IK WA THREATENED CALIFORNIA Conditions at Los Angeles Aqueduct Are Critical, Unless Troops Are Sent, Bloodshed Seems. Certain Dynamiting of Aqueduct Is Feared. INDEPENDENCE, Inyo County. Cal.. Nov. 19. (By the Associated Press) Jeff Hession, district attor ney of Inyo county, announced here today that he was leaving Immedi ately for Hacramento to urge Gov ernor Richardson to send state, troops to the Alabama gates of the Los An geles aqueduct, where ranchers are wasting the Los Angeles city water supply. Sheriff Charles Collins of Inyo county also announced that he had sent a telegram to Attorney General U. S. Webb at Sna Francisco, urging him to attend the conference between the governor and Hession. Collins said that he already had asked the gov ernor threo times to order In the state troojrs. Friction lu'twocn two types of imsslvo resistance Uxlny threat ened, according to Inyo county authorities to snap the tens oil uf tho situation created by the aqueduct by ranchers and to plunge tills part of California Into civil war. Since the approximately 100 ranchers took over the Alabama gates of the aqueduct and diverted Los Angeles' chief source of water supply Into Owons lake, they have remained at the spillway quietly, un armed and waiting for armed force to be sent against them. But the city has refused to attempt forcible ejection of the raiders, and has con tented itself with peaceful court ac tion to recover .Its property. Accordingly the runchers are faced with the alternatives of either aban doning their attempt to force the city into a settlement of their long-standing water rights feud with it, or else continuing "on the Job" nt the spill way Indefinitely for engineers estl mate that Los Angeles still has about I three months supply of water on tan in Hb reservoirs.- Now, according to their spokesmen, the runchers are not in any mood to give Up their fight nor ore they in any mood to remain on the aqueduct for three months. They demand im mediate settlement of their dispute with the city and each day that this settlement is dolayed increases the (entity of the situation and the like lihood of a more serious flareuu of the feud. . VI am thoroughly convinced," . sitld District Attorney 'Hession ysterdny, -that unless state : troops intervene in Hie contro versy between Inyo county resi dents and the city of Los Ange les there will be amazing loss of lite and destruction of property." Bnorirr Collins said: "I am pow-J ui lertu. ii i attemnt to oust the ranchers it would mean ,,.. . ..! of life and the dynamiting of miles of the aqueduct.

Early action at the coming short session of congress on farm relief legislation appeared Improbable today In view of the announcement by farm bloc leaders that agricultural depression has been somewhat relieved and the decision of tho agricultural commis sion named by President Coolldge to investigate and recommend steps for stabilization of the industry, to recess, after today's session for three or four weeks. Representative Tincher, republican, Kansas, spokesman for the house farm bloc,-announced yesterday after a conference with Senator Curtis, re publican, of tho same state, that no effort would be made to press farm legislation at the Impending session before the president's commission re ports. In the opinion of farm bloc members, he explained, agriculture, especially in a large section of the west, has been given sufficient stimu lus to tide the farmer over fur the tnne beibg. Recognizing the immensity of their task, members of the administration agricultural commission have decided that any effort to formulate a pro gram to provide lasting prosperity for the farmer will ho time wasted until official statistics on all phases of the question could be prepared to guide them. Every agency of the govern. ont chmired with administration of f,u m regulation, the gathering, pro- ducing and marketing statistics, and (-mxiinrtntion. has been asKeu to compile the desired information for the commission ana it win re-assemble as soon as the data Is ready, while the work of the commission i n.nMMi hv Chairman Carey of Wyoming to carry Its activities past March 4 when the present congress expires, emergency problems are to be disposed of as quickly as possible, to ncrmlt legislative action, in accor dance with tho wishes of President Coolldge, without undue delay, vt un this purpose In mind, the cattle in dustry, described by the commission ers as being In a "depressed condi tion," Is to be given first considera tion.

ABANDONED ROSEBURG'S TURKEY lUORH SAVE TIMBER AND GROW IT SAYS PRES7 President Coolidge Declares U. S. A. Using Timber Faster Than It Grows Urges Tree Planting and Prevention of Waste Na tional Resources Are a Trust - j WASHINGTON, Nov. 1 9. Prosldont Coolidge today naked for a spt'clfio program of timber saving in opening tho national conference on utilization of forest products. The nations faces timber exhaus tion, the president warned, and tho situation must be met, he instated, by diminishing waste and Increasing the supply. The resources of the nation are a trust, Mr. Coolldge declared, subject to use by the present generation, ad ministered free of nnftiopolies and from "those who will unwisely permit them to be dissipated, but there must be restoration us welTas use. About 745,000.000,000 cubic feet of timber Is left In this country, he point ed out and against this supply there is an annual drain of 25.000,000.000 cubic feet while the annual timber growth is only 0.000.000,000 feet. In the face of this situation, ho declared, the nation must turn to tho problem of growing wood from the soil like any other crop. To bridge the fatal gap between cut and growth, however. Mr. Coolidge said, sufficient action had not been taken and tho country must consequently adjust Itself imme diately to a reducing per capita con sumption. The president saw "hope fnl signs" in federal legislation au en acted in the Clark-McNary bill passed at the last session-of c(on gross making provision for fire protection and res toration and In the Weeks law, au thorizing government purchase of nu merous forest tracts. These must be supported, he declared, by a policy which will, In the hands of private in dividuals and public officials tend to ward the advancement of this already well defined and securely adopted principle. ' ' . Wood Mutt Be Crown "So vast an enterprise as the forest using industries must not be allowed to decline for lack of raw material," the president continued. "We have aboundant soil to produce It. This conference ought to lay the founda tion for a far reaching forestry pro gram. "In the struggle for timber economy, fitness will be measured by good man agement and good technical processes. These qualities come from iy?search and from training and the forest In dustries, to reach a high lecl of skill must subscribe to both these tools of modern industrial practice. Hitherto, the diversity from the ceocranhlcal isolation, and the small average size' of our wood using Industries, coupled with abundance of row material, has kept them from advancing as rapidly In improved methods as some of our more highly conducted industries. But timber shortage will force competition in better methods. Much Is already known of better methods and the time Is already here whon this conducting can be profitably employed. Many companies have in fact made notable progress In waste reduction and are furnishing examples of what can be done by careful management and ex pert planning. It seems possible that the IndlvI4ual industries, by banding together, can overcome their handi caps of Isolation and collectively em ploy more experts to work out better processes. "It Is to consider joint efforts to ward better forest utilization that this conference has been summoned. It is a movement In which the state and national governments, the universi ties, the consumers and the technical experts should Join. Tho various gov ernment agencies equipped to help will, I know, be eager to do what they can to forward this understanding. Hpsotirrrei Arc Trust "We hold the resources of our coun try as a trust. They ought to be used for the benefit of the present genera tion, but they ought neither to be wasted nor destroyed. The genera tions to come also hove a vested Inter est In them. They ought to be admin istered for the biefit of the public. No monopoly should be permitted which would result in profiteering, nor on the other hand, should they be Indlscrlnffnately bestowed upon those who will unwisely permit them to be dissipated. These great natural re sources must be administered for the general welfare of all the people, both for the present and for the future. There must be both use and restora tion. The chief purpose of this con ference is to discover policies which will. In the hands of private indiv iduals and of public officers, tend to the rUrther advancement of this al ready well defined and securely adopt ed principle." Following the president's ftddretw, acting Secretary Gore welcomed1 the delegate and declared "the 9 effec tiveness of this conference lies in or ganized industrial effort.

PLAN 10 IS OEXEVA, Nov. 19. (Hy Associat ed Press.) A series of proposals striking at the very roots of tho evil caused by tho misuso of narcotic drugs was presented to tho interna tional opium conference here today by the American delegation, headed bhy Representative Stephen C. Por ter. Only by the most drastic restric tion at the point of production, the Americans held, could the quantity of illicit drugs reaching tho people of tho world be shut off or curtailed. Consequently, they proposed preven tion of a surplus production of raw opium and also of the coca leaf froii which cocaine Is extracted. Further more they would absolutely prohibit the distribution of heroin, a deriva tive, as unnecessary in medical or scientific practice. Uesides the inhibitions on the pro duction of narcotic raw material, var i lous propos ilH were advanced for its hundlinr, ' I. .ommer. o y. her,e neces sary. Provision was made for the pro duction for exportation, or the actual exportation of raw opium for', tho purpose of taking prepared opium Into those territories where its uso Is now permitted, but tho contracting parties were asked to limit the num ber of towns and ports thru which such raw opium und cocoa leaves were exported. An extensive nnd strict system of licenses for importation and exporta tion was suggested. It was recom mended that imports of raw opium for tho purpose of making prepared opium which Is generally used for smoking, be curtailed in those coun tries where such use now is permit ted, tho amount Imported being re duced ten per cent cuch year until all importations ceased. It was also suggested that the con tracting parties take up the gradual suppression of the manufacture of, internal trado In, and the use of pre pared opium. Under tho program as outlined, tho manufacture, salo, and use of mor phhlne, cocaine and their respective salts or derivatives, will bo effectively limited and regulated exclusively to medical and scientific purposes, and tho members requested co-oporatlon among the nations to that end. A system of license also was sug gested for this trade, with the keop ing of books and records to assure proper checks. It was proposed that the contracting parties enact laws making It a penal offense to bo In illegal possession of any of the sub stances to which the convention ap plied. A central board was recommended to which tho contracting parties would each year furnish estimates of their requirements for all purposes, tho signatory countries undertaking to prohibit Importation in excess of tho quantities necessary. In regard to raw opium, the pro duction, distribution, Importation and exportation of which the convention binds tho adhering powers to control, the attitude of tho United Htates, Representative Porter said, is that a dangerous drug and that its use for other than strictly medical or Bcien tlflo purposes Is unlawful. Tho United Htates feels, he con tinued, that unrestricted production of raw opium or other such drugs ln evvltably results In a- surplus above that required for medlcul and scien tific uses, and that the diversion of it or its derivatives, morphine, heroin, and cocaine Into Illicit channels of International traffic creates a prob lem of universal International con cern.
