I would like to prove this
assertion to YOU.
the government who created the
courts.
The truth Is, that the adjudication
was Instituted in the Interests of the
Improved portion of the Umatilla pro
ject at Hermlston. Those of you
who are familiar with Irrigation mat
tors know that for years that Oregon
wa without practical irlgatinn law
Thee were all kinds of theories and
rights and no man knew what he real
ly owned. Legislators met and ad
journed and no suitable law s were en
acted. Finally the subject of Irriga
tion became suffiiceatly important
and proper law. were made in the
e-s!on of 190:. the law going into ef-1
f.'ct February 24. 1!0:. Immediately'
the government officials in this .state!
st about to have ail water rights es- j
t.tWshed beyond u piest:on of a:
doubt. The adjudication on the rrna
tilla river wa commenced solely In'
behalf of the present approved per-'
t:on of the I'mati'la project at Her-'
m:s"on and will proceed to the same
ends even through the west exten
sion is destroyed The same ndjudl-l
cation would hc; been made though!
the west extensloa had not been pro-j
po-ed The same contests would have!
been filed, the same points would!
have been ra sed and the same final
rights recorded. In this matter of.
i...iM-ii me government nas no
greater rights than any water user on
the I'matilla river, or Birch creek, or
McKay creek. Any appropriator
could have instituted the same pro
ceedings; made the same claims and
demanded the same consideration as
the I'nited States.
The reclamation service must act
under the state laws and abide by the
decisions of the state courts and every
claimant for water wi!l finally have
the same amount of water and no
more, whatever Secretary Fisher and
President Taft may decide as to the
we A extension.
I make these statements rather ex
tended in order to divorce the west '
extension from the adjudication pro
ceedings. The west extension should
not be made a football In the game.
Tou may kill the west extension dead
as the Sturgis ditch and it will have
no effect on any man's water right
when the adjudication Is complete.
The uneasiness of many small water
users due chiefly to a misapprehen
sion of the purposes of the govern
ment has been preyed upon. Misun
derstanding of the laws of the state
coupled with the customary idea that
the United States has rights before
the courts greater than its citizens,
has frightened a number of men of
good Intention, and . their dread has
made them victims of other deeper
motives. Ulterior purposes are behind
much of this new agitat'on that now
seeks to have you gentlemen of the
Pendleton Commercial club reverse
your course.
As we have been Informed, there
Is a feature of the case other than
the fear of losses through a judica
tion. Tou. the members of the Pen
dleton Commerc'al club will be, or.
have been told that if the west ex
tension can be killed new water rights
rmy be Instituted, storage and other
wise, in the ne'ghborhood of Pendle
ton or on the upper reaches of the
river and its streams that will serve
to irrigate the lands adjacent to Pen-

dleton. One feature of this matter
I will leave to Mr. E. I. Davis who
made all the surveys above Pendle
ton and along Birch and Bear and
McKay creeks and neighboring lands
and who searched for reservoir sites.
Mr. Davis was In the employ of the
government reclamat on service from ;
the beginning In this field and until
after the Cold Spring reservoir, of
which he was the chief engineer, was
completed and has recent y returned
from the employ of the Peruvian gov
ernment and In Porto Rico, and ho
will eifertain you with some valu-1
ablo facts.
Hut, the spec'al fact I want to calt
your attention to is the Andrew S.
Smith filing in the state engineer's of-
fice. In May. 1910. Dr A. O. Smith
of Portland, pa'd the government rec- '
lamation service at Hermlston $400
for a copy of the. prepared maps and
plans of that date of the west exten
sion canals and lands. With these he
made a water fKing in July, 1910, on j
identically the same water a the west
extension which filing will become
effective if the government is Induc
ed to withdraw from the field. The
Smith fil'ng ! understood to belong
to Dr. If. W. Coe; In fact. Dr. A. C.
Smith when assailed by Portland peo
ple last year as Interfering with the
west extension disclaimed any fur
ther interest in the matter than a fa
vor to his friends and business asso
ciates, among whom were Dr. Coe
In th's connection yesterday the
Hermiston Comm-cial club wired the
state engineer the fo'.lowing: "Wire
us date of A. C. Smith filing; amount
of water and status of claim if the
we- extens'on fails." in reply we re
ceived this message:
"President of the Hermlston Commer- I
c'al Club, Hermlston. Oregon.
"A. C. Smith filing, July, 1910. In
good standing and effective if prior
government filing lapses. One hun
dred and seventy-five thousand acre
feet for sixty thousand acres. Identi
cal with government project.
Signed:
"JOHX H. LEWIS.
"State Engineer."
Dr. Andrew C. Smith of Portland Is
president of the bank that bought the
bonds for the Furnlsh-Cpe dam be
low Pendleton and whether he or Dr.
Coe or some one else owns the filing
at this time it nevertheless is ahead
of any other filings that might be
made should the west extension be
abandoned. He would get the water
and as the scheme is a good one the
filing would be taken care of. He
would at least have something to sell
to the large land owners down the
river, whatever might happen to the
large body of public lands under the
we-t extension. Why this fact has
not been made public, we are at a
loss to know. We understand how
the srr1 water users up the creeks
and a great many of the people of
Pendleton and vicinity, in fact of the
entire county might not be familiar
with such an important fact, but we
do know that some of the leaders of
the opposition to the we-t extension
are fully aware of the Smith filing
and we believe that the newspapers
of this county have been dilatory in
their duty to their readers by not
pub'lshing the details of this import
ant item In the matter before us.
When they were giving space to the
various fale statements and outra
geous claims In some of the resolu
tions of protest, why did they not say
something about the A, C. Smith fil
ing? We mut believe at least that the
Pendleton papers were Ignorant of
the fact and we hope not malicious.
Now, members of the Pendleton
Commercial club, do you prefer that
the United States government or pri
vate interests enter upon this field?
Do you want the government to use
some of the money Oregon is entitled
to or do you want speculation? Do
you want Dr. Henry Waldo Coe or
some one e's-e to undertake to finance
thl great undertaking, especially
when Irrigation bonds are low or
shall you remain on record as in fa
vor of government reclamation of
these lands? Do you want another
f'asoo like the state land board Is
now troubled with on the Deschutes?
Do you want a failure like at Attalla
Do you want more litigation and
busted companies like that of White
Bluffs? Do you want the history of
the majority of private companies
repeated under your own eyes?
The west extens'on lands are 30 to
40 per cent government lands, 20 to
30 per cent belong to the R. R. com
pany, 30 to 40 per cent to the Ore
gon land and water company. The;
public land-) will be under the direct
control of the government under the
reclamation act and will be cut into
10 and 20 acre homestead tracts and
given to the settiers. Under private
enterprise this land would be sett'ed
in 160 and 3 20 acre tracts, with the
old homes'ead shanty and the Irish
man's gamble. The railroad lands
and the Oregon Land and Water com
pany's land will be sold under gov
ernment control and direction and
easy terms made by the government
to actual settlers. This will mean a
great body of free and low price land
; and a settler on at least every 20
j acre tract Do you want this or do
, you want these lands to Kay in large
! holdings and be held at high prices?
j Again, these lands are a part of the
original Umatilla project. There has
appeared In the newspapers of recent
j date the statement that Oregon's only
i hope for a share of the reclamntion
fund for the next five or ten years lies
; In the west extension. The govern -I
ment will neither set apart present
! funds nor will congress vote new
: bonds for the creation of new recla-
mation projects. Our claim for rec
! lamation fundi Is based on the one
; word "extension." The 1903 and
I 1904 reports of the reclamation ser
I vice and department of the interior
', say "irrigable lands of the Umatilla
i project lie west of the Umatilla river
i ind south of and bordering on the
! Columbia river."
This, gent'emen. means practically
the west extension. The report of
1901? fays: "The I'matilla project lies
south of the Columbia near the Uma
tilla river and is divided into the cast
and west divisions."
That Is to say, for years, tho west
extension has e'ther been considered
the Umatilla project or a part of the
plans of the reclamation service In
Oregon.
The lnnds nre contiguous to the
present approved project at Hermls
ton: the source of the water supply
Is the same and much of the rams
water that Is diverted will be used on
both. Plans provide for the taking
up of seepage and drainage waters
from the lands of the Hermiston
country and carrying them to the low
er levels of the west exten-lon and
the tak'ng of water from the reservoir
of the west extension to higher lev
els of the present project. The two
divisions in many respects blend to
gether and the future plan of the
government likewise include the pow
er plant on the Deschu'es and pump
ing from the Columbia at rustle Rock,
and eventually the hope of the great
John Day scheme. Now we have the
f'gures and facts on all these thing.
Do you want to pass them by for noth
ing In favor of private schemes or
nebualous systems?
The adjudication will proceed.
There is no escape from it west ex
tension or no west extension.
Do you want Andrew C. Smith or
bis friend to take the waters of the
Umatilla, or are you willing to stand
pat for the government reclamation
of the west extension.

Bull Makes Stubborn Fight. But Deer
(Joros Him to Death and Vunlshes.
New Preston, Conn. There was a
lively fight between a big buck deer
and a prize bull owned by George
Hawley, a farmer living near here.
The bull and a herd of cows were
grazing in Hawley's pasture when the
buck bounded over a high fence. The
bull made for hint quickly. Hawley's
young daughter was on a fence 100
yards away. She says that as the
bull, with a deep bellow, charged the
buck the latter sprang aside.
The bull was no match for the the
deer in quicknes-i, but when the an
tlers and the horns locked the deer
was driven back to his haunches. The
battle continued until the bull be
came winded Suddenly the buck
leaped Into the air and came down
head f'rst. his antlers buried deep in
to the bull's side. The bull bellowed
in pain, swung around to renew the
f'ght, and the antlers were released
from his flesh. Again the buck
made an attack and this time his
horns were buried In a vital spot In
the bull's body and the animal fell
dead. The cows scattered in every
direction. When Hawlev ran to the
