Praise for the Living

Dear Aunt Jennie:-The hardest
thing I have ever tried to understand
is the human being. And so often
we are deceived when we think we
have learned one thoroughly
Just think for a moment: Did you
ever know a person so good that he
or she did not have a fault? Be it
ever so small, we can find it. Then
on the contrary, did you ever see one
so bad he did not have some good
qualities?

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

There r so many of us waiting
for spring to begin our sewing. Now,
don't you think that it would be
wiser to start now? Many garments
can be made and laid aside until
then. If We do this we will find that
when the buds are bursting and ma
lures concert begins, we will have
more time to enjoy the music.
We know, of course, that shirt
waists will be worn this season, and
there will be only a little difference
from those of last year. The sleeves
will be much fuller and hand en-
brodiery will be extensively employ
ed as trimming. Skirts will be full.
sometimes measuring ten and twelve
yards at the lower edge. All the COM
mon waists can be made now, and.if
you intend embroidering a front, or
indeed any part of a costume, there
will be no better time for that work
than now while you must needs stay
indoors by the fire.
Those collars and handkerchiefs
you had planned to make for summer
use can be made now and all the
white sewing done. If these things
are not done before April arrives,
you will be hurried, and when the
dresses are to make, you will be too
tired to enjoy the job. Besides, the
garden will need your attention, and
the flowers will be reckoning your
aid in moving to permanent quarters
for the summer display of their
beauty.
Patience is with us, and we appre-
ciate her words of encouragement.
Am sorry you failed to meet Search
Ward" We should like to have one
of his interesting letters, for it has
been some time since he has honored
us with a visit.
We have the pleasure of enrolling
another boy this week. We are glad
to have you with u.s., Robert, and
hope to hear from you often. There
is no solace like contentment with
ones lot.
Nellie truly says that we should
be kind to the living. "Neyer speak
i'll of the dead" seems a veritable
motto with a great many persons;
and ALWAYS speak i'll of the living"
is quite as popular with a great
many others. Now this is not right
we should laud the good and condemn
the wrong while the person lives and
there is yet time for repentance.
Death does not make US perfect, and
long obituary notices will not unlock
the gates of the Eternal City.

islature as embodying the sentiments
of the people interested in irrigation in
the Yakima valley.
There is a lingering doubt in the minds
of some whether, under the guidance
of the gentleman prevailed at last
nights meeting, North Yakima, by op-
posing the proposed code Is not about
to cut of ncr nose to spite her face.
The Herald believes that the majority
report Of the committee should have
been adopted and will be most accept
able to the farmers of the valley. II was
noted that at the meeting last night the
only farmers who spoke, including the
delegates from tine Sunnyside, favored
on the whole the adoption of the bill as
reported by the irrigation commission,
while those who most bitterly attacked
the bill were the prominent corpora
ton lawyers of this city. These two
facts are significant and worthy Of con.
sideration. In our next weeks issue
will appear an article setting forth at
length Mr.. Bridgeman's comments on
the bill and the bugbears raised in op-
position thereto, which every farmer
and irrigator of the Yakima should
study carefully.

ADOPTED SUBSTITUTE
FOR COMMISSIONS BILL
Mass Meeting in Commercial Club Rooms
Last Night Voted for the Adop-
ton of Substitute.

Nearly one hundred and fifty gentle.
men were present at the mass meeting
last night, the second neld to discuss the
irrigation code prepared by the commits
sion appointed by Gov. Mcbride, and
which is to be presented to the legisla-
ture for enactment during the present
session. The first meeting held last
Thursday night was an informal one. but
the ideas of many who attended it, not
to say of some who spoke upon the
proposed law, were somewhat vague. AT.
ter Mr.. Bridgeman of the commission had
read the important paragraphs of the
bill, and explained them fully, a discus
sion followed. With each successive
speech the people got further and fur.
Their away from the object of the meet
ing, until Mr.. Fechter cleared matters
up by moving that committee be ap.
pointed from this city to confer with
a like committee from other places in
the county, make suggestions and indi-
cate improvements in the bill, all the
committees to report at the same place
on last evening. The motion carried,
and Chairman Larsen appointed on the
committee II. B. Scudder, r. Strobach,
S. J. Cameron and f. b. Preble of this
city, and w. l.. Dimmick from Selan.
This committee, with the exception of
Mr.. Preble, were favorable to the bill;
therefore they submitted majority re-
port last night recommending the adop-
ton of the bill with few minor
changes, chief of which was That all
present owners of water have an oppor-
tunity to come before tribunal as pro-
posed by law and have their rights de-
termined and placed of record. rcserving
for themselves the right to reject such
| adjudication and retaining the right to
appeal to the courts, all expense of
such adjudication to be borne by the
state.
Mr.. Preble submitted minority report
which consisted of an entire new bill
embodying, however, the provisions of
the proposed code in regard to condemn
alton, and making provision for the
condemnation and appropriation of
rights of way, water, etc, in this state
by the federal government. Many Of
the sections of Mr. Preble's proposed
bill are practically the same as in the
commissions reported code, with slight
variation. Tn the discussion of the
amendment, or substituted bill, the crit
icism was offered that it would remove
the difficulties in the way Of the gov
ernment's operating at Pasco, but not
in the Yakima valley.
Martin Jackson of Sunnyside intro.
duced an amendment to the substitute
providing that canal companies shall
be deemed common carriers when they
appropriate and distribute more water
than they need for use on their own
lands, and shall sell or rent the same
for reasonable compensation; and fur
Their that priority shall be given to the
man nearest the source of the ditch.
This amendment was added to the sub
stitute offered by Mr.. Preble, and was
adopted. The substitute bill was then
adopted, and the committee was in
structed to report the bill to the leg

DOCTOR FOLEY
TAKES APPEAL
CASE WILL NOW BE HEARD BY
JURY OF PHYSICIANS At
HELENA.

DR.. John T. Foley, of this city, who
has had discouraging experience
ia his efforts to secure a license to
practice medicine, has taken most
unusual step to secure what he be-
lieves to be his rights. Having failed
to obtain the required markings in
his examinations before the state
board. the doctor has now appealed
from the ruling of that body, and on
Dec. the case will be called up in
Judge Henry c. Smiths division OF
the district court at Helena.
Physicians Will Hear Il.
A jury composed OF physicians will
hear the case, and it is worthy OF
note that this will be the first pro-
ceeding of that kind ever instituted
In Montana. Under the former law
when a physician appealed from the
ruling of the state board of examiners
the matter was heard by a jury OF lay.
men, but under the statute as amend.
ed at the last session of the legisla.
ture, the jury may be composed OF
practitioners.
To Serve as Jurors.
Much interest is taken. both in and
out Of the profession. in this case.
and Judge Smith has already issued
an order for the jurors. Only eight
doctors are required to hear the case,
but in order that there may be no
delay when the matter comes up, a
much larger number will be required
to be in attendance.
