' It does not pay a price which would command the time of a good reporter. : He has addressed a letter of inquiry to an eastern house on this matter of printing the reports. Publishers who do this - line or work extensively assert that writers of syl labi are most difficult- to get Oregon pays $500 per volume to a reporter at the present .time, but the latest report Just off the press -is a year and a half behind,: and . resembles the reports of the Oregon esses published In the east far In advance of the publications ap pearance nere. - , The -cause of , the delay In the pub lication of the reporta will probably be taken up by a committee of the State Bar 'association for Investigation. The fault Is not with the supreme oourVes the copies of the 'decisions are mailed to the court reporter on the day they are handed down.' It Is then "up to the reporter to prepare the syllabi and turn them in to the state printer. Yet the reports are not published for from a year to a year and a half. This delay Is exasperating-to the attorneys who need the reports, and in -order to get them must take the Paclfio Reporter or buy volumes published in the east A movement was once set on foot to require the Judges of the supreme" court to prepare the syllabi of their cases. This was quashed, as.lt would have heaped additional burden upon ,the Judges, who were already running behind with their work and said they were required to do more work on their cases In the way of writing extended opinions than was required of Judges in many other states. It was thought' then it would be easier to have the syllabi made up by a good reporter than to require the Judges to do It for securing favorable legislation no stone should be left unturned to get the 'little fellow' on the membership roll of this association. The association needs him and he needs the association. He may be made an important factor. There are numerous outside interests asso ciated with the wool grower that may lend assistance in solving the problem of the sheepman. Their membership is desirable and their financial assist ance of moment; every member should be a cog In the machinery that, when put in full motion, would have serious effect upon our legislation.
