That the Oregon legislature was

obstructionists In the Crater Lake
road case, la his brief on the appeal
to the Supreme Court.
"The fact is, the title of the act ls

Respondent's brief:
The legislative assembly of the
State of Oregon, at Its regular bien

months of January and February,

titled "An act appropriating 1100,000

to provide lor the appointment of a
commission to supervise the expendi
ture of such money and to superin
tend the construction of such road."
Session laws, 1909, p. 278-9.
The act shows that the money ap
propriated was to be expended in
two sums of 150,000 each, one sum

In a recent lecture before the Roy
al Institute, London, Prof. W. K.
Dalby showed that for long distances
traction at speeds under 65 miles per
hour steam Is much more economical
than electric drive. Electricity pos
sesses an advanUge for high speed
travel because the power Is limited
only by the number of axles to which
motors may be applied.

As to the Minidoka project, it Is
asserted that settlers have entered
on lands which comprise a large per
centage oi ine tract It was originally
intended to reclaim, but which are
under the proposed fourth and fifth
lifts, on the south side of the river
In Cassia county, Idaho. It Is now
declared that none of these Undo
will receive water for years to come.
Lack of funds, so It Is announced by
the rvdamstloa oncers, will prevent
the building of additional canals re
quired to Irrigate the higher lands
and the settlers will be forced to lose
their rights or hang on and scratch
for a living while neighbors but a
few miles away are growing wealthy.
For Irrigating tt.000 acres of Min
idoka lands under the gravity sys
tem proposed by the government, the
original estimate was 113 an acre.
Flfiy.three thousand addition acres
under a pumping system were to be
Irrigated at an estimated cost of
it.io per acre. Later It waa found
that ths cost under ths gravity sys
tem woum uoi oe leas tnan 22 an
