James Bottger, the young man in
jured while diving in the Umatilla
river Tuesday of last week, died at
the Pendleton hospital the follow
ing Thursday morning. The doctors
report that his neck was broken and
skull fractured.
The funeral was held from the
Methodist church at Echo Sunday
afternoon and was well attended by
the many friends of the family.
James Bottger was 26 years old
and had lived in this community
for some time, coming here from
Echo. He has many friends who
were shocked to learn of his sudden
death. He leaves a father and sev
eral brothers to mourn his loss.
S. Norton Bobo, formerly editor
of the Stanfield Standard and who
will be remembered by many in this
city, has been awarded the French

BN TBE TEEL PROJECT
Actual construction work on the
Teel Irrigation project is now under
way. Last week W. B. Hinkle, with
a party of ten, left to establish camp
in the vicinity of Albee. While the
work will make very little showing
at the start, the fact that an outfit
is on the ground and will hurry con-
struction as fast as possible is very
encouraging to those who have been
interested in the project the past
several years. Mr. Hinkle is chief
engineer for the Teel project and
this fact assures those who are back
of the work that canal and tunnel
construction will be well taken care
of.

At the outbreak oT hostilities Mr.
Bobo tried for service under Uncle
Sam, but was turned down. Not In
the least dismayed, he next turned
to the Red Cross and was there more
successful.
Bobo went overseas a
year ago and has not yet returned.
Most of this time was spent on the
British fighting front and it was in
appreciation of service in that sec
tion that he received the coveted
French decoration.
WESTERN LAND & IRRIGA
TION CO. DEFENDANT IN SUIT STATE BOARD REGENTS
Through a complaint filed in the
circuit court Friday of last week
the Western Land and Irigation Co.
is made defendant in a suit to col-
lect the sum of $30,374 alleged to
be due the Bank of Echo, serving as
trustee for various creditors.
It is privately explained that the
action to collect for the construc-
tion of a dam to protect the head
gates of the company's ditch when
it was endangered in 1911. Among
those listed as creditors are W. H.

Empire Lumber Co., B. F. Culp,and
West Umatilla Water Users Associa-
(ion,and J. T. Hinkle, The claims
aggregated $21,64486, , and were
pooled with the IBank of Echo as
trustee.
In the complaint it is set forili
that the company has paid the in-
terest only up to May, 1914, and has
paid off none of the principal. It is
also alleged that the company has
been trying to operate its property
so as to render valueless the securi
ties held by the plaintiffs.
The total value of property held
by the defendants is listed at $750,-
000. It is set forth that In 1909 a
deed of trust was given by the com
pany to the Central Trust and Safe
Deposit Co. of Canada to Philip
Hinkle of Cincinnati, Ohio, to se
cure the payment of $175,000 to
holders.
The complaint asks that the de
fendants be required to marshall
their assets and that various steps
be taken for repayment of the debt
to the plaintiffs, including the pay-
ment of
$8730
in interest and
$2500 attorney’s fees.
The suit was filed by Raley,
