SALEM, Dec. 27. Stato Highway
Engineer Cantlne has received from
tho La Pine Commercial Club resolu
tions requesting that before dodnlte
plans are settled for the expenditure
of the $20,000 nvallablo for road
work between Ilend and the Klnmath
county lino n committee of La I'lne
citizens lie heard by him. They fur
ther nBk Cantlne to go over tho pro
posed routes with them.
The resolutions allege that "cer
tain cltlzons of llcnd are urging the
choice of n west side routo nnd tho
building of a now hard surfaced road
from Ik' ml as far southward" as tho
money will pay for It. It Is also
stated that tho proposed west side
routo Is Inferior to the present east
sltld route, Hint thei money would bo
spent to greater advantngo repairing
tho present road nnd that construc
tion Bliould begin at Lava Ilutto and
work both ways.
The communication was brought
to tho attention of Governor Wlthy
combe, who replied by requesting Mr.
Cantlne to make personal Investiga
tion of all the facts In tho case. "All
tho Highway Commission wants,"
said tho Governor, "la to get tho
most for our monoy." Ho pointed
out, however, that it was against tho
Commission's policy to spend money
for temporary work.

Slnco leaving collego .Mr. Shovlln
has mrdo hlmsolf felt as a football
coach, having been called upon by
Ynlo teams for assistance more than
onco when tho conches In charge woro
making failures or tho work. Under
his last minute instruction Yale onco
held Hnrvnrd to a scoreless tie, a
virtual victory, and only this last (all,

Immedlntoly on leaving collego In
1900, Mr. Shovlln came to llond and
with this as his headquarters spent
six months in tho timber with "Mike"
Kelley, an old Shovlln employee. This
was his first business exporleuco nnd,
nccordlng to n close friend. It created
In him nil Interest In this locality
which has always placed It foremost
in nils thought.
On his father's death In 1912 Mr.
Shovlln came Into nctlve mnungoment
of the estate's largo timber Interests.
Going Into business hard, ns he went
into a foot ball gamo and everything
elo ho undertook, he dominated "all
with whom ho came In contnet, nnd

ten to llotli Stiles Company's An-
.suit to Complaint Snys ,soch
tlitns Pinpoc to "llnl-e Hell."
(Special to The Uiillotln.)
SALKM, Doc. 28. The Public
Service Commission today announced
the date or hearing In the' complaint
or the C. O. I. Wnter Users' Associa
tion against tho Centrnl Oregon Ir
rigation Company. It will bo held
In Ilend, pommcucitig nt 11:30 a. in.,
on Monday, January 17.
The original complaint In this ac
tion was tiled with tho Commission
November 1.1. Its allegations, brief
ly, Include tho following.
That tho canals of the C. O. I.
Company aro liisulllcleut, to supply
wntor to all tho lauds nccordlng to
tho contracted amounts. . That tho
present llumo Is worn out and likely
to full nt any tlmo, with great loss
nnd hnrdship to settlers. That as
tho settlors are to take over tint pro
ject In 1917 tho Company ha, no In
tention to spend money In lip-keep
of ditches and llumo which others
soon nro lo Inherit. Thut much of
amounts collected In maintenance
fees, Instead or being put bark In
tho project, nro dissipated In high
salaries and unproductive overhead
expenses, That access to tho books
or tho Company Is rofimed settlors.
Tho coinplnlut winds up ,by asking
tho Commission to compel tho Com
pany to keep Its system In good shape
and to spend Its Income for mainte
nance feos for this purpose, o U"
ond that tho settlers In 1917 win
havo turned over to them a project
of value.
Would "llnlsc Hell."
On November 18 was flled the nn-
swer of tho Compnny, which Is writ
ten evidently with Intent to bo face
tious. It sets forth. In effect, that
the sol purpodh of tho nlor IMirt)
Assoelnlon Is to "raise Hell." At
least, It uses those words, "the osten
sible purposo and objector said plain
tiff ns exhibited by Its nets nnd ut
terances seems to be to rnlso Hint
particular brand of rllmnto whure
with It shall not be tempered or
qiiemihod by nil the wntlirs or tho
DiMK'hutiw river without their waste
or soepags."
The Compnny then denies most or
the allegations set forth by tho As
sociation, and further routnndi that
the Public Service CoiiiuiImIou bus
no authority to Interfere In tin prom
ises. Under this bond, It holds. In
erfect. thut the Compsny Is tho agent
of the state In conducting this Irri
gation enterprise, nnd Is subjuut onlr
Land Hoard, and to that only o far
as Its contracts with thu Stnto and
Nation make It liable
