Columbia Southern Irrigation
Project Has Now Passed
Both House and Senate.
$450,000 APPROPRIATION,
One of Mont Important Pieces of Le
glHluUon for Development of
Oregon Crook Co. Heneflts.
As a culmination of a steady and
consistent fight that has been car
ried on since the opening of the le
gislature 40 days ago, the senate, at
noon today, passed the Columbia
Southern irrigation project bill, ear
ring with It an appropriation of
9450,000 for the development by the
state of one of the first of the Carey
act projects. The district is located
In Crook county.
Twenty-three senators voted in fa
vor of the bill and six against It.
Dlmlck of Clackamas was absent.
President Malarkey, speaking on the
floor in behalf of the Multnomah del
egation, promised the unanimous
support of hla colleagues In return
for the eo-operatfon of the rest of the
senate In pnsBlng the Interstate
bridge bill. Every Multnomah senator
voted nye when the roll was called.
From a group of men from Crook
county who silt In the senate cham
ber watching the procedure of the
bill, a round of npplauBO wont up
when the vote was announced. The
Columbia Southern project bill Is one
of the biggest and most important
pieces of legislation that has been
effected during tbo session. In strict
terms, tho money that will go Into
the work Is not an appropriation, but
a. loan pnylng 6. per cent. Intern '. to
tho state.
Settlor are Misled.
It was the cry of thoso who spoke
in support of tho bill that It was up
to the slnte to mnko a good mistake
which resulted In tho settlement in
Crook .county of hundreds of liome
seeknrg who were laboring under tho
promise that tbo state would develop
tho land by irrigation. This was
when the plans for the development
of the district were first formulated
by a ninn' named Lnldluw several
years ago. Instead tho state entrusted
the work to corporations, which bled
both the people and the state.
Senator McColloch, as chairman of
tho Irrigation committee, explained
tho purport of the bill. Senator
Thompson, who has represented the
Crook county people on the measure,
sM)ke forcefully In Its support. Cal
kins of Lane explained that at first
ho was bitterly prejudiced against
the bill because ho did not consider
the money well secured, but said that
after listening to the arguments be
foro the committees In favor of the
bill he was thoroughly satisfied thnt
It was a good measure. Dutler of
Wasco and Hood River quoted Gov
ernor LlBter of Washington, who snld
that Internal development was more
neodcpl In Oregon and Washington
than external development, and de
clared hlmselr In favor of the bill,

Oregon City Candlduto Says He Would
Follow Out Prison lie form Ideas
to the Letter.
"I hope to be the next governor of
this great stata of Oregon, and If I
succeed In my efforts for gubernato
rial honors, I Intend to carry out to
tho letter Governor West's plan of
prison reform."
Thus sioko W. S. U'lion yesterday
afternoon In on Interview with Dr. M.
J. Hart, the lecturer and Investigator
on tho nation-wide subject of revision
nnd modification of penal institutions.
That Mr. U'lten will adopt Governor
West's prison reform Ideas ns a prop
for his political platform Is somewhat
surprising, according to tho views ex
pressed by ninny, for tho reason that
the governor's prison policy and plans,
iur revising uio conduct of tbo Insti
tution havo not been perfected as yet,
according to his own statements.
Mr. U'Ucn la a resident of Oregon
City, and Is recognized ns the father of

Why do you so favor Governor
Wiit,'s ' pbin :f prlsos. reform," In-
quired Dr. Hart.
'In tho first plnee," replied Mr.
U'lten, "I am nnd always hnvo been
Interested deeply In tho causes where
by common humanity can bo aided;
nnd In the second place, I nm unques
tionably convinced that tbo governor
has adopted a proper course In aiding
the Inma'es of thn Oregon penitenti
ary, Tho governor has been subject
to much adverse criticism on account
of plnclng an unusual amount of trust
nnd faith In tbo convicts, but neverthe
less, If I am elected governor, I will

The House last night amended the
bill passed by the Senate carrying an
appropriation of $200,000 for the Ore
gon buildings and exhibit at the Pan-ama-Paclflo
ExiKmltlon by cutting off
$.r0,000, after a number of represen
tatives slated during the debate that
their constituents would not stand for
an appropriation of more than $150,
000. The bill Is now again up to the
senate for concurrence,
The bill authorizes the governor,
secretary of state, state treasurer,
president of the senate and spcukor
of the house as a committee to ap
point a commission of nine members
to administer Oregon's affairs for the
exposition. Kfforts mndo by Hagood,
democrat, to have the appointing
power left to the governor alone
were unavlllng, despite his claim that
It wns a humiliation and Insult to the
chief executive.
Reames, democrat, who first bnd
proposed an amendment to strike out
the siicakor of the house and the
president of tho senato, withdrew It
In favor of the Ilngood amendment.

Judge Kefuses n Divorce U Wealthy

Wife Was Insane.
Judge Galloway In the circuit court
late yesterday severely lectured the
plaintiff In the case of II. 0. Holverson
vs. Eureka Holverson, and denied IIol-
verson's suit for divorce on the
grounds that Holverson married the
present Mrs. Holverson before the
legal time limit following a dlvorco
from his flrst wife had expired and
thatjiot sufficient evidence had been
given, to prove that he was deceived
into marrying a second time.
Hoverson alleged In his suit that he
married Eureka Holverson three days
nftor she had been released from the
custody of the stnto asylum authorities
and thnt although ho had been advised
that she wns cured of a temporary In-
cnnlty, ho had found her still mentally
unbalanced,
It was brought out In tho evidence
that Holverson, a wealthy rancher.
who resides In Eugene and Is the
owner ot an $S0O0 ranch, was divorced
from his first wife In that city. Going
to Oakland, Cal., his attention was at
tracted to a matrimonial bureau and
in; found a notice signed by a Mrs.
Ilutler, thn former name of his present
wife, requesting tho acquaintanceship
of some good man.
Ho Immedlalely answered tho ad
vertisement through the matrimonial
bureau, and returned to Eugene whoro
ho and .Mrs. Duller met and became
engaged. Mrs. Ilutler was then n pa
tient In tho asylum, and both she ami
Holverson ri turned to .!;ls city anil
while the former was still a charge of,
thn asylum, Holverson visited her
three times In as many days, ami then
married her.
"You should not have married iliis

Judge Galloway from (he bench yes
terday. "You must have known nt that
