Ten-Cent Joy Ride

Through the generosity of Mrs.
Cameron of Milwaukee, who was Wis
iting friends here, the Christian En-
deavor social was able, Monday even
ing, to offer a decided novelty to the
public in the line of entertainment,
and incidentally net a tidy sum for
the benefit of the society. Mrs. Cam
eron kindly loaned her $4,000 Loco
mobile touring car for the evening,
and opportunity was given for see
ing Warrens' from an automobile at
10 cents ride, with one of the best
drivers in the country at the wheel
Adrian Cameron personally conducted
the trips.
Burt Nelson, who drove the auto,
and who is an expert, gave those
who rode a few extra thrills for their
1oney, including the sensations Of
frOller-coaster,' 'shoot-the-chutes, etc.
Needless to say there was a lively
demand for seats, and some of the
tinid ones who at first feared to
ride in the fast machine, afterward
rode again and again.
''The visit of this automobile here
and trips over all Of our roads have
demonstrated that a good car can
travel our worst hills and sand high
ways with apparent ease.
''The hearty thanks of the Chris
tian Endeavor society are due Mrs.
Cameron for her generosity, and she
made many friends during her stay
here. The party proceeded to Grand
Rapids Tuesday.

INJURY TO RIGHT EYE

John Ernser, while returning with
J. R. Ragan's delivery team from the
West Side Thursday afternoon, was
struck in the right eye by some fly
ing bug with such force that it cut
the eye-lid and bruised it so badly
that he has been obliged to lay off
on account of it. He suffered a
great deal of pain from the injury
and his eye is very badly inflamed
from it, He has no idea just what
it was that hit him, but he thinks
that it was some hard shelled bug.

MARY BAKER
EDDY IS S8
Founder of Christian Science
Passes Anniversary Quietly
at Home.

Boston, Mass, July 16.-Notwith-
standing the recent reports alleging
her to be dead or very near to
death, Mrs Mary Baker G. Eddy,
the founder of Christian Science, to-
day added another milestone to her
LIES journey, and according to those
IN closest touch with her she passed
the day in accordance with the rOu-
tine she has followed for several
years. At her beautiful home in
Chestnut Hill she spent the morning
in reading and writing and after
luncheon she took her customary
drive. This daily drive Mrs. Eddy
has seldom missed since she removed
to Brookline from Concord, N. H.,
two years ago.
Naturally enough, Mrs. Eddy does
not think much of birthdays or of
their cumulative effects and in ac-
cordance with her wish there was
no observance of the anniversary at
Chestnut Hill. Her views in regard
to the matter are well known to
her followers and friends, and as
consequence she received few con-
gratulatory messages or floral trib-
utes.
Mrs. Eddy was born in Bow, n. H.,
eighty-eight years ago, and those
who have had the privilege of meet
ing her recently declare that for a
woman of her age she is remark
ably vigorous and active.

TITLE TO
WATER POWERS
Moses Hooper Issues Pamphlet
on This Question, Support
ing Riparian Ownership.

Title to Water Powers of Navi-
gable Rivers in Wisconsin-Do They
Belong to the State or the Riparian"
is the name of a publication issued
by Moses Hooper of this city. The
publication is in the form of a brief
in behalf of the riparian claim, but
instead of being submitted to court
1t has been issued by Mr.. Hooper
for educational purposes only and
copies Of the brief have been dis
tributed among many people who are
interested in the subject.
Mr.. Hooper in the preface Of his
brief said: "a contention has arisen
respecting the relation Of the state
on the one side, and the riparian on
the other side, to the water powers
of the navigable rivers Of Wiscon-
sin. There are those who claim that
the water powers, being natural re-
sources, are owned, and should be
held by the state.
if the riparian does not own such
water powers, yet he needs state ac-
ton to authorize him to improve the
same. Hence that the state should,
if it can, prevent the Improvement
except upon conditions advantageous
to the state and burdensome to the
riparian. This brief has been pre-
pared in the interest of the riparian"
Continuing, Mr.. Hooper said: 1T
has been universally held to be
private property, and to be owned
by the riparian, subject and servient
to the dominant easement Of the pub
lie for uses Of navigation. The ri
parian has been assessed on, and
paid taxes on, it's valuation. He has
built mills of all kinds and operated
them by it's use under claim of right
from the earliest settlement of the
state Such facts are very persua-
sive. 1t is maxim that common
error makes law
Mr.. Hooper then takes up the his
tory of legislation along the line in
Wisconsin and the state decisions,
and says: can unbroken line of
state uecisions maintains the same
rule and declares the water powers
to be the property Of the riparian"
In the brief he quotes the various
decisions of the courts to verify his
statement.
He makes the statement that ''In
the end Of the question will be for
the federal supreme court. This
court has determinedly sustained
rules of property once established
by the state courts Mr.. Hooper
in closing his brief said: whether
it is right that there should be prl-
vate ownership of natural resources
is a question with which this brief
does not meddle When timber shall
become of public use and hence the
state may take it; when farm land
shall become of public use and hence
the state may take it; then if water
power shall become of public use,
the state may take it.
''But until we reach the time when
all natural resources shall be held
to be sovereign property, inalienable
by the state, it would seem that wa
ter powers should continue to be helS
private property of the riparian, to
be taken for public use only on max
ing just compensation
