LAWS OF NATURE SUPREME
A Supreme Court Decision on Riparian
Rights
Superior to Them, Says Justice
Henshaw

SAN FRANCISCO, July 12.-The su-
preme court has decided that the laws of
nature are supreme and cannot be re-
versed by man. The decision is made IN
a Siskiyou county case concerning ripa-
rian rights. Parks creek had for many
years flowed over the property of l.. ].
CALDWELL and one branch of it passed on
tv the land OF James Wholey. In an ex-
traordinary freshet four years ago the bed
of the creek changed so that it left the
Wholey lands entirely. Wholey then sued
for the right to enter the Caldwell posses
sions an i turn back the water course to
the old channel. pleading grant of the
W aters accustomed to flow in the creek
branch. This right as granted to him
by the superior court. The supreme court
reverses this opinion and says:
The riparian. propretors' rights draw
their support from tue laws of nature,
but they do not rise superior to those
laws. When by their operation the flow
is lost, the right is lost with it. The new
channel itself becomes the natural
channel.
Judge Henshaw, who wrote the opin-
ion, illustrates the principle by saying
that if the stream had changed its course
a mile above the Wholey property. the
plaintiff could not expect to cut through
all the intervening land to bring the
water back.

THE CATCH OF THE SEASON.
The Lehua Returns Loaded With
Game.
(From special correspondent.)

(Erom special correspondent)
On Friday afternoon at 6 o'clock,
the Lehua left this port with jolly
good hunting party, the members
of which wanted to catch the fish
and shoot the game of the ever
genial Fred. Hayselden, who hap
pened to be "quarantined" in town,
and who as usually was ready to &C
commodate and welcome his sport
ing friends.
The steamer left and sportsmen
and their traps were on board. Old
shooting clothes had to be fumi-
gated and the boxes with "ammuni-
ton" were carefully inspected.
The steamer left, however, and
the rs "boys" on her claim that they
had most excellent time. Judge
Whiting was blooming with health,
General Neumann was happy (his
"cribs' were not to be despised) and
the whole gang we're ready for the
sporting work that may yet appear
on record in the American Field or
the Breeder and Sportsman.
Then we arrived off Lanai. The
weather up there was not very
pleasant. 1t rained enough to drown
the microbes Of Honolulu and we
wouldn't have been successful at all
| il the fish hadn't come around.
We divided then, Whitney, Lane,
Sproull, Sam Wilder, and George
Robertson went up with Hayselden,
and they had the best of us. Life
on Lana: is not for the ordinary
mortal. There is not better place
in this country, or better host
than the "boss" OF the island, but
we remained on board and "fished.'
Good heavens Didn't we fish.
