Own Claims The delicate question of wheth er a city has prior power rights to Marion lake and the North Santlam river Is likely to be rais ed with the state reclamation commission as a result of this week's development brought on by the Northwest Power company and the city of Salem. It appeared last week that the prior filings of the power com pany would readily go by default when the state bureau passed on the power company's filings. The new attitude of power company officials, however, indi cates that the local municipality will need to present a strong ease to hare Its filings accepted in the face ef the earlier filings of the Northwest Power company. Trindle Says City's Claims Come First According to City Attorney Trindle there Is no question that any municipality has rights to water' for municipal purposes transcending the rights of any corporation. On the question of power, Trin dle says the attorneys for the power interests contend that once a city enters the power business, its claims for water rights must be on the same grounds of those of a corporation. On this basis, the Marion lake and. North Santlam filings were made at an earlier date than the city's petition Inasmuch as City Attorney Williams allowed a for mer petition of the city of Salem to the state reclamation commis sioner to lapse. The commission yesterday agreed to adjourn further hear ing on the application of tne Northwest Power company until Salem was given a chance o per fect its filings. City Attorney Trindle imme diately announced that be would personally go to the Santlam country during August accom panied by J. C. Baar, Portland engineer. Two Men to Prepare Maps of Territory The two men will check the territory on which rights are de sired with maps already in the city's hands and make such oth er preparations as are needed for the eitv s filing. When this is done, Salem will eek. Trindle says, both water and oower rights in the Marion lake area and then " the prior rights of a city for power, as well as for water, can be tested. Trindle is of the opinion that the city can establish prior rights despite the lateness of its tiling Governor Norblad, in a meeting of the state reclamation commis sion a lonnigni gu, biu would rote to give every prefer ence to the city. The question, however, appears to be a moot one and the present lack of willingness to concede to the city's filings on the part of the utility company, indicates a battle ahead.

(AP) Approval of the London naval treaty by the British par liament was described a s the "first exposure of part of the bunk used to obtain ratification" by the senate, in a statement to day by Senator Johnson, republi can, California, leader of the treaty opponents in the senate. "Only a short time ago," John son said, "the 6tate department and every little man echoing what he was told to say, were harping upon the British opposi tion, and the internationalist press again and again repeated that a treaty so violently oppos ed by like parties in Great Brit ain and American must be an In spired and holy document. "There never was any truth In the statement like parties in each country were in opposition. The British admiralty, the offi cial British body in charge of na val affairs, have always favored the treaty. The American general f4wrd of the navy by overwhelm- ing preponderance has opposed it. Claims Argument Hollow and Sham "Our government and our in ternationalists have embraced the British admiralty's demand, and have repudiated the Ameri can naval advice. But now the hollowness and sham of the ar gument concerning the similar opposition In both nations, so elaborately made, has been clear ly demonstrated, for the British parliament practically without opposition has approved the treaty." "This is the beginning of the debunking of that of which we heard so much during the past weeks. The debunking wiil go on until, with the years, we'll find ourselves viewing the London treaty just as we viewed the Washington treaty of 1922 after time taught us what had been done to us. "oi course tne British ap proved. They, with an enthusiasm almost as great as ours, endorsed their own handiwork." Henry Ford Says Water With Kick Would Be Great LLEWELLYN PARK. N. J., July 30.
