WOULD TRAD

SITE FOR WATER
Central Oregon Irrigation Com
pany Has Novel Scheme
to Utilize Waste.
(Salem Burets of The Journl.
Salem, Or., March 30. -Roscoe How
ard, general manager of the Central
Oregon Irrigation company, and Jesse
Stearns, attorney, met with the state
desert land board yesterday afternoon
and sought consent of the board to: en
ter into a contract with John Steldl and
Thomas Tweet to exchange the use- of
waste water from the proposed north
canal dam for title to the dam site.
Steldl and Tweet own the land where
the irrigation company wants to build
the dam which is to divert water into
what is known as the north canal of the
Irrigation system. The request of the
land board is to permit the company to
grant the owners of the land the right
to use for power purposes the water, In
excess of the amount needed for irriga
tion purposes, that will flow through a
gate In the dam, in exchange for the
dam Bite: :
State Engineer Lewis doubted the ad
visability of the board granting the
request on the ground that it would
prevent future effort to conserve the
waters of Deschutes river by holding
them near the headwaters. As Govern
or West wanted to make further inves
tigation into the matter, no action was
taken by the board.
In this connection Mr. Howsrd an
nounced that the contract for the dam
and north canal had been let tp I
Oerdes, to be completed within 120 days.
The contract price is about $125,000.
The canal will be only 6800 feet long,
but it will supplement the supply of
water already on ths project and in ad
dition may furnish water to about 60,
000 additional acres.
The request made by the water users'
organisation for the installation of
weirs so1 the company and users could
tell whether of not as much water is
being furnished the settlers as the
contracts specify, was discussed, but
no action waa taken as the hnum wu.a
to give the settlers opportunity to be

Do not neglect indigestion which leads
to all sorts of ills and complications.
An eminent doctor once said that ninety-
nve per cent of all the Ills of the hu

ordered stomach.
A physician who made a specialty of
stomach troubles, particularly dyspepsia,
after years of study, perfected the form
ula from which Rexall Dyspepsia Tab
lets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets leads us to believe them to be
the greatest remedy known for the re
lief of acute indigestion . and chronic
dyspepsia. Their ingredients are sooth
ing: and healing. to the inflamed mem
branes of the stomach. They are rich
in pepsin, one of the greatest digestive
alds;.known to medicine. The relief they
afford is almost immediate. Their use
with persistency , and regularity for a
short time brings about a cessation of
the pains caused by stomach disorders,
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will Insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and pro
mote nutrition. As evidence of our sin
cere faith in Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets,

Ordinance Prepared Directing
City Attorney to Bring Suit;
Blanket Ordinance Planned.
Holding that ths Portland Railway,
Light A Power company has by re
peated violations of the franchise under
which it is now operating by the suf
ferance of the council forfeited all the
rights granted thereunder. Councilman
itaipn c . Clyde has prepared an ordi
nance instructing the city attorney to
commence quo warranto proceedings
against the company, this being the ini
tial step in a campaign having as its
object the compelling of the corporation
to surrender all its old franchises and
to ask the city council for one blanket
franchise covering the entire city.
The ordinance will be submitted at
the next meeting of the city council.
Mayor Rushlight, In conference with
President B. S. Josselyn and Director
C M. Clark of the company, yesterday
suggested that the corporation at least
surrender its old franchises across the
Morrison, Hawthorne and Burnside
bridges. The railway officials ex
pressed a willingness to consider the
proposition. '
"If the company is willing to con
sider a proposition to surrender Its
bridge franchises and ask for new ones,"
said Councilmah Clyde today, "it will
also have to consider my ordinance if
tho council passes the measure. In my
opinion, the quickest way to bring all
these conflicting questions at issue be
tween the city and the company is for
the council to authorize the city at
torney to commence suit to make the
oompany show by what right it Is now
operating. I am confident that such; a
suit would bring the company to teVms,
as it has not the shadow of a founda
tion to rest its case on. By abandon
ment of many streets in the past it has
forfeited all the rights hitherto grant
ed by the city, ' That the company re
alises its weakness Is shown by the
fact that its legal" counsel has Incor
porated a provision in the proposed
Dianicet franchise now before the coun-
cil legalizing all its acta of the past in
contravention of its franchise provi
sions." E
