Irrigation Firm
Not Regarded as
Public Utility

The Central oregon Irrigation COM
pany is not a public untility and the
state public service commission has no
jurisdiction to change the terms of the
contract between the company anu
state officials governing the furnishing
of water to settlers on his Carey act
project for irrigation purposes. An
opinion to this effect was handed down
by Attorney General Brown Monday,
for the information of the public serv-
ice commission to which the central
Oregon company had applied for an
increase in water rates.
THE Central Oregon Irrigation com
pany is no a public utility for any pur-
pose insofar as the lands within the
Carey act project are concerned and I
do not believe that the state, through
any action which it may take, whether
by constitutional amendment or by
statutory enactment. can, without the
consent of the settlers alter the rates
to be charged for water" Browns $
opinion reads.
"The purpose of the Carey act and
the action of the state officials charged
with the duty OF seeing that Its pro-
visions were carried out was to insure
water to the lands which were brought
under irrigation and the furnishing of
water to such lands within the project
cannot be considered as the supplying

1t promises to be record breaker in

than any other republican convention
since Garfield was nominated In 1880
before the party standard bearer is

Leader Stiil Minus.
There is still such complete abb
sence of bosses as to leaye the conven-
tion leaderless. Chieftains who spoke
with authority in the days gone by are
standing on the side lines having a
chuckle while delegates go through the
experience of having peoples con-
vention.'
The situation presents an opportun-
ity for some shrewd leader to step for
ward at the psychological moment and
invite a stampede. Practical politici-
ans agree that an unled convention Is
an easy mark for a runaway.
A glance at convention records,
since Lincoln was nominated In 1860
discloses the unusual prospects for tne
present one. In these conventions the
