WATER STORAGE COMMISSION
A Meeting Held Yesterday and Chas.
Goldman Elected President

The water storage commission held
a meeting yesterday at which much
routine and some important special
business was transacted. There are so
many water organizations and COM
mittees here now they are sometimes
confusing to the reader. The one in
question is the county commission ap-
pointed by the judge Of this district
and the personnel is w. d. Fulwiler,
Charles Goldman, Dwight b. Heard
and Neils Peterson. ]. T. Priest was
a member and president at the time
of his death a few months ago. At
yesterdays meeting Charles Goldman
was elected president to succeed Mr..
Priest.
\ considerable amount of routine
business was also transacted.
The most important matter under
discussion, however. was that of the
options secured on private holdings in
the Tonic reservoir basin through the
cooperation of Mr. Davis who was
present at yesterdays meeting and
made a short talk. These options were
secured before settlers placed an ex-
orbitart price on their holdings and
first payment was made. They were all
checked up and everything found to be
correct so far. The examination of
titles is now proceeding and when
everything is found satisfactory they
will be turned over to the government
to make final payment and receive
titles. Fourteen of the options have
been secured and a few others are I'M
der consideration.

Periodically something occurs to raise
again the question whether St. Patrick
really did make a decree banishing
snakes from Ireland. Naturalists have
no superstitions about such an edict
Ireland and Britain long ago were one
land; they then were seperated by the
sea, then reunited for short time, and
finally the sea parted them once more.

the Emerald Isle was cut off from Eng

from the Continent
Mammalia and reptiles travelled
westward, ard thus it is found that
while Germany has "a species of NAM
