INDIAN TO Be TRIED
FOR sQUAW MURDER
ONCE PARDONED FROM PRISON
BY PRESIDENT TAFT.
Columbia George In Federal
Court Tuesday, After Post
ponements Of Case.

According to psndieton special.
Columbia George. the alleged Indian
murderer, is to te tried Tuesday next
for the murder of the squaw Tim Mot.
Prior to the killing of the squaw in
July Of last year. the Indian had
served ten years for the. murder Of
squaw named Anna Edna, in 1900.
With another Indian named Toy
Toy. following an Indian custom of
witchoraft. he took the life of Anna
Edna, for the supposed offense of
killing little girl. They were in.
dicted by the United. States grand
jury in Por tland. tried, convicted and
sentenced to life imprisonment gon
MoNeil's Island. They were pardon
ed ky President Taft in 1910. Upon
securing their freedom they both re-
turned to the Umatilla reservation.
The story of Columbia Georges
movements on the day the deed for
which be is to be tried was committed
is as follows: In company with Toy
Toy and other Indians, Columbia
George spent the early part of the day
in Pendleton drinking.
About 8 p. M. he left the city and
went to what is known as the Switz-
Ter place. about mile and half from
town on the reservation. He went to
the house Of Sam Blttner and got
something to eat. While he was
there Tim Mot rode up. called the cook
outside and asked him to give her the
whereabouts of a supposed lost horse.
The Indian came out of the house as
the squaw was riding away. He called
to her and after short conversation.
they both started of together. follow
ing an old trail up the Umatilla river.
Nothing more was seen of the squaw
until the following morning. when a
man, while engaged in Hsbing, found
the body of the woman in the river
about 500 yards from the Bittner
house.
The arrest of the Indian followed
and he was given a hearing before the
United States Commissioner, who
held him to the United States grand
jury. The fact that this crime was
committed on land within the oon-
fines Of the Umatilla reservation
brought up the question OF jurisdic-
tion. He was eventually indicted by
the United States grand jury, since
which time the case has been con-
tinued from time to time for different
reasons.

OREGON IRRIGATION
sNSTEM IS PRAISED
NEWELL SAYS COMMITTEE WILL
URGE SIMILAR Law.
Plan Of Water Board Is To
Have Say on Titles In Place
of Court System.

Declaring that Oregon's irrigation
system SO far as titles TO water is con-
cerned is superior to that of any other
state, +. 81. Newell. director of the
United States Reclamation Service,
and chairman OF committee recent
ly appointed by the American Society
of Civil Engineers to prepare a Ma
tional water law, has obtained data
from John 81. Lewis, State Engineer,
Tor tie use OF the committee. MIR.
Lewis also is member Of the COM
mittee, and will furnish all insorm-
alton desired relative to the Oregon
system at meeting TO te held 10
Washington or New York next spring.
''I think the Oregon system will be
the basis of law which the commit.
tee will urge Congress to pass" said
Mr.. Newell. II excels in the deter
minatioon Of rights to water. the state
Water Board having the Say instead
of the courts, as In other states. In
California. for instance. more money
Is expended defending the rights and
titles to water than In building the
works.
"Beoause-o OF unstable titles TO water
in many states there has been loss
OF confidence in irrigation securities.
which should not be. The interstate
difficulties make national law al
most necessity. Our plan is for the
| appointment OF an administrative
board similar to the Interstate Com
merce Commission to handle all water
questions beyond the jurisdiction Of
| the states. II would adiudicate water
questions as the Interstate Commerce
Commission adjudioates Interstate
commerce. Federal permits would be
granted in cases where feasible and
just for land In one state 10 be water
ed with water from another, and the
system would rebound to the good Of
all the states where irrigation is prao-
tioable."
Mr.. Newell says the Federal gov
ernment is spending about $i.000,OO0
month on irrigation work, and that
the projects at Umatilla and klamath
Falls are bic success. He made an
inspection Of them on his present trip
through Oregon.
