JOHN DAY DISTRICT
LEGALLY ORGANIZED

An opinion was handed down during
the past week by Judge Gilbert W.
Phelps, at Pendleton, upon the demurr-
er to the complaint in the suit of the
Northern Pacific Railway company, ct
al against John Day Irrigation Dis
trict ct al, in which the question Of
the legality of the organization is fully
lettied
Not having space to give the decision
in its entirety, but only to make re-
ference to it, we will say that 1t refers
to several points at issue in the COM
plant, first among them being the
question of constitutionality Of the act
under which the irrigation district was
formed, because,
l, it does not provide for uniform
rules of assessment and taxation, and
that it prevents assessment in proper
ton to benefits, and,
@ that it violates the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution of the
United States, because it attempts to
deprive compliments of property with
out due process Of law.
The court rules against the complain
ants on these questions, as well as a
number of other points on which the
legality Of the proceedings Of the di-
rectors of the district were attacked.
Some other phases of the suit which
are brought out in the demurrer are
touched upon by the decision and it
would appear that these would be al
lowed to stand. But as touching the
legality of the original organization
the decision is clear, while the motion
of defendants to strike parts of COM
plant attacking confirmation of later
acts and proceedings Of the directors
because of these same facts are involv-
ed in the petition for confirmation, are
passed without further consideration
The demurrer to the complaint is sus-
taned upon the ground that such al
legations Of fraud as are conclusions
rather than statements of fact, and be-
cause the complaint discloses upon its
face in connection with the exhibits q
legally constituted irrigation district

All the sheepmen In Morrow county
should know that danger Of scab Is
again menacing the industry and that
they cannot use too great care in pre-.
venting recurrence of this dread pla.
que.
Lake county is Just now menaced and
the State Veterinarian has compelled
the dipping of several bands Of sheep
and more are likely to follow.
This may seem long way from thi;
county but an infected trail or car will
do the trick and surely no sheepmar
wants to face the dipping watts on the
present wool market.
The only thing to do Is be eternall,
vigilant.

BILE. and Secretary Smead will also look
after this feature while away at this

Through cooperation between the
state engineer Of Oregon. the depart

Jointly borne by the states Of Oregon
and Washington and the Umatilla rap
ids power site association of which
Judge G. w. Phelps Is president.
1t is said the complete report may
not be ready for six or eight weeks yet.
The engineers have ascertained that a
head Of from rs to 80 feet of water can
be available at all stages Of the river
at Umatilla rapids and that more sum
mer power can be developed than will
De necessary Tor irrigation purposes.
Tentative figures indicate need OF
25OO60 horse power for irrigation
through pumping.
The report when completed will be
submitted under the auspices Of en-
gineers of the two states and 1t is pro-
posed to try interstate action somewhat
along the lines being followed by those
working for development Of the Color

\. A. c. FARM POINTERS

Cultivation Of the garden is neces-
sary to maintain in the soil supply of
air and moisture favorable to plant
growth Evaporation from the leaves
carries away hte moisture in the soil
about the plant The moisture will
rise to the surface through the parti-
cles of soil, as long as the ground con-
tains a supply Of water, thus keeping
the upper layers Of soil from drying
out.-o A, C, Experiment Station.
When irrigation is necessary in the
garden, an abundance of water should
be used to insure the thorough wetting
of the lower and outer roots Of the
plant To check evaporation after ir-
rigation the ground should be stirred
Just as soon as dry enough to work.

value to four pounds of beef or mutton,
