Further hearings will be con dueled at Salem from June 29 to July 28. It Is thehepe of the en gineering department to come to 3onie decision .on the question, by this summer. The move of te state engineering depJttnie.it was actuated by a Uns drawn out fight last year among Illy rniKhers, when scarcity of water in Spraguo river brought the ques tion cf water risau to a head. Sev eral ranchers of the valley guarded their water rlfhts by armed force, there were several arrests nindo and a number of cases filed in the Cir cuit court. Judge A. L. I.e.ivitt. when tho question of settling tho water rights came before him, declined to make any decision In the' matter, taking the position that it was the province of the stato engineering department or tlia stato lan.l board to deckle site'a problexs. , Some of the water rights extend back iu far as ISt'ft. so cilled riparian or priority rights. Other rights have the official stamp of the government.

( PRAGUE RIVER PUCKETTBUYS BURG'S ELECTION HELD TO BE ILLEGAL German Socialists Protest Allege Intimidation Was Employed IlKUUN, May 7.-OWcial pro test has been entered by the Soc ialist against the validity of tho oler.tion of Field .Marshal von Hin deuburg as president of Germany. Tile Socialists charge many Irregu larities and demand that the elec tion be declared "old. This action, however. Ioes not seem to worry the Nationalists, who say it will be difficult to prove that the circumstances were such to ef fect the result of the vite in which Von Hindenburg received a plural ity S02. 311. Fraud CIuiikinI Thn Socialist, paper VorwacrtB cites as evidence, either of intimida tion or fraud, the fact that the Na tionalists after tho election, pub lished a list of localities in which every vote was recorded for Von Hindenburg. It is inconceivable, the paper says, that in a country politically disunited, all the rotes in several localities should have gone for one man. The Socialists assert 'that the electors in numerous rural districts were coerced into voting for the FiId Marshal because transparent Instead of opaque envelopes were used , thus permitting the election officials to see which way the bal lots were cast.' , ; Ask Injunction The protest in a form of a plea for an injunction alleges that in-flenr- ls; being- exerted upon the election committee to plan, before May 22. for Von Hindenburg s. In auguration, as the commission Is thus not afforded sufficient time to canvass tho. returns. Agitation also continues over the issue whether the 'Republican flag shall be retained, or the old blue's,, white and red re-adopted.
