Final Hearing In Drake-!), I. & P. Cases, Will bo Heard nt Tlie Dalles. t ' Hcud citizcus and many of the settlers in the segregation were con siderably interested last week in the suit of Mr. Drake against the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Co. The case was to have been argued before Judge Bradshaw at Prme villc, but the irrigation company was not ready to present its. ,casc ajul asked for n continuance. How eVcr, a portion of the evidence was taken. More testimony will lx;., intro-ii dttccd by the company at a -hearing in Portland, and after the testimony in rebuttal is taken the case will be argued Iwforc Judge Bradshaw at The Dalles. "The company seems disposed," said Mr. Drake, "to occasion as much expense and delay as possi ble. Heretofore they claimed un der their contract rights above the pqiht of the original lteadgatc, while now they seem to claim rights an the plea of necessity occasioned because of their change of plans and enlargement. Iu their answer they denied intention to do any further trespass, but the moment the judge dissolved tho temporary injunction they rushed iu n lhrgs force and constructed a dam entire ly across the river where they had no claim of right whatsoever. We do not propose to allow them to- ob struct the river and, shut off all driving pf logs hereafter . to Bend, merely for the purpose of injuring the place, nor will we permit them to take more water at that place than necessary to fill the original flume apd supply the lauds under it on the Pilot Butte canal. They have tlOMrlght to take water from that hcadgatc for thpCb1htral pre gou and other lauds, ard fti'e rtt tempt to do so iu direct conflict with their ontract with ' the state will later involve trouble for their purchasers as well as themselves. To add to the complications they have permitted the original water rigntsjo lapse, andin attempting to file flew notices they, have again failed td comply with the statutes.
