OWYHEE IRRIGATION PRO JECT IS GIVEN NEW LIFE Salem That the Owyhee reclama tion project In Malheur county, one of the largest of the reclamation pro Jects In Oregcn may come under the 120,000,000 appropriation to supple ment the irrigation fund ami that the company which has been promoting the Owyhee has abandoned the pro ject owing to financial difficulties, became known here. . State Engineer John H. Lewis is now starting to attempt to place the project under the arm of the reclam ation service and give the Federal authorities a chance to develop it through their priority claims against subsequent email filings,, which, If tbey become valid, will work to defeat any comprehensive development. The Owyuee is situated in Malheur eounty and includes nearly 150,000 acres. The Owyhee and Malheur pro jects were begun prior to the act ad vancing 120,000,000 to supplement the reclamation fund, approved June 25, 1910, and the water rights were Init iated long prior. If the private en terprise fails to begin construction in the near future, and the government falls to protect its advantageous po sition as to water filings, the project may be so complicated by smaller subsequent filings as to defeat any comprehensive development NEWS -OF NOTED PERSONS. 19 Duroc Jersey Brood Sows from Murdock stock ranch on Day Ridge.

' Oregonlan Comment. The Oregonlan comments gain on the sen erne in its issue of June 28: "A tenth scheme for county divis ion appeared for Initiative enactment next November annexation of a piece of Washington county to Multnomah. These county questions are proper subjects for legislative attention where they can be studied on their merits and be amended and adjusted to suit local needs. The great trouble with the initiative measures is that each and all of them emanate from a spec- ' lal Interest No element should ever be allowed to frame laws regardless of other elements of the population. Tet that is what they undertake to do when tney refuse to take their bills before the legislature and Insist on enacting them by the 'direct' method Lawmaking Is one of the oldest of the affairs of men and ftgeg of exper ience have proved the superiority of legiblation by delegates Instead of by the mass.
