After discussing tho causes of tho

point to describe tho manner In
Which tho presont law w-ns obtained.
"DurlnRAuKUst, 1912, tho Hon
orable Oswald West. tfovornor of tho
State of Oregon, mado n trip across
tho entire state, nasslnr throuch the
Hrltl lands In tho central and eastern
classed ns one of tho moat progress
Blvo stops in legislation over tnkon
for tho development of a Western

Work by Cwntrnet Unwise,
tho construction work finished
during tlto soason la described In do
tail. In regard to contract work, Mr.
Murgaard says: "A few small con
tracts were lot for construction work
on tho feed canal and mora or less
trouble was experienced with each of
these contracts with tho possible ox
ceptlon of one, and wo bollovo, taken
as a whole, that tho state would
have accomplished rosults In a groat
deal less time, and would have se
cured better and more economical
work In splto of tho fact that strict
supervision and Inspection was main
tained over all tho contracts by the
engineering organisation."
Tht men engaged In the land clas

this meeting, tho Governor presented
n. plan, which, in his opinion, might
Jesuit in the oomplote ro-orgunlsa-tlon
and reconstruction of the proj

' directly or Ind'rectly. As tho set
tlors on the vrojoct had become
thoroughly dissatisfied and had lost
nil faith In the probability of private
capital being able tg reorganlxo
same, they grasped the idea present
ed by tho Governor with considerable
enthusiasm. Tho settlers on tho
Project, together with the people of
Laldlaw and vicinity, presented this
matter at a meeting of tho Central
Oregon Development League at Lako
Vlaw on August' 21-23, 1912, which
meeting adopted strong resolutions
that the state should take soma de
cisive steps to assist in tho reorgani
zation of tho project and fulfillment
of tho pledges to tho settlers, not only
by the company but also implied uy
certain state officials.
"On January 9-11, 1913, at a meet
