Terence with the announcement
in reference to Hudson County
Water Company matters.
June ~.
In answer to the letter from the
encouragement, a conference was
arranged with him for June 30.
The commission held a conference
with the encouragement with
reference to matters having to do
with the Hudson County Water
Company and the East Jersey
water Company. The commission
was advised by the attorney-gen-
eral that the injunction heretofore
granted is still In force so far as to
prevent the diversion of surface
waters. In his opinion the act un-
der which the commission exists
gives 1t no Jurisdiction or control
over waters obtained from subter-
ranean sources.
October 3.
The commission adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
reSoiNeu, mat the attorney
general is respectfully requested
to ascertain il recent acts of the
Hudson County Water Company,
in laying mains in Jersey City. are
in violation of the Injunction
granted by the Court of Chancery
on the day of August %. 1905, and.
If in his Judgment the acts of the
company are such as will warrant
him in instituting contempt pro-
ceedings in such court, he be re-
quested to commence the same"

D., L. & W. WINS AND LOSES
AN ASSESSMENT APPEAL.
Tax on Ferry-HOuse Upheld, but
Rest Is Cancelled.

TRENTON, Oct. 26.-The State Board
of Equalization today disposed of the
appeal filed by the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad from the
assessment levied by the local asses
sors of Hoboken in the matter of the
taxation of the ferry property, and
holds that part of the assessment must
stand and part Is Cancelled.
The opinion of the board follows:
The facts in this case are: First, that
the entire property has been assessed
by the State Board of Assessors as
seeond-class railroad property, and the
taxes paid; second, that the assessors
of the city of Hoboken, in the county
of Hudson, have also assessed the same
property, claiming that the entire
property is not used for railroad pur-
poses. b7ti
The legal right OF the assessors of
the city of Hoboken to assess the lower
floor of the ferry-house having been
clearly established, we find from the
evidence that in the market value of
the lower floor on the goth day of May,
1897, was eighty-five thousand dollars
($85. 000), and to that amour the as
sessment of the assessors of the city
of Hoboken is affirmed. The majority
1t therefore is not subject under the
law to taxation by the local assessors,
and the assessment thereon by the as
SCISSORS of the city of Hoboken must be
cancelled.

TELLS
OF STATES WAR
ON WATER GRABS
CONTINUED from First Pngc.)

answer to certain questions pre-
sented for my consideration by your
note of May 18th. You ask: /. Has
the State Water Supply Commits
sion jurisdiction over waters pro-
cured from driven wells? 2. Has it
power to grant the right t o divert
out of the State waters procured
from driven wells? 8. Has 1t the
right to consent to the diversion of
such waters out of the State?
Such powers as your commission
may exercise must be found in the
act which established a State
Water Supply Commission (See
p. l.. 1907. page $3.50. This act de-
fines your powers and duties and
details the conditions under which
the waters of this State may be di-
verified. Such powers and duties as
are enumerated in the statute, and
all acts of diversion contemplated
by it, appear to relate wholly to
superficial water, and not water OBJ
tanned from subterranean sources.

that this statute confers no control
or jurisdiction Eel waters pro-
cured from driven wells. to use the
words employed in your first inter
rogatory. This conclusion will
serve as a responsive reply to each
of the questions above stated.
Your fourth inquiry is as fol-

to such diversion if such waters be
commingled with surafce water, pro-
vided means be taken to accurate

a fact that the plan of diversion
and distribution therein referred to
involves the actual delivery into
another State by conduits or other
wise of waters taken from any

river or any stream of this State,
such diversion and distribution is
made unlawful by legislative enact

therefore be withheld. tSee T.. l..

hand, you find as a fact that the

ing from a subterranean source
into another State by conduits or
otherwise, then am of the opinion
that though the delivery and dis

With the advent of spring-save

through the state, whose activities
have their chief promoters in the
women Of the cities in which they
are, have begun a CONSTANT
campaign for spring cleaning.
Cleaning in spring has long been
one of the long vocations of women
at that time, but the cleaning of
the past has been largely confined
to the interiors of the house, to
the rugs and the curtains, and
other furnishings. The new move
ment has to do more with the cities
themselves, with garbage cans and
barrels, and refuse heaps and
vacant lots, and the result of this
work, if persisted in. ought to be

There are many ways in which q
city can be beautified, but the first
of them is in cleanliness. There
are in all cities and towns good
many neglected places, to which
public attention ought to be di.

civis societies to call public atten.
tion to such spots and to devise
ways and means for cleaning them

Beach has never had a real
strong competitor, but if the rail-
roads go through north and south
of town it will give US competit-
ors on all sides. Good roads are
one thing that draws trade to a
town. Beach has the natural adj
vantage over any other town now
in the Valley or any that might
be established north or south,
when it comes to location, and
with good roads leading to the
city we would have great advant-
age over any possible competitor.
A live commercial club could do
wonders toward getting all the
principal roads fixed up that lead
to the city, and it would be an
effort put forth in the right direc-
tion.

The Beach Advance has advanced
and passed its first mile stone. be-
ing one year old last week.. To
say the least it is a healthy yearling,
and, no doubt, in time, it will be-
come as good newspaper as we
have in Billings county-if it's
friends stay by it until it be-
comes a little stronger Of limb,
sounder Of mind and wiser Of judg-
ment. But it will take time and
careful nursing. So far it has
done very good, as the Advance
editor said some time ago, he is
we'll satisfied with what the paper
has accomplished politically, con-
sidering the short time it has been
among us. One can not turn the
world upside down in minute,
nor in a short year; neither can a
small, weakly newspaper have
everything its own way politically
upon entering a new territory
even though it may have all the
ability Of which this yearling
boasts. It's amount of success is
no doubt due to its thousands of
friends Of which the editor
speaks. Many newspaper enter
prise is kept agoin' by its friends,
and the editor naturally enough
feels grateful.

Addition to Hotel

From the Pioneer, April o.
Owing to the extensive business
and increase demand for public &C.
commodations, in the way of sleep
ing quarters, the proprietors of the
Pickering hotel have deemed it
necessary to enlarge their place of
business, and this week the con-
tract was let to the Kalman Con-
struction company of Miles City for
the erection of a fine large addi-
tion on the west side, taking in the
corner lots. The dimensions of
the new which will be

two stories high, furnishing in all
ten large bed rooms and parlor.

story books. Miss Stavrun had

THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF BILLINGS COUNTY

The road leading to Beach from
the east, between the brick yard
and the city, is at last being fixed
up, thanks to the enterprising
Beach business men. The Chron-
icle can now turn it's attention to
something else, and we believe
this something else is a CONNER
cial club. 1t only took few hours
for a couple of the business men to
get this road proposition taken
care of. Just imagine what a
good commercial club could do
with everybody working together.
Moreover, a commercial club could
make improvements in more
satisfactory and less expensive
manner than can two or three
enterprising individuals. This
road could no doubt have been
fixed with less expense to the bust
ness men if commercial club had
charge of the matter and had taken
it up with the township officers.
But there was no commercial club
to make the move and the road
needed fixing. The way the bust
ness men donated toward this i'm.
provement shows that they are
willing to do anything to boost
the town alcng. It also shows
what q good commercial club could
do with all these business men a:
members.
Why can't we have such an or.
ganization?

During the recent campaign the
Chronicle was censured very Sc
verely by some for its statements
against our present auditor, j. A.
McGregor, who was elected on the
east side of the county and got
ahold of the auditors office for
another term by six votes MAORI
ty. We accused Mr.. McGregor of
many irregularities and unlawful
practices in conducting the
auditors office, and our readers
can now see that the Chronicle was
perfectly right in making these
accusations, by referring to the
minutes of the commissioners pro-
ceedings of this week. This is
only one of a number Of irregular
tiles that have been going on in
that office which the taxpayers
had to dig up for, and in which
Mr.. McGregor acted contrary to
law. Our readers are aware that
Mr.. McGregor's election is being
contested, on the grounds that he
used illegal methods in securing
votes among the foreigners in
several precincts. 1t is hoped by
all honest citizens that Mr.. Nc
Gregor will be thrown out of office
and stop put to this grating
business.

concerning himself.
He may be a burglar, or upon the
other hand he may be duke in dis

that will do as well as any other" he
said to Sheriff Feagin.
The fellow was arrested at Pres
ton upon the charge of having COM
mitted the burglary of a store at
Plains. Sheriff Feagin went to Pres
ton for him and brought him to Sum
ter county Jail, but has found out
little concerning him.
Some of his personal effects would
indicate that he was not studying for
the ministry.
Two fine steel rods, upon the ends
of each being a skeleton key, were
in his pocket, wrapped in handker-
chief. These keys, Sheriff FeagiD
says, will work in almost any lock.

upon stores in Plains.

as did the original keys made for the
locks.-Americus Times-Recorder.

REAL CANNIBAL ON VIEW.

Brings Along Dish on Which Mis-
siOnaries Were Served.
A real Fiji man arrived in Wash
ington last week to attend the Inter
national Convention of the Seventh
Day Adventists. He was armed with
club with which his former chief
in the South Sea Islands used to
beat the life out of American mis-
siOnaries, and also with a big dish
upon which the chief used to serve
up meat from these missionaries
bones.
Club and dish were brought along
as mute evidences of the conversion
of the Fiji chief, who now heads the
Seventh Day Adventists' Society in
the South Sea Isles. There are 1000
Seventh Day Adventists in Washing
ton to attend the convention, which
is being held out at the Tacoma
Park, suburb of Washington. They
hail from every state, as we'll as
