JUSTICE IN THE NORTH.
Alaskan Paper Tells What May Hap
pen 10 Robbers.

The Seward Alaska, Gateway says
of the crime of robblng caches in the
north:
The lesson taught the five muhers
who were guilty of plundering the
Alaska Central Railway company's
warehouse, should be taken as hint,
at least, to others who are going over
thetrail.
Robbing Of caches and the unne-
cessary taking Of goods that belong
to another is becoming all too COM
mon. The result is likely to be, that
in places remote from towns where
legal recourse can not be had to legal
methods to obtain redress, punish
ment will be summarily administer
ed by the injured party.
The people of Alaska, who have
known hardships incident to the from
tier, are ever ready to give help when
It is need, and that too, without the
red tape of the eastern charitable as
sociation which would let man
starve to death while trying to dis
cover all the antecedents, habit and
tendencies of the man in distress.
Help Is given to the man in need
here and no insulting questions ask
ed. There is no occasion, therefore
for dishonesty, or for one to take
what belongs to another with intent
to defraud.

Like huge whirllng gyroscope the

staggering country nearly upright
again. It's billions of new wealth
from the crops of 1927 have spun
round the circle of trade and their
circuits have righted the reellng ship

Tremendous forces were dragging
down Uncle Sans wonderful prosper
ity. were jerking furlously at the ma
tion's equilibrium. But the huge
gyroscope kept revolving. even in
creasing its speed. The farmers were
paid cash for their wheat, their corn.
their oats and their livestock; the
cotton planters were paid cash for
their cotton The farmers and the
cotton planters paid their merchants;
the merchants paid their wholesalers;
and the wholesalers checks went to
the manufacturers. The crop had
been moved" and this notwithstand-
ing the fact that only part of the
grain had actually left the farms, that
the actual shipment of cotton was
only fraction of the total produc-
tion.
All the crop was not needed stimuli
taneously. In fact II the whole of It
had been distributed at once 1t would
have overwhelmed railroads, elevat-
ors and shipping. Think of 1t; 1t was
valued at $2,225, 100000, for there
were 634,OS7OOO bushels of wheat.
2,592,S20, 900 bushels of corn, I54,443,-
600 bushels of oats produced in the
United States alone, and nowadays
the worlds values are fixed by the
worlds supply. More than $4,000
900, 900 has been added to the natur-
al wealth as the result of the seasons
crop.
Nowadays the telegraph and the
telephone have enabled the farmer to
keep in touch with the prices made
on the great exchanges by the worlds
supply and demand, and he sells as
suits his convenience and pocketbook
best. for in those exchanges he has
the whole worlds bids of buyers and
sellers to rely upon. The offerings
of a dozen producing nations on the
Liverpool and Chicago Boards Of
Trade meet the tense buying of the
world in a ceaseless contest Of
strength. Thus a market is establish
ed that swallows every carload or
trainload of grain that the producers
of a country or state have to offer.
1t isn't all for immediate delivery, and
causes no plethora nor depression of
prices. g.yHH
Always there is cash for the man
with a granary full of wheat or crib
full of corn, and he can deliver as
suits him, best, for the markets are
adjusted for a year-round demand.
He is not bound by a hard-and-fas
necessity of tossing his crop into the
avalanche of the worlds grain pro-
ductlon If he needs cash for pressing
obligations He probably will not
want to assume the risk Of holding
his grain at once because the roads
are bad. or his horses are not up"
for work.

WHAT CAUSES INDIGESTION?
To Pc Cured. Weakness of Stomach
Muscles Must Be Overcome.

The chief cause Of indigestion is the
lack of gastric juice.
BY taking Mi-o-na stomach tablets
the stomach muscles will be stimu-
lated and strengthened and the flow
Of gastric juice will be increased. Mi
o-na does not do the stomach's work;
1t makes the stomach strong enough
to do it, In this way the trouble is
completely cured and there is no fur
ther need Of medicine.
No matter how severe case of
stomach trouble you have, Mi-o-na
viii cure 1t by strengthening the
whole digestive system, and you will
soon find that both stomach and
bowels do their work as they should.
Tallman & Co. sell Mi-o-na in So
cent boxes, and guarantee to refund
the money if the remedy does not give
complete satisfaction.
If you suffer with sick headache,
heartburn, bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, specks before the eyes,
sleeplessness, nervous troubles. or any
Of the other symptoms Of Indigestion,
here is the chance to get remedy on
the falrest plan ever known-costs

of this resolution TO each subordinate

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-03-20

The grange of oregon is taking an
active part in securing a better wa
ter code for Oregon and some excel
lent agitation along this line is being
done. Pomona Grange of Multnomah
county is the latest to take action in
this matter and at a meeting this
week adopted the following resolu-
ton, indorsing better water code:
Whereas, Titles to water are of
equal Importance with titles to land,
and it appears that a water right
should be as easily ascertained, as
clearly defined, as secure and in all
respects as definite as perfect title
20 land, and
Whereas, 1t is apparent that with
out a definite system of water right
titles and adequate protection by the
state, our waterusers are burdened
with costly and apparently unending
litigation; our present constructed
works are deprecated in value; the
United States hesitates to construct
irrigation systems; private capital de-
clines to invest; homeseekers go to
other states and countries. where the
purchase of an irrigated farm does
not mean the purchase Of a lawsuit,
and thus our development is serious
ly retarded, and
Whereas, 1t appears that our pres
ent water laws are defective in the
following points:
/. It is impossible to ascertain
from any public record the amount
Of unused water which may remain in
our streams subject to appropriation
10 beneficial uses.
2. The unit of measure prescrib-
ed by law is neither a unit of volume
nor rate of flow but a most abb
surd tumble of the two and utterly
meaningless. SAM

use of water. County records show
"claims" which may or may not be
valid. also 1Rdjudications within the
county. but nowhere are the records
of river systems (Which usually run
through more than one county, con-
centrated.
4. Many bitches divert public wa
ters without any record whatever,
there being no penalty to enforce
compliance with the law in this re-
spect.
8. The notice, prima facia evil
dence of title to water, can specify
any amount, even though it exceed the
regular flow of the stream.
6. IN all water right adjudicaa-
tions, the public is vitality interested
in protecting its unappropriated wa
ters for future users. With but one
exception the state has not been rep
resented at trial of such actions.
No. I. No water suit in this state
has ever settled any issue in such a
way that they cannot again be rails
ed. and no titles to the use of water
are immune from litigation.
8. Our water laws cannot be
found by a study Of the statutes alone
but must be sought for in a long Sc
ries of decisions by our supreme court
and apparently are so conflicting that
our ablest lawyers differ In opinion
on the most fundamental points. This
law is incomplete and inadequate, and
has been, and is, in a state of flux.
Disputes are decided by the logic of
judges rather than by statutes of the
legislature. Few know what the law
is today none know what it may be
tomorrow; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That 1t is the sense of
the Multnomah District Pomona
Grange that it is the duty Of the state
Of oregon at the earliest possible
time, to codify and enacta complete
concise and definite water law, leav-
ing to the courts only the mere in
depreciation of this law on such occa-
sion as it might be brought into dis
pute, and be it further
Resolved, That such law should
be based upon the best experience of
other states and countries. such as
Wyoming. Idaho and Canada, and
should include the following funda-
mental principles:
/. That no water right should be-
come vested except by direct grant
from the state.
2. To provide a system whereby
