8WAMPSCOTT, Mas"., AUR. 4. (A.
p.) Voluntary consolidation of rail
roads in President Coolidge'a opinion
would' pave the way to a solution of
the transportation problem.
While he was refrained from com
mitting himself on the proposal,, the
president Is watching with Interest
the efforts of the yarisweringen In
terests to receive interstate com
merce commission approval of their
merger plan. He believes that set
tlement of the points at Issue Will
make it possible for other transpor
tation systems, now at sea as to
whether they can proceed with con
solidations to definitely proceed wltli
their programs. .
Mr. Cnolidgo, who In theXpast,
has advocated voluntary consolida
tion, wherever advisable, Is of the
opinion that in this way the-vexing'
rate problem can be Bolved. Trans-1
portatlon charges, he believes, could
then be fixed at a level which would

Judge Thomas Awards Judg
merits to Grow and Dorman
Families As Result of Im
pounding Water Demurrer
in Applegate Case Denied.
Judgments in one, nnd a motion de
nying a demurrer In nnother case,
have been handed down by Circuit
Judge Charles M. Thomas, in two irri
gation contests, long pending in the
courts of Jackson county.
In the suit of the Talent Irrigation
district W. R. Grow and wife, I). II.
Dorman and Nettle Dorman. his wife,
W. H. Grow, Annie Williams and mi
nor children and relatives, a decree for
judgment of t-lftOO wsa awarded, the
distribution of the Judgment being as

To Rachel Grow $1507.88; to W. R.
Grow $230.04; to Nettle Dorman. W.
H. Grow, Rimer Grow, Millie. Grow, N.
P, Grow, and Iydtu. Hopkins, the sum
of $-430. 64, each. , . ...
To Mury Ann Tlnnegar, James and,
R. P, Pinnegar, $115.92; and. to
Reames and Reames, attorneys,' $4fi6.
, The money for. the payment of the
Jutiment is in the bands of the county
clerk for distribution. ' .
The action, u suit for condemnation
of property grew out of the construc
tion of the Impounding pond of the
Talent Irrigation district, and suit was
star tod when neither side could agree
upon' the price, finally agreeing to
leave the adjudication to the court.
Klghteen acres of land, near Ash
land, is Involved in the transaction.
The other case- Is that of I0d Hmlth
n gainst Frank Cameron nnd others of
the Applegate. ' A similar action was
filed in 1920, and taken to the supreme
court. Hmlth In a recently filed plen
ashed for the right lo carry water for
Irrigation purposes, through the pri
vate ditch of the defendants, to pay
nil damages accruing, and to receive a
perpetual water right.
The defendants filed a demurrer, to
this complaint, setting forth five points
of law. The court in a ruling over
rules the demurrer, citing the supreme
court decision, In the former case, by
JUstice Harris, handed down In 1922.
In the supreme court decision, it Is
held that Smith "was seeking to con 1
demn prlvnte property for private
use," eontrnry to the state constitu
tion, but the court added the suggc - j
tlnn, that If prlvnte property was1
Isuiight for private Irrigation the rem- !
edy lies In a constitutional amend-1
ment, not In the courts. This decision
'wns adverse to flmlth. I
j The leglHlature, In 1924 pnssed a
constitutional amendment, providing j
Among other things that "the benefi-1
clnl use of water, over private lands
and prlvnte ditches, when beneficlnl to .
the welfare nnd development of the j
stnte," was permissible. The court hi
denying the demurrer, holds that the
law, covers Irrigation "clearly and suf
ficiently." , i
