The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-05-04

Big Cottonwood creek This is the best
description that could be given, be-
cause the exact extent of the right was
unknown and could not be stated.
Neither party was willing to describe
it as set forth in the award, because the
company was not willing to guarantee
that quantity of water to the city and
the latter was unwilling to undertake
TO maintain the right to that quantity
Nor was either party willing to give
the present appOrtiOnment by the
watermaSters as the correct quantity.
The company was unwilling to limit it's
right to that extent and the city did
not want the right limited, but wanted
all that the parties were entitled to re-
ceive.
1.-The description is good because it
is possible to ascertain Just what the
right is, and it is only in cases where
it is impossible to determine what
rights or property are intended to be
conveyed that descriptions are held to
be void for uncertainty. The fact that
a judicial determination of these rights
may be necessary to ascertain the ex-
act extent and definition of them does
not affect the matter or render the de-
scriptiOn invalid.
Water Rights Not Recorded.
Under our law there is no public
record of water rights as there is of
land claims. They are acquired and
held by use, and the failure to use the
water for the period prescribed in the
statute causes a forfeiture of the right
Most OF the water rights in the state
are underlined, and it would be impos-
sible for their owners to give an accu-
rate description of them.
This fact is so well understood and
recognized that the legislature at it's
last session appropriated $4,000 for the
express purpose of having water rights
determined and defined, it having APP
propriated a like sum for that purpose
at the previous session. And this was
done by practical irrigators who knew
the situation and realized the necessity
for having these rights defined.

Irish Wit.

Once upon time an Irishman and
a Yankee were riding along together.
They happend to pass a gallows and
the Yankee asked: where would
you be, friend if the gallows had all
that is due to it," "Sure, an I'd be
ridin' meself to-day, sor," answered
the witty son of Erin.
Once upon a time an Irish horse
dealer sold to a man a mare that he
assured the purchaser was Sound in
mind and limb and without fault"
After the mares new oner took her
home he found the animal was blind
in one eye and could scarcely see
with the other. Returning to the
Ir.shman, he protested, saying: you
assured me the mare was without
fault, and I find her blind of an eye"
To this the ready Irishman made
answer: "Sure, an the poor critters
blindness is not her fault, but her
misfortune, soir."

Three FACTS
For Sick WOrnera
To Consider

FIRsT.-That almost every operations
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect OF
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful periods, displacements-
of the female organs, pain in the side,
burning sensation in the stomach,
bearing down pains, nervousness, diz-
ziness and sleeplessness.
SECOND. -The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number OF
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
e. Pinl<ham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism 30
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, infiam-
nation of the female organs, weak
ness and displacements, regulating
the periods perfectly and overcoming
their pains. 1t has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing women 1or
childbirth and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
hcited and grateful testimonials on Al@
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many OF winch are from UlIn6 BC
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydin
e. Pinkhan's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs. Pinkham's advice.
Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation
OWOmen.--Wom suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited TO
promptly communicate with Mrs. Pink
ham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters arc
received, opened, read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and tho
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter
in-law of Lydia E, Pinkham and fog
twenty-five years under her direction
and since her decease she has been adj
vising sick women free charge. Outoa
the vast volume of experience in treat.
ing female ills Mrs. Pinkham probably
has the very knowledge that win help
your case. Surely, any woman, rich or
poor, is very foolish if she doesnot take
advantage of this generous offer OF
assistance.
