He Invoked the most de termined mtpport of Senator Chamber lain oil the pHrt of Oregon people, par ticularly nt this time when hit far CirnM mm mitten appointment! and the eateem In which he In held by col leagues nive him extraordinary influ ence. Mr. Teal comments on the it uatloe both tit the, mouth of the river and tit t'niHtlllrt follow: "An rhairinan of the conservation (pimiiiIhhIoii for (he state I have taken a mowt active- Interest In the I'matilla project and the IrrlKutlon of lands In the rtf-lnity. The project has been panMed on repeatedly by engineers of thr m"Hl a,ble type. Its agricultural pofinlblllt ieH have hIho been pattaej on by th experts from the department at I Washington. Portions of the lands have been Irrigated and have produced well. "I have been over a portion of the IhixIh a number of tlmea. I have neen alfalfx. frultx and grain growing and the country developing, and had sup- poned there was no question about the pOHslbllltles of the soil, given water.

"True, there l a rhlge along the .river, a tract of about 2500 acres of land which 1ms catiKed trouble, but not for lack of fertility, but for lack of water. "I cotild scarce express my surprise on reading the report of these experts,' stating things so different from what I bad seen myself. I sometimes doubt ed ff the report they made applied to the Umatilla project, it was so directly opposite to the reports already given. to the experience had and to the con ditions which could be found by any one who would take the trouble to go ad see. ' 'I have nothing to say about the experts or anything in, connection with tbe report except that, because of what it says, it becomes my duty, as chairman of the Oregon conservation commission, to, look into the facts- I have lust instituted a number of in quiries and intend to have the project examined in person by one who has no interest save to ascertain the facts. "The report has done great damage. not only to the Umatilla project, but to irrigation generally. How can any one have any confidence in these pro jects, -after all the time and consider ation given the Umatilla project before adoption and money expended since with people, living there and building homes, and lands producing when at this late day a report of this kind is made? Will it not have a tendency to stop development? Pacts Xnjrt Be Known. "In the interest of the northwest the facts must be known. "It is certainly passing strange that the reclamation service with all the ability of those who represent it, and with the facilities of the government to determine the facts in advance should deliberately start a project of which the lands were 95 per cent in fertile. On the face of things, it seems that the probabilities are entirely the other way." "In any movement for the improve ment of the Columbia river, jetties are the dominant feature." said Mr. Teal, discussing the north jetty. "There fore, the sooner the jetties are com pleted, the sooner the desired results will be realized deep water across the bar. "Placing the jetties on a continuing contract basis means that the nortn Jetty may be completed in three years, when otherwise six years will be re quired. "The completion of the north jetty means. In the judgment of competent engineers, the securing of deep wate;' a channel of 35 to 40 feet. This re sult is made certain by the continuing contract, and in view of the showing at the mouth of the river at the last soundings. It is as certain as anything can be that thin reHiilt will follow. It Is hardly necessary to emphasize the importance of a feature we have been trying to secure for more than a gen eration. Good Basalts should Be Shown'. "With the north jetty on a continu ing contract, and if the dredging this year shows as good results as last year, and it should show better re sults, we will be in line to get the ap propriation for a dredger commensu rate with the needs of the mouth of the river. "There never was a time when things were lined up so well for us as now. Too much credit cannot be given Sen ator Chamberlain for the work he has done in connection with the Jetty and the dredge. It also ought to be under stood that his favorable position on committees and the esteem in which his associates hold him enlarges his power to serve us. "Colonel Harry Taylor, in the engi neer department at Washington, and immediately under the chief, has ren dered valuable assistance. I doubt if anyone "here has more interest in the work than he. His statements before the congressional committee were clear and decisively in favor of the improve- ment. "We should prepare here now to li CONDUCT FOUR ! ADDITIONAL SUMMER F.

As yet the men under indictment have not been notified officially of the fact. Dan J. Malarkcy is acting as their attorney, however, and will ap pear in their behalf when the time comes. Attorneys Huntington & Wil son appear for Mr. Ileusner. Mr. Malarkey stated this morning that there appears to be a peculiarly olose, connection between tho Indicts ' ment and the civil suit and that It p- pears as though the evidence taken by' the grand jury was being used in the ' suit filed yesterday. If sach wtrs th case it would, of course, be gross sub version of the principle and function of a grand Jury, says Mr. Malarkey. MUCH COMMENT CAUSED ZtafaaAa&ts' Attorney Says There Ap pears Peculiarly Close Connection" Between Criminal, Civil ceea. Cathlamet. Wash., May 22. John G. Bailey, editor and owner of the Colum bia River Sun. published at this place for the last 13 years, was last night adjudgpd insane by Dr. R. J. Pilklng ton and Dr. E. B. Waffle, summoned here by the superior court from As toria, Or., to pass on the mental con dition of the defendant, who had been on trial, charged by the state with alleged criminal libel uttered In the Sun against M. 'Gorman and Jay Gib son, well known local citizens. The trial jury, which was to decide the libel charges, was dismissed today from further consideration of the case, and the order of commitment to Steil acoom asylum was signed by Judge Guy C. Alston of Everett, Wash., who is holding court here for the regular judge. Edward H. "Wright, now in Iowa. The relatives of Mr. Bailey, , however, have the alternate of plac ing him in a private sanitarium if they j so elect. I After Bailey had been fcaind in- sane, and ordered committed, his issue of the Sun. due to appear today, wss j censored and ordered destroyed by the I court, and Sheriff T. M. Adams sup : pressed the edition, which will ap pear tomorrow with other articles in lieu of those bearing on- his own case tor Bailey. It is understood that the Sun will be carried on for awhile, at least, by the guaradian appointed by the court, J. W. Heron, who is a ; brother-in-law of Mr. Bailey. A civil suit was filed yesterday by George F. Heusner asking damages amounting to $200,000 against Thomas Scott Brooke, E. Henry Wemjne, E. T. Ames, Jacob C- Beck and the Portland Railway, Light &. Power company. The ink is scarcely dry on the in dictments returned by the, May grand jury against all of the individuals named and J. A. Johnson and H.vW. Piereng for an alleged criminal libel. An advertisement appearing in the Portland papers during the 1913 cam paign and signed by the Reople's ! Rights league, T. A. Lintmcum, secre tary , is the basis of the suit, Mr. Heusner charging that by reason of alleged libelous matter contained therein his application for a franchise was defeated by the people in the in itiative election last June and further that his good name, business and repu tation were injured to the extent of $200,000. Heusner states in his complaint that the advertisement was published with the Intent of giving an impression that he was "seeking by dishonest, corrupt and illegal methods" to acquire the franchise submitted to the voters and that in asking for its adoption an at tempted fraud was being made bf Heusner on the public. I He states further that the advertlse .' ment gave the idea that he was "dis- honest, corrupt, lacking in probity and ' Hiuhnnnat In HiisHtios rlat1nna ' ' Ma charges in his complaint that the pub lished matter was "false, scandalous i and malicious, and conveyed to the ! public that the proposed franchise was I a fraud on the city of Portland."
