tended a voto of confldonco to Carl
A. Johnson, the only ono of the
throe directors whose terms expire
next Monday who will bo out for
re-election. Mr. Johnson announced
hln candidacy this noon, stating that
tho filing of tho recall petition
against him was the only fuctor in
ducing him to run again for the
directorship. In a brief address to
the club, he outlined the circum
stances arising from the board's re
fusal to re-elect a certain Kenwood
Instructor, which had been mado the
basis for the recall movement, and
closed with an appeal to tho people
of Ucnd to uphold the directors in
their endeavor to make the local
school nysleni more efficient and of
a higher moral tone.
(Iinrgm Answered.
Touching on the various allega
tions made in the petition, Mr. John
son denied Hint any outsido Influence
hnd had any effect whatever In
school affairs. Tho charge that ho
hud dominated the other members
of tho board, he said, would be
ridiculous It it were not an Insult
to tho other directors. "
In connection with the school sit

of employes and Interfered In de
fiance of law" with the postul work
ers' organizations. c
Tho resolution asked that Presi
dent Wilson remove Burleson. It
declared that the postmaster general
had sought to have repealed the con
stitutional right of employes to direct

TWO Al'TOMOUILKS.
One of tho biggest liquor ship
ments which has been halted In Cen

into Hend Inst night by Tom Word,
formerly sheriff of Multnomah coun
ty, now with the department of jus
tice, und Sheriff E. E. Woodcock of
Lake county. Four hundred and
thirty-five quarts of whiskey, nl
leged to huvo been brought Into tho
stnto from California, were stored In

Jail, nnd the former owners of the
liquor, G. V. Wilson nnd James
King, both of Portland, were given

WORK IS COMMENCED
BY ENGINEERS.
WILL DOUBLE POWER
linal Decisions by Desert Land Board
on Kxurt K talus of Company's
BJglits on Hie Tumalo Kx
ported to Be Favorable.
Preliminary engineering work for
tho construction of an 1800 horse
power plant on the Tumalo at the
Columbia Southern ditch was started
this morning by the Bend, Water,
Light & Power Co., following the re
turn of Manager T. H. Foley from
Salem. The point at which the plant
Is to be erected, providing satisfac
tory arrangements are made with
the desert land board, is seven and a
half miles, air line, from Bend. The
plant, it Is estimated, would cost In
the neighborhood of $125,000, Its
capacity would equal the total horse
power of the company's Bend plants,
and construction would take from
10 months to a year.
Power development on the Tum
alo was made necessary when plans
for building a 5000-horsepower plant
at Lava falls were cancelled by the
tying up of all Deschutes water
rights for irrigation. At the time
announcement was made in regard
to this, several weeks ago, the power
company was offered rights on the
Tumalo, but these were somewhat In
volved, and the situation has Just
been clarified by recommendations
which the state engineer has decided
to make to the desert land board.
Ratification by eastern officials of
the Bend Water, Light & Power Co.
has not yet been given, but the pre
liminary work is being started to
avoid any waste of time.
VICTORY ROSE SHO'7

(Hy United Pre to The Bonil Bulletin.)
PORTLAND. June 1 1. Portland's
most famous annual event, its rose
show, opened today with the ring
I ins down of the final curtain sched
j ukd for Friday night.
I The show this year is called the
i Victory Rose festival, because it is
not only Hie yearly tribute to the

celebration In honor of the return of
soldiers, sailors and marines to Ore
gon. 80-ACRE RANCH IS

Announcement was made today of

Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Bussett and their
son Lloyd, the consideration in

DELEGA TION OF TAXPA YERS
APPROVES OF CITY BUDGET
That the clly budget for next year.
I tentntivolv net twn HnVR a en nt
$51,010, will go before the people
for formal ratification without
change, wns decided Inst night when
tho estlmnte of expenses was thor
oughly explained In tho presence of
n delegation of taxpayers attending
tho adjourned council meeting. Ques
tions wore called for following the
explanation by City Attorney C. S.
Benson, and many wero nsked, not
In a spirit of criticism, but appar
ently to secure information. At the
closo of tho session tho only fault
found with tho budget was that it
may not provide lurge enough sal
aries for some of tho city officials.
Proposed expenditures were consid
ered to bo entirely necessary for the
city's wolfnre.
Kconomles Effected.
Al Edwards, formerly a rtiombor
of tho council, spoko emphatically
on the city's need for money If Bond's
affairs are to be handled as befits
a municipality of this size. "When
CO. I. COMPANY
WOULD DOUBLE
PRESENT FEES
RATE OF $2 ASKED IN
APPLICATION.
SETTLERS WILL FIGHT
Apia'al to Public Service Commission
for Advance Based on Cost of
.Maintenance and Need for
Costly Reconstruction.
Need for $135,000 worth of re
pairs, reconstruction and improve
ments on the Central Oregon Irri
gation project Is given as the chief
reason for an advance in mainten
ance fees charged settlers,, to $2 an
acre, which Is being asked of tho
state public service commission br
the company. A copy of the applica
tion was received this morning by H.
H. DeArreond, attorney for the Irri
gation district, who declared that a
determined fight will be mad-)
against tbe rate Increase.
Maintenance fees at present lu
effect are 80 cents and $1 per acre,
varying according to the time when
the contract was entered Into, so
that the granting of tbe company's
application would mean that ex
penses to the settlers under this
head would be at least doubled.
Improvements Outlined.
The company's application sets
forth that maintenance under the
present charges Is impossible and
that within the next ten years heavy
expenses will be caused by numerous
improvements. These include the re
building of the stave pipe flume at
Powell Butte at an estimated cost
of $10,000, the rebuilding or the
big wood flume above Bend costing
$60,000, rebuilding of the wood pipe
flume near Redmond, with nine other
flumes, at $20,000, with $45,000 for
the construction of new flumes In the
district. The increase asked, it Is
t;mated, would add approximately
KjO.OOO.OOO to the company's ac
counts recelvcable.
CoinniUttion Recognized.
The appeal to the public service,
commision, Mr. De Armond empha
slzi.s. is an admission by the company
of the authority of that budy. which
was hotly disputed In 1916 when
the settlers asked for an order
for the regulation and control of the
C. O. I. company by the commission.
At the hearing at that time, he
points out, an audit of the company's
books showed that a good profit was
being made in spite of the fact that
a considerable percentage of accounts
had not been collected. As an out
come of the hearing, tbe company
was order to set aside $3500 an
nually for the rebuilding of the big
flume above Bend. ,
Hot Fight Predicted.
"The district will make a deter
mined fight in this case." Mr. De
Armond said, "for we consider that
tho situation does not warrant tho
increase which has been applied for.
If the company would collect all ac
counts payable, there would be suf
ficient to keep the system in excellent
repair, while it the proper funds had
(Continued on Last Page.)
I was on the council, we tried to get
by without funds," he said, "but we
made no progress." In response to
one of his questions regarding the
police department. It wns shown Hint
although Increased salnrles huvo
gone into effect, nnd while further
advances are expected for tho com
ing year, tho allowance made for this
department is no larger than t.vo
yeurs ngq, n number of important
economies having been effected w hich
have tended to preserve u balanco.
Election Xot Yet Net.
In addition to the budget, a $300')
appropriation for tho Carnegie li
brary fund, a $5000 bond issue to
provide a revolving fund for imme
diate financing of city improvements
and a charter nnfendment making
the city election law conform to the
statutes, will be submitted to tlio
voters. The charter amendment, It
Is expected, will bo drawn up 'by
Thursday, and on thnt evening tlio
council will again convene to fix tl:n
date for the special election at whklt
these questions' will be decided.
