In progressing rather slowly and Indl cations are that the final testimony will not be Introduced before Satuc day. From a spectator's standpoint the case Is an. Interesting one to watch inasmuch as the exchange of courtesies by the lawyers waxes warm at Intervale. Judge Fee la doing the cross-ex amlnatlon for the defendants and several times Attorneys Peterson and Stelwer have objected to the ques tions he has propounded, declaring them Irrelevant and unfair to the witnesses. Judge Fee upon one oc casion expressed the belief to the court that the witnesses had been coached and primed by the attorneys for the contestants. Stelwer's retort was that he would bitterly resent the remark It he thought his opponent made It in a responsible frame of mind.

In his reply Mr. Mondell took oc casion to differ with the settlers as to the advisability of the government's establishing a telephone system upon the project He also opposed the suggestion made previously by Mr. Dodd that the residence clause In the reclamation act ahould be altered. He declared to alter that clause would aid land sellers and speculators but not the real settlers. He declared that notwithstanding appeals upon the subject the residence clause would not be repealed. Committor Is Impartial. Senator Harry Lane and Congress man Sinnutt were the only speakers aside from Mr. Mondell. Senator Lane did not make an extended talk but Mr. Slnnott took occasion to say that the handling of the reclamation subject by the appropriations com mittee Is mora likely to result In Jus tice to Oregon than would the hand ling of matters by the Irrigation com mittee, of which he Is a member, and which committee he originally wished to have Jurisdiction. He bas ed his view UQon the fact the appro- prlatlon committee members being mostly easterners are Impartial In regards to the western states, where as the Irrigation committee Is made up lurgely of westerners each anxious to get something for his own district. Congressman Slnnott lauded the ap propriation committeemen for the hard work they are doing on their present tour of Inspection and pre dicted they will be fair to Oregon. mm WRANGLE CONTEST Laugh and Frown ij ,-L . - ( J Li ...... 4 it Be" V.J- SKI ZV4 I .
