 Mir. Buckman says that by the time the committee arrives he thinks it can be treated to the sight of seeing the water turned into the canal from the Truckee river.
 From tine advices he has received iron Washington, Mir.

SALT COMPANY SUES FOR BIG
 DAMAGES
Wants $87 ,O00 From California De- veIopment Company for Damage Done by Waste Water to Salt
 Works, Injunction Asked for

A suit of great importance has been filed, in which the New Liverpool Salt Company of Salton, Riverside county, sues the California Development Com pany for $S7 900 and asks for an order restraining defendants from running waste waters into the lands of plaintiff corporation.
 The complaint which comprises eight typewriter pages, sets forth the fol- lowing allegations:
 The plaintiff is engaged in the busi- ness of mining, gathering and refining salt and has sheds, warehouses and mill, between 700 and 800 feet long, OH section IA, township south. range 10 east, and owns besides several other sections in the vicinity which are of great value because of their salt de- posits.
 That the Colorado river, carrying many thousand second feet of water does not flow naturally upon or near plaintiffs lands.
 That defendant has for more than year past been diverting the waters of the Colorado river and carrying them to Calexico and has constructed on the Colorado river three intakes for the purpose of diverting the water of the river into canals.
 That the lands of plaintiff are situ- ated in the Salton sink, 2S0 feet below sea level, and because of the contour of the land all water corried by defendants canal finds it's way through the various waste and distributing canals and water courses to the Salton sink and lands of plaintiff.
 That defendant has for the past six months been diverting and distributing a stream between 300 and 500 cubic feet per second, in addition to the amount used for irrigation or that is absorbed or evaporated, and that this amount is continuously pouring into the Salton sink, producing a lake over 20 miles in length and several miles in width and have over1owed and covered all of section 23 and large portion of section l5, belonging to plaintiff, This would extend further but for the fact that dyke has been built by plaintiff around its mill, in which crew of men is constantly at work in the preservation of the dyke.
The Imperial press., 1905-03-25

That the amount of water Tn the lake is constantly increasing and if the in- crease be not checked will overflow the dyke and food the ground abOut the buildings and render their foundation insecure, besides rnining many thOus- and tons of salt piled OH the ground in- side of the dyke.
 That the water carries large quantities of sand, silt and mud which cover up the salt and render it impure.
 That the railroad running from the mill southerly for distance of three miles has been entirely covered by the overflow water.
 That the lake will disappear if no more water is diverted from the river to the lake. If this IS not done the plaintiff alleges will suffer damage in the sum of $2OO,OOO.
 The complaint further alleges that plaintiffs railway has been damaged to the amount of $6000, and that 15,O00 tons of salt were destrOye ed of value of $25,OOO. The damage to lands and salt beds is estimated at $50,00O, and plaintiff has expended $6000 on it's dyke.
 In conclusion the plaintiff company seeks to perpetually enjoin defendant from diverting any of the waters of the Colorado river in any way whatever so that they shall flow on lands of plaintiff, unless it sball construct suitable head works and headgates so that the water shall not flow in excess of the amount required for irrigation.
 Pending the trial an interlocutory decree of court is asked for restraining defendants until the further order of the court. I'm conclusion $87 ,000 is asked for damages already suffered.
 Purdell Rowe and Jndge J. w. Me- Kinley are attorneys for plaintiff.
 The complaint is accompanied by affidavits of Civil Engineers Duryea, Sherman. Dubbers and Evans, relative to inspections that they have made of the head works and canals of the de- fendant company supporting the con- tentions of the salt company.-River- side Press.

HAPPY RESULTS.
Have Made Many Milford Residents
Enthusiastic.

No wonder scores Of Milford citizens
grow enthusiastic. 1t is enough to
make anyone happy to find relief after
years Of suffering. Public statements
like the following are but truthful rep
reservations of the daily work done in
Milford by Doan's Kidney Pills.
]. H. Griffith, well known farmer
living one mile north Of Milford on the
Frederica Road, says; "When a boy
sixteen years old suffered a severe ac-
cident. The cider press fell on me in
juring my back, and ever since have
suffered attacks Of backache. L never
knew when a sudden stitch would
catch me, and sometimes the attacks
lasted for a day or even for week.
When suffering in this way was un-
able to pick up anything from the
ground. I would have to work myself
down gradually, and then it was just
as difficult to straighten up again. l
always thought the trouble was with
my kidneys, and when 1 saw DOan's
Kidney Pills advertised and so highly
recommended, 1 sent to DR.. g. W.
Pleasanton's drug store for box. They
brought satisfactory results, and it is
with great confidence that I recon-
mend this effective remedy to others.n

MUST HAVE INSPECTION CERTIFICATE.
Navigation Not To Be Permitted Unless
Vessels Are in Satisfactory Condition.

Washington. Aug 26.-TheI Department Of Com
merce and Labor has issued order 70 steamboat
inspectors stopping the improper custom OF per-
hitting the navigation OF vessels pending the max
ing of repairs ordered by the inspection service
Hereafter such navigation is forbidden until after
the issuance of formal new certificate showing
the vessel to be in satisfactory condition
In circular letter to each Of the ten supervising
inspectors the department calls attention TO the
fact that inspector has any power TO allow a
vessel TO navigate without having her certificate
of inspection board. The department calls at
enton also to the fact that there is reasonable
occasion for any such irregular action inasmuch
vessels allowed by the present rules to apply
for inspection sixty days before the expiration OF
their certificate and IL is thus easily posi-
BILE for the vessel to have the inspection made at
a sufficient time before the expiration of her
certificate all possible delay in the making
of repairs and additions and in the forwarding OF
the certificate through the collector of customs
The department emphasizes the fact that the re-
OF the inspection law. and that permission. writ
verbal the part of inspectors, can take
its place, and that any continuance OF this custom
by the inspectors will be grounds for prompt and
severe action by the department. both as regards
the inspectors and regards the vessel
Supervising inspectors are directed to bring this
matter to the attention Of the inspectors under
them and also to the attention OF masters and own
of vessels I'm their districts
