Kales Jltnmcs Tho Governor.
(Special to Tho Dultctln.)
SALEM, April 27. J. E. Morson
told tho members of the Desert Land
Hoard, at a meeting laBt Friday, that
ho Intended to proceed with tho work
on tho Deschutes Land Company's
project at La IMne and It did not mat
ter .to him whether tho board extend
ed his contract, which expires May 1,
or not.
He said his contract, which was
drawn under tho 1901 Irrigation law
contained a clause under which all
the board could do was to servo no
tice on him to proceed with the work
oa the project and In ess. ho did
proceed within 60 days tho contract
would romaln In effect until tho ex
piration of the state's contract with
the government, which Is not until
October 1, 1915.
"I want the board to servo notice
on mo now," ho said. "I'm going
to proceed with tho wdrk on tho pro
ject and if I'm let alone there will
bo no moro stops until it is all com
pleted."
Owing to the failure of tho secre
tary of the Desert Land Board to
properly advise Morson of the
Board's request for a description of
the lands disposed of by options and
certificates, Morson did not bring
such information. Neither did ho
have a detailed financial statement
of bis receipts and expenditures
which tho Doard desired.
Mr. Morson told the board, how
ever, that be had collected $223,112
from all sates and that It all had
been spent on the project. He said
that 14,000 acres had been obligated
through options and certificates. Of
this amount 5000 acres aro in the
west sldo unit and 9000 acres are In
the east side unit.
Governor West asked him if he
would be willing for those holding
land on tho east sldo to change for
land on tho west side, which will be
completed first, if he was given an
extension of time on his contract.
Morrison said those on the east side
would not want to change because be
fore they could move and clear a
piece of land he will have water on
the cast sldo tract.
He said all the blamo for tho de
lay In tho project on the governor,
who replied that because the Cres
cent lake reservoir site was held up
bv the government was no reason
why Morson should not have complet
ed tho west side unit, which is not
dependent upon tho reservoir for its
supply of water.
Several sharp tilts occurred be
tween the governor and Morson.
"My baby never wants candy until
someone suggests candy," said Mor
son," and I see the governor has
suggested that I could steal J360,
000 from the project. He has put
the Idea In my head and I want to
say that I think I am a big enough
man to do It."
"To be frank," replied tho gover
nor. "I have never doubted It."
"Yea. they say It takes a thief to
catch a thief," retorted Morson.
Attorney General Crawford asked
Morson If be thought he had ability
to finance tho completion of the pro
ject, and Morson replied that ho had
not even taken the matter up.
No action of anv kind In the mat
ter was taken by the board.

At the Dream Theatre Monday
night Mrs. John Wigle of Prlnevllle
delivered a lecture on Victor Hugo's
novel "Les Mlserables," describing
the masterful work with considerable

At the opening the Dream Theatre
orchestra played fine numbers most
excellently, and then a quartet con
sisting of Mrs. Powelson, Mrs. For
rest, Miss Troutner and Mrs. Putnam
sang, accompanied by Miss Gravos.
The lecture was for tho benefit of
the library. However, little more
than the expenses of the evening was
oleared.

Ordinary observation has gathered
a great number of weather signs from
Imply the ever varying colors of tbe

A bright bluo sky Is tho sky of fine

A bright yctlow sky at sunset prom
ises winds, a pale yellow sky rain
and n "sickly greenish" sky both wind
and rain. A rosy sky at sunset prom
ises fair weather, but a dark red sky
at sunset promises rain. A red sky in
the morning promises wind or rain.
