HA I. KM, Jan. 13. (Special to The
lliilletln.) JuclKiliK from th: out
look In tho IcKlxlaturc, tho "bono-
dry1' bill will bo tnndo effnctlve by

liii-KH Willi Ciillfomla early In Feb

There are two schools of prohibi
tionists lobbyliiK here for their pur
tlculur kind of dryness. The ultrus
wuut lo muko It unlawful to have

ara thn pruetteal prohibitionists, no
futiutliul brothers, but who under
stand that a law will only be effec
tive If It Is workablu.-
Keurch ItlKlit Inxur.
Tho rock upon which the policies
of tho two K roups split Is that of
search and solium. The ultra drys
want to fashion the ntiw law in such
a way that It will bn unlawful to have
any Intoxicants In one's possession,
Irrespective of whether they were
lccally obtained prior to the new
law's enactment. They also would
xlve authority for search In rase of
suspicion, und seizure of all liijuor
found.
Tho Kitner friends of prohibition
and they appear to command the ma
Jorlty of. the IcRlslntlvo members
real lie thut If any such drastic pro
vision la forced Into the new measure.
It will be refi'rended. That would
mean It would ho held up for two
years, until the next election, with
thu present law In operation In the
mean time.
l'KlxInturt! Favors lavr.
Taken all In all, the probable out
come will be a strict absolute prohi
bition law, without any search and
sclxure clause, allowing citizens to
keep and use tho liquor they already
possess, but forbidding any further
Importations whatever. Very prob
ably such a law will have little trou
blo in gettliiK by thu legislature, and
tho governor, it Is well known, stands
ready to sign it Immediately.
Also, It Is practically certain that
tha now prohibition law, if modeled
upon practical lines, acceptable to
the best prohibitionists, would curry
an emergency clause. This would
place it In effect immediately upon
signature by the governor and would
remove possibility of a referendum.
JockejIiiK May Delay.
While It Is possible there may be
some jockeying to hold up tho law,
and perhups a few legislators who
really want no prohibition at all may
hold out for the search und seizure
clause, in an effort to get the whole
thing refcrcmlod, it Is now as certain
as such things run bo that this legis
lature means business and will see
to it that the expressed will of the
people is put Into operation promptly.

WHOLE COMPLAINT IS

Mifflficnt Facts Alleged.
What may prove a vital step In the
fight of Deschutes county against the
(iio warranto proceedings question
ing its Identity as a municipal cor
poration, was taken today when Dis
trict Attorney H. H. DnArmond, and
Vernon A. Forbes, counsel for the
county court .Introduced In circuit
court ut Prinevllle. a demurrer to the
ejitlrc complaint. Mr Forbes made
a special trip to Hend from Salem,
where be Is sitting in thn lower house
of the legislature, for the sole pur
pose of being able to represent the
county's Interests In Prinevllle today.
No .lurlMlicllon, UuhIn.
The demurrer hd e? Its chief bas
ts the argument that the complaint
filed by anti-dlvlslonlsts in old Crook
has not been filed in a court having
jurisdiction In the matter, the inti
mation being that only a higher court
could huve jurisdiction In the case.
As a secondary argument it was set
forth that insufficient facts are al
leged to constitute cause for action.
A third point wob to have been that
causes of action are improperly join
ed, but the ruling of Judge Duffy,
handed down yesterday, sustaining
the motion to strike out a portion of
the original complaint, made this
unnecessary.
Hurl)1 Opinion Kxpccted.
The Deschutes county attorneys
planned to argue the demurrer today
In Judge Duffy's court, asking that
the suit be dismissed. An opinion,
it is thought, may be handed down
by the court, the latter part of next
week.

DISTRICT LAW
AT MEETING OF WATER USERS
Claude McColloch Shows Possibility of Collective Financ
ing When Settlers on C. 0. 1. Segregation
Assume Control in June.
Nearly 150 members of the Cen
tral Oregon Irrigation Company Wa
ter Users Association, with others In
terested, gathered this afternoon in
Bather's hall to hear Claude McCol
loch, of Portland, explain the possi
bilities of the irrigation district law
as applied to the Central Oregon seg
regation. KIghty-two Invaded Hend
this morning In a special train, 52
coming from Itedmond and the re
mainder from Terrebonne.
Mr. McColloch's address was de
voted chiefly to a contrast between
the district system and the associa
tion plan now In use. "In June of
the present year the control of the
segregation will pass from the com
pany to the settlers and the com
pany," he said. "This will necessi
tate a decision on your part whether
or not the district plan will best
serve your needs."
K j stem in Bad Shape.
"Many are deceived by the name
'irrigation district.' It Is merely a
method of procedure. There have
been as Many failures under this
as under the Carey act plan. The
question is, will the district plan meet
your case?
"You will assume the responsibil
ity in June. You will no longer be
able to criticize without criticizing
yourselves. Can you run things bet
ter than the C. O. I? The system
is In bad shape now, and big improve
ments will be needed; and needed
soon. I have asked whether three
districts should not be formed, one
for each of the units of the project.
This does not effect our discussion,
but personally I am of the opinion
that three would be worse than one."
Repairs Needed.
Mr. McColloch outlined the local
situation, showing the advantages of
the district plan, and mentioning

query.
"In attempting to borrow money,
all you can give Is your personal
notes and those are valueless unless
the loan Is floated locally. This
would be extremely difficult. Mort
gages on the land are also an ob
stacle. You can't handle the prob
lem as a water users' association,
but as a district, you will have the
opportunity for organized collective

years of labor are at stake. You
must erase the past, and look to the

"Possibilities for the future are

Mr. McColloch was present this

Following his address, Mr. McCol

Discussion of the relative merits of
the association and the district plan

to the state constitution. He said,
"I do not expect to use the ltom veto.

opinion that the governor now has
power to veto single Items In bills, :
