LOS ANGELES, Dec. 26 Harry
New, accused of killing his sweet
heart, Frieda Lesser, may not know
his fate until New Years Day. This
was Indicated wbeu the court opened
this morning after allowing only one
day for the colisbrutloa of the Christ
mas seuson. Attorneys for tho de
fense slated tbat they still have a
number of witnesses to be "'. balled.
These will b cbleflr JaU muUs or
New, who have been In close touch
wllh him. All will testify In support
of the Insanity plea.
The question of the relationship
let ween the defendant and L'nlted
States Senator Harry New, was del
ved into deeply at the morning ses
sion of the trial. After a deposition
by Mrs. Martha Cudder, sister of
Harry New's mother, bad been read.
District Attorney Woolwine refused
to admit that Senator New is the de
fendant's father, on the grounds that
the deposition contained Insufficient
proof. Other depositions were also
read, lending to show the alleged
relationship.
Down to New
Thirty billion dollars In gold at the bottom of the ocean In the
BrltlBh liner Laurentla, was the Incentive which spurred Inventors on
to perfect a diving suit whioh could be used successfully at new
depths heretofore impossible due to the pressure of water. And as
usual an American turned the trick. Here is the armour which
Charles H. Jackson (colored mechanic and Inventor, shown on tho
left), has perfected enabling the diver to go twice as deep as former
ly. At the lest, near Boston, this diver went down S80 feet and per- '
, formed successfully, thus establishing a new record In deep-sea div
ing. The trail for the British gold, sunk by a German submarine,
is to be made soon. '

As the outcome of the bearing
before the Desert Land board In
Salem Tuesday, a decision from the
board on the question of whether or
not the C. O. I. Co.. to be allowed to
sell -water for 1.600 acres of laud In
the Lone Pine Irrigation district. Is
expected this evening or tomor
row. H. H. DeArmond, representing
the C. O. I. district, 'which Is fighting
tbe proposed sale, accompanied by
Charles Elklns, Frank Foster, C. H.

senting respectively the communities
of Terrebonne and Redmond, Powell

peared before the board in Its hear
ing TueBday. . '
Tbe eaer.argnment put up "the
settlers la, that the irrigation system
is already taxed to its capacity In
supplying water for 23,000 acres-.
Supplementing this, at the hearing.
were affidavits from settlers- to the
effect that an actual water shortage
had existed on some ranches during
the last summer.
A year's continuance of the case
was asked by Mr. DeArmond, In
order that an entirely accurate re
port on tbe capacity of the system.
and the duty rf water can be secured
by the board. This is in line with
the statement made by Professor
Powers, of the Oregon Agricultural
college, who testified that l.S of an
acre foot of water is not sufficient for
the proper irrigation of the Central
Oregon soil, and who mentioned in
addition that within a year's time he
can complete experiments on the pro
per duty of wafer for this section.

F1LK AUTlt'LKS OF INCORPOR
ATION' FOR $50,000 t'OMPAXY.
As a phase of the purchase of
over. 13. 000 acres of potato laud
between Powell Butte and Prine
villc, by George L. Burtt. one of the
biggest potato buyers on the coast,
and associates in Central Oregon
and elsewhere is the organization
of the Deschutes Valley Seed Co.,
articles of incorporation tor which
have been filed in the office of
the county clerk. Capital stock is
listed at 50.000.
The incorporators are Guy E.
Dobson. Redmond banker, Mr.
Burtt, aud George L. Reid. A wide
range of agricultural activities is
made possible by the articles, but
It is understood that the company's
work will be chiefly the produc
tion of Netted Gem seed for the
California market. The marketing
of tubers for table uses will not be
neglected, for Deschutes Valley po
tatoes habitually bring higher bids
from buyers than even the Yakima
product. An especial effort, how
ever, is to be made to supply the
demand of California growers for
Central Oregon raised seed.

Taxes to bo collected In De
schutes county during the coming
year aside from city and district
levies will total 1156,09ft, $21,78
more than had been listed in tbe
advertised budget. This -was an
nounced today following tbe county
court session which reached its end
Wednesday night. The levy actu
ally comes to $156,609, but the
Impossibility of extending tbe mil-
4
lage to a small enought decimal to
compute tbe exact amount, causes
a slight lessening. Tbe advance
from tbe estimate originally made
is due to the soldiers' and sailors'
aid, and the market roads measure,
which add to tbe state tax though
not included In tbe six per cent
statutory limitation, the court ex
plained. , ,
Keeping the expenditures as low
as possible, the revised budget .
shows a paring of close to 10 per
cent on practically all items where
the levy is not fixed by law, or
where, the county has not pledged
itself to a certain amount, as In the
case of the $3000 library appropri
ation. The appropriation of $1600
asked by the Red Cross, for the
purchase and upkeep of a car, was
cut to $1000.
; ., Millage Is, 77 J.
Ullage on tbje .county levy
amounts to 18.4, outside. of dis
tricts where high schools are main
tained. Inside such districts, how
ever, the high school tuition tax of
1.3 mills is dropped, leaving 17.1.
The Bend city levy, already set, ia
30.2 mills, and that ia School dis
trict No. 1, 30.5, making a total
for Bend of 77.8. eight-tenths of a
mill less than last year, and eight-
tenths of a mill more than The
Bulletin estimate, compiled early in
November, showed. Redmond's mit
lage comes to 52.4.
The county levies as announced
by the court, together with the
uiillage for cash, are as1 follows:
State. $44,689,503 mills: County
General Fund, $71,533, 7.99 mills;
Road and Bridge fund, $S,SS7. one
