THE STEARNS PLAN.
The proposition advanced by At

Mrs. Ed Spon, Mrs. John Dennis, Mr.
Tomploton, Mrs. Spcltou, Mrs. Miller
and Daughter, Fay, Billy Lang, Miss
Ruby Richards and Lillian Van Ma
tre returned from the huokloborry
patches with about 70 gallons of ber
ries. They saw bear tracks but didn't
see the bear.
Viola Miller was helping Mrs.
Beard last week while Mrs. Beard
was ill.
Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Peterson were
calling on Mr. and Mrs. V. V. Van
Mutre Sunday.
Earl Miller, Eleanor Van Matre,
Dean Van Matre, Idella Miller, Gladys
Parberry and Lillian Van Matre at
tended the dance In Sisters Friday
night.
Mr. and Mrs. L. G. Grube and fam
ily had dinner last Sunday in Oregon,
with Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Cllne.
J. L. Parberry was hauling lumber
from Sisters Monday.
George Cyrus returned home Mon
day from Corvallls, where he has been
at the bedside of his sick mother, who
is reported as being no better.
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hodson and
Mrs. Frank Arnold returned from the
huckleberry patch Sunday evening
but they failed to get any berries.
Some Indians were selling huckle
berries in Cloverdale Monday.
Sir. and Mrs. Barnes took dinner
Monday with Mr. and Mrs. Bert Hod-
is Mr. Hudson's
tion company and the settlers on the
project would seem to be born of a
fear lest the proposed irrigation dis
trict plan go through. In fact, Mr.
Stearns admitted as much when he
said, as reported in Salem dispatches,
that the district might come in and
put the company out of business, and
on that account he objected to It.
That the success of the disrtict
plan would have the elimination of
the company as one of its results is
thoroughly understood. That 13 not
the chief end of the plan but it is a
necessary and expected result. And
because the company sees the hand
writing on the wall it has come for
ward with its new plan.
In view of the settlers' feelings to
ward the company, Mr. Stearns must !
nave realized mat his plan had no
chance of success unless forced upon
the settlers by the Desert Land
Board. Otherwise he would presum
ably have sought to obtain settler ac
ceptance of 4he plan and indorsement
of it before the board. He must have
known, however, that that was not
obtainable, and since it is not he
must realize that after all he is lead
ing a forlorn hope, because it Is im
possible that the Land Board will
take any favorable stand unless set
tlers agree to the idea.
The plan .itself seems to be little
different from the existing situation,
so far as the dispatches Indicate. Un
der tlie present law, as we understand
it, it is now open to the company and
the settlers to form a corporation
which shall take over the segrega
tion, stock ownership to be based on
acreage ownership. That seems to
be what Mr. Stearns proposed in Sa
lem yesterday.
We do not believe that anyone
wants to see the company lose any
thing to which it is justly entitled,
'although no great effort can .be ex
pected to help save its investment at
Deschutes. On the other hand if it
wants assistance in saving what it
can It will have to meet the settlers
more than half way, which it appar
ently was not doing in Salem yesterday.
L. G. Grube and family left Sun
day for their new home in California
Their many friends wish them suc-
ces sand happiness In their new home

Speaking of the decoration in the
Order of Bath, recently conferred on
ex-Ambassador Gerard by King
George, of England, the Corvallis
Gazette-Times says: "We don't know
exactly what his duties are as Knight
of the Baith, . but we trust that he
doesn't slip in the tub." , Or get soap
in his eye.
, Everyone -who. travels away from
Central Oregon this summer comes
back saying that people may talk all
they please about objections to the
local climate, but they cannot get
away from the fact that the irrigated
land Is producing crops this summer
Then all the rest of the state is dry
ing up.
H. H. De Armond, local attorney,
who with Mr. McCoIloch, represents
the settlers on the C. O. I. segrega
tions, characterized the plan for a
water users' corporation as "an at
tempt to thwart the will of the land
holders."
"It is a scheme to retain control
by the company after the land has
been turned back to the government.
he said. "The irrigation district Is
being organized In lieu of just such
a thing. The settlers will pay no at
tention to the proposed corporation
plan, ut will go right ahead with
their organization."
