OREGON MAY ADOPT
WYOMING LAW
Legislature VIII Have Bill for Ad-
ministrative Water System.

A bill will be presented TO the
Oregon legislature this winter asking
for an administrative water system
in this state. This was assured yes
terday at an extended conference
between the members of the Oregon
Conservation Commission and the
various water users of the state.
The proposed law will be modelled
after that in force inWyoming. where
water rights are adjudicated and
determined by a state board of con-
troll and regulated by the same
authority. In the operation of such
law, vested rights already adjudi-
Gated by the courts, will not be dis
turbed.
Under the Wyoming law the state
has board of control by which
water rights are established and reg
ulated. This board consists of five
members appointed by the governor.
Appointees on the board must first
have passed an examination con-
Quoted by the State Engineer before
becoming eligible to serve. When the
board has adjusted the rights of con-
ficting interests of the water supply
in any stream the party dissatisfied
with the adjustmen. has the right
within 60 days to appeal from the
decision of the board to the courts.
The expense of such an admins
tration of the yater system of this
state is between 100000 and $685.
900, while the service concerned not
less than 10000 consumers. Under
the operation OF the Wyoming law the
LONGEST time required for the adjust
ment Of any controversy respecting
the appropriation Of water from a
stream was only IS months. while the
system gave very general satisfaction
as was evidenced from the fact that
only infrequently were appeals taken
by either OF the rival interests to the
courts.

was the singing of ribald and obscene
songs by Buck" Heffernsn, one of Egg
gers devoted followers. This was q
remarkable achievement for political

The singer was loudly applauded by
a certain element which is always con-
spioious at Eggers' meetings and which
has a representation on the committees
of his club, but many Of the residents
of the thirty-sixth who were present
plainly resented the circumstance. Some
who had evidently come to sign the roll
of the club got up and left. The meet
ing started with the naming OF the
following temporary officers. who were
afterward made the permanent officers
of the club:
President Henry n Beatty: nrst vice presi-
sdent Daniel Tettenham; second vice president.
