JnflHjp From
Stearns Statement
Unnllltnguei to Sign Con
f" tract With Settlers on District.
Bitter criticism of thb report by
.Stnto Englueor Percy A. Cupper on
hio relations between tho Central
Oregon Irrigation Co. nml the C. O. I.
.district and on tho propoaod con
tract between tho I.ono Vino district
and tho company. Is contained in a
letter written by Jcsso Stearns, sec
rotary of tho C. 0. I. company, to
,tho' Desert Land board. Tho totter Is
In rofiy"ld ono sont out to both iho
Xcompahy and tho C. O. I. settlers, rcj-
ritlvo ' to tho negotiation
of n Bottlentont. and the
settlers' side of tho question Is Rot
forth In a communication from II.
II. Do Armond of Do Armond Era-
tklne, legal advisors for tho C, O. I.
district. Copies of 'ho correspond
ence wore received this morning
from Salom. y
"1 havo not taken this matter up
', with tho- directors as yot. but will In
a fow days," DcArmond writes. "I am
aafe In saying however, that I bellevo
it will bo necessary to havo negotia
tions based upon a complete elimin
ation of tho company from tho Ccn
, .traJQrcgon project.
, "Tho Peltiers took tho view that
the lust contract provided a sort of
, partnership affair with, tho company
controlling tho distribution cs to tho
(system. Thq settlers aro not nversc
10 pajinfi mo conumuj wsuuuui .u.
getting out. provided they aro on-
tlrcly eliminated from tho system
.However, they would want to get
them out as choaply as possible."
Critirires Hoard. .
Mr. Stearns lettor to tho Desert
Land -Hoard, is as follows:
"i .received a letter under dn( of
tho 10th. lust, from Mr. McAllister.
'vnsslsunt secretaJ of tho board, re
( .questing my views on tho subject of
reopening negotiations with the Cen
tral Oregon Irrigation District for
tho purchase of certain property by
the Central Oregon Irrigation Com
pany. "At tho risk of betas ''UoJ for libel
, '(though truth can always bo pleaded
as aAlofetisoY I must say I think your
Jloard belongs to the WlMon admin
istration In its desire to write net;?
nnaconluulng negotiation ufW the
Lnsitanln has been sunk and Mexico
hns continuously and flogi'untly in
sulted us. m
Kcuh'al or Settler Recalled.
'Permit mo to remind you of cer
tain facts which havq long been vlth
"i the, knowledge of your Uoard. The
settlers in the Central Oregon Din
.trict signified their refusal to ac
cept stock In tho Water Users' Cor
poration as provided fpr, in tho con
tract of Juno 17. 1907,,,'uut Instead.
' at the solicitation of- (ho attorneys
4 'and " directors of tho District, tho
contract of December 13, 1018, wai
executed, after eeks of negotiations
and. discussion, and on (ho date of
its execution tho attorneys and di
rect ors tfuthe District assured tho
cpfhpany that an election would be
'' .immediately, called to vote tho bonds
necessary- to carry out tho contract
' nwl that tho arrangement sot forth
;thercfn would bo consummated by
.Aprlllj, 1010. No oloptlon was call
.odMiy tho directors of tho District
until Novombcr 25,jpi9, and while
the clectipn was' bcJng ndvortlsed
.every vo(qr in the district was ad
jTlbed by circulars aorjt through tho
maj and by articles, lit every news
paper 'published In Heschutco county
.of the arguments for and against tho
f purchase of water for 4, COO addition
al axres and tho other property mon
.tloned in such contract. After such
advices and after consideration 0f
the contract provisions for nearly a
Tear, at' tho .election .tho vote, was
'about ten to ono against voting tho
"bonds necoasary for tho purchase
-You nmy also recall that your Hoard
;gave tho owners of the contracts
which included 'o go called excess
xictw, "by prde.- of tfie ,Board, addl
'tio'nal timo to purchase water for
such excess before allpwlng tho com
pany to sell tho water, and after
theso setters had ldd notico, which
tboy dsrogarded, yu gjivo them
further UnlQ and still they would not
purchaw?, aa your records will show.
Negotiations for water by owners of.
tho tawl1 In the J'pnq Pino District
'ana (be $ewp'ny lliaU been pending
for Boma 'months before tho election
a,, rfprwd to skj It was i)ot un
tH,th,q. p, JL BMtM had by an
o'SfrJbjsyMjyijty 'refused to
swv i-rsr
December 13,, 1018, and to tako over
control. of ,tho Irrigation system, that
n contract was entered Into by tho
Company and the Lone Pino District.
In fact the contract Availed upon the.
result of tho election, and the com
pany and the Lone l'lno District have
since been proceeding In good fnlth
In order to supply water for tho com
ing' sunson to 1,000 acres of land
which Is more fertile Own any equal
area within the segregation lists G
and 19.
"At tho hearing before your bonrd
on 'the question of approval of the
Lono Pino xontrnct. Mr. Wlgmore,
oho of the spokesmen for the C. O. I.
District, said that he did not want
to buy more wnter for his land al
though l.S aero feet was not enough,
and so far as I know only Mr. Etklns
and Mr. roster havo signified a tie-
Riro or wllllngnoas to buy mote water
land Mr. KlklnS. who was a candidate
for director of the C. O. I. District
was defeated at the recent election.
"Now, In face of these, facts, after
six weeks of consideration, the Statu
Engineer recommends that water be
Lfurnhhod to tho LoniMPlue District
unlaw tho 0. O. I. District shall pur
chase tho Company's Interest within
nlifety days, and you have adopted
this recommendation by order of tho
board.
"My tew of this recommendation
and ordor. Is, that you havo arbitrar
ily and uselessly deferred for nlno
ty days the performance of n plain
agreement and contractual duty
you "liavo permitted clamor to stifle
conclence. In the words of Patrick
Henry 'Gentlemen cry peace, peace,
but there Is no poace.'V It remind,
mo of Cicero's oration against Cati
line: 'Quo usque et audem abntore.
Catallnn. pationtla nostra?' (How
much longer will you continuo to
cbuho our patience, oh Cntalluo?)
"Your order was unjust to tho
company Jjy deferring a salo which
It was your'plnln duty to have np-
prorca uuuer clause ', or tne con
tract of Juno 17. 1307. Ton havo

season of 1020 and thereby hao re
tardad production and development
of that section for at luast a year,
and you havo probably displeased
and offended tho C. O. 1 District
by telling tho settlers that they ought
to buy something that they liavo said
they do not want to buy and will not
buy, and my views aro that you
should forthwith cancel tho clause in
the, ordor giving ninety days to tho
C. O. I. District and Immediately ap
prove tho contract with tho Lone
Pino District, tho form of which has
been agreed upon by tho Stato
Engineer and myself. So far as I am
Personally concerned. I would not
sign another contract with the C. O.
I. District or enter Into any now
agreement with that district unless
a majority oi tho voters had first
agned a binding legal agreement to
carry it through. In tho words of
tho poet. 'To alter is disloyalty
and hesitation sin.' "

"llo(oo I took Tanlac not n week

by Mrs. K. It. Foray tho of 13 West

"I'm a welt and happy woman now,
nnd I'm glad I can glvu you this testi

most wonderful thing lu tho world.
I've gained four Icon pounds and I

"I had an ncld stomach, and suffer
ed with sour gas nt times so bad
that I thought I would sulTocate.
Sick headaches would como on mo
and I would havo such nwtul flutter
ing about my heart I would almost
falut. My nurvcfl went to pieces, and
I became So terribly nonoun that
oven tho ring of the door bell would

I lled on a strict diet 'of ricu and

time I tried all kinds of troutmunta
but none gave mo a parllclo of ro

I was Itl such a bad .condition I had
to stay in bed most of tho time. Ho
my husband and I decided to glvo up

look after it. lly this tltno I was
down to nlnoiy-clght pounds In
weight nnd was almost a complete
nervous and physlclal wreck.
"I hated to glvu up my homo nnd
on tho advlso of a friend who had
used Tanlac I decided to try It first.
With tho first bottle I began to Im
prove, nnd I hadn't llnished my sec

of ten years standing have entirely

Nothing ever disturbs my nerves now
for they were never bolter, and I
