THK HRNI BVTittfTIN, MKNI, WHIlNKHDAY, MAY 7, 19M, f AGK 8. mtl iti Hi BOARD REFUSES TO IKE ORDER SETTLERS DEMAND IS TURNED DOWN C. O. I. Company Ofllclnls Appcnr llefore Innl Oomnilslon ami mm ltoult State Decides Against Forfeiture of the lloiul. A Salem dispatch of the 3rd to tlio Portland Orogonlan Bays: lly a voto of three to one. tho State Desert Land Hoard refused to com ply with tho application of K. I). Williams, of Crook county, calling for tho forfclturo of a $25,000 bond Klvcn by tho Central Oregon Irriga tion Company to Insure tho enlarge ment of tho Central Oregon canal of tho project, and also to lnsuro the stato aa to a llumo constructed by It. Williams announced after tho vote that ho would Instltuto manda mus proceedings to compel the board to declaro tho bond forfeited. Charging that the company had failed to comply with Its contract in enlarging tho Central Oregon Canal of Its project, and that becauso of lack of water settlers were unable to secure patents to their lands, 'Williams, an owner of land in tho ptoject and representing a number of settlors, appeared beforo tho board a week ago and asked for a hearing. The board directed the company to appear before It and show cause why Its bonds should not bo forfeited, and today Roscoe Howard, manager of the company, and Jcsso Stearns, of Portland, secretary, ap peared beforo the board for that purpose. Flume's Condition Good. The afternoon was consumed with the Introduction of evidence to show the soundness of tho flume and it was all to tho effect that It was In good condition. During the after noon the board devoted Itself to the question as to whether the central canal could supply sufficient water. Howard admitted It ought to bo en larged, but said that it would be Impossible- at tho present to secure money to do the work. He contend ed, however, that for tho present It was large enough and declared that If tho company is not further har assed that It will bo In a position to enlargo It or comploto tho north canal. "All theso complnlnts to tho board como from n fow dlssntlolled settlors llko Mr. Williams horo, who Is In nr renrs with his payment, and lujuro tho company and do not bonollt them," said Howard. "Hack of much of It nlso is Stato Kuglncor Lewis, who scut Incompetent men Into tho Hold and whoso Bourco of Information Is Incorrect as to tho cannl nnd our llumo. Tho llumo Is In good condition and wo are doing our lovel bcBt to reclaim tho lands in the project and it wo can got rid of this continual agitation from n fow disgruntled settlers wo will bo nil right. They aro not farmers, but Jaw artists, and being unable to mako any progress in farming, they exorcise their Jaws. None of tho real fanners aro hero presenting any g'rlorauces, but aro at work." "To mako nn order directing thnt our bond be forfeited or directing vis to pay now would bo futllo," de clared Stearns In addressing tho board. "You cannot mako a bank rupt pay. You can force us to the wall, but neither tho state nor set tlers will be benefited by that. It Is practically Impossible to secure money on irrigation securities now. Tho company is doing Its tcst." "Now that you have grunted tho company everything thnt It wants, I would suggest thnt you allow It to withdraw notes amounting to $10, 000 en deposit with a trustee," sar castically declared Williams, after tho board had ruled against htm when tho question of allowing tho company to substitute notes with tho trustee for cash It had collected from settlers. "Turn them all over to tho com pany. This Is just horso ploy to keep thorn with tho trustee as a guarantee fund. If jou aro going to do anything: with them at all, turn them over to tho company and let It use them In securing money to In vest In the project." Howard Protests Further. Mr. Howard protested, however, against such a procedure and after discussing tho subject it was finally decided to allow the company to sub stitute with tho trustee notes for about $2700 of cash collected by tho company. Tho company represented that it Intends to sue on a $15,000 bond given by one of tho contractors on tho project, and this, together with tho further fact that the board do- strcs to givo It every opportunity to flnanco the project and wna unable to neo where any benefit would flow by reason of the forfeiture of tho bond, refused to declaro It forfeited. It also granted tho company an exten sion of time to complete Its north canal. The company represents the largest Irrigation project In tho state. Tht Qrssk Flours.
