Plaintiffs Striving for Right of Way for Irrigation Dltdi. H. Q. Hurlburt and L. Q. Henry of Echo, have commenced equity pro ceedings against F. P. Miller and John Smltz to secure the right to maintain an Irrigation ditch across land owned by the defendants. According to the complaints in the case, which were filed by A. D. Stlllman, the defend ants granted permission for the ditch In 1904. The land through which it runs is arid and utterly worthless without Irrigation. However, on May 5. 1906, the defendants through force and violence prevented the plaintiffs from making repairs upon the ditch. As the plaintiffs have no remedy at law, an equity action Is taken and the court Is asked to grant the plaintiffs the right to maintain their ditch across the land in question, and to re strain defendants from in any way interfering with the operation of the same.

Proposed to Frame One Which Will Be a Composite of All the Best Features. PORTLAND BOARD OF TRADE PROPOSES CO-OPERATION. Has Appointed a Committee to As- certain the Views and Wishes of Commercial Bodies In All Parts Of the State, and Also of Experts In and Out of the Government Servlco Reports to Be Made at a Meeting to Be Held In Portland Next Fall. Which Will Decide Upon a Line of Work Upon the Next Legislature. John H. Lewis, state engineer, ha been in the city today, and while hera has consulted with leader in the County Development league regard' lng the meeting to be held May 12. Mr. Lewis desires that the league take some action endorsing the work that is being done by the Portland board of trade toward securing needed irrl gation legislation. At a recent meeting of the Poi .land board of trade a special commutes was appointed to Investigate this sub Ject and to co-operate with other or ganizations. It was recommended that the committee prepare a clrcu lar letter, or pamphlet, along the gen eral lines agreed upon, and forward the same to the various boards and commercial organizations throughout the state, requesting that each organ ization appoint a Blmllar committee for the study of the laws of this and other states. Also, to secure and ex amine the results of the various ad mlnlstratlve systems. That during the summer the various organization agree by correspondence as to the fundamental points for legislation, and the various committees or delegates, meet in Portland under the auspices of the board for a several days' ses sion In September or October. AIbo, It Is planned to Invite F, H Newell, chief of the reclamation serv Ice, Morris Bien, legal advisor of the service, Elwood Meade, of the depart ment of agriculture, and other distin guished men experienced In this line of work, to attend or to send personal representatives. The idea of the movement, accord ing to Mr. Lewis, Is to furnish an op portunity for the thorough dlscussloA of the subject by men who have maOJ a special study along this line, and the outlining of a bill before the conven ing of the legislature. Prior to the meeting to be held in Portland In the fall. It is proposed that the Portland board of trade for mulate a law embodying the various features desired by the organizations In different parts of the state, an! which are In harmony with the best experience of other Btates In this mat ter, this law to form the basis of dis cussion for amendment. That the re sulting law which will meet the con ditions in all parts of the state, be published for comment and criticism, and that provision be made for the presence at VaU-m of a suitable dele gation to answer the criticism that may arise before the legislative com mittee on Irrigation, which, because of the short time at its disposal, can not familiarize itself with the reasons for the detailed provisions of the bill. By this method a carefully pro pared bill can be presented which should receive serious consideration at the hands of the legislature. It will avoid the presentation of many similar bills from different sections, suited only to the needs of that sec tion, or for some special interest. The need for the defining by statute of the riparian right is especially import ant to all sections of the state. Victor Dorrls Coming Saturday. A letter was received last evening from Rev.
