BILL
COMPROMISE REACHED BY OP.
POSING FACTIONS.
BY Amendments Agreed Upon Wat
er Rights In Yakima and 'kiffi.
taS Counties Are to Be EXCEPT.
ed From Adjudication According
to Terms OF Proposed Measure.

Olympia, Feb. S.--The representa-
tlves that were at swords points on the
features of the irrigation code have
reached an agreement that will result
in the preparation of a satisfactory ir.
rigation bill.
The irrigation code was prepared in
the first place at the suggestion of rep
resentatives Of the federal government,
who asserted that there could be no
government work in this state until the
laws were more satisfactory on irriga-
ton matters and on the code as pre-
pared by the irrigation commission ap-
pointed by Gov. Nc Bride, on the points
OF giving the government authority to
construct and maintain storage reser-
voirs; to turn water into the water
courses Of the state and control the
water thus added to the natural sup.
to cross with it's ditches and fumes
farm lands and exercise the rights of
eminent domain, and to eliminate to a
degree the doctrine Of riparian rights
now existing in this state, all interests
appeared to agree. The main objection
raised to the code submitted was the
section which in effect provided that
upon the government fling it's survey
maps of proposed irrigation works,
such filing shall be considered in the
light of an action at law brought
against all claimants of water rights in
the streams and districts affected by
the plats.
Yakima County Objects.
The object of this provision is to ad-
Indicate all existing water rights to
the end that it can be determined just
what waters are now unappropriated.
The great objection to this provision
came from the thickly settled irriga-
ton districts Of Yakima and Kittitas
counties. To adjudicate the rights in
this district would result in 1000 de-
PENDANTS being brought into court, ac-
cording to the statement Of Ira P. En-
glehart before the commission. The
people of these two districts claim to
have adjudicated their rights among
themselves and that it would be an IN
justice to them to cloud their titles in
which thy have in some instances re-
manned undisturbed for forty years.
Preliminary to the meeting Edward
Whitson, Walter N. Granger and rep
resentatives Of the Northern Pacific
and other irrigation projects in the
Yakima valley met T. A. Noble, the
government engineer, and Mr.. Ross.
representing the governments interests
in Idaho, and the outline of substi-
tute bill or section was agreed to that
settles this controversy.
In effect the understanding reached
is that inasmuch as in the two valleys
mentioned the available irriga BILE lands
are not of sufficient extent to justify
the government in starting irrigation
works therein, that portion of the state
be omitted from the operations Of the
bill in the matter of adjudicating wa
ter right 1t is admitted that over
the sparsely settled portions of the
state the adjudication feature should
prevail.

IN HIGHER COURT.
Case Of DR.. Cara, Whose License Was
Recently Revoked.

The case of DIR. Sigmund A. Cara
against the board of medical supervisors
was submitted to the Court of Appeals to-
day by Attorney M. N. Richardson, repre-
senting DIR. Czarra, and Assistant Corpora
ton Counsel A. Leftwich Sinclair, in be-
half of the board of medical Supervisors.
DIR. Czarra's license to practice medicine
and surgery in the District was recently
revoked by the board for alleged unprofes-
sional and dishonorable conduct, and he
appealed from the decision to the Court II
Appeals, his contention being that the
board was without authority to revoke his
license, for the reason that the law un-
der which it acted is unconstitutional and
void.
The case of DR. Czarra, it is understood,
has been watched with interest by the med
ical profession. His license was revoked
by the board of medical supervisors once
before, and the case was taken to the
Court Of Appeals, which set aside the order
of the board on account of the defective
ness of the complaint on which DIR. Cara
was tried. 1t is anticipated that the Court
of Appeals In the present case will pass
upon the constitutionality of the law. and
define the powers of the board of medical
supervisors.

Jerusalem to Jericho. they apply still more
forcibly to charitable workers surrounded
by the complex conditions of the present
day. Therefore. when we see charitable
organization or individual who can tell
worthy case intuitively or can gain all the
information necessary in a few minutes
conversation at the door or street corner
or by hasty visit to the applicants cup
board and coal bin, we may be sure that
the benefactor's purposes of helpfulness are
superficial and selfish, or ill-considered and
undeveloped OF course. it is an easy,
pleasant task to realize such rudimentary
charitable purposes as those which ignore
the past, consider present conditions super
ficially, and forget the future
But the familiar product of such selfish
ness in the charitable is pauperism In the
recipient and degradation in the commu-
nifty. For charitable workers have learned
that If, in helping the applicant, they con-
slider only half the man, they are apt
thereby to make half man of him.
The first rule in dealing with case of
charity, according to Mr.. Weller, is to in
dividualize-there are no set rules to fol-
low. He described various methods of con-
for recording necessary facts.
The relation Of charitable organizations
in different cities was interestingly dis
cussed, and the audience left with more
complete idea of the thoroughness with
which charitable records are kept here and
in other places.

INQUIRIES AND RECORDS.
Subject of Lecture by Secretary Charles
T. Weller.

ENQUIRIES and Records was the sub
tect of a lecture delivered last evening by
Secretary Charles T. Weller at the second
meeting in a series Of Lenten conferences
on organized charity and personal service
at the Associated Charities headquarters,
81 G street northwest The attendance
was large, many paid agents and voluntary
workers being in the audience. Personal
suggestions were made by many of those
present at the conclusion of Mr.. Wellers
lecture. 90 q
1.-The information necessary for charita-
bile work" said Mr.. Weller in the course of
his remarks, "depends upon the purpose.
An organization or Individual whose aim is
to disburse as much material relief as pos
sible. with the minimum of administrative
EXPENSES requires very little knowledge
concerning the benefciaries. Indeed, the
more superficial the inquiries and RECORDS,
the greater will be the relief giver's salts
faction and peace Of mind. But II the de-
yelonment Of natural resources, the i'm
proyement Of character and the prevention
Of future dependence are included in the
purposes of the charitable person or agency,
then there is no item OF attainable knowl-
edge concerning the beneficiary which may
not be of vital assistance IN his rehapllta-
tfon."
After reciting the story Of the Good Sa-.
ma ritan to show that the Bible teaches
care and common sense in dealing with
those In want, Mr.. Weller drew the fol-
lowing lesson ~ - 49,
