Portland = Unqualified declaration
that the Carey act has not operated
successfully and presentation of a SUBJ
stitute plan whereby the settler can
give a first mortgage and secure imme-
date title to his land were contained
in resolutions unanimously adopted by
the Oregon Irrigation congress.
Further resolutions urge the state
legislature to provide funds for the
immediate relief of settlers on the Co.
lumbia Southern project in Crook
county; to pass county bonding act
for the construction of good roads, and
to appropriate money for the thorough
investigation of the Columbia river
power project was advocated by John
II. Lewis, state engineer.
One Of the most important the
shortest resolutions provides that no
reclamation project be opened for set
Element until the water is ready for
distribution. This would prevent such
disastrous results as those experienced
by the Columbia Southern settlers.
Residence requirements on irriga-
ton projects constructed by the Rec
lamation service were declared unjust
and unreasonable and action was urged
that will allow water-users rs years in
which to repay the government for
construction expenses.
President-elect Wilson was asked to
appoint Western, and preferably
an Oregon man, possessing legal learn
ing, knowledge of actual conditions
existing in the West, and the judicial
temperament essential to the proper
discharge of the duties of the office for
secretary of the interior" No men
ton of either Joseph N. Teal or Will
R. King was made.
Adjudication of the water rights
under the Central Oregon Irrigation
company's project, which was made
the subject of an address by A. O..
Walker, of Alfalfa, was asked in a
separate set of resolutions.
Legislative appropriation of $50, 900
to be used with like amount already
promised by Secretary Fisher, of the
Federal Interior department, in in
vestigating irrigation and power prof.
ects as outlined by j. N. Teal before
the congress, was advised.
The State Board of Control was COM
mended for its work in the adjudica-
ton of the waters of the Silvies river
in Harvey county and the early COM
pletion of the project was recon-
mended.
Hearty Endorsement was given the
state forest work and attention of the
legislature was called to the necessity
of maintaining and providing for it.
The beneficial influence of forest cover
for the run-off streams and the hazard
of denuded watersheds through fires
were pointed out.

More of the important cases of the

term than for some time. The first
case on the docket was the Grant

obtained for the complainant. The
next was the case of ]. w. West

rendered. The Clymer case against
the l.. 4 N. Railroad, which was tried
at former term of the court, came
up this term under grant for new
trial.
Today the case of James Holt VS..
the Central Phosphate Co., of Mt.
Pleasant, is being tried 1t is a case
for damages for personal injuries to
the complainant.
The case OF j. w. West VS. West.

DEATH PENALTY

ROPE.

NASHVILLE. Feb 20.-By vote
of Sc to So the house of representa-
tives yesterday rejected the Gilbert
bill to abolish the death penalty in
Tennessee, and tabled motion to re-
consider their action. The defeat of
the bill in the houes means beyond
doubt that SO far as the present leg
islature is concerned the death penal
ty will remain in force, in spite of
the vigorous fight waged against it
by Duke C. Bowers and others.
The decision of the house was
reached after the longest debate of
the eesssion, extending through both
the morning and afternoon sessions
Of the house.
The bill was taken up as special
order by the house at II O'Clock In
the morning, and vote was not TAX
en- until nearly O'Clock in the after
noon
Mr.. Gilbert, in moving the adoption
of the bill, made a powerful appeal in
its behalf.
Mr.. Bryant, in opposing the bill, de
clared that it would make Cole

1t is said that despite the defeat
of the capital punishment bill, a
strong effort will be made to at least
substitute the Electric chair for the
rope, and that in the arguments for
this bill examples of slow death by
strangulation as noted in executions
recently at the state prison will be
brought to bear to show the cruelty
of the present method of taking a
convicted mans life.
