Water Rights Statistics.

Assistant Attorney General George
Butler has been commissioned by Sec
rotary of the Interior, Clifford Pinchot
through Assistant ATTORNEY General
George w. Woodruff, to undertake
the important and laborious work of
compiling all the Mississippi statutes
and decisions bearing on water rights
in any form or degree, for publication
along with the statutes of the. other
states, and with the United States
laws on the same subject.
The work will include such laws
as govern in any way riparian pro-
prietorship. appropriations, mill acts,
stream pollution, dams, state juris-
diction. ETC., and it is a task which
will require all the spare time of Mr..
Butler for several weeks.
The work is undoubtedly one of the
results of the convention of governors
and others in Washington a few
months ago having in view the con-
servation of the natural resources of
the country at large. 1t is under
stood that the work, when completed
is to be published as a government
public document and distributed as
such.
While the Mississippi statutes are
not so full of laws of this character
as many of the other states, there
are many sections which are to be
so classed mostly, however, for the
benefit of the coast section. The sew
eral small navigable streams in the
state have called for some legislation,
too, but there is comparatively little
use made of water for power pur-
poses in the state, owing to the fact
that few streams flow on sufficient
grade to make this practicable. In
order to get water to a sufficient
height to utilize it for power it would
bes necessary to convey the water
in most instances for several miles.

A. &. NJ. four Of these contests, one
game resulting in tie score of 6 to
6. This will add zest and spirit to
the approaching game, and both are
looking forward with much eagerness
to the fray.
Probably line-ups will be announced
within few days, although both
teams may make changes on the day
of the game. All of the regulars are
in first-class shape, having escaped
accident or injury this season.
A careful comparison of the scores
made by the University and A. & NJ.

tons that Thanksgiving game will be
the hardest fought in years, or since
the tied game of 1903 The A. & NJ.
has a heavier team and probably a
slight advantage in the use of the
forward pass, but the University has
magnificent backfeld. The A. &

by Harry Furman, of Pennsylvania,
who plays left half, and the former
by Ike Knox. a Pontotoc county boy
who was one of last years stars. and

less than 5000 people will witness
the game, and, if the weather is
good the attendance may be double

and ample arrangements have been
made for police protection to keep

Daily News Special.
Jackson, November 1S.-The Rail
road Commission has received the an
nual report of the Oak Grove &
Georgetown railroad, having mile
age in Mississippi of IL miles, the
remainder being in Alnabama. The
report is for the fiscal year ending
September 80, but, contrary to the
requirements and to the practice of
other roads, does not make sep
arate report of Mississippi business.
This is explaind however, by a note
which says that, owing to their small
mileage in this state they have never
kept their books in such shape as to
be able to make a separate report.
The report shows. operating rev.
enue of $1S,141.17, operating expenses
of 3O,164.90, and a deficit of $12,-
O23.73. Taxes occurred are $6S7.36,
which leaves a net operating loss of

large falling off of business, which
was caused by the shutting down of
a number of sawmills in that section
last year. This being principally a
! logging road in a timber country,
there was very little else left to haul,
while the expenses remained practic-
ally what they had been during the
previous year.

received by the commission the 9th.
ers being the Liberty White and Mis-
sissippi Central, both inter state roads.
The delay on the part of the larger
roads in getting in their annual re-
ports is doubtless due to the fact
that this year they are being made
on new blanks prepared and furnish
ed by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and are uniform with those
sent to the railroad commissions of
all other states who would agree to
adopt them. These blanks were re-
ceived late in the year, and only a
little time has been allowed in which
to get up the report.

in Franklin county of five negroes,

Homer Byrd, manslaughter, five
years.
Hollis Jones, burglary, three years.
Joe Jones, burglary, three years.
Stanton Moon, burglary, four years
Richard Thomas, grand larceny, five
years.
Judge Wilkinson asks that the pris-
oners be sent for at once, as the jail
in which they are confined is poorly
heated
Several county jails throughout the
state are now crowded with convicts
ready to be transported to the farms
the courts having been grinding them
out recently faster than Travelling
Sergeant Simpson can get around to
them and in several cases the sheriffs
have been complaining about the de

there will be at least 1900 conyicts
on the farms before the first of Jan.
uary, which will be 200 more than a
year earlier.
