SALEM, Or., Jan. 11. (Special to Tho Hulletln.) Tho Paisley Irriga tion Project has thrown up tho npongu. Tho Portland Irrigation Company, backers of tho enterprise, linn Informed the Desert I.und Hoard It would not appeal tho recent cir cuit court decision of Judge Daly, of Lakeyluw, In which tho Chuwaurnn Cattle Company won Its claims for water, nt tho oxponso of tho Irrlga tlonlstH liituresta. This means that tho segregation of 12,037 ihtoh near Pulsley will bo abandoned, unless the state Itself takes appeal before January 20, which Is considered very unlikely. It further tncnim Hint llio Cattle Com pany has successfully stifled for some time to come, efforts for I.aku county Irrigation, through utilization of the waters of tho Chewaucan liver. The action of the Irrigation conl pany, which Is reully tho Northwest Townslto Company, Is a notification, through Us attorney, C. 10. H. Wood, that It will not appeal thn eano. It will nsk that Its bonds, In connection with further Irrigation of tho segre gation, be released. It Is said that a factor In the un willingness of tho Irrigation company to appeal the case Is tho heavy cost Involved. Tho enso mounted to such proportions Hint tho cost of n trail script, needed In nil appeal to the mipromo court, would he $1800, It Is wild. Faced with this hlg Initial ex pense, and discouraged by tho poor rlgatlon project and apparently also sufllclent for tho cattle company's lands. Tho board's basis of division was two ncro feet per aero for tho project's Irrigated lands and two aero feet for the cattle company's marsh lands, and three aero feet for Its uplands. Case Had Political Recoil.' Thon tho cattlo company appealed from tho board's decision to tho cir cuit court, mid Judge Daly set It asldo and adjudged approximately four and a half acre feet, por Irriga ble aero, to tho cattlo company. This, In effect, gnvo all tho available water to the cattle company, and practical ly put tho Irrigation project out of business. Ah many settlors wcro financially Interested In tho Irrigation project, and Its upbuilding Hcemlngly prom ised much development for the coun try nnd opportunity for small land holders, tho victory of tho cattle company was not overly popular In Lake county, It Is understood. Those familiar with the facts, declare that this episode had much to do with tho defeat of Ilcrnnrd Daly and Lair Thompson for re-election as circuit Judgu and stuto seuntor. IINtoiy of Project. First application for tho segrega tion of ll!,o:i7-(K're.s was made to tho stato by tho Portland Irrigation Com pany on February 27, 1007. In 1011 another contract was entered Into, and a bond of JRO.OOO was put up to Insure performance of thu contract's provisions. In 1012 tho Portland Irrigation Company's Intorcsts be came practically merged with those of tho Northwest Townslto Company, backed by Philadelphia capitalists. Again In January, 1910, extension of time wns granted until September 11, 1017. Tho Btnto Water Hoard's decrco covering water rights in tho Chc-d wnucau river wns transmitted to tho circuit court January 21, 101C. Tho direct payment to tho party doing tho work involved or furnishing the ar ticles purchased. In tho past, tho Crook county court has apportioned funds among Its membors. A certain amount was de posited to tho credit of each com missioner, who paid thoso doing work under his direction. With tho pass ago of tho proposed bill, this mothod will ho Btoppcd, and the entire court only can mako payments. When asked if ho would present any bill for tho reduction of salaries in Crook county, based upon tha fact that tho county Is smaller and its work less, Mr. Forbes said ho would do ho only upon tho request of his constituents. , "Wlillo I bollovo such legislation Is warranted, under tho circumstanc es I do not feel like nssumlng re sponsibility for it nlono," said Mr. Forbes, "If tax payors of Crook county want such a change, I'll do my best to effect It, but ponding somo expression In tho premises, the mat ter will rost." FUND IS NEARLY ALL RAISED. Local Catholics nnd Non-Catholics Subscribe Liberally in Cash for 1'urcbaso of Site for the New Institution.

Ily K, Thordui-Miii, (Superintendent Bond Schools.) SK years, tho mnglc ago of child hood. Tho baby becomes a pupil. Ho takes tho fltst step nwny from the home, tho first step toward his In dependent enreer. It Is n erltlcnl time, nnd somo mistakes are mnde. Too often tho six-year-old Is only four or five years old mentally. Then again, ho limy bo seven or eight. Much depends upon his ancestry and environment. Tho trained primary teacher can generally determine his mental ngo In two weeks. If he Is not up to tho standard of the grade. ho should remain at homo another! year. After observing more than n thous and pupils, It Is my opinion that only one-fourth of the children should filter the first grado at the ago of six. The others should begin nt seven. As a parent, I would novor let ray child begin school In the middle of tho school year. Tho mid-year class es work uuder disadvantages. They do not get sufficient start In tho 90 days boforo vacation. For sign painting sea Edwards. A dr. Engineer Laurgaard Sajs $lj!5,000 Wan Spent at Paisley, Exclusive of Realty IuveMiiients. (From Friday's Dally Bullotln) SALEM, Or., Jan. 11. (Special to Tho Bullotln.) Approximately 150 Bottlers will bo effected by tho with drawal of tho Northwest Townslto Company from tho Paisley Irrigation field, says O. Laurgaard, who has been consulting engineer ror tho com pany, and Is now a member of tho legislature According to Mr. Lnugaard, about $S5,000 has been paid In by settlors, all of which has been spent upon tho project. For their monoy tho set tlors received stock In the company, which Is oxchangeablo for lands in the completed projoct. There la on deposit with tho Security Savings & Trust Company, In Portland, $15,000, subject to return to tho settlers. Without doubt, this much will go buck to tho settlors. Whether tho $50,000 bond up with the stnto for tho completion of tho project will bo utilized to relievo tho settlers, remains to bo seen. Even If all of It should bo so utilized, thoro would remain n net loss to settlors of ubout $20,000. And It Is consid ered doubtful if tho state will be able to compel tho utilization of tho bond for such n purpose Mr. I.nurganrd says that In addi tion to tho IS5.000 of settles' monoy used ou the project, tha company has spent some $50,000 of Its own funds. It addition, It has Invested approxi mately $65,000 In local property, In eluding the Conn ranch, store and mill, near Paisley. "Tho men behind the Northwest Townslto Company are responsible and trustworthy," said Mr. Laur gaard. "I believe everything posslblo will be done to savo the settlers from loss. It Is not the company's fault that, tho project has had to bo aban doned. I believe It Is a good project, worthy of development. Also, I be lieve that when the waters of the Chewaucan river are put to benefi cial use enough will be found for all lauds requiring them, and for this Irrigation project aa well."
