When shown a copy of tho news dispatch above, President Fred S. Stanley this morning said that thorc was no question of tho -acceptance of the order by tho directors. "Tho com pany haa only three directors," said Mr. Stanley, "and one of theso has recently died and his position has not been tilled.

SETTLER TO PAY E WATER MEASURES NOT ' REQUIRED. Clinlrman Miller Further I'xplalnj Itecent Order of Public Hcrvlco Commission In Keanl to In stallation of Itegulutnr. SALEM, Jan. 12. (Special to The Bulletin.) Chairman Mlllor, ot the Public Service Commission, In fur ther explaining the recent order ot tho commission applying to tho Cen tral Oregon Irrigation Company, stated that tho Installation of meas uring dovlcca at tho lands ot the set tlers and at the expenso of settlors, is not mandatory upon tho settlera. The order operates, he states, to force tho company to Install such do vlco at the request of any settler, but tho expenso must be borno by suck settler. No settler need to havo such. measuring device Installed unless it la done at tho exercise ot his own personal option. "We discovered that considerable complaint had boon received from the Individual settlers that they have not been receiving their full sharo ot the water, although enough water might be received at glvon polnta for dis tribution among the lands ot the in dividual settlers. Apparently some havo been benefiting; at the expense of others, according to tho testimony developing, "To do away with these objection and to make tho distribution to the Individuals absolutely fair tho com mission Incorporated In Its order the provialon In regard to the Installation of lfceasarlng devices. "As has been pointed out before Mr. Stearns made objection to thn feature of tho order requiring the company to Install such devices, oa tho ground that under the contracts with the settlers, since Juno, 1907, it ia provided that all measuring de vices Installed shall be at the expense ot such settlers. Dut it has been determined that tho order can stand without amendment, by merely mak ing It apply so as to conform with the provisions of those contracts. The situation simply stands now that the sottlor may require such measuring device to be installed it ho wishes. He will have to bear tho expense, whloh I understand Is nominal! bat he Is not required to have such device Installed under tho order unless It serves his pleasure," said Mr. Mlllor. No word has beou received hero yet as to what action the Hoard ot Directors of tho C O. I. Company has taken'' In regard to accepting the order ot tho commission. HANER CLEARS UP MISUNDERSTANDING Persons Object of Hring Put In Class I, When They Offer Only Agri cultural Claim. (From Wednesday's Dally.) Much misapprehension has oc curred from the action of tho local draft board in placing In Class I thoso registrants who presented oaly an agricultural claim for exemption. In order to sot at rest such misun derstanding, J. II. ilauer, a member of tho board, calls attontlon to the following ruling laid down In Selec tive Service Regulation. "If the registrant has submitted no questionnaire or It nolthor the registrant nor any porson In respect of him has Claimed deterred classi fication or It tho only claim for de ferred classification Vy or in respect ot him has claimed doforred classl gagement In Industry or agriculture ho shall forthwith bo classified In Class I." Also another stating that "Tho dis trict board shall havo exclusive and original Jurisdiction to hear apd de termine all questions on claims for deferred classification by or In re spect of persons engaged In Indus tries, Including agriculture, found to bo nocossary to tho maintenance ot tho military estaullshmont or tho of- tectlvo operation of military form or tho malntonauco of national Interest W during tho emergency,"
