RECLAMATION SERVICE
REPORT ON HIGH LINE


1t is generally believed that the
public approves of the plan of the
government offered the land own
ers of kittitas valley, whose hold
ings are under the proposed high
line canal, This was fairly well
demonstrated at the mass meeting
held in the Chamber of Commerce
| Thursday evening. The Commun-
ication received from the ReClama
ton service and addressed to the
officials of High Line Canal com
pany follows:
Memorandum Of conference be
tween A. l.. Slemmons, J. c. Hub
bell, b, +. Reed and G. S. Palmer
of the I;llensburg High Line Canal
company, and Supervising Engin-
eer Chas. II, Swigart, Examiner
K. B. Williamson, of the Reclama-
ton Service, held at Ellensburg,
September 18th, 1909.
The conference was held at the
request of the representatives OF
the I.llensburg High Line Canal
company for the purpose of dis
cussing the company S claims to
water rights IN Lake kachess pur
suant to an appropriation filed by
the company for the storage of
water in said lake for use on lands
in kittitas county, and for the fur
ther discussion of the feasibility of
the irrigation of these lands by the
government or by private enter
prise.
The representatives of the Re-
clamation Service expressed the
opinion that the company had
gained no rights in Lake kaChess
by virtue of their filing, for the
following main reason: Because the
government by actual ownership
of all land bordering upon the lake
together with any land feasible for
damste purposes, and by begin
ming the work of surveys and con
struCtion and continuing the same
in good faith, had acquired superior
and prior rights in this lake to the
extent of its necessities, thereby
precluding the acquisition of any
rights in this lake for storage pur-
poses by any company at the pres
ent time.
The Representatives of the Re
clamation Service further stated
that no legal method was known to
them whereby the Ellensburg High
Line canal company could be al
lowed to acquire or perfect any
rights in this lake which would be
consistent with government control
of the reservoir In other words,
that in order to allow the Ellens
burg High Line Canal company to
acquire rights in Lake kaChess 1t
would be necessary for the govern
ment to open this lake to general
appropriation, surrendering con

The house committee on rules de-

Congressman Lowden of Illinois has

A Necessary Enactment.

The attorney-generals department
Is drafting bill to re-enact an i'm
portant law relative to estates which
the supreme court recently declared
invalid. In deciding the case Of Bres-
Ter VS.. The Delray Real Estate & In
vestment Co., the court pointed out
a defect in the statute which provided
authority for probate courts to author
lie the sale of estates in order to
preserve them. In the case at issue
ii was shown that a large section Of
waste land in Detroit, which was not
productive of any income, was threat
ened with sale for taxes because the
heirs had no funds with which to pay
the taxes. The court in taking up
tn case pointed out that the title of
the old act passed In the early days
of the state, was not broad enough for
the amendment made In 1897, which
provided for the sale of an estate
where taxes and expenses were gradu-
ally destroying the principal. On this
ground the court declared unconstitu-
tional that amendment. Information
received from probate judges shows
that there have been many transfers
OF property under the act during the
years since IL was amended, and the
situation is somewhat serious for
some people. In view OF this the bill
will be made retroactive, to provide
for giving a clear title to property
transferred under the defective act.

Take a Two Weeks, Recess.

The grand jury investigation in
Jackson prison adjourned Friday for
two weeks. This action was taken
on account of the continued absence
OF Juror Stimson, whose father is at
the point of death, and because next
Tuesday Judge Parkinson has to go
to Calhoun county to hold court for
Judge North. 1t is necessary to have
circuit court in session while the
grand jury is in session. The prose
cutors do not wish to investigate fur
Their with the juror absent, as he
would not be permitted TO participate
in the finding of indictments on evil
dence which has been presented to
any extent during his absence. During
the recess work will be done on the
report the jury is to make regarding
the prison.
According to Prosecutor Reece the
jury will not finish the prison investi-
cation for some time.

Sugar Trust Called.

Reassessments of duties amounting
to a total increase of s1,239,000 on
sugar imported by the American
Sugar Refining Co. at the refinery OF
Havemeyer & Elder, between Deem
Der, 1901, and November, 1907, have
been ordered by Collector Loeb, Of
the port Of New York.
OF this amount, 1t was announced
about 100000 has been paid to the
government by the American Sugar
Refining Co.
Mr.. Loeb ordered the reliquidation
of the duties on the ground of fraud
The imposition of the increased as
sessments is a result of the trial Of
the case of the government against
the American Sugar Co., in which the
government was awarded $134,000.
Ex-United States Attorney Stimson
and Assistant District Attorney Deni-
son. who prosecuted the case, have
been retained by the department Of
justice as special counsel to carry on
further litigation of similar nature.
In addition to the assessment Of
$1,299,000 the government also claims
that it has been defrauded of about
100000 in duties on sugar weighed at
the refinery of Havemeyer e Elder,
in Brooklyn, and also of 100000 in
duties on sugar weighed at the Jer
sey City refinery prior to 1901.

With every probability that the state
treasury deficit by the first of next
year will reach 100000, the ways
and means committee of the house
declares that no funds will be appro-
priated for new buildings at state in
stitutions this year, and every effort
will be made to reduce all appropria-
tons to the minimum. There has
been talk among some members that
II would have been wise to submit to
the people this spring a proposition
TO bond the state, or borrow sufficient
money to take care of the deficit. The
administration was strongly against
any move of this character, and timid
ones feared such a policy, with the re-
suit that employees will have to wait
anywhere from three to six months
for their pay, and there will be many
difficulties in taking care of the or
binary expenses Of the government.
Chairman Rice, of the ways and
means committee, says that the bud
get will not exceed $10,000,0 900, but
other Legislators familiar with condi-
tions, are not so sanguine, and believe
that it will run to at least $11, 900, 900
and perhaps $12,000,000.
