ARGUE TO ENJO|N
COMPANY TAKING
PASSA|C WATER
Attorney-Genera Wilson. Seeks
to Save Stream Under
Law of 1888.

Vfce-C Chancellor Stevens today lis
tened to arguments made by Attorney
General Wilson why the East Jersey
Water Company should be stopped
from taking water from the Passaic
river at Little Falls to supply water to
Bayonne. Harrison, East Newark,
Kearny and Nutley.
The attorney-general contended that
h company was taking water from
the river Illegally. as under the pro
visions of the law of 1888, which was
enacted to protect the Delaware river
at P~hillipsburg, the Passaic river
at Little Falls was also protected. He
also maintained that the State had
control of all potable water above tide
water.
William H. Corbin, who represented
the water company, said that as the
company was a riparian owner at Lit
tie Falls 1t had a right to take water
and do as 1t pleased with 1t.
Mr.. Corbtn, In his argument, con-
tended that the scheme of impound1ng
water had been approved by the courts,
and that while the East Jersey Com
pany did fmpound the water from the
Passaic river, 1t did not use any part of
1t, as 1t was all sold to corporations
which were not financially able to get
the water that was given to them by
the East Jersey Company. He also
commended that where water ran
through farm lands the State had no
control whatever over 1t.
Chancellor Stevens said that the
Roman law showed that the State had
control and it also recognized a double
control.
ME- Corbin continuing said that the
State had been advised of what was be-
ing done In supplying water. He also
cited the reports of the State g%eologist
in regards to the formation of the land
excavations, which were made by the
| before the contract was en-
tered into with the city of Newark. and
he also commended that the State had no
grounds on which to base It's case. He
also commended that the act of 1876 did
not refer to any other river, except the
| Delaware, and that the places supplied
with water were just as guilty as the
company.
Acknowledgement Wilson, in his argu-
ment, said that the State had the right
to enjoin the East Jersey Company. as
it arose from necessity. He said that
the State is a riparian owner of the
land under the Passaic river, and other
rivers in the State, and that the charge
is that the company is doing an unlaw-
full act by taking water from the Pas
said river. under the laws 1875 and 1883,
as it is not applied to he
river only. but to all rivers that run
through OF into this State.

in 1876 that the state was compelled to
provide the destitute farmers with seed
grain, and in the spring Governor Pills
bury designated certain Sunday as q
day of prayer It was so observed in
every church in Minnesota, and within
a few days an unexpected frost caught
the squirming larvae and wholly destroy:
ed them.
This year locusts have done much
damage, but the crop in this section is
so much better than the average that
the farmers have paid little attention
to them. For a week, however. the
insects have been swarming, and their
flights, while not on a prodigious scale,
greatly resemble those of third of a
century ago. In fields that have been
examined it has been found that the
ground is perforated with holes where
the insects have deposited their eggs,
and it is this fact that causes farmers
to oregard the locust as real menace.

and it will be difficult thing to buy
stock again, as there will not be much
in the state that can be bought when
feed becomes more abundant.
He also calls attention to the fact
that it has taken time to get the stock
and the blood lines that one knows, so
that it would take years to get back
into good stool again. It would mean
a setback of several years in ones
farming. Grain that is not fit for mar
ket will make good stock food nd
should be utilized in this way.
Those who have planted corn this
year will be in good shape to take care
of their stock. Those who sell their
stock will find that it will be shipped to
the states to the south that are growing
more corn and there corn-fed. This
corn can be grown in this state, and
this year is good time to take note of
the corn crop and what it will do. In
the absence of any other feed, utilize
the old straw stack, or new straw if it
can be had; it will not be an ideal ra-
tion, but it will be better than disposing
of the stock.

Washington, Aug. PAN investiga-
tion of more than usual Importance into
the excessive use of "dope'' in soothing
syrup for children is to be started by
Judge William Delacey, Judge of the

The investigation seems to be the
practical result of investigation
made some time ago by the department
of agriculture in which medicines that

terly assailed.
Judge Delacey as a federal official
will have unusual authority and facil-
tiles for making a complete study of
the subject and enforcing his findings,
as this is federal jurisdiction.
The following soothing syrups have
been officially designated by the United
States government chemist and experts,

The Soldiers Wall.

The Forum of last Friday contained
the following "pome,' said to have
been written by one of the members of
the North Dakota National Guard while
in camp at Sparta, Wis, recently:
In the wilds of bleak Wisconsin, in a
wilderness of sand,
With the si:kly oaks and underbrush
about on every hand,
There's lost battalion stranded, there
to vegetate and rot,
The outside world forgotten and by the
world forgot.
Around us forest fires rage, the air is
parched and dry.
A blood red sur glares daily from a
dismal, smoky sky.
Mosquitoes, flies and rattlesnakes, help
weave charming spell;
If we had a barrel Of birthstone, we
could start frst-class h-ll.
1t seems an age since we left home, to
seek this goddess land,
A hundred miles of dusty roads, and a
hundred more of sand.
Our blistered feet and worn out shoes,
the story meekly tell.
We hiked two weeks to get here, and
into Hades we fell
The flies all carry corkscrews, the
mosquitoes all wear spurs,
The rocks are full of copperheads and
the sand is full of burrs, -.. -.
The grass is full of rattlesnakes, the
air is full of fleas,
And the damned incinerators lend their
fragrance to the breeze.
The gentle breezes murmur, as they
blow and blow and blow,
Then sand goes flying through the air
like Minnesota snow,
1t grinds itself to powder and sifts
about like flour,
And would keep your rags in color if
you washed them every hour.
The hospital corps is on the ground with
pills and knives and splint, ..
They bury men at midnight to keep
them out Of print,
lay them safe away,
And when the cruel war is over they'll
divvy up their pay.
Farewell to North Dakota, goodbye
to old Fargo, ..g. ....
Well never see our home again, our
steps are getting slow,
So when your children pass this land
where heroes fought and bled,
They'll find slender column raised to
the unknown dead. .......
Too far gone to sign.

in his annual report, shows that. the
amount of stock in this state has de-
creased in the last five years, and de-
creased more than the breaking up of
ranges will account for. The amount
of stock in Illinois has also decreased,
and the number of cattle, hogs and
sheep is decreasing. This is not a good
sign.
In view of the shortage of hay and
fodder in some sections, Professor Shep-
perd is urging the farmers to keep their
stock if at all possible. In sections
where this condition prevails the price
that can be realized will not be good,

PREDICT GRASS
HOPPER PLAGUE
NicoIIet County Old Settlers Look Forward
to Visitation Of the 6rasshop- :,
per Plague Throughout
ia Minnesota in
1911.

IA special of the 10Th inst. from St.
Peter, Minn., to the Minneapolis Jour-
nal, says: Old settlers of, Nicollet coun-
ty predict plague of grasshoppers for
southern Minnesota in 1911. Flights
of locusts that have been seen during
the last few days have revived the old
fear of the pests, and they declare that,
a year hence, there will be an invasion
which will rival the visitation of 1874,5.
That there are grounds for their APP
prehensions is admitted, and the history
of ''grasshopper times,' is such that
many farmers are talking of plans to
destroy the pests. The first invasion of
locusts of which there is an authentic
record occurred in 1857, large areas in
Nicollett and LIE Sueur. counties suffer-
ing. Again in 1865 great damage to
crops was done by the insects, but it
was in 1875 and 1876 that they made
themselves terror to allparts of Min

LOCUSTS BY MILLIONS.
In the fall of 1874 vast quantities of
eggs were deposited in the ground, and
the following spring the locusts appear
ed by the millions. So numerous were
they that they deyoured every green
thing, and, when they migrated, they
flew in immense clouds. Growing crops
were cut to the earth and consumed,
the army. of locusts leaving in their
wake country that was wholly devas-
tated and BACKED as though by fire,
and for two years the farmers harvest
ed no crops.
To rid the country OF the plague
bounty was offered by many counties,
and even by the boards of supervisors
in individual townships. In Nicollet
county the board of county commission
ers adopted a resolution offering grad
uated bounty. the prices ranging from
$6 bushel for locusts taken in the
larvae stage to 81 bushel for those of
mature growth. With these prices as
an incentive hundreds Of persons drop
ped their ordinary vocations and took
up the more profitable employment of
locust but their efforts pro-
duced no appreciable effect upon the
swarm of insects.
1t was the custom to deliver the dead
locusts to persons designated by the
board of county commissioners, the To-
Gusts being buried in long trenches dug
for the purpose, and orders on the coun-
ty treasurer being issued in payment
for them.
COUNTY PAYS $18, 200.
The records show that in this way
Nicollet county paid out $l8, 900, and
it is estimated that nearly as much
more was appropriated from the town
ship treasures. Blue Earth, an adjoin-
ing county, did not abandon the practice
as soon as Nicollet, and practically ex-
hausted its credit, bonds being issued to
take up the locust orders and the same
forming part of its floating Indebtedness
for period of nearly twenty years.
So serious had the situation become
