THE MOON Is GOING TO FALL.

THE MOON Is GOING To FALL.
Certain scientists claim that there is
q perceptible though faint closing in
of the planets because of the attrac-
tion. That is to say, the moon is
slowly getting nearer the earth, every
year. They even go SO far as to figure
the possible time, when it will be
drawn SO close that it will lose its
balance and fall. But there Is no
danger that golden grain belt beers
will ever lose their exquisite balance,
OF fall in their high quality. Order of
e. s. Tanner, Little Falls.

CANNOT DRAIN THEM
Judge Taylor Gives Such
Decision insRseard to
meander0d Lakes

That the meandered lakes OF the
state which are of benefit to the
general public for fishing, boating or
public water supply or that are not
grassy or OF a marshy character, can.
not be legally drained, is decision by
Judge M. d Taylor IN regard to the
draining of five lakes IN the town of
Dane Pralrle, Ottertal county.
The case is one in which the farmers
of Dane Prairie asked that the dfain-
age proceedings connected with con.
struction of q county ditch be dis
missed, after the original petition for
construction of the county ditch had
been reported favorabiy BY the viewers
and had been ordered constructed BY
the board OF county commissioners de.
spite the remonstrance Of the. dane
Prairie farmers, who thereupon ap.
pealed to the Ottertall county district
court. TIE case may be taken to the
supreme court.
Following 10 the note appended to
the courts decision.
Meandered lakes are public waters
hold by the state in trust for the pub
Tic. Draining them Is the destruction
Of one public right for tho sake of
another public benefit, and the
authority therefor must be clear and
unambiguous.
The judicial prerequisites to the ex-
ercise of such authority must be
established with clearness and cor.
tsinty. The statutory prerequisites to
the draining of meandering lakes are:
That ''such lake 10 normally shall
low and grassy and OF q marshy char
acter;' or
2. That such lake is no longer of
sufficient volume to be capable Of
beneficial public use of substantial
character for fishing, boating or pub.
Tic water supply"
am unable to lind as a fact from
the evidence that the lakes in contro.
versy come within either class.
They consist mainly of open water
OF considerable depth. They contain
vegetation in various places but it
does not appear that this.is generally of
grassy character or different from
the water plants usually found in lakes
of moderate depth. The evidence is
not sufficient to establish that they are
grassy and of marshy character"
within the statute. The height OF
water in these lakes varies in wet and
dry years, but 1t does not appear that
there has been q permanent or sub.
stautial change in either the depth or
area since the government survey.
The law implies that a--lake of suffii-
cent size to be meandered and not
grassy or marshy is deemed capable of
beneficial use and the authority of
drain is granted only when the lake
''is no longer of sufficient depth and
volume to be capable Of such use.
The law does not confer power to
drain small lakes but only those that
are grassy and marshy in those in
which the water has reached so that
they are no longer capable of use for
any Of the purposes specified.

The time for filing petitions 10
refer bills passed by the last leg
islature ended Friday midnight.
All bills enacted by that assembly
and not referred became laws at
that hour. The bills referred Will
not become laws unless a majority
of those voting upon them at the
regular election. one year from
next fall cast their vote i'll favor
OF the bills. The Legislature itself
referred four constitutional amend
ments. the tunnel bill and the
guarantee sections of the bank
ers' bill to the people. There were
eight petitions filed referring bills
enacted by the assembly. one Of
which petitions was for the refer
ence of the entire bankers bill.
This makes a total of thirteen
measures that will be passed up
on by the people at the next cleo
tion under the referendum. They
still have the right to initiate
bills and according to general dis
cussion. there will. perhaps. be as
many initiated as have been re-
ferred.
