.CENTRAL OREGON
PATENTS LIMITED.
STATE BOARD GIVES ORDER AF-
FECTlNG IRRIGATION
Council for Promoters Asked
to Explain Why Board Must
Certify to Formally.

I An order that no certificates of proof
of reclamation. cultivation and settle
ment be issued. in connection with
the Central Oregon irrigation project
unless the lands covered by them are
patented to the state was made by the
State Desert Land Board Wednesday.
The Board also decided to call on
jesse Stearns. counsel Of the irrigation
company. for his authority in state-
ment that the Board must certify for
patent any land on which certificates
are issued.
Action was taken by the Board after
John Dubuis. field inspector for the
state, had made report Of conditions
at the project. He virtually oorrob-
GRATED the contention of State Engin-
eer Lewis thatthe seepage was larger
than is allowed in the contract. aud
the Board should have some assurance
that all the land will be watersd.
Ia a lettsr to the Board on this
phase of the question. Mr.. Lewis said {:
II the State Engineer cannot Ger.
tify that the canals can furnish and
deliverlthe required water for the last
list for patent, it will be necessary
that all settlers on the project agree
to reduction. or else allow the lands.
though sold, to revert to the Federal
Government. Such catastrophe can
be prevented only by the company of
settlers stopping excessive losses in the
canals or changing the contracts SO
as to specify less amount Of water
as sufficient for reclamation.
Mr.. Lewis also has referred to the
proposition of the Central Oregon Ir-
rieation Company to turn back to the
state the north canal system for $500
600. the estimated cost of the work
done on it. He said:
The dam and main canal to the
10000 aore project having Eeen COM
pleted. and 1T requiring only $15 an
acre more to complete the reclamation
of the North Canal lands. it appears
to me that the whole matter should
Ee put mp to the Federal Government
and the people of Oregon insist that
the work be done by the Federal Gov
Yenment.
Oregon has received less In pro-
portion to other states. and has gone
further toward cooperation. and 1t ia
believed il this matter is properly pre-
sented. the Secretary Of the Interior
would finish the undertaking. 1t is
believed that in no other state can the
Federal Government find 10000 acres
Of Government land. free from water
rights and other complications which
can be reclaimed at cost of approx
imately gas an acre"

CHARGED WITH
SHOOTING Elk
GEORGE FORREST AND AN INDIAN
UNDER BONDS
Complaint of Game Warden
Averill Is That Two Ami
mails Were Killed.

George Forrest and Julius Williams,
an Indian. have been charged with
killing two elk on the reservation
southeast of towR.
Deputy Game Warden Avsrill made
the complaint and Forrest and the
Indian have been placed under $500
bonds each. to appear before the. grand
Jury which meets January 13.
The elk alleged to have been killed
were two COWS said to have belonged
to the Walla Walla herd that was
shipped in last winter and turned out
in the spring on the headwaters of
Mill creek
Some time ago tho two COWS were
seen on the Walla Waila river near
Milton. Later they made their way
to the reservation aud were seen by a
uumb ber of persons, ranging in differ
ent fields. Their tameuess and the,
fact that they came from the noun
tains to the fields for forage Is attrib-
uted to winter feeding of hay in the
National packs and contact with the
Reeser domesticated herd for period
of several weeks tefore they were
turned out on the mountain range.
Forrest and Williams have retained
Attorney Homer !. Watts OF this city
to defend them. Averill has been as.
sisted by Deputy Sheriff w. r. Tay.
lor in scouting evidence for the prose-
cution.
A wave Of Indignation exists over
the matter, especially among those in
terested In the propagation OF game
and msmbers Of Elk lodges.
