sity of Oregon medical student, was
arreted today and Is he-Id for " the
sheriff of Lane county on a charge of j
larceny. lie is charged with stealing
it valuable microscope and lens while
a student at the university in Kugene
last spring. He has signed a confes
sion, police state.
Cecil J. Peeree. student of the Uni
versity of Oregon medical school who
was arrested yesterday on theft
changes. Is to have a preliminary
hearing today.
Priu'llcally all the properly of the
university and of l.tickey's jewelry
store at Kugene which I'eerce was
suspected of taking was recovered,
police said.
Considerable difficulty was experi
enced yvstcrday In finding some one
to.vin it complaint, hut finally a uni
versity official signed Ihe. information
against Peeree.
S. I.K.M. ore.. 0t. 2S. The way
is now opt n for the city of l'.end
to avail itself of an act of the i:2"
legislature whciehy It will tako 11
second feet of water from Tumalo
creek for purposes of a municipal
water supply, according to an opinion
of Attorney (Jeneral Van Winkle,
written lo the desert land hoard. The
'opinion Is In reply to an inquiry hy
Mayor li. II. Ko of Head, hut since
the attorney m-neral is inhibited from
advising other than stale officials
ho has sent the opinion to thu desert
land hoard.
As a result of the legislative net It
is believed here in official circles
that litigation of considerable, magnl
tude is in prospect.
The session of l!t2I passed nil act
providing "that whenever the city of
l'.end shall have acquired
the right to appropriate or use from
the lesi luues river at least 11 cubic
feet pi-r second of water for delivery
iuio the feed canal blunging to Des
chutes crmniy municipal improve
ment district, which feed canal is
now supplied from tho Deschutes
river hi a diversion located In or
near -l'.end. then said city shall be
and hereby hi authorlwd to take
from tin- direct, flow of Tumalo creek
not in exceed 11 cubic feet
per second of water for the purpose
of providing a supply of water for
domestic and municipal purposes."
This act was vetoed by Oovernor
Pierce on the advice of State Kngi
neer Luper, on grounds that It would
rob the Tumalo district of water It
needs, but was passed over his veto.
The city of Itend las complied
with the terms of the act through a
contract .between the city ami tho
Title and Trust company of Port
land, for the sale m- assignment by
the coyipany to the till of tho right
to li second feet from the Deschutes
river at Demi, and this according to
tho , attorney general opens ihe way
for ihe city further lo avail itself
of 11 second feel from Tumalo creek.
Mention of this contract is made
in the letter of Mayor Kox to Attor
ney Ceneral Van Winkle and this is
the first official knowledge State
Kngineer l.upcr has had ihut such
a contract exists. The title and trust
company apparently is acting as
agent for the Xorth Canal company.
At the present time the Tumalo
district uses all of the water of Tu
malo creek for the ft.ooo acres now
under cultivation, and has an over
supply only by reason of a supple
menial diversion from the Deschutes
river at Pend. The t-ultivat!on of
15 000 acres more, however, is pos
sible and looked upon as the ulti
mate development and this. It is
said, will reuube all the, flow now
available both from Tumalo creek
and the Deschutes river ditch to tho
'Tumalo district. ' '
