Alleging that the ballot title prepared 'by Attorney Van Winkle for the pro posed referendum of the "bus bill" does not correctly state the contents of the bill." the county courts cf Marion and Lane counties today filed In the circuit court for Marlon county an appeal to that court from the Attorney General's title. The' 'most important allegation ln the ap peal Is that the ballot title as writ ten by the Attorney General men tions ."taxes" Imposed .'upon the buses, whereas, it Is claimed, the act makes no mention of taxes, . "Tho ballot title provided by the j attorney general" says - the com- plaint, "refers lo the charges impos ed for use of the highways as 'taxes', whereas In fact said act does nbt provide for the levy of any tax, but the chnrges imposed by the act are tolls or charges imposed by the state for the use of the highways." STOCK OUTLOOK T SALEM. Ore., April il. A sum mary of the livestock condition af ter the close of the winter months reveals the fact that Oregon live stock in the main wintered exceptionally-well, according to Dr. W. H. Lylle, state veterinarian, notwith standing the tact that many herds went into winter quurters with less tallow on their ribs than for many years. ' "During the winter months," says Lytic, "quite rigorous weather was encountered, but the cold spell last ed only for a brief period during which time there wsgi some lossiof inin animais. me losses were cuu- finej chiefly to horses on the pub lic domain and to thin cattle. "There was some loss experienced In ewe bands, particularly among the old ewe members of the flocks. This was In part due to the fact that some of the Oregon flocks have not been sold dow to the young breed ing animals 'us closely as In former years. During the liquidation per iod a considerable percentage of the j strictly range district flock masters were forced to sell their younger animals and In these districts there was perhaps a 7 per cent ewe loss. Tho animals were not valuable ex ceptlng for their ability to raise a lamb. r The health of the Oregon live stock was never better.

Jacob Says Controversy Will Not End Unless Definite Decision Made J. H. Carnahan ' ,; ' Makes Plea for Water Users j ' V, ,;' There will never be any peace on the Klamath irriga tion project until the power question is definitely settled and until a full, complete and honest - investigation ' is made into the sale of the power rights to the California, Oregon Power company. . ,1, X'V' This was the contention of L. L. Jacob, director of the district, and J. H. Carnahan, attorney for the district, at a final conference with Reclamation Elwood Mead at the court house this morning. : .. , . 't? A stenographic, report of the conference follows: - Mr. Jacob) The District would like a minute. I listened with much interest to Dr. Work's talk last night. From what he said I fear he has not gotten our point on the power situation. It is not primarily a matter of interfer ence with our water supply. Our main contention is that we owned power canals and sites. That the ownership of these properties carries with it a monopoly of power pro duction from Upper Klamath Lake. That we have been wrongfully deprived of these properties, without com pensation. We want this property back. Never mind ihe water. We want peace in Klamath, but no matter is -ever settled until it is settled right. There will never be peace in Klamath Project until this question is fairly decided on its merits. ' '' ':. Dr. Mead What I would like to have is just a defi nite statement regarding that power matter. What you want done. Now, here a former Secretary of the Interior and the district. Appar- . il . 1 1- -a- X- i;'w.Vi,t "..,.T T. fiRjy a legal cunuiici,. ivuw vviiat, giuuuu hub uic jjieocm administration. It cannot repudiate the contract. . The question has been raised in what you want done. Mr. Thomas Doctor, that would take quite a little time Dr. Mead What I would matter to be put into a definite form with all the facts. I know that takes time, but simply a state of dissatis faction with something already done is not enough ground to secure its undoing. ' Mr. Jacob We are ready to furnish that. . Mr. Thomas Now exactly what we want we will present to you in a very short time. ' " Mr. Carnahan I want to and without any interruption, as to what is involved in the power situation here. Now, the contract of February 24th, 1917, authorized the construction of a dam at the head of Link river, with a Jate the water level of Upper Klamath Lake, and at the end of fifty years the dam would revert to the govern- , ment and belong to the government. Now the gov ernment owned two canals, on either side of the canyon, in which canyon the river drops sixty feet. Thereafter, these two canals which gave the Calif omia, Oregon Power company a monopoly of the power facilities on the Klamath Project were sold in perpetuity. , The dis trict has possibly lost all its interest in the Ankeny and Keno canals by that sale, which was confirmed by decree of the circuit court by D. V. Kuykendall and if so, if there is any way one can remedy that situation arid retain that power privilege up there, it is through, the United States government. What good is that dam if the canals controlling the canyon are sold in perpetuity? The contract should be modified so that when that dam reverts to the government it will not be a useless thing. There 'was originally enough power resources on this project to practically pay for the entire project,' and Secretary Work blinds his eyes to the fact that this valuable resource, almost away for a mere mess of pottage. Why should he blind his eyes to the real situation and say it is "sounding brass and tinkling cymbals." That contract was the most flag rant and infamous fraud, I think, that whs ever per petrated. I refer to the sale of the two canals, made April 25th, 1923. The dam will revert to the government at the end of fifty years, but the only place where.it could generate power from the dam in Klamath canyon, in the meantime, has been sold in perpetuity by the rec lamation service to the California, Oregon Power com pany at probably less than five per cent of its true value.: It should be modified so as to leave the power privileges in such a way that when it reverts to the United States there will be something there belonging to the people;' . Dr. Mead I understand that is the situation as you see it. If it is as you say, then we want to know , the grounds on which action might be taken. If the sale was merely a blunder, you cannot correct it. If there as fraud, we want evidence to present. ;v' ' Mr. Carnahan We. will produce that.- . '. .'.: contract entered into by a my mind gentlemen,' of just answer as you want it, and . like to have done is for this make a statement if I may. provision that it should regu- unlimited in value, was given
