IRRIGATION LAW
TO BE OPPOSED
HARDSHIP WORKED LOCAL SYSTEM
Directors Of Hood River Irrigation District
Believe that Bills Passed by Legisla-
ture Should Be Contested

1t is very probable that the recently
passed bill, providing for a change i'm
the administration Of bonded irrigation
systems in the state of Oregon, will be
contested by the Hood River Irrigation
District in so far as that district is
concerned. At the time of the passage
OF the law the Hood River bonded dist
rict was the only one that had bond
issue outstanding, and it is held by
Judge A. j. Derby, the attorney for
the district, that the law will not ap-
ply to the local district, since il will
impair the contracts that the district
has outstanding.
Under the old law the district had
its own collector and assessor. l.. 4.
Dart was collector Of the system. The
assessments were collected in Deeem-
Der and were available for the January
payments of interest on bonds. Now
the sheriff collects the assessments in
April and October, and thus the inter-
est payments of January and Julylare
both defaulted. Each interest payment
of the district amounts to $4,000 and
the question of the assessments of the
property in the big district is an i'm
puINdut OHts
The district sent lobbyists to the
legislature last winter, and after the
passage of the bill Governor West was
urged to veto it because of the hard
ship 1t would work on the district with
its outstanding bonds. However, he
refusd the veto and now the board of
directors think that the determination
as to how the district shall act should
be left to vote of the property hold
ers, and mass meeting has been
called for Friday evening, June q, at
the East Barrett school house. The
citizens of the West Side, who are
supplied with water from the system
are taking great interest in the mat
ter and the meeting will undoubtedly
be well attended. 1t is very propbable
that the board of directors will be in
strueted to test the validity of the law
in so far as the local district is con-
cerned. The board is composed of f.
b. stanton, pres. r. w. Kelly, A. o.
Anderson, Frank Fenwiek and Il. W.
Sweaney.

CLANT0N HERE TO
PUT in FISH WAY


f. r. Clanton, master fish warden of
the state. who resides in Portland,
came up Tuesday to make an inspec-
tion of the dam of the Pacific Power Il
Light Go. on the Hood river and to get
ready to have new fish way con-
structed there. The old fish way is not
suitable for the larger fish that come
to the smaller stream from the Colum-
bia in the early spring, and only allows
the trout to pass up stream. The State
Fish Commission is using every means
to better conditions in Hood river. A
dam to divert the flow of the river
from newly cut channel to the old
channel which will empty into the
Columbia in down stream course is
now being built. This work was begun
last fall and as result of it more
steelhead and salmon were caught in
the local waters this year than on any
previous season for many years. How
ever, on account of the poor fishway,
the big fish were unable to 90 above
the dam.
Mr.. Clanton has made many friends
here because of his efforts to improve
the stream, and he was met at the train
Tuesday by Burnette Duncan, member
of the State Fish Commission, ID. Me
Donald, j. NJ. Schneider, w. l..
Clark, r. +. Scott and Joe d. Thomi-
son. The party proceeded to the Hotel
Oregon, where luncheon was enjoyed.

0. A. c. STUDENTS
RETURN HOME

The following students returned home
from the Oregon Agricultural College
at Corvallis last week end: Waldo
Arens, Floyd Nunamaker, X. G. Man
ming, Ray Nickelsen. Forrest l.. Moe,
and Misses Roberta Friday, Eva Boyed.
Helen Cox, Addie Freeman. Edyth
Brunquist, Ruth Morrison and Gladys
Woodworth.
Several other o. A. G. students, who
do not live here. will work in the val
ley during the summer. Six of them
will work for A. !. Mason, three for +.
2. Friday and several for Cutler Bros.
Among them are Messrs. Doerner,
Hill. Schuster. Mehl, Whitehouse,
Gooding and others.
Students have been leaving the col
lege in many ways, among which were
railroad, steamboat, as pedestrians, on
motorcycles, in automobiles and in ca
noes. Messrs. Miller, Moe. Hill and
Doerner padded from Corvallis to
Portland in two canoes. The first
named lives in Portland, the second in
Hood River and the last two will work
in the valley this summer. The boys
left Corvallis Thursday afternoon and
it required exactly two days to make
the trip. They report having ''the ride
of their lives. They camped on the
bank at night.
Many thrilling encounters were had
on the way, but neither canoe tipped
over once nor hit any rocks. although
they had several narrow escapes. The
only portage they made was at Oregon
City. around the Willamette Falls.

NEW WILLOW FLAT
GRADE COMPLETED

A new grade has been completed by
Road Supervisor Harry Furrow and
his crews of men from the end of the
old straight grade across the property
of the Davidson Fruit Co., and strik
ing the old road again at a point
north of the home Of Frank Massee.
The old road was very difficult in places
and had a grade of % per cent in
places. The new road is in no place
more than eight per cent.
"Mr. Furrow is making numerous
road improvements" says F. A. Mas
see, who was in the city Saturday and
who began the petitions last year for
the change of the route.
The old route will be partially aban-
doned. However, it will continue open
to point where it turns south over
the old Massee hill grade. in order that
way may be given property owners
