NORTHERN PACIFIC HEAD
 ATTACKS GOODlNG BILL

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb 20.-
 Enactment of the Gooding bill would not alter rates existing in the inter- for country, Charles Donneilv, pres ident of the Northern Pacific rail- road, ,oId the house co.rE.tlCe com mittee.
 Opponents of the measure con- tinued presentation of testimony with railroad men on the witness stand
 The bill, if enacted, MT. Donnelly said, would not make any difference in transcontinetal rates because sice 1918 the interstate commerce commission has not let the rail- roads make lower rates to the Paci- fic coast than charged to interior points because of the absence of wa ter competition by way of the Pan- anna canal during the war.
 Before the war he said Milwau- kee was able to ship washers to the west coast by rail in competition with those by water at $1 to Spo- kane and s1 to Seattle. Pittsburgh, he said, can get washers to seattle
 by water for 761a cents and Milwau- kee no longer is able to compete. The railroads, he declared, are asking for an S0-cent rate from
 Milwaukee to Seattle, in an effort to get some of the business now going by water This would not affect the Spokane rate, he added.
 The Gooding bill would result in disaster to the transcontinental rail- roads and have an adverse effect upon intermediate territory, w. P. Kenney, vice president and director of traffic of the Great Northern railway, said.
 It would place, in effect, he said, an inflexible rule which would gov ern for all time regardless of con- ditions and would prohibit the inter- state commerce commission from dealing with questions of relief to the rail carriers His railroad is subject also to competition with Ga nadian lines at Vancouver, B. C., MT. Kennedy said, which situation the proposed bill does not take into consideration The development of the interior cannot proceed without the railroads being given an oppor-
 tunity to handle business to the coast on a competitive basis, he con- tended.

Greenstein May Quit if
 Salary Is Not Raised

The requests for salary increases filed this year by Prosecutor Joseph G. Woods and Assistant Prosecutor William NJ. Grecnstcir will be based on a recently enacted ruling which restricts them from appearing m defense counsel in the state courts and unless an increase is allowed mo services of at least one of the ottl- cials will probably be withdrawn from the city.
 Prosecutor Grccnstcin, who now receives but $l,000 for tho office which restraints him from any other criminal court practice, feels the present compensation is not sutti- cicnt to offset the restriction the law now imposes. He has indicated q desire to withdraw unless additional pay is provided by the common council. He asks that the salary be set at $2,500.
 Prosecutor Woods asks an in crease from $2,5O0 to $3,500.

FERTILE VALLEY
 MAY NOT REMAIN
Western Area Likely to Revert
 to Desert Land

Bishop, Cal, Dec. 23 Rl-Owens Valley, cradled on the eastern slope of the high Sierras, once fertile productive region where cattle roam ed its grassy floor and fruits and grains grew In abundance, is threat. ened with return to the desert wastes from which hardy pioneers reclaim. ed 1t more than half century ago.
 Water, the perennial point of con trovorsy in the west, formerly flow. ed through Owens valley between the banks of the Owens river and into canals and ditches dug by the early settlers to irrigate the fields and orchards. Now it has been al. Vcrted into the Los Angeles aqueduct 10 supply the needs of the city, 225 miles southWard.
 Citizens of the valley declare the city used arbitrary methods to get the water, when, in 1905. an agent, alleged to have been disguised as a federal official, entered the region and made filings along the Owens river for some 40 miles. His filings included storage rights which the valley people had give nback to the government in exchange for what they understood to be project to reclaim 150,000 acres of the desert stretches.
 The agent, they say, later proved to be employed by the city of Los Angeles Instead of the reclamation project, the city announced plans to build an aqucduct and carry the Wa ter southward.
 During the four years of drought that followed the first land acquisi- tion, the city negotiated with ranch" CTS for rights along canals and ditches, and soon obtained virtual control Of one of the larger canal systems. Its waters were diverted into the aqueduct, leaving adjoining ranches arid.
 Resentment, generated through the years, found a climax the night of May q, 1924, when 40 or 50 raiders dynamited the huge concrete headgates, near the first large rescr' voir at Haiwee. No arrests were made, however and the explosive, dcftly placed failed to damage the auueduct materially. Investigators believed it an act of warning rather than Q move to cripple the water system.
 Late in November the same year an open demonstration of protest was made when scores of the ranch CTS seized the Alabama waste gates GO miles south of Bishop. and open ed them, allowing the stream to flow into the parched bed of the Owens river.
 The valley is approximately 100 miles long and varies in width from five to fifteen miles. Ii has popu- lation of S,00o including the four principal towns, Lone Pine, lnde- pcndence. Big Pine and Bishop.

Doyle of the public charities department declared that he will not allow Helen Andresik, aged Ii, to return to her home, 2S0 Elm street, in the event the child should recover.
