HEARING Of FAMOUS WEST END
WATER SUITS DEGIN5 MONDAY

The rapidly becoming famous Echo
water suits will start in the circuit
court next Monday morning as per
schedule. all efforts TO have them re-
rvrred to the state board of water
commissioners having failed. Those
directly Interested in the suits were
brought up from Echo last evening
hut after an extended conference held
this morning in the office of Lowell x
Winter between the Htigants and their
attorneys IT was decided to go ahead
with the trial of the cases.
The principal difficulty in the way
of having the matter referred to the
board was the indefintness of the
length of time which might elapse be-
fore the hoard could take up and ad~
Indicate the rights of water users al
ong the Umatilla river. AS it is neces-
sary that the questions involved in
these suits be settled before the next
rrigating season it was decided best
to proceed with the litigation.
The first case called will be that OF
the Allen Ditch company versus the
Henrietta Milling company. owing to
the large number Of witnesses to pe
examined it is expected that week
win he consumed in the hearing OF
this ease alone. It will be followed
by the case of the Henrietta Milling
company against Joseph Cuhna and
the trial of this will probably require
as much time rs the other.

st. Paul, Dec 3-More than 400
imported Chicago strikebreakers are
working today in the local railroad
Yards, according to the transporta-
ton officials. 1t is stated that before
tomorrow the places of prayti ally
all the strikers will be filled and
freight moving resumed. The lead
ers of the striking switchmen laugh
at the statement that the strike IS
practically broken and apparently are
confident of victory. They. desIare
that comparatively few of their num-
her have returned to work AMI are
making every effort to combat the ef-
forts of railroad officials to import
more men to fill the strikers places.
As a result Of the importation OF
substitute sw,tchmen it is deemed
probable the dispute will be carlod
into the courts. Mayor Lawler has
been retained as the strikers counsel
and will assume direct charge of the
legal campaign if instituted. Many
strikebreakers have been sworn in as
special police to protect the railroads.

A ,hird case. that Of the Henrietta
shilling company versus Joseph Ramos
has not yet been set for trial mn,
follow the Others and it may not come
mp until later
The difficulty in the west end of the
county which is responsible for this
litigation is the inability Of the Uma-
tilla river TO supply water during the
summer months sufficient for the de-
mands of alr those who want to take
water from the stream.
The trouble was started last summer
when Ramos built dam in the river
which shut off the water from the
race of the Henrietta milling company
and diverted it on to his own fields
This necessitated the closing down Of
the alfalfa meal mill being operated
by the milling company and was fol-
lowed by an injunction suit brought
by the company to compel Ramos to
take out his dam. The other suits
followed in rapid succession.
After time the litgants agreed up
on compromise which was affected
by Judge Bean and which was to re-
main in effect until in October. Since
that time there has been plenty Of
water for all. The hearings have now
been resumed in order that the rights
of the litigants may be adjudicated be.
fore the next irrigating season and
thus avoid repetition of last sum
mer's difficulties.

Asquith Threw Down Gauntlet
in Lower Houee and Great
Struggle is Now On,
BALFOUR'S OWN WORDS
TURNED AGAINST HIM
BY Overwhelming Vote House of
Commons Passed Resolution De-
nouncing Action of Aristocrats I'm
Opposing Financial Measure
Irony for Titular Gentlemen.

London, Dec. 3.-By a majority of
215 the house of commons today re-
corded its claim to exclusive control
Of the nations purse-a claim never
before challenged in modern times.
The vote was taken on "A resolution Of
fered by Premier Asquth. which de-
ciared that the action of the house
of lords i'm refusing to pass into law
the financial provisions made by the
chamber for the expenses of the year,
was breach of the constitution and
usurpation of the rights OF the house
of commons
The resolution was passed by vote
of 34s to 1874. BY this vote the op-
posing forces of the lords and co n
mons ere placed ia battle array for
one of the greatest constitutional
struggles that has come before the
country for centuries. Scenes of IN
thusiasm which accompanied the vor-
ing of Mr.. Asquith's resolution were
in marked contrast to those witnessed
in the recent debate in the house OF
lords. No prominent members OF the
government side arose in the house Of

ings against the course the ministers
were pursuing The ministerial ranks
were closed in a complete unanim.ty
Of protest against the action of the
upper house.
Mr.. Ralfour, leader of the opposi-
ton, evidently was suffering from ef-
fects of his indispOsition and mis-
speech lacked the ring of sincerity and
conviction that characterized the
prime minister's. The latter had an
easy task in pouring ridicule upon
what he described, amid the rousmg
cheers of his supporters, as new
tangled caesar,sm,' this "arroglut
usurpation" of the lords.
The premier's ironical reference to
the instinct of divinaton" OF the
peers on reaching manhood dissolved
his hearers in laughter. He quoted
with trenchant effect the speech of
Mr.. Balfour less than year ago in
which the eX-premier described him
self as a "house of commons man,
and said: "It is the house of COM
mons. not the house of lords, which

The amazement with which the lib
erals listened to the quotations from
Ia four aga nst himself, was only
equalled by the chagrin depicted on
the faces of Mr. Balfour's followers.
Altogether Mr.. Asquith surpassed
himself and his elated followers de-
clare that he never made finer or

Mr.. Henderson's speech for the la

great encouragement for the coming
