FARMERS FILING
ON WATER RIGHTS
Special to the Glacier.

Special to the Glacier.
Goldendale, Wash, July Is. Since
the adjournment of superior court last
week there has been rush of filings
on water rights. The two cases be-
fore Jugde McCreedie we're taken
under advisement, and will probably
be continued to the September term.
Rudolph Lauterbach of White Sal
mon has case in equity against O. ID.
Moore, which was argued before the
Judge last week, and the demurrer
over ruled. The defendant was grant
cd 20 days to answer. Moore it seems
has been using water from spring
having its source on Lauterbach 3
property ON the mountain side. Lau-
terbach claims Moore has no right to
the water, while the latter declares
the owner of the spring has no right
to divert the stream from its natural
channel.
The case of A. j. Taylor VS.. George
W. Moore has been taken under advis-
ment. This Is case where 1raylor
owns sawmill on Mill creek. Moore
has taken the water from the stream
further up the creek, thus diminishing
the water power for the mill. A
question Of riparian rights comes up
here.
Farmers are manifesting consider
able interest In the cases, inasmuch
as many of them will be affected by
the decisions. Several have already
taken time by the forelock and are
filing on their riparian rights.

RIEkE CONSIDERS 1T
A PERSONAL AFFRONT
Resents Motion to Remove His, Bill
From General Orders

Acrimonious remarks, under the
head of motions and resolutions" are
becoming quite the fashion in the SEN
ate these days. Yesterday Rieke of
Renville furnished his share. The
provocation was Senator Thorpe's mo-
ton to refer the Rieke bill raising the
salaries OF district judges from S3, 500
to $4,000, which is now on general Or
ders, to the finance committee.
Rising from his seat, with a portent-
Gus frown, Senator Rieke said, with
ominouS emphasis:
u can see the handwriting on the
wall. If my bill is to be killed, 1 want
1t to die decent death on the floor of
the senate and have a decent burial,
and not to slumber to death in the
finance committee, without even a slab
to mark its grave. 1 introduced the
bill last January. and 1 consider this
motion at this time, to take 1T off
general orders, a personal affront."
Senator Thorpe, who seemed sur
prised, said the motion was not made
to kill the bill. He declared he had
no personal feeling in the matter and
wouldn't have made the motion If he
had thought it was going to be mis-
construed. AS Senator Brewer, the
chairman of the finance committee,
had not arrived, Senator Thorpe with
drew his motion, and the matter was
laid over for the day, and the senate
proceeded with its business.

MORAL SUPPORT FOR THE AUDI
TORuJM

Money. and plenty of it, will be need
ed for such a general assembly hall as
the Commercial club now contemplates
erecting, but the two organizations
that sent into the club meeting Tues
day night their assurance of moral
support have promised that which is
quite as necessary as money. The plan
that is finally decided upon and the
site that is finally selected will not. Of
course, please everybody; but this fact
should not hinder everybody from CO.
operating heartily in its erection. En-
thusiasm for the auditorium, not en-
thusiasm for ones own idea of an au-
ditorium, is what will be needed to
push the project along.
Undoubtedly. the plan that is select
ed will appeal to the majority of BUSH
ness men. But it has frequently been
found that quiet and persistent knock
ing on the part of even a very small
minority can accomplish much in the
way of retarding the carrying out of
plans. A central location, that Is. a
location in easy reach of all street
car lines and a seating capacity OF
1000 or more, constitute the i'm
portant requirements. Any plan for an
auditorium that incorporates these de-
serves the support of every man. wom-
an and child who realizes the pressing
necessity for such a public building.
Therefore more pledges of moral
support would not be a bad thing.
Those who cannot give money can give
this. and the good will they will gen.
crate by so doing is bound to create an
atmosphere which must prove ex-
tremely healthful for the project. Just
now while the plans are being discussed
there Is no lack of enthusiasm, but il
stands chance of waning or of being
superseded by criticism when one plan
has been adopted. This will not hap
pen, however. IL everybody promises
moral support, and everybody should
make up his mind to give such a
promise.

THE PASSING OF JULES VERNE

The death of Jules Verne will leave
no great vacancy in the list of literary
great ones, but it will recall to an i'm
mense number of living men and wom-
en- the personality of a writer who
afforded them a great deal of most fas-
young. No writer of his time had
more readers than Verne, but he has
gained for himself no enduring fame.
Verne wrote wonderful stories, but
his tales lacked the personal and hui
man interest. They were wonder
stories of science and they might have
development of science outrun the i'm
agination of Verne. Verne claimed for
his stories that they were all within
the range of scientific possibility, and
| time, which is long as art. must dis
prove that claim. For the marvellous
things that have been accomplished
since that time when the last genera
ton was absorbed in and moved to
incredulity by The Mysterious Island"
make the ina ginative writings of the
Frenchman to read like the primer of
scientist.
Verne was a good craftsman, but he
was not a genius in any sense. He did
not create characters; he obviously
knew nothing of the manifestations of
human passion. He created fictitious
conditions with remarkable ingenuity,
he even thrilled" but his thrills were
of the mind amazed or astonished
rather than evidences OF feelings
touched. 1t was not that he wanted
the capacity to write things that COM
manded the attention of men and
women, but that he could not reach to
the great human motif.
Verne was tremendously prolific and
for many years has been under con-
tract to write two books a year. Still hs
has no place in French literature. He
has earned a great deal of money; he
perhaps more than any one man made
science popular-and even If his SCI
ence was unscientific. And who will
say that some of the great contribu-
tons to modern science were not born
of minds in which interest in invention
was aroused by the wonders born of
the imagination OF Jules Verne? Yet
tomorrow he will be forgotten

HOUSE DECLINES TO
HAVE SENATE ROASTED
Wares Speech Denouncing Upper Body Is
Quickly Stopped

when he used his vote on the Smith bill
to increase the compensation of members
as an opportunity to roast the senate. Mr..
Ware had just come from the senate.
where the minority report on the Peterson
anti-pass bill had been rejected by the
senate. Ware has a similar bill pending
in the house and he was angry.
Over in the senate they are saying
that they are making monkeys of u.s." he
said. IF we vote this bill through they
will go out in the country and use 1t as
club to beat us. But do not care. 1 am
not afraid of this senatorial combine.

in the senate, when they refuse to be fair.

Mr.. Ware was continuing his speech
against the senate when r. J. Wells of
Breckenridge raised a point of order
against him.
1T is not fair for a house member to
criticise the senate Mr.. Wells declared.
Il am not criticising individual mem
bers of the senate" Mr.. Ware protested.
The speaker will confine his remarks
to the question: Speaker Clague insisted.
''It Is regarded as discourteous and not in
order for a member to cTiticise the SEN
ate" Mr.. Ware continued to speak, but

AN OMNIBUS SOUND

The tactics of the japanese COM
manders are being repeated with the
precision of clock work We hear ex-
actly the same reports that were given
out after the battle of LIaoyang. A de-
feated and demoralized army is ap-
parently being allowed to retreat; with
incessant nagging at its rear, indeed,
but without any vigorous onslaught.
The world is told that the japanese are
not following up their advantage close
ly, that their troops are probably too
Russians, and that an engagement
which might have ended the war is
postponed. The sequel to that story,
told after Liaoyang, was Mul1den. The
sequel to Mukden is likely to be the
same
The latest reports contain the fol-
lowing ominous sentence: ION both
TANKS the Japanese are operating a wide
turning movement, but the strength
of the thanking force has not been def
nitely ascertained." The whole Japa-
nese plan seems to us to be revealed in
this; especially as it exactly duplicates
their former movement, and embodies
the general plan that they have con-
beaten, indeed, and forced to retire, but
still numbering some 100000 men and
moving in fairly good order. Being in
flight it leaves by the way provisions
and munitions of war thrust aside for
speeds sake. which the pursuing foe
cannot afford to discard. 1t also de-
stroys bridges and otherwise makes
pursuit at its own rate OF speed nearly
impossible. To fall upon such body of
men upon the rear with an impact suf-
ficient to scatter them is next to an i'm
possibility.
The japanese find 1t better tactics.
as it certainly appears to be on paper,
and as they have found it to be all
vancing parallel with the enemy and
on either side, and marching over I'M
obstructed roads with such speed that
they outstrip the foe, and at a given
point are ready to come together in
front of him and subject him to an
other attack from front, rear and both
TANKS at the same time. This is what
won a victory at Mukden; this is what
forced the abandonment of Tie pass,
the strongest position that the Rus
slams could ever hope to hold, and this
is what is going to happen at or about
Hardin. Probably by this time the re-
port that the Japanese are UNEQUAL to
a speedy pursuit does rot deceive Rus
