AYERS FOR GOVERNOR.

Two republican conventions
were held in the city of Little

placed Hon. Harry H. Myers in
the field for governor. The SIN

yention, but did not nominate a
candidate for governor, nor en-
dorse Myers, leaving the insurg-

The Crafty Farmer.

1t appears that an old farmer

small stones, with which he
shed to fill a ditch, but he had
ready got about as much work

,.g to do, especially as it was
airing the hour of a ball game.
le old man was bound to have
70 stones moved, anyhow, and so,
, etending to have discovered a
st of snakes, began stoning the
ace where the snakes were alleg-
to be. The boys, who d few
nutes before were weary and
tless, were now all life and am
ion. Each threw stones as fast
he could grab them, and the
g was soon in the ditch. There

owners and their attitude are accepted

be reconsidered has now disappeared,

termination to fight the matter to the

WATER DEAL ON
UP RARITAN RIVER.
New York Syndicate Buying up
Several Water Plants Near
sOmsrvilIe.

That the way is being paved for the
formation Of Il gigantic combination that
aims to control the water supply Of the
several towns ON the upper Raritan river
Is evidenced by the appearance of a my
FERROUS New York syndicate, which t-
oeen negotiating for the purchase OF uii-
ferent mills and waterways along tho
Raritan River, west of Somcrville.
Recently Henry j. Shuhert, of New
| York, purchased the waterways at Black
| River Falls, and last week he purchased
a number of shares of the Somervillf
| Water Company stock at $40 per share.
The par value of this stock was $25 pei
share. Shubert offered to pay $40 for all
shares presented at the Bank of Manhat-
tan, 40 Wall street, before August /.
1t is believed that there is a movement
on foot to buy up all the water companies
between Plainfield and Somerville and
combine with the Union County Water
Company, which is owned by Senator
John Kean. This would give one con-
Germ full control of the water supply Of
all central New Jersey towns between
Raritan and Elizabethport, a distance of
thirty miles. Despite the syndicate's ex-
~tensive purchases, it can not use all the
water of the Raritan hereabouts until 1t
absorbs the water rights of the Raritan
Water Power Company, which Is owned
by James b. Duke, who owns a 20, 900
acre estate. Mr.. Duke is now excavating
for a number of large lakes on his estate,
which are to be filled with water from
the Raritan, and it is well known that
his water rights are not for sale. There
is a growing suspicion that Mr.. Duke is
back of the alleged New York syndicate.

CAME DOWN TO SEE BUGS
Owing to Rain They We're in
Hiding

Prof A. b. Cordley, entomologist
of the State Agricultural college,
passed through Grants Pass Tuesday
on his way to Corvallis from Jackson
willie, where he had been to examine
the condition of some Asiatic lady
bugs that he planted last year in an
abandoned orchard in p. Britts
pasture, near that town, but owing to
the day being cold and rainy, he could
find no trace Of tie bugs. These bugs
in their native haunts feed upon the
San Jose scale and the department Of
agriculture is introducing them into
the United States in the expectation
that they will eradicate this pest
which is causing such damage TO the
fruit industry Of the country. The
department sent Prof. Cordley 80 Of
the beetles and 30 Of them survived
the journey from Washington, where
the department is breeding them, and
were brought to Rogue river valley,
the professor counts the conditions
more favorable to their survival than
in any other section Of Oregon.

WALDO'S BIG MINING SUIT
Testimony Being Taken Before
Reporter Calkins.

Litigation pertaining 10 water
rights is coming to be a matter OF
much importance in the court pro-
ceedings in Southern Oregon, and
with the rapid increase in the de-
mands for water for irrigation and
mining the value of water rights will
steadily enhance and the contest for
their control will be the more closely
drawn. The principal cause for this
great amount Of litigation over water
rights are the loose laws that have
been in effect under which these
rights were acquired. The provisions
Of the state law were so indefinite
that water right could be expanded
as occasion might require to the
serious detriment of other users, or a
new right acquired that would in
fringe on prior right
A water right suit is now pending
in the circuit court for Josephine
county, the rulings ON which
will have an important bearing
ON the relative rights Of water owners
or those wishing to securo water
rights. This case is that Of an ac-
tion brought by Simmons, Logan &
Cameron 10 restrain the Deep Gravel
Mining Company from using the
amount of water that the latter
claim they are entitled to use. Both
rights are for mining purposes and
tho bitches Of both companies are
located near Waldo and take water

& Cameron being taken up In the
