the case was considered carefully be-
cause of its being somewhat intricate.
and We quote few sentences:
"lt appears that number of tun-

tunnel, from which the water now is

solely, or at all, on the petitioners

against all others. the right to collect
and pay for its water at the portal of
the petitioner not only conducted this
artificial water into the natural stream

It. but also there actually made the

"The district court seems to have
given much thought and attention to
the evidence produced before It, and
as its findings are supported thereby.
and as We are of opinion that the
rights in controversy can be determ-

This would indicate that the Park

right to this water, whether It comes
from an upper or lower tunnel.

Park Center and Orchard Park peo-
Pile are feeling pretty good this season,
Never before have the people of this
section had all the water they could
use. but this year the supply is un-
limited.
With the purchases Of the Garden
Park ranches this system has been
made complete and Park Center and
Orchard Park is booming as never be-
fore.
Now on top of all this comes the
supreme court decision giving them
undisputed title to the Cripple Creek
drainage tunnel waters. The company
has owned these waters for years, but
the title was disputed and the case has
been in the courts for three or four
years.
shortly after the beginning of min
ing operations In the Cripple Greek
district the Park Center Land and
Water company made flings on the
waters towing from the several tun-
nels and workings, to secure that
water for irrigation on their lands
north Of this city.
The company made further filings
and finally It purchased the right from
the projectors OF the present drainage
tunnel. paying for that right the sum
OF 5000. .. :
During the summer OF 1904 the CON-
pany secured from the district court
OF Fremont county decree for the
water flowing FROM that tunnel. but
that decision was appealed from, and
as the supreme court Of this state ID

not reached till last week.
Al this was a new OF unusual case

time, the decision Of the supreme court

This is presumably labor contract

authority in the matter of ordering
an arrest OF Dixon for the alleged
violation, as the conditions may
border on a state Of what is defined
as peonage. However. the arrest has
been made according to instructions
from the authorities OF Madison
county, and the prisoner has been re-
turned TO the seat OF his alleged
crime"
The officers of Alaohua county have
had nothing to do with this case, fur

said that the Officers here were not

SECOND ADVENT CHURCH.
A Most Successful Series Of Meetings
Were Closed Tuesday Night.

Were Closed Tuesday Night.
The series Of meetings Of the yAd-
vent Christian church. Vhich have been
conducted by Elder Joe Sherouse Of
Jacksonville with the church in this
city for the past ten days, have been
OF the greatest benefit to the people
of this section, for Elder sherouse,
who is an eloquent though impressive
and simple speaker, has attracted
large crowds, and in his own impress
sive manner has talked in strain
that must necessarily benefit the
church and the Christian world.
Elder Sherouse is a man in love
with his work. He is not preaching
for financial gain. as is evidenced
by the fact that he has been working
here, where the congregation Of the
Advent Christian church is very
small; but he is preaching because
he believes his principles are right,
and the result is that he has enjoyed
most remarkable success.
The last meeting was held on Tues.
day night as elder Sherouse must
Teturn to Jacksonville. This dis.
tinguished worker for his faith has
been ably assisted here by Elder
James Lee, the regular pastor Of the
church, and together they have en-
ioyed most remarkable success.

WEATHER.
ASToRIA'S EXPERIENCE.

1t is not given to Astoria to really
suffer from such cold snaps as these.
They are infrequent, at worst, and
do not impose any extraordinary
hardships on anyone here. Incon-
venience falls far short Of real want
and deprivation, and We venture the
boast that no city of its size in the
west of America has less to contend
with in the way of actual, broadcast
poverty than the City-by the-Sea.
The cold weather coming simultan-
eously with the fuel shortage has enl
phasized the situation in pronounced
fashion, but aside from an enforced
prudence in the handling Of the avail
able supply of infiamables, and hi.
of worry as to the outcome in case
the freeze shall be protracted, there
is nothing to alright the people of
this place. We are fortunate an3
should deeply appreciate our freedom
from the extremities to which other
communities are subjected further east
and higher up. 1t pays some tim IS
to be near the ocean levels.

has been lost in the introduction Of
bills for the relief from railroad dom
ination. This is to be cardinal lo
mand there, and the whole people are
directly behind the legislators in their
insuperable task. We are not asking
that injustice shall be done the great
corporations, nor that they shall be
wronged nor denied nor undone in any
particular, but the day of account lg
is at hand, and the people are look
ing for relief from the weight Of their
own reckless consideration Of these
agencies in the past. They have given
much, more has been appropriated, and
the concessions have been infinitely
abused and boldly misdirected. The
pendulum must swing for awhile and
the largess Of the public kindness
must reach the authors Of it for onca
in the history Of the state. The cor
porations will be avid and exacting and
relentless in their efforts to emascu.

re-adjustment; all the wisdom of the

Mr. Grunsky states. The recon-
naissance which | have just made IN
south central oregon has given me an
opportunity to become acquainted with
the main physical features that must
be considered in planning the irriga-
ton OF lands In that part OF the state.
l desire. in the first place, to confirm
the conclusions OF other engineers OF
the Service who have made more or
less thorough examinations through
out this region, that information &C.
lating To the amount OF water that -
be made available for irrigation Is i
ficient and unreliable and that It Is a.
great Importance that a continuous
study Of the water resources In this
part Of Oregon shall be made. Relt-
able conclusions relating to the amount
of water that can be made avalla Ia
for irrigation cannot be drawn from
the records OF stream flow until such
records cover a series OF years, TherA
should therefore be no delay In extent
ing the study OF water resources II
those streams.
The region under consideration Is Il
succession Of interior drainage basins
In which the lowest areas are fiat al
kali beds or shallow lakes often SUI
rounded by extensive swamp land ar
cas- Such streams as there are have a
brief early spring food In which the
rush of water mandates large bodies
of land now mainly used for growing
wild hay.
Notwithstanding the apparent album
dance Of water 1t Is quite clear that 4
submergence Of large areas after oc-
casional winters OF copious snow fall
| in the mountains together with some
surplus water discharged into the LAX
es, is not conclusive as TO the actual
supply of water that can be made avail
able year after year for beneficial use.
Each source Of supply must be stud
led to ascertain it's yield before con-
clusions can be reached that will be i
satisfactory basis for the planning of
works.
1t is to be stated in this connection
that more information is also required
relating to the amount Of water that
is needed to supplement rainfall. The
residents at some points in this section
of the State are just making the dis
covery that there are some seasons
in which grain crop can be produc !
by dry farming. 1t Is being discover
ed, too, that climatic conditions there

lar men. The world has a surplus u
tWo-dollar men. The young man of
this day and age who is frittering away
his time, wasting his opportunities and
growing about his luck will never
amount to anything in the business
world. There are more first class OPP
portunities for the educated, polite, in
dustrious sober young men and wo-
men Of today than their forefathers
ever had. This old world Of ours Is
moving along at a wonderfully rapid
rate and the young man VINO intends
to keep up with the procession has
no time to waste in preparing himself
for the positions which are in front Of
him. These places Of honor can not
be secured by the young man who
loafs around the bar room or the gam
bling den. They cannot be had by the
young man who imagines the world
owes him living. They can only be
had by those who have prepared them
selves for them.
