and a flat declaration that he believ
ed the destruction of tho Los Angeles
Times was a result of a general plot
of labor leaders was mado here today

Klrby continuing his assault on la
bor said: "I believe our constitution
guarantees the protection of life and
pioperty which Is being mado almost
inoperative by the labor leaders. I
demand this organisation t0 adopt
resolutions favoring the un'form leg

I believo every offlcor of tho Ameri

system of government. Wo will bo

WESTON PROJECT
LOOKS LIKE SUCCESS
ESTIMATES ARE RIGHT
AND MANY SIGN UP
G. W. FrocbsU'l Hopeful Over Outlook
for Watering Land Adjoining His
Town Contractor Reduces Cost.
The work of getting the farmers
to sign up for water under the Pine
creek project Is now underway and
the hopes for the success of the pro
ject are very bright according to G.
W. Proebstel, well known hardware
dealer of Weston who has been down
today upon a business trip.
Estimates on the cost of the Pine
creek project were secured some time
ago and the engineers place the cost
at a trifle over 160 per acre. This
estimate "looks good" to the project
enthusiasts who feel that the farmers
may well afford to pay that price for
having their land supplied with water
any time It may be needed.
That the engineers have been con
servative In estimating the cost of
building the project Is indicated by
the fact tnat an intending contractor
h ttritten the nromoters that he will
be abIo t0 d tne work for jioo.000

DEMURRER 10 SUIT
A demurrer In the case of the state
of Oregon vs. C. C. Hendricks et al
was argued and submitted yesterday
afternoon before Circuit Judge Phelps,
sinister etjcharles Carter appearing as counsel
lu
m purposes was unconstitutional on
three grounds, namely: first, that tho
title of the act directing the Btato
board to select grounds for the asy
lum did not state the object of the
act sufficiently clear; second, that the
state has no authority to condemn
the ground because the act specifies
nothing aout acquiring land by con
demnation or by exercise of the right
of eminent domain; and third, that
it is not sufficient that the state
should allege In its complaint that It
had failed to agree with Mr. Hen
dricks on tho price of the land but
must also allege that It had failed to
agree with each of the other three de.
UndaiHS. .
This Is the suit by which the state
seeks to Gain possession of the Hen
dricks land, alleging that Hendricks
had put an excessive price on his land
when Informed that the state needed
It for asylum purposes.
L. C. Dickenson Is made a party to
the suit as he holds a $4000 mortgage
on the land and Pearl Bowman be
causo he holds a claim of $40 against
Hendricks. Frank Nudo is the fourth
of tho defendants, ho having Dcen
employed by Hendricks to farm the
land.

Action in Noted Cane on the Decis
ion of tlie Commission.
Washington, May 16. Justice
Wright of the supreme court of the
District of Columbia today appointed
a commission to determine whether
Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison of the
American Federation were guilty of
contempt of court. Upon the decis
ion of the commission, Wright will
base his further action In the noted
ca.se. Wright Is proceeding under the
decision of the United States supreme
court which ordered the dismissal of
the case yesterday. Wright says the
decision left open a possibility of him
self ordering the contempt proceedings
against labor leaders because they
disobeyed his injunction In the Buck
stove case.
He held that the court dismissed
the Jail sentence on the ground that
the action had been brought by the
Buck company. In such an event on
ly a fine could be imposed.
Wright said he ordered the inves
tigation so his court would be vindl
cated and sustained.

IS
Umatilla county is being abundant
ly blessed with rain and tho bless
ing is evenly distributed so that no
one section will have the advantage
over the other. Reports are that the
rainfall In the vicinity of Echo has
been heavier than about Pendleton
and this means that the light lands of
of the county will produce a good crop
this year. Moisture was needed bad
ly in that sectin to Insure a good
yield.
According to the weather observer,
the rainfall since yesterday afternoon
has been .19 of an inch which brings
the precipitation for the year up to
11 Inches, approximately the normal.
Some of the farmers are now com
plaining that they are getting too
much rain, which goes to prove that
there ore no climatic conditions which
will entirely please a farmer. They
say that the heavy rains are produc
ing a rank growth and causing the
grain to fall down but the more op
timistic only smile and declare they
can't get enough rain to injure a crop
in Umatilla county. Therefore, the
prediction is freely made that the 1911
crop will be one of the largest in
years.
