DECLARES LAW VALID.

Last week lady owning several
houses 90 Queen street was citsd ID ap'
pear before the Police Court and sho"
cause Why she should not be fined for
allowing other than rain water to run
{. ON the houses on the street, as q pub
lie sewer is on the square on which the
bulldogs are situated. The defendant
was represented by Col. F. l.. Smith
who made 8 strong argument against the
constilutionality OF the law. de also
took the ground that the Law which Writ
ually compelled people to tap sewers
imposed hardship upon those VINO own
unremuneratiVe property on s're.t'
through which sewers pass. Justlce
Cation reserved his decision until this
moroiug, when be decided that the la"
a. framed Is valid; thst while there Is no
specific ordinsnce requiring property
owners to tsp sewers, the present law
forbids the occupants of houses on streets
where sewers have been constructed ID
allow other than rain water to fow from
the same on such streets. The justice,
however, dismissed the owner OF the
houses, as she is not the proper defend
ant, from the fact that the law Is direct
ed against the occupiers of houses who
allow wash or kitchen water to run on
severed streets. In cases where the
owners OF such houses reside in them,
they, of course, will be made the de-

OREGON MEN MAY FISH NOW
Recent Legislation Temporarily Set
Aside By Federal Injunction.

Until the federal courts finally de-
termine whether the state of Oregon
has or has not the right to enact legis-
lation governing the waters of the
Columbia river from bank to bank and
to enforce these laws, anyone who
was permitted to fish in these waters
under the law as it stood previously
to June last may pursue their occu-
patton unmolested. This is the effect
of an injunction granted in the matter
of the state of Washington against the
fish warden of this state. Oregon fish
ermeu intervening. asked that the in
junction which was recently granted
restraining the Oregon authorities from
interfering with Washington fishermen
in the Columbia river he extended so
as to permit Oregon fisnhermen the
same privilege. 1t was contended by
the Oregon fishermen that as the mat
ter stood Washington fishermen could
come over into Oregon waters and take
fish unmolested by the Oregon author
tiles, whereas the Oregon fishermen
we're prohibited from fishing on either
side of the river. United States Dis
trict Judge Charles E. Wolverton, took
the same view that the Oregon fisher
men did and enlarged the scope of the
injunction as requested.
From now until the supreme court
of the United States decides the "Chris
Nelson" case, the same laws will
govern the actions of the Oregon au-
thorities that did before the people
under the initiative and referendum
law, last June enacted the acts which
are at the bottom of the controversy
between the states of Oregon and
Washington over the jurisdiction of
the Columbia river.

CARRIED HIS GUILT
But Would Rather Go to Heaven
Through Penitentiary With a
Clear Conscience.
Truth is stranger than fiction.


Fifteen years ago, in Wolf Creek
southern Oregon, two men were in
love with the same girl. One of them
was the assistant postmaster. The
other lived out of town. With this
latter one says the Oregon Daily Jour
ual. the girl oorresponded.
Letters passed back aud forth for
some time, until one day letter ad-
dressed to the young woman got no
farther than the Wolf Creek postoffice.
1t was from the ut-of town man, far
away.
That letter was intercepted by the
assistant postmaster. The man never
wrote again. He thought that the
girl had thrown him down. And the
girl-well. tor years she wondered
why ho had never written.
But the assistant postmaster knew,
and he played bis cards we'll. In fact,
he won--won the belle of Wolf Creek
the girl of his choice.
The two-the girl and the postmas
ter-were married. Their lives have
been happy all these years, but the
man has had something ON his mind.
For more than Il years the assistant
postmaster has carried this secret of
the intercepted letter in his heart. No
one ever knew.
The other day an old man hobbled
up the stairs of the federal building.
He said he wanted to see the authori-
ties Said that his guilty conscience
--contrition-had been bothering him
and that he wanted to tell some one in
the government service of bow he won
the affections of his wife.
He said his name was J. Smith, and
that he came from Wolf Greek to Port
land where 10 years ago he had been
in the postal service. And then, with
tears in his eyes, the old man related
his experience with the letter of his
rival, how he destroyed it and the girl
never knew until he told her--told
her when she was his wife. And all
he asked was forgiveness.
This wns years afterward, be said,
just recently, in fact. And he said
that she had forgiven him. But all
in all, that if he was to be punished
for his foolishness he was prepared to
suffer the consequences.
After coming to Portland to live,
Smith, became q member of the organ
ization known as the Tongues of Fire.
Since he became religious the inter
ception of the letter 10 years ago has
preyed on his mind until be just had
to tell some one.
Mr.. Smith will not be prosecuted.
The Athena press. [volume] (Athena, Umatilla County, Or.) 18??-1942, 1908-10-02

Mr.. Smith says bis wife is satisfied
that she has never regretted having
married him.
Furthermore, he says that be would
rather go to heaven through the peni-
Tertiary with a clear conscience than
to bell with a burden like the inter
cepted letter on his mind.

ENFORCING BLUE Law, FARCE
Oregon's Antiquated Sunday Statute
is busted off and Tried Out.

Fifty store and shop keepers, repre-
senting practically every class of bust
ness except saloons, were placed under
arrest at Portland, Sunday in an effort
to pat into effect blue law which
has been resting ia undisturbed peace
on the statute books of the state since
it was enacted some so years ago.
The storekeepers gave hail in the sum
of $50 each and returned to the peace
ful pursuit of their business. No at
tempt was made, and it is understood
none will be made to enforce actual
closing Of stores until the constitution
ality of the entire act is tested.
The law under which the arrests
were made was passed by the leglsla-
tuIe in 1864 and makes it unlawful to
conduct on Sunday any class of bust
ness except drug shops, livery stables,
bakeries and butcher shops.
Until week ago, there is no record
of its ever having been utilized except
for forcing the provision against dram
shops and tippling Places
Last Sunday District Attorney
George J. Cameron called the atten-
tion of Chief of Police Charles Gritz-
macher to the statute, and suggested
that it be enforced against pool and
billiard rooms and cigar stands, in OF
der to put stop to the insulting Of
women by the hangers-on of these
places.
Chief Gritzmacher announced that
if the statute was to be enforced against
one class would enforce it against all,
and to this the district attorney
agreed.

WATERING PoTTED PLANTS.
Moisture Should Not Be Applied I'm
less Surface Is Dry.

from the Portland Oragonian.
There are but three ways to water
flowers, two wrong ways and one right
one. Many people adhere to the plan
Of frequent application of small amounts
Of water. Thus the soil about the ton
Of the pot is constantly moist. but the
lower two-thirds of the soil is entirely
dry. BY this method the upper roots
are nourished. while the lower roots,
which demand water. soon die and the
plant is continually in an unhealthy con-
dition.
Directly opposite to this is the plan of
outwatering which many persons thought
lessly follow. They water their plants
thoroughly today, tomorrow they apply
the same amount, and so they go from
one day to another. The result is that
the soil Is kept saturated with moisture.
1t is In the condition of mud all the time.
a condition that suits only aquatic plants.
and one in which the ordinary plant will
soon become diseased.
The stagnant water will sour the soil
and the roots will begin to decay. BY
and by the plant dies. Either of the
above mentioned methods is equally de-
structive to healthy plants
There is only one right way When
you water a plant do it thoroughly: in
fact be sure every particle of soil is
wet Then do not apply any more until
the surface of the soil is really dry. AS
long as the surface of the soil looks damp
you may rest assured that the rest of
1t contains sufficient moisture. Enough
should be given, as stated above, to COM
pletely saturate all the soil in the pot
If proper drainage is given all surplus
water, that Is, all water that the soil
cannot take up and hold, will run off at
the bottom OF the pot through the hole
provided for this purpose. By proper
drainage we mean that something must
be placed in each pot to keep the soil
from washing down and stopping up the
hole
