HOUSE TOO FAR
Contractor Does Too Good a
Job and Moves Building
Block Too Far.

Just what the hot weather will do
to sweltering mortals was demonstrat-
ed in West Hammond this morning
when John Ahlborn West Hammond
housemover. moved two-story build
ing a block beyond its destination. He
was busy moving it back this after
noon in the hope of getting away with
1t before any of his friends learned of
his mistake. but as a. two-story struc-
ture cannot very easily be carried
around in a vest pocket, the story leak
ed out.
Ahlborn had the contract of moving
the building, formerly known as
"Rosie's Place" from No. State street,
near the state line. to Ingraham ave-
nue.. Instead he went as far as Went
worth avenue. One explanation may be
found in the fact that the house was
being moved so fast that Ahlborn did
not realize what speed he had until il
was too late
Learns of Mistake Too Late.
All morning long the residents along
the thoroughfare heard Ahlborn's
commanding voice saying "Heave no
altogether. down your bars. swing
to the right ,heave ho.''
Is Peter w Meyn moving another
house into West Hammond? was the
bored query from the villagers as they
leaned over their gates to watch the
house move by.
.'Heave no. was the only answer they
received as the creaking noises of the
rollers and planks grew dim in the dis.
stance

D. C. BROWN ELL

"Why have the opponents of the
Umatilla extension waited until this
late hour to make known their OBJ
jections to the move" was the OPEN
ing remark of d. c. Brownell of UNA
tilla. one of the stalwarts in the ex-
tension brigade. Continuing, Mr..
Brownell told of the long, hard work
for the extension and of the difficulty
encountered by the Pendleton Com
mercial club and others in inducing
Portland people to assist in the fight.
He held forth the argument that the
carving out of the extension will be
of vast benefit to the state at large
and that the governments proposed
work cannot in any manner affect the
rights of settlers on the upper river
Mr. Brownell was the sole speaker
from Umati'la and when he cut short
his remarks was notified he would be
allowed to speak again later in the
evening, but no opportunity arose for
him to speak again.
Following Mr.. Brownell, r. p. Dodd
took the floor and served as the Sec
ond speaker from Hermiston. His

OLIVER P. MORTON

Oliver =. Morton. attorney for the
reclamation service. and the gentle
man who brought the adjudication
suits against the users along the Una
tilla river and tributary streams was
the butt of much criticism last night
and spoke briefly several times.
Discussing the adjudication suits.
Mr.. Morton said they had been
brought in compliance with the Ore
gon irrigation code, and that by going
before the state water board the gov
ernment had placed its rights under
local control and stood the same as
other ind viduals. He declared the
adjudication suits and the proposed
Umatilla extension were two separate
affairs and should be so considered.
He said that in governmental circles
the adjudication suits are regarded as
having but slight bearing on the
eXtens on These suits will be carried
through regardless of what may be
done with reference to the extension.
This reply. gwen in a guarded form,
was made to a question propounded
by C. c. Chapman. secretary of the
Portland Commercial club.

LOUIS SCH0LL JR.

Louis Scholl, Jr, of Echo. made one
of the most emphatic and rect talks
in behalf of those who are opposing
the extension and he presented the
matter from the standpoint of Echo
and of settlers upon the Meadows
In opening his remarks Mr.. Scholl
declared that at first the extension
appealed to him as It did to others.
and he was for it on the ground that
it would mean the expenditure of
much money in the state and would
not interfere with the rights of older
settlers
Developments subsequent to the
taking up of the move for the extern
sion forced him to change his mind
regarding the merits of the move. His
chief criticism of the extension was
made on the ground that it means the
taking of water that should Justly go
to other settlers above the mouth of
Butter creek. He also set forth the
argument that the destruction OF 1000
acres Of land upon the meadows will
make the extension an injury rather
than benefit to Umatlla county.
Mr.. Scholrs address consisted large
" in reading letter he had written
Senator Chamberlain and in which he
set forth at length the objections to
the extension and upheld the John
Day project as being the proper pro-
ject to he adopted

DR.. H. W. C0E

DR.. Henry. Wa do Coe of Portland
and Stanfield, came to the front last
night as the leading spirit among
those who are working against the
extension. He did not have a set
paper, but speaking off hand he de-
clared there is not sufficient water in
the Umatilla river for the proposed
extension. In support of that conten-
tion he quoted the state engineer
showing the min mum flow of the riv-
er to be 219,OOO acre feet Setting
forth what he declared to be the am
cunt of water now consumed on the
Umatilla and other projects he
sought to show that It is physically
impossible for the government to car
ry out the extension without injury
to present users.
DIR. Coe also dwelt eloquently up
on the rights of old settlers to water
for their farms and declared that the
government should not drive settlers
on the Umatilla meadows from their
homes in order to obtain land for res
ervoir purposes. He frequently refer
red with much sarcasm to the recla-
nation service and declared that he
de,ests many of those in the service
though applauding the qualities of the
land under the Umatilla project.
In reply to the star argument of the
Hermistonians that he is behind the
Andrew c Smith filing upon the
flood waters of the river. DR.. Coe de-
clared the filing was made in the be.

he learned that the flow Of the rivei

DEMANDS ABR0GATl0N
OF RUSSIAN TREATY
Congressman SuItzer In
sists on Immediate
Action

Washington, Dec. 13.-Immediate
action by congress for the abrogation
of the Russian treaty was demanded
in the hous eby Congressman Sulzer
today as a result of Russia's refusal
to honor pa;'ports of Jewish Am
er cans.
For nearly half a century Russia
has persistently refused to liv cup
to the treaty and recognize passports
of American citizens without dis
elimination. We can't tolerate this
inju stice. 1t is foreign to everything
for which civilization stands.
This is not specifically a Jewish
question, 1t is a question in solving
the rights of American citizens.
Russia not alone refuses to rec
ognize Jewish passports but those
which are also issued to Baptist mis-
siouaries and Catholic priests.
This matter must be settled defi-
nitely, once and for all A new
treaty must be arranged; one with
out loopholes, for Russia to discrim-
mate" Z.

JUDGE MARINER <It

Judge Mariner. of B,alock Gillian
county, spoke briefly in behalf of a
scheme to reclaim the lands under the
extension by using water from the
John Day river taken out at a point
below the governments prospective
site at Thirty Mile creek. Judge Mar
iner declared he had made surveys
and finds that it is feasible to bring
water from the John Day to lands
under the extension and also to wa
ter some 10000 acres in northern
Gillian county. He urges that if the
government will take up his scheme it
will afford a happy solution to the
present controversy. He said the
work could be done for the four mill
lions requested for the Umatilla ex-
tension and that it would leave the
waters of the Umatilla for the use Of
other parties.

Officials Favor II.

Immediately after the meeting had
been called TO order in the oregon
theatre, Secretary Jack Keefe, OF the
Pendleton club, read letter from
state Engineer John II. Lewis where
in he expressed his regret he could
not attend the meeting but urged the
endorsement of the Umatilla extern
sion. II was set forth in the message
that the building of the extension
would not affect the rights of upper
river settlers and that the water
rights would have to be adjudicated
regardless of the outcome of the
movement for the extension.
letter was also read from United
States Attorney John McCourt who
also favored the carrying out of the
extension. In his letter Mr.. McCourt
disclaimed full knowledge of the de-
tails in connection with the extension
but upheld the position taken by
Messrs Hopson and Morton.
At the oregon theater meeting last
evening the opening in behalf of those
fighting for the Umatilla extension
was fired by l. +. Davis. formerly en-
gineer in the reclamation service. In
his address he disclaimed speaking
as reclamation attorney but inti-

Here is Summary of the Argu-V
ments of those Fayoring the west

Oregon can get no reclamation
money for years IL the Extension Is

Governmental Irrigation Is superior

The rights of the settlers on the
upper river will not be injured by the
extension.
The adjudication of the upper river
rights will proceed no matter what
happcns to the Extension.
The settlers on the Umatilla mea-
dows will be fully repaid for such
lands as may be taken from them
for reservoir purposes
Those settlers are not as seriously
opposcd 10 the extension as Is claim
cd.
The rights of the Indians OF the
IJmatiIla reservation to water VIII be
determined regardless of what hap
pens to the Extension.
