Decision Affects Water Rights.

HELENA, Feb. 21.-The doctrine of
riparian water rights has never pre-.
vailed in Montana and lie in conflict
with the appropriation of water, says
Judge William II. Hunt in q memo.
randum order for q decree entered to-
day in the federal court in the iniunc-

the Colorado Smelling and Mining
company, and others, involving the
right to the use OF and pollution of the

along the stream, and took water from
it to irrigate his ranch. He alleged
that poisonous and deleterious sub.
stances In the water 81 q result of the

not recover for the injury done to his
fields by polluted water which he, %

rilv and with knowledge of the nature
of the use by prior sppropriators,
took out of the river and spread on

PREPARING FOR N

A bulletin issued by the federal de.
partment of commerce and labor says
the explicit and lengthy printed In.
structions to the census enume ators,
which have been prepared by the
United States census bureau, give a
clear idea Of the character of the an.
swers expected from the people of the
United States with regard to the Ques-
lions in the population schedule to be
carried In the decennisl census April
Is next.
All answers are to have reference
solely to the ''census day." which is
April Is. Persons living on that day,
but who died after It and before the
enumerators call, + to be counted.
but persons born after April Is are
not to be included in the count. Per.

they have married subsequently and
before the canvasser has called. This
is true, similarly, of persons who be.
came widowed or divorced after April
is.
The census law provides that all
persons shall be enumerated at their
usual place of abode" on April Is.
This means the place where they may
be said to live or belong or the place
which is their home. Az q rule, the
usual place of abode Is not the place
where q person works or where he eats,
but where he regularly sleeps. Euum-
orators are cautioned. however, that
where q man happens to sleep at the
time Of the enumeration may not be
tho place where he regularly sleeps.
There will be q humber of persons
having their usual places of abode In
enumeration districts who will be ab.
sent April Is. These are to be in.
cluded and enumerated after the facts
regarding them have been obtained
from their families, relatives, &C.
quaintances, or other persons able to
give the information. For instance,
II q member of any family in an enum.
Grafton district is temporarily away
from home on q visit, or on business,
or travelling for pleasure. or attending
school or college, or sick in q hos
pital, such absent person is. to be
enumerated and included with other
members of the family. But q son or
daughter regularly living in another
locality should not be counted with
the family at home.

Will Increase Representation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-Oficials of
the United States census bureau be.
lieve the approaching 18th census will
disclose a population in the United
States proper of approximately 49,

same ratio for congressional repre-.
sentation as that used for apportion-
ment after the 18th census-that is,
one representative to each 1874, 1872
population-the house of representa-
tives will have 457 members, exclusive
of territorial delegates. This would
be an increase over the present mum.
Der of 66.

thought by many to be already too
large and unwieldly for the quick dis.

some. The question, therefore, to be
decided by congress is: Will the
house agree to any apportionment
that will reduce its membership?
Judging from past performances it
will not. 1t would be difficult to dis
cover q single congressman who would
be willing to legislate himself out of
q job; hence there will be, it is be-.
lieved, no effort in the house o in.

A Roland For an Oliver.

"a Roland for an Oliver is an ex-
preston that dates from the time of
Charlemagne. Roland was his neph-
ew and, like the great Charles, was
eight feet high. Oliver, a celebrated
knight Of the same period, vas quite
a match for him, and they agreed to
test their respective strength and skill
In a combat on an island In the Rhine.
The contest lasted five days without
the slightest advantage to either. IL
Roland got in q well directed blow his
opponent gave him quite as good a
one In return, or If Oliver performed q
feat of extraordinary skill Roland was
sure to match It with q movement
quite as adroit. 1t was d remarkable
and altogether unsettled combat, and
1t gave rise to the saying "a Roland
for an Oliver" when a person who
has attacked another receives q blow
or a retort fully equal to what he has
given. Whatever 1t may be that Is
received, a return in kind is often
called "a Roland for. an Oliver"

Elephants Coed Workers.

Elephants are used in every depart
ment OF sawmills in Burma. In the
work Of piling logs they show great
intelligence. One elephant will drag
a log out of the water to the saw
bench and place 1t with his tusks on
the table, while his mate waits at the
other end, ready. as soon as the buzz
ing circular saw has converted the
round tree into a four sided log, TO lift
1t off the bench, place it on the ground
and drag 1t out to the storage yard,
where he puts it carefully into posi-
ton, placing one log exactly OF top
of the other. Elephants can pile logs
as high as their foreheads. When the
squared logs are wanted for shipment
the elephant picks out the required
number and drags them down to the
waterside. If it is necessary he en-
tiers the river and holds the logs tn po-
sition while they are being bound to-
gether by the raftsmen.
