the canal is only the means by which their water is delivered to them.
 From this it follows that the so-called contest between the canals, should in fact be contest as to who have been prior appiopriators and continuous users of water, regardless of the canal through which they now recieve their water, subject to limitation, as to the quantity necessarily used, and the date of additions, if any, to such use. In other words it is not canal fight, but an individual contest as to individual prior appropriation and use of water. We are aware that our views on this subject are liable to severe criticism of canal owners, the bar, and that very likely some of the honorable judges may differ from us, but we believe that on final determination of the rights of water for irrigation purposes, it will be found that the above will be the law as enforced.
 Suppose John Doe was the undisputed prior appropriator and bonafide user of water on section of land, that he, un- der the Act of March 3, 1877, had proved up on, and received United States patent for. Having admitted that he was the prior appropriator and user of water to his section, it follows that all others must take their water subject to his prior rights. There is no restriction in the law as to how or where he shall take his water from the river. He is therefore. at liberty to receive it by any channel he sees proper, provided, in so doing, he injures no one.
 It might be through the canal latest constructed, or the oldest constructed, or to continue through his own ditch. This being so of John Doe, Richard Roe and all the others follow in order of priority of appropriation and use, down to the latest appropriator and user of water.
 N. B.-Let the Jack-leg lawyers and ths ignorant editors take notice that the United States has already said that "The water of all lakes, rivers and all sources of water supply upon the public lands, and not navagable, shall remain and be held free for the appropriation and use of the public, for irrigation, min ing and manufacturing purposes, sub feet to existing rights. ."-.See Act March 8, 1877.

A DELAY in negotiating our Territorial bonds has been occasioned by the ques- tion having arisen as to whether or not the Congressional act which says Gre deemable after twenty years at the op- tion of the Territory" is to be inserted in the bond, or whether the act of the late Legislature providing a sinking fund "after fifty years" abrogat-s the twenty year clause. It is claimed that If the twenty year clause is to hold good that the bonds are not worth over 90 cents or about 10 per cent less. Marcus A. Smith is the one whom the Ter ritory has the right to call to account for the twenty year clause. In fact, ex- cept for our active work it would have been ten years, that being Mark Smiths amendment and it delayed the passage 1i tho low tw". sNN~.h" rhS ~ri"i"ol bill as presented by us called for a straight fifty year bond. The most in- significant member of Congress can de- lay the passage of law and often ob- tain injurious amendments, but the same individual may have as blank record for good as Mark Smith has.

To say what goes on between decks
would be to tell the story of the dispo-
sitions and natures of those who go down
to the sea In ships. Some man dances
and he always finds mate who IS ready
to pat for him, or, better still, to play the
banjo or accordion. Some men sing, and
singing Is always ss pleasant aS on the wnsr
and reverential awe for him who can
bring forth sweet sounds, either by voice
or instrument, writes Henry l.. Nelson in
Hdrpers Bd<dr. So you shall see him
when the ships band practices gather
forward to listen to the attempts of the
official musicians to master something
against the next dance that the officers
will give when they reach port.
some e Of : them tell Incredible S yarns s to
credulous youngsters. All Of them enjoy
themselves, and all outbreaks are pre-
vented by the marine on duty.
What sailors do on board ship has been
often told. They play and work. They
eat in groups or messes, each mess having
its cook, who Is not really cook, but
caterer who is paid by the men for look
. extras, or ''shore grub" which consists OF
both necessaries and luxuries that are not
included in the Government ration.
Life between-decks includes also that
of the officers, but it is only the present
system of officers messes OF which it Is
worth while saying much. Officers are
very much like men Of their clfss every
where, and most Of them are at times
dreadfully. bored ct sea when they are
not actually on duty. They can read,
and they can write In diary, or get their
mails ready, and they can talk and play
cards; but talking and playing. cards for
three years with the same SGT Of men are
conducive to yawning.
The wardroom officers, over whom the
executive officer presides, have decidedly
the best of the captain and admiral, for
they have some society, and even quarrel
some. society is preferable in certain
But the captain keeps to his apartment,
which is guarded by the orderly, and
both he and the admiral are surrounded
by o mass Of chilly etiquette. When the
captain grows tired Of reading he can
smoke. and console himself with the re-
Election that when he is admiral he will
have his staff mess with him. When he
grows weary of rejecting ON the glories
Of admiralhood he can play solitaire, and
when he 10 tired of that he can denounce
his own idiocy in yielding to such an
amusement
The wardroom officers mess together.
| The captain messes alone and the admiral
messes alone. Sometimes the captain and
| the admiral live very much together
Usually their quarters, which are in the
stern OF the ship, are so arranged 80 they
can be thrown into one set of apartments
The admiral and his fleet captain ought
| certainly be on such terms OF friendship
that living together would be a pleasure
| But there have been instances where Q
| short experience at sea has been quite
enough to master what had seemed to bt
friendship ashore, and to effectually
close the door between the cabins of thu
admiral and the captain. Then the two
would not speak until the end of tn,
cruise If they were compelled to remain
| together for SO long time

A STUBBORN NEGRO.
In He'd Twenty-Seven Years, Though
Not Physically Disabled.

In He'd Twenty-Seven Years, Though
Not Physically Disabled.
One of the most remarkable illustra-
lions Of the power of the human will is
John Bond, negro about 90 years old,
lain in bed for nearly twenty-seyen years.
When quite q young man he, with his
mother and two sisters, lived on farm
near Paoli, Ind. The mother determined
to sell the farm and move to Mitchell.
This plan met with great opposition from
the son, who declared II the farm was
sold he would go to bed and never get up.
No attention was paid to his threat, and
the farm was sold and the family moved
here.
On the night of their arrival John went
TO bed as usual, but when morning came
he refused to get up. No amount Of per-
euasion, threats or entreaties could get him
out of bed, and for twenty-seven years he
has stubbornly carried out his threat of
not arising, with one exception, that
being the death of his mother a few years
ago. About midnight, as the neighboring
women were watching the 2, corpse, they
Of John, making most ghostly appear
ance, all draped in white and his face as
ghastly as that of dead man, Some Of
them, not being aware of his existence,
thought they were being visited by sure
enough spook.
When Re first took to his bed the case
caused great deal of comment. Physi-
clans examined him and pronounced him
in perfect health. But all means which
were used to raise him proved failures.
An alarm of fire and a cry Of burglars had
no effect on him whatever. As time has
passed the people have lost interest in his
case and are only reminded of his exist
ence by seeing him carried on a stretcher
to the polls on the occasion of some i'm
portant election. In the last few years his
health has been gradually failing him and
he lies In bed, his head and body COM
completely covered, and speaks to no one
unless spoken to. and then he answers
all questions as intelligently as any one.
