HAS FAILED TO COMPLY.
Reclamation Company Keeks to Com
pel State Kngmtwr l'ls to Issue
Patents.
Salem. Sept- 15. Stuto Engineer J.
11. Lewis and President J. O. Johnston
of tho Deschutes Irrigation & Power
company, are In a dispute over the In
terpretation of the national and state
laws In regard to reclaiming land un
der the Carey acL President Johnston
Is seeking to have the work done by
Ms company, for the reclamation of
about 80,000 acres of lad near Bend,
approved by the slate land board and
Knglneer Lewis, so that patents will
Issue from the government i for -the
land.
Mr. Johnston has submitted maps
and plats of the canals and ditches
constructed by his company, .cover
ing the land In question, and asks
that they bo npproved and the neces
sary certificates Issue.
Tho point of difference Is that Mr.
Lewis cannot sno his way clear an Issue
a certificate covering any tract of land
to which tho water has not actually
been conveyed. Strictly speaking,
each tract f land, as the engineer un
derstands tho law, means each il0
acres, the amount of land a settlor
may take .up. In this liistunoo he aays
ho Is willing to waive that construc
tion and accept tho conveyance of wa
ter to the .highest point on each sec
tion of land. He says, also, that he la
willing to take as evidence "that wa
ter has nctuully been conveyed to each
trnct" the fact that a ditch was con
structed to the .land oven though no
water has flowed through It.
Mr. Johnston contends that a canal
.of sufficient rapacity to carry water
for the total number nt acres to be
segregated, constructed to and through
the land along the oourso rrom which
laterals could be constructed to nil
parts of tho land, Is nil that should be
required of tho company.
Mr. Uiwls argues thnt as the re
clamation charge of 11,0 por acre and
the porpetual annual maintenance
chargo of II per acre becomes a Hen
on tho land, as soon a the govern
ment patent Issues to tho stato, and
the company Is entitled to S per cent
Interest on tho reclamatloa charge, no
land should be Included In tho patent
other than those sections to which wa
ter Is actually supplied.
Mr. Lewis says ho finds sumo land
Included In the application of tho
company that Si 10 miles from tho
main canal or nearest lateral.
As some of tho laterals will be ex-

Sacramento. Sept. 15. Ex-Senator Hunkers, on the stand In the
Kmmons bribery trial, this morning declared that nearly all his tes
timony in the other trial for Doodling, was false. Hunkers was goaded
by fliovo Johnson, Kmmons' counsel, Into a broadside confession of
perjury. Johnson questioned Runkers as to his two terms of serv
ice In the navy. The district attorney objected to the line of examin
ation und was sustained. The district attorney and Johnson had a
verbal mlx-up on the lino of examination, and the Judge cuine to the
rescue of Hunkers, who was floundering helplessly under the examina
tion. Senator Emmons in perfectly composed. He rarely speaks to his
lawyer. Senator Wright Is attending as a spectator. He listens close
ly, but his ; countenance was unchanged during the grilling on Hunk
ers. Tho letter occasionally glares at his former companions, while
blurting out his tei-tlmony, but Wright und Emmons act us if thoy
never had seen the witness before. His cross-examination Is likely to
continue all day.
Either Jordan, who tamed state's evidence before the grand Jury,
or Lee Negor, who noted as agentln changing the marked money, will
be the next witness.

Seattle. Sept. 15. The board of
missions at today's session listened to
the report of the (mnr.rM secretary,
Lewis A. Crosett, of Boston; the re
port or the home department secre
tary, C. H. Patton, and the pruden
tial committee, and an address by the
missionaries on yoang peoples' work.
It is thought no statement can be
obtained from Gladden as to what he
will do about fighting "tainted
money" in convention, but it Is known
he has determined to "foroe the pru
dential committee on record. This
morning's canvass shows that Glad
den stands almost alone In his stand
against Rockefeller. To a friend,
(iladdnn stated:
Tm not the first man that ever
stood alone for a principle. I would
not be a loyal servant of my Master
If I yielded now, even In the face of
united opposition."
Great pressure ls being brought to
bear upon Gladden, and It Is believed
the discussion of "tainted money"
will be smothered In the prudential
committee without allowing a vote on
the matter.
This afternoon's election of new
corporate members Is the most Im

of the board, will deliver the annual

Say There ib no Law for Mak

"Elam Water Suit."
Jl'ltlSDICTIOX OF STATE,
ENftlXEEIt IS QUESTIONED.

Circuit Court Would Cost the
Parties to tho Suit Several Thous
and Dollars, Hence the Contention
That the Slate Cannot Become a
Party I'll less tho Government As

Engineer Is Now In the Field at In
stitution of the Plaintiff In tlx
Suit.
The defendants in the big El am
water suit brought In the north end
of the county do not want to pay for
the hydrographlc survey which has
been ordered of the land slnvolved.
and this afternoon motions were filed
here asking Judge Ellis to vacate his
recent order making the state a party
to the suit and requiring the state en
gineer to enter upon the survey.
The motions were filed by Halley at
Iowell and Stlllman & Pierce as at
torneys for a large number of the de
fendants In the suit, and they hold
thnt the state Is not properly a party
to the suit under the law of 1906.
According to the contention of the
defendant attorneys the state can be
made a party to such a suit only
when the government wishes to come
Into the fild for the DUrpos of doing
reclamation work, and the lucent or
der of Judge Ellis Is held to b ultra
vires.
The order for the state engineer to
make a hydrographlc survey of the
land Involved In the suit was given
by Judge Ellis a month or two ago at.
the' request of Will F. King, attorney
for the plaintiff. Since that time
State Engineer J. H. Lewis has plac
ed a force of engineers In the field
and commenced on the work of mak
ing the survey.
From Indications, the task of mak
ing the survey is to be a long and
I expensive one. it being estimated that
It win require uoout three years time
I nnd an expense of from $6000 to $16.
j 000 to complete the workk. Under"
the law this expense is required to be'
borne by the parties In the suit, and
it Is because of that fact that the de
fendants are seeking to have the or
der vacated. According to their at
torneys, there would be no objection
on their part to the survey provided
the expense of the same was worne
by the plaintiffs. However, it Is not
presumed sucli would be acceptable to
those on that side of the case.
The movement to bring the state
engineer Into the field for the purpose
of milking a hydrographlc survey was
Instigated by the plaintiffs In the suit,
and the sum of $1500 Is said to have
been deposited by them to the credit
of the stale engineer for the purpose
of paying the preliminary expense of
the work. However, the order re
quiring, the survey was given ex parte,
and It Is believed by the defendants
that the same will be vacated.
