strict news censorship over the ef-

FEDERAL COURT MUST
TRY STANF|ELO CASE

Judge Robert Bean yesterday af-
ternoon decided that the town of
Stanfield, Umatilla county. would
have to try out its troubles with the
reclamation service in the federal
courts, says the Telegram. A de-
termined effort was made by Attor-
ney j. IL. Raley, for Stanfield, to have
the case remanded to the state court,
but the effect of the courts ruling
was that the causes involved are
clearly of a federal nature.
To get ne case into the state courts
the Stanfield litigants made II. ID.
Newell, q supervisor of the reclama-
ton work principal in the injunction
asked. United States District Attor-
ney McCourt pointed out this appar-
ent plan to defeat federal jurisdiction
and won the contention that all real
federal issues must be heard in the
government tribunals.
Stanfield is getting too much water
in its Easements streets and depres-
sions. Near it the Umatilla reclama-
tion project canal passes and the
Stanfield citizens allege that the ris-
ing flood seeping through the sand
of its foundation is from the govern
ment canal. The government engi-
neers insist that the water is seep-
age from the S000-acre irrigated area
which has recently been placed under
the Furnish ditch. In the final hear
ing these facts will be threshed out by
expert students of such problems.
