LAND SEULEMENT IS EXPLAINED
W. G. Ide, manager of tbe Oregon
State Cliaxulier of Commerce and di
rector of land settlement work for the
Portland Chamber of Commerce, Tues
day gave the members of the lqcal
chamber, assembled at their weekly
luncheon forum a comprehensive idea
of the magnitude of the work of Ids
department the past three years.
land settlement in Oregon, Mr. Ide
cited, has been placed on a practical
liasis. No longer are settlers lured to
the common wealth by lurid stories of
profits, such as characterised the l>oom
days of 11)10.
,
Because of the experiences of those
days, Mr. Ide said, many have a uiia-
conception of the land settlement de
partment today. He stated that it
was not the alm today merely to get
farmers on tbe laud, but that the task
covers a broader. scope. Tbe former
system was one of exploitation, and
as a result many inexperienced folk
were placed on Oregon land and left.to
face disaster. Many of them left pen
niless and embittered.
“Today,” he said, “we try to avoid
all of this. I have written hundreds
of letters to enquirers, advising them
not to come to Oregon. It Is not In
frequent that we have a letter from
someone in eastern and middle western
cities, someone who has saved up
»1,000 or »1,300 and who wants to
come out and invest it in an On-gon
poultry ranch or orchard. Invariably
I advise such an one to remain in the
salaried position until a larger sum in
accumulated; that an ' inexperienced
person cannot go far toward a success
ful venture on so small a sum.
“We have accomplished much by
working through local chambers of
commerce, securing a list of available
property* It is our aim to get settlers
on new land. There is no object in ex-
changing farmers. We like to have
them come in and take up property of
non-resident owners or purchase sub
divisions of large places, then’be an
exact to tbe state.
“In each community we have an ap-
piralsal committee of nine representa
tive cltlsms, who give us an accurate
and correct valuation of lands listed.
Then, when a prospective settler aomes
to us, while we tell him that it Is im
possible for us to guarantee that he
will l>e satisfied in his new environ
ment, we can guarantee that he will
not get stung.
. “We?ftMr the
criticism that
that bis nerves are good enough to
stand all the punching that Doc wants
to give them and that he has won a
fow matches himself with the head
lock. so it will bo up to Doe to watch
his step.
On paper this match looks to be a
winner for the fans and with the
splendid new equipment, the ring,
mats, and lighting at the Rialto
wrestling fans are assured of having
everything put on in tbe same high
class way as In any of the big cities.
“Curly Cloe," recently of Yakima,
176 pounds, will meet Ellis Woodiord,
of Hood River, 180 pounds, in a 30-
udnute match or one fall to a decision.
At the time this match was made Cloe
stated in the presence of ths match
maker and Woodford that he intended
to win this match as he wanted to be
kept on the cards hereafter, as he was
desirous of paying for a saxophone out
■of his wrestling money. Woodford
piped up and said, “Big boy, If you
figure on blowing any horns on money
you make out of throwing me save
your broath till we get on the mat—
you’ll sure need it-” The winner of
this match will bo matched with one
of two local lione crushers who are
desirous of getting on tbe Rialto cards.
T1>e ladies in attendance at tbe last
match are by this time rabid wrestling
fans and tbv policy on this Colluian
and Alley match will be to admit all
ladles free. This promises to be u real
match and a good crowd is expected to
imll for the local boy. All ladies will

from 23 cents for kids, 75 cents for
balcony, 11.10 for lower floor and loges
to »1.65 for ringside. The first preiim-
iuary will start at 8.15 sharp. Jack
Routledge will referee and it is hoped
that Tom Ray, the man of 1,000 holds,
will be on'hand to be introduced from
the ringside. Ray has been after Alley
for quite some time and if It can be
arranged will be given a match with
him in the near future. Remember
that all ladies will be admitted free to
thia'match.

After having been (>be the court»
of Oregon for 12 yeaiL>jtlgntion over
the water rlghta in
Hood River
water shed were Uua.
dlapoeed of
Tuesday before the U X d State« ra-
preme court, when that body dlemUned
au appeal taken by the Pacific Power
A Light Co. from a decision rendered
by the Oregon supreme court.
Find news of the action of the na
tion*» highest tribunal waa received
yesterday when Jurnea H. Haalett, as
sociate of Oapt. Geo. R. Wilbur, attor
ney for the Irrigation interest« of the
valley, received a telegram from Oapt.
Wilbur, who announced that the
Uuited States supreme court had dis
missed the appeal l>efore bearing had
lieen ended on the grounds that the
national court had no jurisdiction In
the matter. Tbe application of water
rights, it was thus held, at least by
implication, la a matter for purely
state administration.
The litigation was started in 1914
when the Oregon Lumber Co., utilising
waters of the East Fork of Hood river,
nought to restrain the East Fork irri
gation district from use of water«. The
ease was won In circuit court here, but
on appeal to the suprmne court it waa
remanded, tba high state court an
nouncing that further similar litiga
tion seemed imminent. Tbe state water
board was instructed to make a survey
of the entire Hood River watershed
and adjudicate all water right*
Again the circuit feourt, with Judge
Fred W. Wilson on the bench, gave
confirmation to the state water board’s
findings and conclusions In main points,
and the power company again appealed
to the supreme court, which affirmed
the lower court decision. The appeal
to the United States supreme court
waa taken on the ground thnt the
power company had a right to the
waters of Hood river because of rights
incident to riparian ownership.-
The case involving all irrigation or
ganisations of ths valley and the huge
power interests, touchsd nearly the
entire assessed valuation of the coun
ty. No litigation has ever created such
great local interest. It waa the first
time any local ease had over been
appealed to the United Btatne eupreme
court.
TIS,
News of th« final dteaaftten of ths
case favorable to the fruit growing
interests created widespread jubilation
among orchardlsCB.

favoring tbe repeal of tlie clause in the
