ATORNEY GENEERAL WINS OUT Advices were received today by Attorney-General Crawford, that the fed eral court at Portland had granted his motion to remand to the board of con trol proceeding Initiated to adjudi cate the water rights of the Sllvies river, and tho victory Is regarded as a signal one. The proceedings were moved to the federal court upon the application of the Paclflo Livestock company, which alleged that It was entitled to have Its right' adjudicated by the federal court on the ground that It is a foreign cor poration. The state made a motion to have them remande'' alleging that there were 200 other water users In volved and that the company because it Is a foreign corporation could not drag them into the federal court, and also alleging that the board of control Is an administrative body and not a judicial one. Which one of the con tentions the court upheld Is not known. Should the case have been decided In favor of the company, then It would have practically set at naught the board of control, for It would have made it possible for every foreign cor poration when It .was sought 'to adju dicate the water right on the stream to take the proceedings into the feder al courts and delay them from time to time by appealing.
