The defendants in the big Elam
water suit brought in the north end
Of the county do not want to pay for
the photographic survey which has
been ordered of the land sinvolved,
and this afternoon motions were filed
here asking Judge Ellis to vacate his
recent order making the state a party
to the suit and requiring the state en-
gineer to enter upon the survey.
The motions were filed by HALEY &
Lowell and Stillman & Pierce as at
torneys for large number OF the de-
PENDANTS I'm the suit, and they hold
that the state is not properly a party
to the suit. under the law of 1905.
According to the contention of the
defendant attorneys the state can be
made a party to such suit only
when the government wishes to come
into the field for the purpose osYdoing
reclamation work. and the l4cen, or
der Of Judge Ellis is held to b. ultra
wires.
The order for the state engineer to
make a photographic survey OF the
land involved in the suit was given
| by Judge Ellis a month or two ago at
the request of Will F. King. attorney
for the plaintiff. Since that time,
. State Engineer ]. H. Lewis has plac-
/ ed a force of engineers in the field
and commenced on the work of maxi
| ing the survey.
From Indications the task of max
| ing the survey is to be a long and
/ expensive one, it being estimated that
( it will require about three years time
and an expense of from $4,000 to $751;
600 to complete the workk. Under
the law this expense is required to be-
borne by the parties in the suit, and
1t is because of that fact that the de-
PENDANTS are seeking to have the or
der vacated. According to their at
torneys, there would be no objection
on their part to the survey provided
the expense of the same was worne
by the plaintiffs. However. II is not
presumed such would he acceptable to
those on that side of the case.
The movement to bring the state
engineer into the field for the purpose
of making a photographic survey was
nstigated by the plaintiffs in the suit.
and the sum of $500 is said to have
been deposited by them to the credit
of the state engineer for the purpose
of paying the preliminary expense OF
the work. However, the order re-
qulring the survey was given eN parte.
and 1t is believed by the defendants
that the same will be vacated.

The Dalles Sept. l5.--Sheriff Sex

he went to arrest Charles Underwood

name was Richard Bennett Darnell.

Darnell went to the rented place to
gather fruit. when she ana Underwood
engaged In quarrel. Mrs. Darnell
returned to her home across the river
and that night told her husband of the
trouble she had with Underwood.
This so enraged Darnell that he
summoned his hired man, ., a. Sim

place occupied by Underwood and
Woodward. and routed them out of
bed about IL o'clock at night, 6cclar-
ing that he would kill both OF them
unless they accompanied him home
and apologized to Mrs. Darnell.
At the point of his revolver he forc-
ed them out of the house. Woodward
ran away and Darnell fired a shot at
him without effect.
Underwood accompanied Darnell to
his home, made due apology for what
he had said and was permitted to go,
though with the statement from Dar-
nell that he would be killed unless he
left the country.
On returning bone Underwood bor-
rowod Winchester rifle from a
neighbor and took 1t with him when
he and Woodward went to work next
morning. About o'clock the young
men saw Darnell and Simmons ap-

GLADDEN. introduced the following
resolution in open session of the board
this morning:
Resolved. The office board should
not invite or solicit donations to its
funds from persons whose gains are
generally believed to be made by
methods morally indefensible or So
cially injurious"
II is practically the same resolu-
ton introduced by him last winter. 1t
was referred to the business commit
tee and a substitute resolution intro
duced by Rev. G. NJ. Fales, of Chica-
go, which embodies the following:
THE board has no authority to dis
criminate between donors or judge
their character or reputation. Inves-
legations by executive officers to de-
termine the sources from which gifts
come are neither justifiable nor prac-
ticable. Officers of the board are
morally bound to use every legitimate
means to secure and convert money
from other uses into the direct serv-
ice Of advancing the kingdom of God
in the world"
1t also was referred to the resolu-
tions committee, to be passed on late
this afternoon. The latter will un-
questionably be passed.

Patents

Reclamation Company Seeks to Com
Patents.
Salem, Sept i5.-SState Engineer J.
II. Lewis and President j. q. Johnston
OF the Deschutes Irrigation q Power
company. are In dispute over the in
depreciation OF the natonai and state
laws In regard to reclaiming land un-
der the Carey act. President Johnston
is seeking to have the work done by
his company. for the reclamation of
about $4,000 acres Of land near Bend,
approved by the state land board and
Engineer Lewis. so that patents will
issue from the government for the
land.
Mr.. Johnston has submitted maps
and plats of the canals and bitches
constructed by his company, cover
ing the land In question, and asks
that they be approved and the neces-
sary certificates issue.
The point of difference Is tnat Mr..
Lewis cannot see his way clear to issue
a certificate covering any tract of land
10 which the water has not actually
been conveyed. Strictly speaking.
each tract Of land, as the engineer un-
derstands the law. means each ll6O
acres, the amount OF land a settler
may take up. In this instance he says
he is willing to waive that construc-
ton and accept the conveyance OF wa
ter to the highest point on each sec
ton OF land. He says, also that he 10
willing to take as evidence that wa
ter has actually been conveyed Ia each
tract" the fact that ditch was con-
structed to the land even though no
water has flowed through It.
Mr.. Johnston contends that canal
Of sufficient capacity to carry water
for the total number or acres to be
segregated, constructed to and through
the land along the course from which
lIaterals could be constructed to all
parts of the land, is all that should be
required of the company.
MIR. Lewis argues thar us the re-
,clamation charge of $40 per acre and
the perpetual annual maintenance
charge of 81 per acre becomes a lien
on the land as soon an the govern
ment patent issues to the state, and
the company Is entitled to 6 per cent
interest on the reclamation charge. no
land should be included In the patent
other than those sections to which wa
ter is actually supplied.
Mr.. Lewis says he finds some land
included In the application or the
company that ~ 10 miles from the
main canal or nearest lateral.
