WATER RIGHTS iNvIoLATE,
Springs and Wells I'm Palestine Are
Protected by severe Laws

rprtnHn ana Wells In Palestine Are
Protected by severe Laws
Water is the most precious thing in
Palestine. ana the laws which protect
springs and wells are very severe
Most OF the wells ara artificial Rich
men at very great expense have CHS
eted basins and reservoirs out OF the
rocks to receive the How from springs.
and In many places where no springs
could be found they have drilled
through the limestone a hundred feet
and sometimes twice that distance 10
the artesian basin.
None but very rich sheIks can AFFORD
such an expenditure. Nevertheless,
they have not only been the greatest
benefactors of their fellow men, but
those who have sunk wells and built
fountains have erected monuments to
their fame more enduring than palaces
or temples or shafts OF granite.
The temple OF Solomon has vanished
forever. but the pools which he walled
up with masonry and filed with water
still remain. The wells that Abraham
aud Jacob drilled I'm the rock as acts
or piety as well as power are as i'm
mortal as their names and Will live for
ever as long as men feel thirst.
According 10 Just custom OF the
country, water rights could never be
forfeited. No man who owned a well
might refuse his neighbor water for
his family or his fiocks. but the lord
OF the spring was invlolate. No cred
itor or enemy could take his water
rights away from him. TO injure or
I'LL up well was an objectionable
crime. When the Philistines threw
earth and stones into the we'll OF Abra-
ham. they intended to challenge him
TO war OF determination. These GUS
toms and regulations remain today.

demolished, lumber and house

the cotton patch for l / mile.

there and | confess that it was
as complete wreck as l ever
witnessed. All the household
goods seem TO be as much a
wreck as the house. Luckily
no one was seriously hurt. Mrs.

we hope is not serious. Morton

Large Lumber Bill.

at costs "a minute to supply
the Southern Pacific railroad with
lumber"
This startling piece Of statistical
work has been figured out by rep
resentative Of one Of the greatest
lumber journals and by him eommu-
nioated to Mr.. Mayo, head of the
literary bureau Of the railroad con-
cerned. It was given out by that
gentleman recently.
The expense Is indicative of the
immense cost Of operating the sys-
tenn. The cost Of lumber is perpet-
ual. Ties, cars, bridges, trsstles and
station work is going on continually
that requires thousands Of feet Of
timber Of all sorts and kinds and
prices. The statement may seem
preposterous, but Is given out as au-
thoritative.
Two hundred and forty dollars
every hour Of the day and every
day Of the year amounts up to an
immense sum, but that is what it is
said to cost the Southern Pacific for
lumber alone.

the camp tender for Hiram Ballan-

He had been complaining to. his
camp companions that he was not
feeling well for three days, and only
short time before he died he had
put on his clothes and left the tent.
On returning he went to bed. On
failing to receive any answer to
their questions, his friends went to
his bedside and found him dead. He
