uoNon,NG CONGRESSMAN JONES.

The splendid tribute paid Monday
night by the business men of North VA
kima to Congressman w. l.. Jones was
both commeudable and deserved. Its APP
parent sincerity impressed Mr.. Jones
and every one present alike, and the
pride he may we'll feel in considering
the compliment is more than pardon
able
1t is seldom that congressman re-
turns from Washington with as much
to be thanked for and as little to be
complained of as Is the case with Mr..
Jones. Quiet, unassuming. but ever
watchful and active. he has looked af-
ter the interests of the section he rep
resents faithfully and we'll. Few men
could have secured as much from the
government as he has secured. Few
men could have shaped things UP more
satisfactorily for getting more in the
future than he.
Congressman Jones is firmly en-
trenched in the affections of his con-
stituents. He was sent to Washing
ton, not by professional politicians,
but by the people He is answerable
to the people and he will be kept in
congress by them. While he has done
much, his greatest accomplishments
are yet to be recorded. He is one of
the most capable men in congress to-

DR.. Sickenga is among the most
popular men in Holland, holding the
high office of district Judge and menu

and the possessor of a deep penetrat-

that he may be able to apply 1t to
conditions in his native home and to

three years for the Cudahy Packing

Mr.. and Mrs. Sickenga left Rotter-

In an interview. DR.. Sickenga said:
when we arrived in New York,
stood and looked with wonder and adj
miration upon the land that Columbus
discovered more than 400 years ago.
From there we went to Chicago, where
we spent two days, then to Omaha

LOOKING FORW ARD.

At this time the eyes Of every per-
son in the Yakima valley who is inter-
ested directly OF indirectly In irrga-
ton are upon the future. We have
worried along with the problem in the
past in some way or other and the
present seems 10 be taking care of it.
self pretty we'll But the rapid growth
and development of the country, and
the increase in number of newcomers
every year, has brought about condi-
tions that the pioneer ranchers of the
valley never figured on or believed
would arise. These conditions arc Of
the utmost Importance. and all are
agreed that they must be met and
decided for all time to come, They
are being considered. and there Is no
need to fear that they will not be
worked out for the greatest good of
all. But they will not settle them
selves; they need the attention of men
of experience and ability. and all the
light they can throw upon the prob
lem will be essential in solving IT,
One of the best authorities on these
matters is undoubtedly Mr.. Ralph Will
hanson, of the government reclama-
tion service. who spoke at the banquet
in honor of Congressman Jones Mon
day evening. He outlined some of the
things that must be done in the flu
ture to prevent clashes between users
of water, and to provide for a fair,
equitable and satisfactory distribu-
ton of water. so that all users may
have their requirements supplied. and
none of them appropriate more than
they are entitled 10. or can use advan-
tageously, for" he declared. the
monopoly of water is fully as abhor-
rent as the monopoly of air" Mr..
Williamson said in part:
"Three things are essential in the
way Of new legislation If expensive
and tedious litigation is to be avoided.
First. that the state should know it's
resources: it should know its arid
lands. it, streams. its reservoicc: 1t
should have the proper officers with
adequate power Of investigation and
management. The use is public, the
property is public. and tho public
should control The perfected right of
the Appropriation. as well as the claim
made hv aim to the use of water
should I've a matter of record in the
state, and the Use should he under
state supervision. Upon the stability
Of the water titles depends the securi-
~ and value of the homes created in
an arid section.
Second that the right to the use of
the water should be based upon its
actual beneficial use.
Third, above all, that the right to
use water should be inseparablv ap-
purtenant 70 the land. without this
the principle of beneficial use is Grip
pied. The idea Of private ownership
of water, apart from ownership OF
lanf, If it prevail. can only be pro-
ductive of enduring harm.
No one who IS familiar with the
litigation that has arisen in this coun-
ty and adjoining counties over the
right 10 the use Of water in the past
will dispute these statements The
Herald believes that all the state legis-
lation IL this respect in the future will
have to be based upon these principles
or, at least emhody them

HOW mucm Is 4 MAN WORTH.

Or. 0slef must divide fame with DR.
Er7stus Z Holt Of Portland, Me- who
told tne recent congress Of the Ameri-
can Medieal association at Boston Just
what a man was worth in dollars and
cents AZ various ages. His calcula-
tior ~ 'Ne seven a-es 81 man. though

and from that time on his value de-
creases. until at 70 years of age he is
worth but $1713; and at 50 years Of
age he is a drawback on the COM
munity to the extent of $572.s4. A
professional man at % years Of age
has an economic value Of s25.S9s %,
and his highest value is at 40 years
Of age, when he is worth s30.34i6S.
The tables which Or. Holt has used in
determining the value Of a man are
taken from those Of the famous DR..
Farr. but he has amplified these ta-
bles In such 2 way that he can de-
termine the percentage Of loss due to
a specific accident. such as the loss of

Col L. S. Hewlett who for several
months has been expecting an appoint
ment from Judge wickersham. received
notice yesterday stating that Judge
Wickersham will hold court in Fair
banks, Alaska. July 80, and that the
colonel's appointment will date from
that time. The colonel expects to leave
here about the middle of July.

bers of the United States senate, Presi-
dent Roosevelt appointed Judge Wick
ersham as Judge OF the Alaska dis
trict.
Colonel Hewlett is one of the pio-
neers of this city. He has always
taken very prominent part in its de-
velopment. Yakima and valley has had
few better boosters nd stauncher sup
porters than the colonel. and while the
news of his good fortune Is a source
of much pleasure to his many friends
in this city and elsewhere. IL is with
regret that they contemplate his de-
parture from the place he contributed
SO much to upbuild.
