CONTROVERSY OVER CAILFOR-
MA RIVER, THE WALKER,
NOW IN SUPREME COURT OF
THE UNITED STATES.

Washington, jan IA contro-
versy between citizens of the states
of California and Nevada, involving
the right to use for irrigation and
other purposes the waters of the
Walker river, which flow in both
states. and attacking the jurisdiction
of the United States circuit court
in Nevada to interfere in the title
rights to lands in California, was ar
gued in the supreme court of the
United States today.
The case was originally entitled:
Miller & Lux versus Thomas P.
Hickey" The plaintiffs own about
$4,000 acres of land in Nevada, ~
ing along the Walker river, and the
defendant, Hickey, and associates
hold title to about 10000 acres To-
Gated in California along the head
waters of the same river and above
the Miller & Lux property.
Miller & Lux began the original
action in the United 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.
Hickey pleaded lack of Jurisdiction
On the part of the court, but Judge
Hawley of the United States circuit
court of Nevada held that he had a
right to regulate the titles to land in
California. The defendants then
brought suit in the superior court of
Mono county, CAL, against Miller &
Lux to quiet title to the California
land
Judge Hawley, upon application of
Miller & Lux, enjoined this action on
the ground of an invasion of the jur-
isdiction of the federal court The
circuit court of appeals at San Fran
cisco sustained the injunction ana the
case reached the United States SUI
preme court on the appeal of the Ne
vada parties from that affirmance.
The case is similar to that wherein
the waters of the Arkansas river were
in dispute between the citizens of
Kansas and Colorado some years
ago. and which was decided finally in
favor of Colorado. The decision in
that case, however, was founded on
the presumption that the people Of
Colorado would be more seriously
damaged by a decision against them
than would the people of Kansas.
In the present case the court is ex-
pected to decide the ownership of
the waters of a river running through
two or more states and also the ques-
ton whether the courts of one state
have right to render decisions af-
fecting the titles to land lying with
in another state.
Charles C. Boynton, attorney for
the Hickey interests, denied this right
in his argument today. He declared
that the old question of state rights
was again involved in this case. If
the precedent were established in this
case. he asserted, the courts of Louis
lana or of any other state lying along
the lower parts of the Mississippi
river, might assume to regulate the

throws the game begins to get excit-
ing. as the exact numbers necessary
to fill the card are seldom thrown.

Ek.
IFor some time past Egan Erickson, the
sensational high jumper of New York
. has been steadily getting closer to Har-
ry Porter, the worlds champion. in abl-
ity to clear the bar, but on only one
occasion has he defeated Porter and
that was last June. Every time they
have met Erickson has forced Porter to
jump close to the record to beat him.
He will have another chance at Cham
pion Porter Jan. IS. when the Pastime
A. C.. games are held in New York, and
many believe that he will at that time
succeed in beating Porter. 1t is said
that the promoters of the Chicago ath-
letic carnival are after Erickson to COM
pete at their meet
planned to hold number of indoor
matches. to be played between amateur
and professional elevens.
The national basketball champion
ship will be held in Chicago this year.
and it is hoped to hold the carnival
within a week of that event, so as
TO draw the best American basketball
talent available for a tourney. 1t is
also planned TO have two crack indoor
baseball teams meet on the board floor.
The program as arranged for them
is Of very interesting character. On
the second night of the big meet a
ten mile run, to be known as the in
door Marathon run. will be held. The
Illinois A. c. has already issued strict
rules regarding the Marathon run, and
every entrant viii have to undergo a
rigid physical examination before he
Is allowed to compete. Other distance
runs will be provided. such as the one,
two and ave mile runs. The sprint
races viii be numerous.

great sorrow one says. 'The king OF
Hunky- Bunky is defunct and dead.'
The other responds: ALAS. alas: How
died he?" The first person. with in
creased grief. says. "Just so. just so.
Just So" Then comes the response.
How sad. how sad. how sad!'
The couple rarely get beyond an
nouncing that the king is dead before
they are off in gales of laughter. A lit
tie prize may be awarded the couple
who completely finish the message.

box of candy or bunch Of flowers.
When one couple finishes or fails an
