Decision Is Withheld.

Pendleton-In the Circuit court ar

the Little Walla Walla irrigation suit
that has been brought in this district
The point in controversy was the recent
order given by the court making the
state party to the suit and requesting
the state engineer to make a hydro
graphic survey of the land involved.
After listening to the argumentq OF the
various attorneys, Judge Ellis an
nounced that his decision would be
withheld, and October 21 was set as the
date for arguing the demurrers.

LET FOR TWO YEARS.
oregon's Convict Labor Goes 10 the
Stove Foundry People.

Salem - An agreement has been
reached between Governor Chamberlain
and the Loewenberg- Going company for
the leasing Of convict labor at the peni-
tentiary for period Of two years. The
price to be paid for labor IL the same
that has prevailed In the past, but sew.
eral changes have been made in the
contract In other particulars.
Because there Is q popular desire
that conyiets be employed on the pub
lie roads, In which desire Governor
Chamberlain joins, and because the
last legislature authorized the appoint
ment OF commission 10 investigate
the subject and report TO the next legis-
lature, the governor refused TO make q
contract now for the leasing Of convict
labor for more than two years. In
sistence upon the shorter period made
Il impossible 10 secure higher price
than has been paid in the past--3 u
cents per hour for each man.
The new contract requires the stove
foundry proprietors TO employ not less
than 100 men day, whereas the min
imum number heretofore has been 100.
There are now 800 prisoners In the
penitentiary. About 100 Of these are
employed on the farm, in the stables,
In the kitchen, and on other work con.
nected with the management Of the in
stitution. This leaves 300 10 be other
wise employed. The foundry will now
take not less than l60, leaving l40 out
OF employment. At many times the
foundry will employ more than $50,
but this number must be paid for, even
though not worked.
What TO do with the l40 idle men ID
now the problem. A lew OF them can
be employed on the public roads near
Salem under cooperative arrange.
ment with the county court, and q
gang will be put at work grubbing out
piece OF state land on the Reform
school farm. This will still leave
some idle. probably, at many times OF
the year.

salem-While IL is yet too early to
make accurate statements Of the yield
of hops in Marion county this year, es-
Inmates by men in the beat position to
judge are that the total yield will be in
the neighborhood of 81 900 bales. The
quality will be perfect. In about a
week, when the work Of baling is far
ther advanced, fairly accurate state
ment OF the actual yield can be made
and the samples will show the quality.
Growers are showing little disposition
to sell at present prices, but II is be-
lieved that 10 cents q pound would
cause rapid selling.

salem-Certifcates Of sale for total
Of 10000 acres Of state school land
have been cancelled In the last few
weeks, because OF lapse In the payment
Of installments within the required
time. OF this aggregate amount Of
land, 1000 acres 10 in the limits Of
the proposed Blue mountain forest re-
serve, and, according 10 the rulings Of
the Interior department, the state will
be able TO use the land as base for the
selection OF lieu land.
The original purchasers Of the land
have forfeited the payments made,
amounting probably 70 10000 or
more, and the state has the land to
sell again. Much Of the land outside
the reserve will probably not be salable
for some time, as the state has raised
the price to $3.50 an acre. The 1000
acres inside the reserve should find
market as base for lieu land, at s5 an
acre.
A large proportion Of the certificates
that have been cancelled were among
those secured by violation Of the law
governing the purchase Of state school
land. Prosecution OF land fraud cases
has scared many OF the holders OF cer-
tifcates iraudulently obtained, and
they have thought best quietly to drop
the whole transaction, forfeit what
they have paid and let the state keep
the land.
