CASE IN COURT RESTS
ON THAT QUESTION
Parties Dispute Ownership of Sand
pit Both Claim Possession on Dif
ferent Grounds Case Being Ar
gued Now.
A civil case of more than usual Im
portance is being argued today be
fore Circuit Judge Bean, It Is the
case of Joseph C. Scott versus Sam
Looney and O. W.. Knight and an im
posing array of legal talent is repre
sented In the case. The point at Is
sue is the possession of a gravel pit
near Umatilla from which is obtain
ed valuable building sand, an article
of commerce which is exceedingly
scarce. The pit has been operated for
a number of years by Knight and
Looney both as a sand and gravel pit
and also as a placer claim. They are
now trying to hold It on the ground
that It Is a placer claim, while Scott
seeks possession by virtue of a deed
which he obtained from the Northern
Pacific company.
Looney and Knight are represented
by Phelps & Stelwer, and Lowell &
Winter of this city and John H. Pe
digo of Walla Walla. Scott Is repre
sented by O. C. Gose of Walla Walla
and Carter & Smythe of this city. At
torney Guy Bartlett of Walla Walla
is here as a witness.
The defense alleges that the pit Is
valuable as a placer claim and also
that the building sand is m'neral In
nature and that therefore they are
entitled to hold it as a mineral claim.
The plaintiff alleges that the pit is
not valuable as a placer claim and de
nies that building sand Is to be con
videred as m'neral.
The claim l a very valuable one

KTAGG FAVORS RETENTION OF
GAME WITH MODIFICATIONS
Chicago, Jan. 2. Coach Stagg of

turned today from the meeting of
the Intercollegiate athletic associ
ation In New York, declared that foot
ball as played in American college
Is well on the way to thorough re
vision, but that the present game
would be retained with changes and
no other substituted.
"I feel Just as strongly as ever,"
said Coach Stagg, "that the modern
scientific game of football should not
and will not, be given up. I also feel
that the salvation of the game will
be In making It more open." Stagg
further asserted that any Impression
that the national experts favor a re-
vision to Rugby on the adoption of
the association game Is false.

MAY TAKE WATER
FROM CLEAR LAKE
Klamath Falls, Ore. Considerable
agitation has been caused by the re
port coming from Modoc county,
Cal., that an effort Is to be made to
utilize the waters of Clear lake for
the Irrigation of lands in California,
Instead of the lands in what Is known
as the upper project of the Klamath
system. The waters of Clear lake
could be diverted so as to Irrigate
either the lands in Oregon or those
In California. There is, however,
not enough, water for both projects.
It is claimed by the people of Mo
doc county that there are 30,000 acres
of irrigable land in Cal fornla all of
which would be subscribed for gov
ernment Irrigation . In the event the
waters of Clear lake should be di
verted so as to be utilized In the
reclamation of the Modoc county
lands. In Oregon there are more
than twice as many acres, but less
than 30,000 have bee subscribed for
government water.
Wh le there are many Klamath
landowners who are inclined to be
lieve that there is a remote chance
that the waters of Clear lake may be
diverted for the benefit of the Modoc
country, there are others who feel
that the project is too far advanced
to permit of an action of this kind.
HOTEL CELLAR TOO
MUCH FOR BULLDOG
San Jose. Cal. "Complete nervous
prostration, superinduced by rough
treatment at the hands of hotel em
ployes." Such was the verdict of the vet
erlnarles In charge of the hospital
to which Lucky, the blue blooded
brlndle bull dog of Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liam P. Metmore of San Francisco
was brought yesterday.
The animal, accustomed to the best
couches of the San Francisco exclun
Ive hostelrles, was relegated to the
coal cellar of the St. James hotel here
by bell-boys who were unacqtfalnted
with his pedigree. Mr. and Mrs.
w'etmore were out of the hotel at the
time, and the bullodg was carried
from his couch to the basement by
hands that handled him none too
gently. The plebian surroundings
were too much for Lucky, and he fell

His condition Is reported to be serlr
