WATER DOCTRINE
GOVERNMENT SHOULD ENcouR.
AGE IRRIGATION.
SAYS ATTORNEY GENERAL

Mastery Argument Before United
States Supreme court-Doetrine Of
Riparian Rights Would Ruin the
West.
Washington.-In the Kansas-C Colo
RADIO suit Wednesday, the principal ar
gument for the government was made
by Assistant Attorney General Camp
bell OF the Department Of Justice, who
has had direct charge OF the govern
ment's side Of the case for the past
year.
Mr.. Campbell brought vividly to the
attention Of the court the results of ir-
rigation in the western states, what it
has done, is doing and will do II not
checked by legislative or judicial ac-
ton. 1t was estimated, he said, that 1t
would take 1000 acres of arid land in
its natural condition to support one
person, while If irrigated forty acres
of the same land will support two per
sons.
The arid land is worth SLIPS an acre.
while when irrigated it is worth 500 to
$500 an acre, according to location and
of a century prior to 1903, 10000, 900
acres in the arid region had been
placed under irrigation at cost OF
$500. 100000. No more arabic land in
the country is now subject to entry un-
der the general land laws, and the
country must now look to irrigated
land for any further considerable addi-
tions to it's cultivated orea. 1t Is esti-
mated that 50,000,00O to 6O.O0O,0O0
acres will be placed under irrigation,
sufficient, it is estimated, to support
a population of 50.000,O0O to 100000
600 of people.
If the doctrine of riparian rights as
claimed by the state Of Kansas should
prevail, any owner Of forty acres OF
land along an interstate stream in the
lower state could absolutely block de-
velopment by irrigation Of the entire
upper states dependent upon that river
for irrigation, and could stop every en-
terprise undertaken by the reclamation
service upon the upper waters Of the
streams.
He contended that the national gov.
ernment had inherent power to legis-
late for the general good in the abb
sence Of provision of the federal con-
stitution, II such power was not spe'
officially delegated to the states them.
selves by the constitution, and quoted
in support Of this speech made by
James Wilson, one Of the trainers Of
the federal constitution, and several de
cisions of the Supreme Court sustain
ing this contention.
Justice Peckham asked the speaker
what rule the government would have
the court lay down, to which he re-
piled that the government in brief de.
sired a rule declaring that beneficial
use and priority of appropriation OF wa
ter not limited by state boundary lines
should prevail in determining the righ.
to use OF waters of streams in irrigated
regions.

HICKS RELEASED.
For Fifteen Days Confined In Living
Tomb.

Bakersfield. Call. B. Hicks, the
miner who was entombed by a cave-in
In a tunnel of the Edison Electric
Power Company, December 7th, was
rescued at 11:15 O'Clock Saturday
night, December 22d.
Hicks was entombed alive under
sixty feet of debris fifteen days ago, in
the tunnel Of the Edison Electric
Power Company, seventeen miles
northeast Of the city. Five OF his fel-
low workers were buried at the same
time by the cave in of thousands of
tons Of earth and rock. The men had
just begun work in the tunnel, which
is being built to aid in generating
electric power from the waters of the
Kern river, when, without warning,
the perpendicular walls of the shaft
above them collapsed. No immediate
help could be rendered.
The work of recovering the bodies
was Immediately began and prosecuted
with vigor, but owing to the yield
ing nature of the soil, slow progress
was made. Hope of rescuing any Of
the victims had been abandoned, when
three days after the disaster the sound
of tapping on a water pipe in the
shaft was heard. Instantly response
was sent, and the answering raps
plainly proved that at least one Of the
imprisoned miners was alive.
1t proved to be Hicks, former SOL
dier and and expert miner, whose life
had been saved by steel car, under
which he was pinned. His five COM
panions were dead.
Fearing to dislodge the debris in
the shaft, the rescuing party began
work on drift from the side Of the
hill, and work was not suspended day
or night. Hicks was given milk
through the pipe and soon showed
signs of renewed vigor. He said that
during the days previous to his discov-
cry he had subsisted on a plug OF
chewing tobacco. Thereafter during
the long hours of his imprisonment In
closely-cramped quarters he was kept
well nourished. Every effort was made
made to keep his mind in a cheerful
mood, SO that it might not become I'M
balanced by his surroundings.
The stencil from the remains OF the
dead miners was perceptible at the
surface of the ground and was intense
in close quarters where Hicks was con-
fined. A phonograph was placed so
that the lonely man could be enter
tanned by music. He also was in al
most constant communication with his
friends. Only at rare intervals did he
seem respondent and frequently sent
words of cheer to those upon the out
side.
His rescue was most difficult piece
of work, and that 1t was accomplished
at all is regarded as marvellous by all
those acquainted with the conditions
which were met and overcome.

SITE SELECTED.
Denver Postoffice Location Chosen by
Secretary Shaw.

Washington.-Denver's next public
building is to be located on block num-
ber 127, which is bounded by Eigh-
teenth, Nineteenth, Champa and Stout
streets. This was the decision OF Sec
retary Shaw, rendered in a few min
utes after the views Of the Colorado
delegation in Congress were laid be-
fore him Friday afternoon.
All members Of the delegation, IN
GLIDING Representative-elect Cook,
were invited to be present at the
conference. Messrs. Brooks and Cook
were called out of the city on business
matters, and those who attended were
Senators Teller and Patterson and
Representatives Bonynge and Hogg.
At the conference each member Of
the Colorado delegation in attendance
disclaimed any personal interest in
any of the sites offered, and all agreed
that the one recommended by Super
vising Architect Taylor and selected
by Secretary Shaw was the one which
could utilized for the erection of a
combination building, and to that ex-
tent met with their approval.
The site is best known to people out

dist Divine.

New York.-Bishop Charles c. Nc
Cabe of the Methodist Episcopal
church, died early Wednesday from
apoplexy, with which he was stricken
several days ago while passing through

phia He was about to step on ferry
boat when he staggered and fell uncon'
scious. He was quickly removed to the
New York hospital, where he received
treatment as a private patient. The
bishop regained consciousness and the
indications of the twenty-four hours
following were that the shock had been
slight one At that time his condi-
tion gave promise Of speedy recovery
and the former health of the patient en-.
couraged this hope. Just before the
attack he had walked briskly and car.
ried grip weighted with books and
papers without apparent fatigue.
Bishop McCabe was born at Athens,
Ohio. Oct. II, 1886. He entered the
Ohio conference Of the Methodist
church in 1860 and two years later be-
came chaplain of the One Hundred and
| Twenty-second Ohio infantry, becom

of war were later recounted on the
lecture platform. For more than thirty
years he was popularity known as
Chaplain McCabe," and the title
clung to him even after the general
conference of the Methodist church in
1886 made him a bishop.
Following the war he became pastor
OF church at Portsmouth, Ohio. and
later was associated as assistant secre-
tary with the board of church extern
sion.
While engaged in church extension

Fashions In wemsn.

. There are fashions not only in wom-
ems clothes but in women themselves.
A certain style OF woman becomes
the vogue. Lydia Languish reads sen
timental novels, dissolves in tears at
. moments notice, and finds eiope-
ment a necessary spice for marriage.
A century later Lydia's clinging type
goes out.-with ''leg-o-mutton sleeves.
and the athletic girl takes the CEN
ter Of the stage. with her short skirt.
her long stride and her loud voice.
The dominant note of the early twen-
tieth century woman is her ability to
be Interesting. Be she plain or beau
tiful. blonde, strawberry" or bru-
nette, she must be pleasant. To listen
well Is not enough; she must have
a quick wit and clever tongue,
which should be kind as well. The
dull. the quiet, the simpering are out
Of fashion, and even the athletic girl
must look to her laurels. lest the en-
tertaining one prove her successful
rival with the exacting sex. One mod
ern freak of the mode deserves soon
to pass away, remarks the Youths
Companion. The modern woman re-
fuses to grow old. At first sight that
seems q worthy ambition. But with
the banishment Of caps and shoulder
capes something Of the gentleness,
grace and wisdom Of old age has also
been lost. In place of those lovely ac-
compartments of advanced years we
find other things which make their
bearer a nondescript travesty of
youth, whose hat. complexion and
conduct are as gay as they are unbe-
coming. Somebody once said that
the finest thing God ever made was
beautiful old woman. 1t behooves
us not to let ker dignity and calm.
her poise, sagacity and charm go out
Of fashion.
