Eu stein Oregon Legislators Will lie
Assisted Many Western Oregon
Menil.ers in Xext Session In the
Piissage or nil Irrigation LIW
Feature! of lYoposod legislation
Discussed.
Eastern Oregon representatives
in
me state legislature who made a
hard fight for the passage of the Bien
Irrigation law at the last session, will
be aided nt the next session by many
able men from western Oregon.
The sentiment In favor of a uniform
law on Irrigation In Oregon is gaining
strength every day and especially Is
the irrigation idea gaining ground In
the Willamette valley counties.
That irrigation Is practical in most
parts of the valley Is now admitted by
all who have studied the subject and
a concentrated effort will be made at
the next legislative session to enact a
law closely similar to the Bien law.
The Salem correspondent of the
Portland Telegram discusses the sub
ject In the following clear manner:
The recent discussion before the
commercial bodies of Portland on the
development of Oregon's Irrigation
anil water power resources, and es
pecially the application of irrigation
to the Willamette valley, which was
unanimously urged by the Portland
board of trade, has raised the ques
tion of legislation for Its encourage
ment. The members of the state lnnd
board who have to deal with the ciues
tlon of Irrigation and water rights
have reason to realize that the pres
ent law Is defective in ninny particu
lars. Mtiiiy practical Irrigators of the
state believe the policy of the state
should be the same as that of the na
tional government when It comes to
dealing with irrigation. Uncle Sam's
policy is to encourage the building of
homes. That project which promises
to yield the greater number of homes
with the least expense Is the one that
Is In favor with the officials of the
reclamation service.
The failure of the Bien law to pass
the last legislature has not discourag
ed the friends of the measure, and
there will be n determined effort to
have n similar measure passed by the
next legislature.
Substantially the same law was re
cently passed by North Dakota, fcouth
Dakota, and Oklahoma. This law Is
chiefly administrative. A systematic
method of establishing and recording
vested rights In accordance with the
established laws and decisions of the
courts Is demanded: also for the ac
quirement and recording of new
rights, with the necessary proof of
completion of works and determine-.
Hon by a qualified officer of the
amount of water put to a beneficial
use.
Before nny Individual, corporation,
state or government can, with nny
degree of certainty, enter Into the
construction of works Involving the
use of waters, two things must be
known. First the amount of low nt
different seasons at the proposed
point of diversion: and, second, the
amount of water which Is necessary
to satisfy the vested rights below the
proposed point of diversion. The
state. In co-operation with the gov
ernment, has undertaken to secure
records as to stream discharge which,
to be of much value, must extend
over a period of three to five years.
At present it is impossible to de
termine what amount of water Is nec
essary to satisfy vested rights. This
Information In necessary to know If
any surplus water exists In a stream
to be put to beneficial use.
Capital seeking Investment In this
line is therefore discouraged, and the
value of legitimate rights rery much
lessened because of this uncertainty.
Even where a court decree has been
rendered. It may be upset at a later
date, unless all who claim the right
to the use of the waters are made
parties to the suit.
All present vested rights will ulti
mately come before the courts as wa
ter becomes more valuable, as a mat
ter of self-preservation. If a new law
can provide a systemntlc method of
determining these rights, also the re
cording and protection forever on the
part of the state. It Is believed the In
creased value will justify the expense.
The certainty of a new right, ir per
mitted, would greatly encourage de
velopment up to the limit of the bene
ficial use to which each stream can
be put.
Modern Woodmen Won Case.
The case of Mrs. Martha D. KlmbnM
against the order of Modern Wood
men, which was Mettled In tne circim
court yesterday, was of more than
passing Interest t fraternal societies
and those who are members or sucn.
Charles E. Kimball, husband of Mrs.
Kimball, who brought suit, died nt
Juniper, In this county, November 1,
1903. and the order at once protested
payment of the Insurance policy of
$3000 for the reason as aileged that
Mr. Kimball had not fully stated his
physical condition and family history
and that he would have been rejected
had his true condition been known.
The case was settled for $300. T. W.

ton Clllzrti for C'oiiRress.
The Madras Pioneer, speaking of the
possibility of Judge S. A. Lowell, of
this city becoming a candidate for
congress, says:
While Judge Lowell has not abso
lutely declined to be drawn Into the
race. It la recognised that he woul 1
not of his own Initiative enter into the
scramble for office. He belongs to the
old school of lawyers, aim the same
higli code of ethics would apply In his
political life. The office must seek
the man.
The second district needs such a
lepresentatlve In congress as Judge
Lowell; the state of Oregon needs
him, and Judge Lowell will doubtless
yield to a strong popular demand for
his nervlyes.

cleanse and strengthen the stomnch,
