The case waa assigned to District Judge Joseph H. Jones.

Jones," and averring, therefor, that the case should be transferred. Jones, while not conceding that this was suf ficient cause, granted the plea for a transfer, and the case was assigned to District Judge Bell. Accused of Non-Support Elmer E.

United States Senator GeoVge Chamberlain, who arrived in Burns Saturday eve ning, said that he spent one of the most pleasant though strenuous Sundays he has experienced for some time. The afternoon was given over to greeting the scores of old friends, swapping reminiscences of the time when Harney county was just' a big cow country and the nearest trading point was The Dalles. He also met individuals and delega tion who came to discuss reclamation, transportation, mall service, bird refuge and other matters, the most important matter of all being impounding of the water of the Sllvles and Blitsen rivers on Silver creek, thich will ultimately mean the reclamation of more than 200, 000 acres of rich agricultural land, the proposed Harney-Staley project alone covering approximately 130,000 acres. KECLAXATIOX 18 DISCUSSED Beginning with a luncheon the after noon was given over to talk on trans portation and reclamation matters, with the attendant bird refuge question by Stats Representative Bean of Eugene and McMarran of the State Chamber of Commerce and Others. Senator Chamberlain. In his address. dwelt at length -en the present condition,. facing not only this country but all the world and emphasized the need to be greater producers, coupled with greater enonomy. In order to get back to the normal condition prevailing before the war. From his long personal acquaint ance with all sections of the country the senator said that he knew of no other section with greater possibilities await ing it than Harney and other valleys here, once the waters were placed on the land. CAUTIOW IS URGED . He warned all present to proceed slow ly and with great caution before ceding Malheur lake to the government, citing the Klamath lake Instance, where the 1905 legislature conceded certain rights to the government, with the restriction that the waters were to be used only for Irrigation purposes. Regardless of this fact, the department of the Interior has leased the power rights to a company that Is constructing a dam with the in tentlon of diverting the water of the lake past agricultural lands of Oregon for use In California. He said that the same con dition might arrive here unless great care was exercised and that, -while he favored a bird refuge, he qpl not favor It at the expense of having more of the Oregon land given over to the govern ment, especially as more than 60 per cent of the entire area of the state is now under government control, with the con sequent loss of revenue. CHILDREN HELD FIRST The preservation of the Inheritance and the school children of Oregon, he con siders of greater importance than the preservation of a bird reserve. Later, to a representative of The Journal, he recited his faith in the future of the reclamation project In Harney county. &r& said that he found the people of Harney county ready and willing to make any personal sacrifice necessary in order to complete the project within its boundary, that they were seeking no assistance from the. government. In fact, all they ask of the government was to be left alone. He also expressed himself as confident that, with the completion of the project, the transportation problem vfcould take care of itself. He talked to the public and high school children Mon day, after which he went by auto to Canyon City, remaining in that city, John Day and Prairie City until Wednes day morning, when he leaves for Baker.

Hawley, who is touring southern Oregon, was a guest at a business men's luncheon Monday. Introduced by George Neuner, Con gressman Hawley said he planned to do all In his power to give as sistance to any public work in road appropriations or other matters that might be. brought before him. He voiced the opinion that the present inflation can not endure. The farmer will probably be the first to suffer, he said, as he has not benefited in pro portion to the high prices as much as other lines of business. The farmer has not profited In proportion to the costs of labor he has had to employ, though farm products have been high, because everything the farmer uses has been proportionately high, he pointed out That the country is approaching a serious, condition and level headed statesmanship is necessary to bring about an adjustment of conditions is his view. He called attention to the employment of 400.000 ' salaried men by the government after the war. which, he said, la not necessary and at least a part should be released. "The business situation of this sec tion of the state seems to be flourish ing," he said, "and I have never seen Oregon in a more , prosperous condition. Everywhere 1 find farmers satisfied with conditions and crops were never better. I fin there is a great deal of Interest In politics throughout the state, although there has been no campaigning."
