MAY PLAY IMPORTANT PART IN
DECIDING THE WATER SUIT
AGAINST CITY
Amended Answer in Dement, Brothers
Company Suit Refers to Some
Ancient History.

Although it has been asserted time
after time that the money expended by
the city in development work at Thorn
as ranch three years ago was so much
money wasted such may not be the
case and the amount Of water de-
veloped at that time, while not very
great, it is true, may play an important
part in deciding the water suit began
by Dement, Brothers company against
the city of Walla Walla.
Sharpstein & Sharpstein and H. S.
Blandford, attorneys for the city, yes
terday filed an amended answer to the
complaint filed by the plaintiffs in
which it is asserted that if any por-
ton of the waters of Mill creek have
been diverted by the city Of Walla
upon the Thomas ranch a quantity of
water greater than the amount di-
verified, and turned said water, so de-
veloped, into the channel of Mill creek
at a point above Dement, Brothers
property and that the water so turned
into the stream is water which other
wise would have not gone into the
creek channel.
In the amended answer filed yester-
day the city denies that any water nat
urally flowed from the so-called Len
non springs, which mas been a point
in controversy, at any time, and de-
MES that the Lennon spring were, prior
to the excavations and developments
made by the old Walla Walla Water
company, furnishing any flowing
stream of water whatever, or that the
springs were anything other than a
small, marshy and Doggy piece of
ground.
The allegation made that the city is
carrying and sells tne waters of Mill
creek to the inlabitants of Walla Wal
la, is also denied the city alleges that
if the waters of Mill creek have been
diminished in quantity it has been
caused by people residing along the
banks of the stream using the same for
irrigating purposes. 1t is alleged that
the quantity of water so diverted has
increased from year to year, Which
greatly diminished the natural flow of
the stream.

Mrs. Smith S. johnson has lately
returned from Chicago where she ap-
peared many times before the exclu-

great range with that sympathetic
quality so necessary to popular sing
ers."-Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Small Apple Crop-Tne destructive
ness of the heavy frosts two weeks
ago on the apple crop. around Walla
Walla is becoming apparent since the
late rains and fruit men estimate that
only about one-fourth of the normal
crop will be picked this year. John
Brash, VINO owns a ten-acre orchard
on Pleasant street, just east Of the
city limits, harvested $500 worth of
fruit from his orchard last year, but
ne is of the opinion that ne will not
be able to harvest more than 800
worth this fall owing to the damage
done by the heavy frosts. The same
conditions prevail in nearly every
orchard around Walla Walla in conse-
uuence of which local commission
houses are of the opinion that Walla
WalIans will have to depend largely
upon outside districts for their apples
this winter.

y. S. Supreme Court Sup
ports Contention of st.
Bernard Company.

Washington, Jan. IS. The Su-
preme Court affirmed the decision Of
the district conrt Of the United
States for the Western District Of
Kentucky, in the case Of Madison
vile Traction Company VS.. the St.
Bernard Mining Company. thus sup
porting the contentious of the min
ing company. The case involved the
condemnation Of right Of way in
Hopkins county, Ky, but the court
gave practically all Of its attention to
a law point involved, which was the
right Of the Federal courts to take
cognizance of the case because of the
of some of the parties
to it, in the face of the fact that the
State laws give exclusive jurisdiction
in such cases to the county courts.
Today's decision sustains the claim
to Federal jurisdiction.

The judgment at Paducah this
week for.$25 600 against the 1. C.
Railroad, for the death of a young
woman who was killed while walking
on the railroads right of way, was
not only excessive but apparently
unjust. Railroads should be given
the same rights that private corpo-
rations are conceded. When one
jury in Kentucky gives a verdict of
only $4,000 for a conspiracy of indi-
viduals to commit deliberate muir
der, and another jury in the same
month gives $25, 900 damages against
q railroad for an accident on its own
property, that was seemingly una
vOidable, there is something radical
~ wrong either with the laws or
the juries. Why not eliminate pref
udice and try all such cases on their
merits?

A Presidents Mother

Madam Loubet, mother of the
President of the French Republic.
died this week aged SO years at her
little farmhouse, near Valence
where she was born in the reign of
Napoleon. She was unlettered and
poor and never visited larger city
than VaIence. Not even when her
son became President would she
leave her home to visit him in Paris.
Men of note from all over France
attended her funeral.
The antipathy displayed by Nine
Loubet to travel has counterpart
in this county. There is living in
the Northern part Of Christian coun-
ty an old lady, now more than 70
years of age, who has never been ten
miles from the place where she was
born. She has never been to Hop
kinsville and was never in town
larger than Kirkmansville. She
never heard a band play until a few
years ago when a band wagon cam
paign was made in North Christian.
Railroads, electric lights and three
story houses are wonders scarcely
dreamed of by this good old lady,
who is grandmother many times
