Governor Accuses Kay and
Lewis With Framing Up
Incorrect Statement.
DEScHUTES CASE is
CAUSE OF STRIFE
West Promises to Show Secre-
tary of Interior and 9th
ers He Is Right.

There has n war broken out in the
state house that makes the Mexican
affair look like 30 cents. II came
about over the Deschutes Land Com
pany, of which Mr.. MOrson is the head
or manager The first gun was fired
when the desert land board, consisting
of Governor West, Secretary Olcott
and Treasurer Kay, Engineer Lewis
and AttOrney.General Crawford, in the
absence Of Governor West, gave the
company an extension Of time in which
to complete its contract for the recla-
nation Of the lands it had contracted
to reclaim. This action was taken, ac-
cording to the statement Of the board,
because owing to the action of the
governor in having the federal govern.
ment examine into the work, held the
company up for nearly two years, and
prevented it completing its work.
From Statement.
The governor hotly resented this,
and made his resentment public
through the newspapers. He claimed
the board took snap Judgment on him,
and that It's action was unwarranted.
and not justified by the circumstances.
There were ordinations and reerimin.
ations, and the elimination came last
night, or sO1ne time yesterday, when
the governor learned that two mem.
bers of the board, Kay and Lewis, had
prepared petition or statement Of the
matter for transmission TO the interior
department, in which II was stated. in
substance, that every contention Of the
governors was wrong, that everyone
Of his charges against the company
was without foundation, and asking
that an extension Of time be given the
company. This statement also showed
that the secretary Of the interior, or
his subordinate had 80 found.
Says IL Is Misleading.
This statement was signed by Kay,
as chairman pro tenn Of tho board.
and Lewis as secretary, and purported
to be the action Of the board. when
neither Crawford, 0lcott or West had
seen it. The governor says that he be.
lieves this was to have been forwarded
to the secretary Of the interior, with
out his knowledge.
The governor, in turn, prOnouncs
these statements as decidedly incor.
rect, and is preparing showing Of
the whole matter. In the meanwhile
Messrs. Kay and Lewis are not idle,
and they, too, will present their side
Of the case. Only the first skirmish
has been fought, and the war will soon
assume serious proportions.
