Irrigation Company Pat and Board Surrenders Notes to It DEFIES I KAISER Stands Says Germany Is Capable of Killing Neutrals Eut Has Not the Power II AUSTRIA ADM TS DEFEAT IN SERVIA Another chapter of the history of the contract between the desert land board "wind breaks." pany came up for enactment before the land board this morning upon the ag plication of tie company for the release of settler1 notes ia the aggregate amount of approximately $29,01)0, which wore being held by the board as a guarantee of fulfillment of contract with the board and the sottlers upon tho land in the reclamation project, with out any strings to the release whatever so far as the company is concerned. It finally resulted in the board mak ing an order surrendering the notes to the company upon tho condition that the company will not attempt to sell any laud in excess of 2G,71 acres al ready under actual irrigation and, further, in the event tho supremo court decides in'tho favor of tho company to the effect that it should be allowed pay for furnishing water to 4,&00 acres of land, claimed to be in excess of tho capacity of the company's canals for furnishing water to tho enUre segrega tion by Engineer Lewis, in which event the company will be allowed open lands for sale up to tho maximum of 30,HUO acres. The company refused to agree to any terms expressed in tho order releasing the notes that would in anywise bind it, or, as expressed by Manager Howard of the company "anything that would serve to disbar the eoinpnny from court in tho event of litigation," and Stato Kngineer Lewis, standing upon tho con tention that any order made by the bourd without the consent or agreement of the company would release tho com pany from the fulfillment of tho terms of tho contract, refused to concur in the order and voted "no". All of the! other members of the board voted inj favor of the order and the company is i to receive the notes without a record of acknowledgment on its part as to any, provisos or conditions. .J The piincittiil point, in the contention j over the possession of the notes is, from ; the company's interpretation of the terms of the contract for tho reclama tion of the laud embraced in the pro-! leet. (:i",i:U acres) is that, the notesj could be held by the board only until, ihe eoinpnny furnishe.l a sufficient sup ply of water to irrigate all of tho lands in what is know n as List No. fi, which I embraces only n part of the entire scgre- gntion, mid that, since they havp coin-' plied with that condition, us they viewed it, by enlarging the north canal sufficiently to irrigate the lands em-j braced in List No. (i, the board hns n legal right to retain possession of the' notes. State Kngineer Lewis's con struction of the terms of the contract is to the effect, that the notes are to, be heli! until all of the irrigable lauds within the entire project nre reclaimed and he stood upon that contention. The whole quest ion revolved around the interpretation of the word "lands") as used in the contract and whether it applied to the land in List Xo. fl or to: the entire segregation. Tho company; claims to have supplied sufficient, water to Irrigate n total of ;I0,UU0 aci-rts, which they wanted opened for sale, but State Kngineer Lewis contended that,; if an allowsuce for seepage were madej the supply would not be sufficient. I. (tovernor West and Kngineer Lewis goti into a wrangle over the technicalities Involved ia the construction nf thei terms nf the contract and finally the governor accused Mr. Lewis of being dishonest to the extent of wanting to hang the whole transaction up on n mere technicality for the saka of put ting the irrigation company iu the hole to which Mr. Lewis replied: "My position is stuted very plainly right here in writing before the board and 1 am willing to stand on my record." The question that is pending decision in the supreme court is whether or not the company is compelled to furnish water (o nil lauds in the segregation in excess of the actual amount contiacted for without ndilitiuiial pay. London, Dec. 21. The Tall Mall Oa zotto hai another editorial today con cerning the interview granted by Ad miral Von Tirpitz, German minister of marino, to Correspondent Karl H. Von Wiegand, of the United Press, earlier in the week. "Tho stoppage of England's foal supplies," said this article, which was headed "Higheat Culture," "cannot be accomplished if Germany observes the rules of civilized warfare. "It is evidently hoped that by threat ening those who man the world's mer cantile shipping with sudden death, Kngland can be isolated and starved out. "The sinking of t'ae Admiral Gan teaunio," a French ship which hit a mine or was torpedoed in the channel sone time ago while on its way from Franco to England with many wounded on board "is proof that Germany is quite capable of such a piratical pro grom, if it has the means of executing it. "The lives of neutrals are nothing to her if thoir destruction will bring he a little nearer to her receding goal. "Wo await tho threat of havov to be wrought by attacks on our food sup plies in the same spirit as that in which wo prepare for baby killers and Zep pelins. "Tho baser and more frightful an enemy becomes tho le?s we are intimidated." ONE DELIVERY BY MAIL CARRIERSTOMORROW Owing to the Parcel Post System There Will Be No Christmas Holiday for Postal Employes In Salem. The local postoffice employees will not enjoy much Christmas tomorrow as a result ot tho heavy burden placed on them by the parcel post system and the enormous number of Christmas packages on hand to be distributed. The office will bo open until 10 o'clock and both the city and country carriers will make deliveries. Tho great volume of mail that the city carriers .will have to distribute will not allow them time to luuko but one delivery for the dny. Never before in the history of the local office has the n nil been so heavy as at this Christinas, Kvery uvailiible spnee is occupied by the pouches and stacks of parcels, while around the dif ferent carriers' desks bundles are stacked everywhere, the floor beneuth iind the top of the rnck being taxed to capacity in an endeavor to handle the volume of Christians presents. I'eoplo expecting presents from the Kasf. tomorrow are doomed to disap pointment, for the eastern mail which was due at 11 o'clock this forenoon will not arrive until ;i o'clock tomor row morning and cannot possibly be worked nut for morning delivery. Both the carriers and the parcel post wagon w ill do their best to deliver the presents tomorrow, but the limited fa cilities at the postoffice together with the helatcd arrival of the heaviest Christmas mail will render it initios Bible to hulf complete tho task.

New York, Dec. 2-1. Austria's offi cial announcement today of the aban donment of its recent eumpaign in rSor via constitute a formal admission of the complete success of the .Servians' amazingly developed counter offen sive. . Kven moro significant than this, however, is the implied confession that the Austrians uro unable to launch a fresh offensive. In owning to the defeat, the Vienna war office surely would have given no tico of a return to -the attack, had thero been any immediate prospect of such a step. That no such notice was given is strongly suggestive of the pressing need which must exist for Austrian re inforcements in Gulicin. Seemingly all mailable troops must be hurried northward to tho Carpa thians instead of southward inmiiwi jServia. Thus, the Servians apparent liy are safe from invasion for the ores jent. 1 j ....j. 11 r:.,, mi 15 cootirmeii ny uie jHcrlin announcement of the develop- iiii-iu m u new liussinn intensive move ment in (lalicia and particularly along wnj v urj'iiiniuns. ! Austria's most important task of tin jwar is to keep the Macs from the Hun giirinn side of this nioiinluin range. I Otherwise, discontent in lliinmi,. ,,..,. ahly will reach such a point that the Magyar Separatist movement will j break into open revolt, against Servia. Since llungaiiiiii di; satisfaction has I shewn itself so susceptible to fomen- loioni n v ossiick invaders, it would appear that higher strategic require, meats must dcniainl the development of a further Sluv offensive on the Hun garian plains. There are indications Hint the czar is aiming at just tiiis thing.

I if a new Hungarian campaign is being planned. Assuming this to be the case, the troops withdrawn from Cracow are now to be used in defending Warsaw, 1mt nave orders tor a Carpathian offen sive.
