For example there are within twenty

Ownership Of Waters.

In the present case, the court is ex-
pected to decide the ownership of the
waters of river running through two
or more states and also the question
whether the courts of one state have
right to render decisions affecting
the titles to land lying within anoth-
err state.
Charles c. Boynton, attorney for the
Hickey interest, denied this argument
today. He declared that the old ques-
ton of state rights was again involv-
ed in this case. If the precedent
were established in this case, the
courts of Louisiana or of any other
state lying along the lower parts Of
the Mississippi river, might assume to
regulate the titles of land lying as
far away as the banks of the Missouri
river in Montana. Even the courts
of Canada, he said, might assert their
right to take cognizance of the
conditions in the United States af-
fecting land lying along streams

counties.

Miller and Lux began the original
action in the Uunited States circuit
court in Nevada in 1908. to restrain
the Hickey interests from using the
waters of the Walker river in Cali
fornia, which they alleged deprived
them of their supply in Nevada. Rick
ey pleaded lack Of jurisdiction on the
part OF the court, but Judge Hawley
OF the United States circuit court of

regulate the title to land in Califor-

Birds of all kinds are becoming

gists. According to no less an authori-
ty than Comte Clary, president Of the
st. Hubert club, the danger of extinc-
ton of the winged species is incre9 sed
by the use of aeroplanes.
"All who were present during the avi-
alton contests at Rheims" said Comte
Clary the other day at Paris. twill re-
call that the behavior of the frighten-
ed birds as the aeroplanes rose was a
picturesque feature in the early part
Of the week In some cases they seem
ed to be paralyzed with fear. while in
others they scudded away with loud
cries. By the end of the week few
birds were to be seen on the field. The
same was true in other parts of Fra nee
where aviation meets were held"
The proprietor OF a large estate in
the south Of France says that he has
