panies said that while it was true that
it was hard matter to get sufficient
number of cars, no shutdown of their

Martin Chittenden, the first governor of
Vermont.
Mr.. Hepburn's father was Lieut.. James
s. Hepburn, of the Second United States
artillery. The lieutenant was graduated
from West Point, having entered that
Institution Immediately after it's reor-
ganization, about 1920. After his
graduation he was a prlncipalin a sem
sational duel with Robert ]. Walker, aft
erward senator from Mississippi and
secretary Of the treasury under Presi-
dent Polk. Walker was SO severely
wounded in the encounter that he was
anne to the end Of his life. That incon-
venience, however, did not prevent him
from having notable career. Even
after he had retired from public life he
vas made governor of Kansas.
Lieut.. Hepburn did not fare as we'll.
After the duel he left the army and be-
gan the study of medicine with the man
who became his father-in-law, DR.. Han
son Catlett. He practiced medicine for
ten years in Illinois and made good
reputation as q physician, but did not
prosper financially. In the summer of
1888 there was an epidemic Of cholera in
the south, and DR.. Hepburn went with a
relief party to New Orleans, which was
devastated by the scourge. He con-
tracted the disease and died. A few
months later Representative Hepburn
was born.
Three years after DR.. Hepburn's death
his widow was married to George s..
Hampton, of Kentucky, and five years
later they removed to Iowa and settled
on q government claim near Iowa City,
which was the capital of the territory.
At the age of Ia, finding home life irk-
some, young Hepburn resolved to strike
out for himself. He was Influenced in
this decision by his desire to become in
dependent and not by any disagreement
with his stepfather, an excellent man
who became clerk of the Iowa supreme
court. William lived for year with
Judge John f. Kinney, Of Lee county.
and then he went into a printing Office
at Iowa City and learned the trade.
Afterworkingfo for awhile as a compositor
Hepburn began the study Of law in the
Office of William Penn Clark, who be-
came subsequently paymaster in the
United States army. In 1854 the young
lawyer went to Chicago, but remained
only year, returning to Iowa City.
This period marked the beginning Of the
young mans political career.

ment be entered into, the persons
signing it will also agree to CO.
operate with Miller & Lux in op-
posing the claim of T. B. Hickey
and will contribute to the expense
of that contest in proportion to
their respective irrigated acreage.
The foregoing proposition seems
to us to substantially meet the
views that you have expressed,
but we do not. of course, insist
that this is the only method. If
you find any difficulties in making
the arrangement precisely as we
have suggested, we shall be glad
to consider these objections. In
fact, however, it seems to us that
the concessions which we thus
offer to make are very large on
our part, and they are offered only
with view of bringing to an end
this protracted litigation. While
this proposition does not include
any owner on the East Walker
River, we shall be glad to negoti-
ate with those people on similar
basis.
We have in this proposition said
nothing about the question of
water storage. We share your
feeling that it is very important
matter, and we have already indi-
Gated our desire to see some such
system adopted, either through
government help or in some other
way. 1t is, however, utterly i'm
possible to take up the question
of storage until the respective
water rights are adjusted and de-
term1ned as between all parties,
and for that reason there is no use
in attempting to deal with that
matter in a partial settlement like
the present.
If you find this proposition in
substance meets with the appro-
baton of your people we would
suggest that you have committee
appointed with authority to act
and to meet us here to draw the
agreement, and we urgently re-
quest that when such a meeting is
had your committee will be &C
companied by one or more of your
attorneys. Very Truly Yours,
MILLER & LUX.

ANOTHER COMPROMISE PROPOSITION.
What Miller & Lux Now Agree to Do Ia the
Division of Water.

Al recent conference VI
number of the water users of Ma
son Valley and the Miller & Lux
people in San Francisco, the fol-
lowing proposition was submitted
by the latter as basis for par
tial settlement of the vexatious
suit now pending. The land and
water owners of Smith Valley and
this valley will meet in Yerington
to discuss this proposition today.
San Francisco, Dec. 80, 1904.
Messrs. ]. |. Wilson and w.
Simpson.
Gentlemen:-In view of our
conversation with reference to
finding some method of settlement
of the disputes in the case of Mil
Ter & Lux against Hickey, so far
as relates to the users of water
from the West Walker River be-
low Antelope Valley, we will now
state definitely the proposition
which we made to you orally, and
which we think will afford a basis
for a settlement as between those
parties.
I. An agreement is to be made
between Miller & Lux, all the
users of water on the West Walk
er River in Smith Valley and Ma
son Valley, and also the Spragg-
Woodcock Ditch Company, and
the owners of the Nichol ditch, by
which the respective priorities are
to be settled and the amount of
the respective appropriations to
be fixed according to the capacity
of the respective bitches as they
were at the commencement of this
suit. For this purpose we are
willing to accept the measurements
heretofore made by Mr.. Houston
SO far as they 60, and such further
measurements as may be necessa-
ry.
2. An agreement to be made
covering the season of short water
substantially as follows:
Whenever the quantity of water
passing the Hoye bridge shall be
found to be less than a certain
quantity (say somewhere from 80
to 40 feet, as may be found right
the ditch owners in Smith Valley
are to agree to turn down a por
ton of that water at the foot of
Smith Valley to be measured at
point to be selected at or near the
foot of that valley; the owners
above mentioned in Mason Valley
to agree to turn down a certain
other portion of that water to
Miller & Lux and its co-owners, to
be measured at a point on the riv-
er between the Nichol ditch and
the Campbell ditch; that arrange
ment to continue so long as the
water passing the Hoye bridge is
less than the quantity named.
3. The division of the short
water between the various owners
in Smith Valley is to be arranged
as shall suit them, and the divis-
ion between the owners named in
Mason Valley above the Campbell
ditch to be made as agreed upon
between them; and all the owners
in Smith Valley to be jointly re-
sponsible for sending down the
quantity of water agreed upon,
and said owners in Mason Valley
to be likewise jointly responsible
for sending down the agreed guam
tity to Miller & Lux and its CO.
owners.
d. When the details are all
fixed and agreed upon, the entire
