A. d. Stillman, attorney for most of
the defendants in the Little Walla
Walla water suit this afternoon filed
answers for IS of his clients. In each
instance the defendants set forth the
amount of water they have been using
and their right to the same.
Some time ago Mr.. Stillman filed an
swers for over 200 other defendants,
and he has now completed that part
of the work. There are $50 defend
ants in the suit, but some of this num-
ber have failed to answer through hav-
ing no interests.
The present suit was brought by
number of parties living below Milton
on the Little Walla Walla, ana all
farmers living above were made de-
PENDANTS and required to show their
rights to the water they are using.

Who will be superintendent and
rangers Of the new Blue Mountain for
est reserve just re-created by the
president and the forestry depart
ment?
This question is now being asked
by Umatilla county stockmen who feel
that Umatilla county is entitled to the
headquarters and portion of the ap-
pointees of the reserve.
The Blue Mountain reserve as es
tablished by the president contains
2,627.000 acres OF forest land, large
part of this being in southern UNA
tilla and northern Grant counties
Pendleton Is the chief shipping point
for practically all the stock that will
be ranged In the reserve and Umatilla
county people are deeply interested in
the creation of the reserve and In the
rules which are to be formulated for
its regulation.
The reserve as created follows the
general lines of the temporary with
drawai made three years ago, with the
exception of 100000 acres In the val.
ley OF the Silvies river. which has been
eliminated because of the agricultural
nature of the land.
Around the edge of the withdrawal
small tracts of agricultural and school
land have been eliminated and the
boundaries are so drawn as TO exclude
all land lying along the border which
has passed into private ownership un-
der any public land laws.
The original Blue mountain with
drawal embraced more than 10000
acres. About 500, 900 acres more have
been left out. so as to make the re-
serve a compact body of forest land
Most of the opposition raised
against the creation OF this reserve al
the time of the withdrawal was first
made has subsided. and the people OF
eastern Oregon are now, with few ex-
ceptions. satisfied that its establish
ment Is to their interest. particularly
since assurance Is given that the Blue
mountain range will be opened to
grazing under such restrictions as pro-
tect the grazing areas in all other for
est reserves. Special regulations gov
eInlIlb bldEillS III Tie blut mountains
have not yet been prepared, but will
be Issued shortly.
The forest service. in announcing
the creation of the Blue mountain re-
serve, makes statement of its pur-
poses and its benefits. The following
extracts are made from that report:
The Blue mountain reserve contains
numerous headwaters of the John
Day, Umatila, Malheur, Silvies and
other rivers, which have important
bearings upon the work of the recla-
nation service in that state. The sue
cess of the widely separated Umatilla,
Malheur and Silvies creek irrigation
projects depend in a large measure up
on conservation of the water supply
within the great drainage area EN-.
braced in this reserve.
The creation of the reserve will have
a direct effect in bringing about the
agricultural development of n great
portion Of the state lying east of the
Cascade mountains, which needs only
irrigation to develop fertility of mil
lions of acres. The land in the noun
tain regions embraced in the forest
reserves will be carefully patrolled
at government expense at all times to
prevent disastrous fires, and all other
possible efforts will be made to sus-
tain and regulate stream-flow to thoes
regions.
