HER USERS

IRRIGATION COMPANIES Pl'HLIC
HKItVICK CORIH)RATIOXS, IS
itl'LlXG GIVEN BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL BROWN.
(By United PreM to the Bend Bulletin)
SALEM. April 11. Attorney Gen
eral Brown decided today that irri
gation companies engaged in the
rental of water and maintaining
ditches for general Irrigation pur
poses are public service corporations
under the laws of Oregon, and that
as such, their rates are subject to
regulation by the public service com
mission. The decision is considered highly
Important. It was given when the
question arose in the case of Merri
man et al, vs. J. F. Luse & Co.. the
defendants supplying water for Ir
rigated lands In tho Sutherlln valley.
Attorney General Brown's opinion
backs up the stand taken by the Cen
tral Oregon Irrigation Co. Water Us
ors' association tn tho fall of 1915,
'whon on the advice of their attorney,
H. II. DeArmond, they attempted to
bring the C. O. I. before the commis
sion for a hearing. The company
objected to tho hearing, filing a writ
of prohibition In the Supreme court,
and this phase of the case was dis
missed on motion of the water users.
Another writ of prohibition was In
troduced In the circuit court, and
again on the motion of the water
users, tho case was dismissed.
The company later submitted to a
hearing before the commission, but
without acknowledging the right of
such a proceeding. Recently the
Squnw Creek Irrigation Co. volun
tarily admitted that It belonged In
the class of public service corpora
tions by petitioning tho commission
to be allowed to raise Us rates.
The opinion of th-i attorney ren
erol, however, Is the fim: of'Mal de
cision establishing the now sti'tuj ot
Irrigation companies.

German Officers Flee for Lives When
Hiilg'a Artillery Cnlimhem Be

Defense Not Far Distant.
By William Phillip Slmms,
(United PreM Suit Correspondent.)
WITH THE BRITISH "AFIELD.
April 11. The crimp made in the
German line by the Incessant ham
mering of General Halg's British,
forces, reached a depth of five miles
to the east of Arras today. Contin
uously advancing, the strength of the
British offensive move Increased aa
each line of the enemy crumbled In
turn.
The push was continued today
along a 50-mile battle front. Elated
by their recent victories, confident
of their superior strength, and secure
in the perfect, co-ordination of all
arms of the service, the British
poured In waves, despite the freezing.
blustery weather and the outbursts
of blinding snowstorms.
The Germans were forced to re
treat when the British artillery tire
turned their positions into literal
muck. Prisoners taken by Haig's
soldiers told their captors that the
British fire was so cyclonic that many
officers fled for their lives.
VImy Ridge, the prize taken by the
Canadian forces, Is still more firm
ly held than ever. Tremendous ef
forts of the German commanders to
dislodge the British from the heights
failed utterly. The British were able
to advance to the north and south
of the ridge, despite the most violent
opposition. '
The depth to which the German
line has been penetrated, hints that
it is actually breaking.
