The plaintiffs claim to be the old
est settlers and first appropriations
of sufficient water to irrigate all
their lands and reside telow all the
defendants on what is known as the
Little walla Walla river, near the
state line between Oregon and Wash
ington. Until within the last three or

in effect, settle permanently the rights

Surveys oi Streams to BE Made.
When interviewed upon these
points Mr.. King stated that he expect
ed to procure an order of the court
directing the photographic survey and
that the state engineer would proba-
bly, proceed in the near future, which
work Will require at least three
months. He thinks this method will
greatly facilitate the trial of the is
sues and enable the court to arrive
at the correct status of all parties as
TO their rights to an extent that would
have been impossible under the usual
method of furnishing evidence in
such cases.
The engineer is expected to furnish
the data showing the amount of wa
ter flowing in the streams, carrying
capacity of all the bitches, amount
and character of lands irrigated by
each, character of soil and amount of
water required for the various kinds
of soils and different farms, as well
as the amount actually in use. This
will also assist materially in determin-
ing who are wasting water, as many
irrigators use more water than need
ed without knowing it, as is done in
nearly all irrigated sections of the
Country

Household Hints.

Coaloil is the best thing to clean
the wringer rollers.
Clean gilt frames with a cotton
cloth moistened in sweet oil.
Silverware that is stained with
egg may be cleaned by rubbing
with dry salt.
Chamois skin may be easily
washed if a teaspoon of soda IS
added to the water.
Try sliced apples in bread pud-
ing. They are much nicer than
raisins or currants.
Hard soap for creaking doors or
tight bureau drawers is much bet
than oil or grease.
Equal parts of soda and salt dis
solved in warm water will relieve
mosquito and insect bites.
Do you mix your dry soda with
the -four for all purposes in which
you use it2 If not, try the plan.
Soda freshens vegetables if they
happen to be stale, and helps to
make them tender if slightly tough.
A little lemon juice added to the
water for mixing pastry improves
the flavor and helps to make it
light.

THE Brownsville Board of Trade
wants new members. Men who will
take an interest in the advance
ment of our city. Men who may be
depended upon to perform the
duties required of them to the best
of their ability and to the advantage
of the city. The organization al
ready has a good membership, but
it wants more. Did you ever stop
TO think of the great good such an
organization can do. Take for in
stance the recent visit of our
neighbors from Corpus Christi.
Had there been no Board of Trade
in Brownsville it would have been
next to impossible TO have enter
tanned and cared for the large crowd
in the admirably way in which it
was done. As a general rule what
is everybody's business is nobody's
business, and when an organized
body, like our Board of Trade, can
be depended upon to take the lead
in such matters, it becomes COM
paratively easy to accomplish salts
factory results. The public usually
waits for some one to take the lead
in all matters Of a public nature,
and is always willing to assist.
Take the matter under advisement
and if you are willing to give
part of your time to the material
advancement and upbuilding of our
city, join the Board Of Trade and
assist those who are so nobly work
ing in this cause.

A social folly is to imagine that
people are always looking at or
thinking of you. Such ideas are
often the offspring of conceit, and
are among the chief reasons why 50
many fashionable ladies put on
such absurd airs of affectation, and
why young debutantes enter a
room so awkwardly. As a matter
of fact it is good to remember that
people very often look at you
without seeing or thinking of you.
They have other things to think of.
II we could only convince our
selves that we are not always the
pivot of our friends and acquain-
tances' thoughts there would be
fewer hurt feelings and imaginary
grievances. Express.

Rather a peculiar death occurred
on the Jagou farm, seven miles be-
low town last Thursday, Liberato
Flores about 65 years old, a hat
maker by trade, who has been here
many years, was found dead among
the branches of a palm tree, about
sixteen or eighteen feet from
the ground. Judge Gavito went
down and viewed the body and
gave his verdict that the man came
to his death from heartfailure, as
there was no evidence TO indicate
either murder or self-destruction.
The man had probably gone up in
the tree to cut the tender leaves to
manufacture hats, and was over
taken by death. He had no rel
atives and was buried by the coun-
~.
