8ALEM, Aug. 20 Tho Stato hav
ing como Into possession of all the
rights, title and Interest of tho de
funct Columbia Southern Irrigation
Company, and Its successors. In Iho
Carey Act project near Laldlaw, Ore
gon, and the question being ui as to
what atena thonld bo taken by tho
State to give relief and protection to ,
tho settler and purchasers of water
rights on said segregation, tho fol
lowing plan, briefly Btafed, Is sug
gested by GoTernor West as a solu
tion to the problem and will be pre
sented to the Desert .Land Hoard and
to the Legislature for consideration,
to wit:
That unless Alma D. Katz, In ac
cordance with tho terms of prelimi
nary contract entered Into with the
Desert Land Board, on or before De
cember 51. 1912, enters Into n per
manent contract for the reclamation
of the lands covered by segregation
list' No. 13 and No. 34 and containing
about 31,730 acres, no other such
contract be entered Into with anyone
ty the Desert Land Uoard, but that
the State Itself undertake the recla
mation of these lands through Its
own agents and with Its own funds.
The funds to be provided by di
rect appropriation, loans from the
common school funds or In such
other manner as the legislature may
deem proper. The amount so ad
vanced, of course, to be recovered
through the sale of the lands re
claimed and to be returned to the
source from which It came.
The work of construction to bo
carried on under the direction of the
Desert Land Uoard through the Stato
Engineer or such other engineer aa
may bo employed by the Board for
that purpose.
The lands reclaimed to be sold at
cost, or. If deemed wise, with a small
added profit which could go to the
common school fund. Settlers to be
given ample time In which to pay for
the lands purchased.
Settlers now on the land and en
joying water rights adjudicated by
the Stato Hoard ot Control would bo
fully protected In tho rights nnd ad
vantages which they now enjoy nnd
would bo furnished such water nn
they might need for the Irrigation of
additional 1 inula at tho prevailing
price tlxod by tho Board after tho re
clamation of tho lnnd and tho de
termination ot tho cost.
Other holdora of old contractu to
be given consideration through the
refiindlnit of tho amount nald on tho
snld contract or tho receiving of1
credit for such amounts If tho lands
are repurchased front tho State nnd
at tho then prevailing price or cost
of reclamation.

to collect evidence for tho purposu
or effecting a clean-up hlmsolf. In
support ot this defense ho cited his
order tho following morning that
gambling bo stopped. According to
J. X. Crenshaw, In an Interview yes
terday, tho prosecution met the alle
gations by inquiring why it was nec
essary to play cards nil night to get
evtdenco, atul how It caino that In
his order tho mayor had said that
gambling was to cease "after this
dato," It he had not been fully aware
that It had been progressing In tho
past.
Six other charges of gambling
were preferred, All the other plead
guilty, and were fined from 2T to
$50,' and costs.
Wrt Wants llrtilgnatlon.
As soon a Jones was convicted,
West was notified, and
found guilty, and fined $200 and
costs.
The esse haa been appealed to the
Circuit Court.
The trial ts said to have been a
red hot one. Q. A. McKarlane, the
Republican nominee for the county
Judgeship, was attorney for Jones,
and fought desperately to prove that
his mayor client was guiltless.
Wlllard H. Wlrtx. of Prlnevllle.

prosecution, assisted by J. P. Burke
of Portland and A. P. Hewitt or

The Juror were: F, A. Woods, J.
O. Hanson, and Messrs. Oakes.
Euston, LandU and Barry.
Was Detecting, Too.
The chief defense put forward, It
is understood, was thst Jones alleged
he was playing poker for tho same
reason that Dillon played, namely,
forthwith demanded the resignation
of the mayor and ot the city marshal.
Jonea took no action on the Govern
ors request. It waa then that Gov
ernor West got mad.
"If I do not got the resignation of
Mayor Jones tomorrow, the town will
be put under martial law," said West
at Salem. Ho had arranged to send
a detachment of soldiers Monday.
Monday Jones still remained firm.
Klna'.y, It Is understood, a deal waa
offered to tho leaders of tho reform-
there occurred n secret session of the
council. Monday Governor West re
ceived the following telegram from
that body:
"Iteslgnatton of Mayor Jonea In
hands of City Council," stated th
telegram, "who are holding same un
til a thorough Investigation can lie
niado. We would like a disinter
ested committee to make an Investi
gation of local conditions. You
name one man. Council will name
another, and tho two will choose a
third. We believe you are not In
formed as to conditions here."
In response to this mosssge Gov
ernor West sent tho following telc
aram: "itepl)lng to your telegram, tho In
vestigation already made and evi
dence which It seems waa sufficient
to causo a Jury of your cltlxens to

Jones Is unfit to hold the office of

Crenshaw and hla followers refused
to countenance.
"We wont let him name his suc
cessor," said M,r. Crenshaw. When
asked it he had any preferences, he
named either Ben Gotter or Carl
Khret. Both are well known lled
