QUESTION OF JURISDICTION
OVER WATER RIGHTS

Can the State Board of Control
adjudicate the water rights on a
stream located in this state, when
the water is used to irrigate lands To-
Gated in another state, is question
with which the board finds itself con-
fronted, and it will probably be sub
mitted to the encouragement for an
answer.
The question is raised by petit
tion made for the adjudication of
Sucker creek, a tributary of the
Snake river. The petitioners are all
residents of Caldwell, Idaho, and,
while they divert the water from the
stream on the Oregon side, it is used
to irrigate project located in Idaho.
AS the members of the board view
it, it is doubtful whether its jurisdic-
ton will extend to Idaho, even
though the stream from which the
water is obtained is in Oregon.

recommendation for increased pos
tage rates would prove to be blow
at education and at religious instruc-
tion, w. s. Shallenberger, formerly
an assistant postmaster-general, tes-
titled today at the federal inquiry
into postal affairs.
Shallenberger declared that mil
lions of copies of religious and edu-
cational publications were carried
through the mails and asserted that
any increase of postal rates would
force a great curtailment in the vol
ume of this matter. He insisted that
the postofiice department should not

Benson Stood for Settlers.
81 wish, further, to say that during
his incumbency, everything possible
was done to protect settlers on irri-
cation projects and to procure the
actual reclamation of the arid lands
of the state. The policy of requiring
one dollar per acre for every acre of
land or water right sold, the money
to be deposited with the Desert Land
Board, to be expended to remedy any
defects which might be discovered In
irrigation systems prior to their be-
ing turned over to settlers, was in
augurated during his administration
and the board now holds many thou
sands of dollars applicable to such
purpose. Also, the policy Of confin-
could be provided with water re-
gardless of whether the reclamation
company succeeded In It's entire pro-
ject has always been advised by the
state engineer and carried out as
fast as old contracts could be amend
ed to provide therefor, or a particu-
lar company be persuaded that It
was the safest and best course for 1t
to pursue. Neither of those policies
have been disapproved by the board
and both are being strictly followed
and enforced, and wherever possible
new conditions tending to the bet
ter protection of investors In irri-
gated lands and to their actual re-
clamation and settlement are adopt
ed.
Refers to Governor.
Further. l wish to say that there
never has been a rule of the board
providing that so-called Secret or
executive sessions might be held,
and l know of no instance of ever
holding one, unless it was recently,
when the chairman Of the board re-
quested a representative of the press
to retire, and relative to that re-
quest, I wish to be understood that
1t was not In pursuance of any ac-
ton of the board, or the wish of the
majority of its members, that such
request was made. In the past, the
attendance of members Of the press

has been in keeping with the progress
of the times. In honor of the ami

point both of literary excellence and

It is shown that out of 394 com
