KEFLY IS DENIED

The motion OF Lee Roy. f.. Keeley,

by the Oregon supreme court this

Kelley who has been practicing law
In Oregon for the past year on a ss-i-

notoriety throughout Oregon through
his attack on the state industrial acct

His motion to make his temporary
permit permanent was objected to by

gon Bar association In series OF A..
legations attacking Keeley's moral
character and his experiences In ,ynir-

TO sustain the specific allegations
against Kelley but also failed to rec
ommend his admission to the Oregon
bar which recommendation liz usually
regarded as requisite to favorable
action by the supreme court.

PERMIT TO DEVELOP
BIG POWER SITE ON
SANTIAh IS ASKED

Evidently sensing the vast possibil.
tiles in the unused water power OF
the Santiam river and its tributasies
In the eastern part of Marion county
Chas. ]. Schnabel of Portland today
filed with State Engineer Cupper an
application, the approval of which
will grant to him the water rights at
Niagara on the North Fork of the
Santiam, regarded as one of the most
valuable power sites in western Ore
gon.
According to Schnabers application
he seeks to appropriate 600 second
feet OF water from the North Fork OF
the santiam at Niagara for the pur-
pose Of developing 651f horsepower
for the development of electricity for
power and lighting purposes. This
development, he states, would in
volve the construction of canals and
the laying Of pipe lines at a total ex-
penditure Of approximately $500, 600.
Legislation now pending in con-
gress effecting the development of
power sites has created a great deal
of interest in water rights on Ore
gon streams within the past few
weeks as evidenced by the numerous
applications filed with the state en-
gineer's office. 1t is not expected that
Schnabel will proceed with the de-
velopment of the Niagara project at
this time but he merely desires to Sc
cure possession of the site pending
the time when there will be a de-
mand for this power which will make
the development justifiable.
