NO FEATHERS AND TAR FOR HIM
Winlock Blacksmith Is In Jail Await
ina Trial.

W1NLOCK, March 24-Tar and
feathers were suggested as part of the
reception for Carl Alvord, the black
smith who eloped with Mrs. Adde
Downs, wife of the Methodist minis
ter here, when Alvord arrived home
from Spokane. But the pacific, ever
pleasant expression on the face of
the minister, who brought his errine
wife home on the same train, checked
any such demonstration.
The feelings of the people of Win
!ock were greatly enraged at the ac-
ton OF Alvord, who left a young wife
when clipping with the woman. and
became a mother in his absence Mrs.
Downs left a family of children as we'll
as her husband, who, she says. mis-
treated her The friendship between
the man and woman ripened through
thelr appearance in a church benefit
tableau, clasped in each others arms
AiVord is in Jail awaiting his trial.

Miss Crosby became blind in her in
fancy, owing to improper treatment
for a fever. When she was fifteen
years old she entered the New York

apt in her studies that she subsequent

Of rhetoric, English grammar. Greek
American, English and Roman history
in the institution.
While still a teacher she composed
songs, which We're set to mus c by
George F. Root. Among the best
known are "Rosalie, the Prairie Flow

World, I'm Going Home" The Hon

and The Pilgrim Fathers"

writing and since that time has writ
| ten nearly three thousand of them

writings has been felt in many lands

IN COURT WITHOUT TROUSERS
Victims Neither Garments Stolen
While He Sleeps

TACOMA. Wash. March 24.-In the
motley crowd of vags that were up
before Judge Griffin in the police
court Tuesday morning, was one man
clad in all the habiliments of civiliza-
tion except trousers. which some one
had stolen from HIM while he slept
The jailer gave the prisoner a safe
~ pin to fasten his coattails together,
in which rig he managed to pass par
2de. The unfortunate shivered with
the cold, and in muttered tones beg
ged for a horse blanket or an Indian
robe to wrap about his quaking knees
He said that he knew that he had
possessed q pair of pantaIoOnS no la
ter than yesterday, and that once,
several years ago, he had owned two
pairs.

VIII suggest changes which will clear
the way for the construction Of irri-
cation works in various parts of the
state, and that the legislature will
adopt their suggestions"
Mr. Newell was careful to say that
there Will be no stoppage Of prelimi-
nary work on the various projects in
the state of Washington" according
TO Washington writer The inves-
legations will be pushed, and plans
FOR works prepared with view to con-
struction, just as if there were MOTH
ing IN the way of actual construc-
ton. All this preliminary work takes
times, and it will probably be year

can be done without action by the

portunity to make it's Investigations.

governor, who can then make his re-
concentrations to the next legisla-

amendments to the state laws will be
enacted that will afford protection tn

eminent as we'll in the use of the wa

UNITED STATES WILL BEGIN
FIRST WORK IN STATE OF
WASHINGTON.
Preliminary Work on the Big lrriga
ton Project Is Not to Be
Delayed.

The Big Bend project" seems to be
slated for first place in the extensive
irrigation work to be performed by the
United States government in this
state. A report from the national
capital states that F. H. Newell. chief
engineer of the reclamation service,
received news of the appointment Of
an irrigation commission with much
satisfaction, and predicts that much
good will be done by that commission
in harmOnizing the differences De-
tween the state and federal laws re-
lating to control of irrigable lands.
Il have instructed Mr.. Noble. the
government engineer in charge of ma
tionel irrigation works in Washing
ton, to get in communication With the
commission" Mr.. Newell is quoted as
stating, and to cooperate with the
commission in every way. AS first
project will be prepared for submits
sion to the commission, in which all
the points at issue are involved. 1t
will probably be the Big Bend project
by which we propose to reclaim a
large section of land in the south
eastern part of the state by using the
water of the Snake and Okanogan
| rivers, and possibly divert the water
| from one into the other. Such diver
sion of water brings us to the primary
difficulty in the way Of government
use of water for irrigation.
The laws of Washington recognize
| riparian ownership along the waters
81 the state. That means that an
owner Of land living near the mouth
! of a stream may enjoin another fur
! Their up from diverting the water for
any purpose. In other words, it guar
2ntees to all owners the natural waite:
supply of a river and provides for
|
The national irrigation act provides
! that state laws shall govern in the
| construction of irrigation works in
| that it refers the federal government
| back to the state laws for the proteC-
| ton of water rights. With the owner
| along the lower river guaranteed in
| his rights, and the landowner along
another river whose waters we may
| divert. it will be useless to attempt
any actual construction work until the
state laws are amended so as to pro-
| tect the national government in its
investment. Under present conditions
md laws, should the government go
| ihead and construct expensive works
| in the Big Bend country, and use wa
er which somebody down stream
thought himself entitled to, he could
ret an injunction and stop the whole
proceeding. The government can not
undertake any work of that character
there will be no obstacle in the way.
and it will therefore be necessary to
change the state laws in several par
ticulars to meet the conditions. |
