House, No l Pleasant street, at $50 a. m.'
March 29th. Mr.. Maddocks had been in his
usual health, but had suffered for about eight
years with heart trouble, which caused his
death. In company with his brother-in-law,
Thomas B. Kennedy, who is employed at the ho-
tel, he had attended meeting of the Owls Tues
day evening. On their way home they stopped
at the Knowlton bowling alley and played
few strings After reaching the hotel they
talked for short time and the deceased re-
tired for the night with George Hustus. Shortly
after 8 o'clock Wednesday morning Mr.. Hustus
was awakened by the labored breathing of Mr..
Maddocks. AS on like former occasions every
thing possible was done for him and ply
sician summoned but did not arrive until after
his death. He was born in North Searsport,
May 20, 1880, the son of Horace and the late
Medora Ellis Maddocks. One brother, Sum-
ner D. Macdocks; sister. Sadie E., wife
of Thomas B. Kennedy, both of Belfast;
one half sister, Hattie M, and one half BROTH
er, Harry L. Maddocks, survive him. For
about year and half in company with his
brother, Sumner D., he had conducted the Com

port, where his youth and early manhood were
spent

Congdon Ditch People Start Lit.
CATION Which Will Have q
Wide Reaching Effect
FIGHT MADE ON TETON
RECLAMATION SYSTEM
Courts Will Be Asked to Decide
Whether Provision for the Dis
position Of Unused Water Is
Not an Essential Matter

The whole question of waste water
from irrigation canals is opened up
by a suit which has been filed by
the Yakima Valley Canal company,
better known as the Congdon ditch,
against DR.. Fl. r. Wells and Mrs.
Wells and Carl Mischke. This suit
which is test case, will in all prob
ability, be taken to the highest courts
Of the land. Pending litigation the
complaint asks for an injunction re-
straining the defendants from using
the Congdon ditch for waste water.
from polluting water in the Congdon
ditch and for 800 for expenses
rendered necessary by alleged mis-
|use Of the ditch heretofore.
Canal Is Handicapped
And the reclamation service or the
United States is to be the next de-
PENDANT in a similar action, accord
ing to report. The Congdon ditch
management maintains that its canal
is not at the present time carrying
more than 25 per cent Of the water
that it should carry and that before
additional irrigation water can be
distributed it will be necessary to
shut down and clean out the accumu-
lations which have come in from
above. 1t is further said that many
people under the Congdon ditch have
been using the water for domestic
purposes but cannot now do this be-
cause of the character of the water
which is coming in from above, from
the Tieton land.
About Tieton Land
The allegation is made that the re-
clamation service has made no pro-
vision whatever for wastewater. The
statement was made by H. M. Gill
bert, of the Tieton Water Users as
Isolation, at a meeting of the stock
holders that a portion of the 500
per acre charged for water under the
Tieton was to be used in providing
for water outlets for the waste
water and an effort was made at one
time by Mr.. Gilbert to arrange for
the use of the tile drainage which
the Congdon people have put in In
their Wide Hollow land. The Tie
ton land itself, however. is without
avenues for the disposition of it's
waste water.
Waste Water Canals
One result of the litigation which
is now under way will be that it will
determine whether it is not neces-
sary for land to have a good waste
water right attached, whether or not,
as a matter of fact a waste water
right is not second in importance to
irrigation water. The question is a
mighty important one and has been
raised arbitrarily number of times
this season, as in many instances old
waste bitches have oeen plowed up,
narrowed and the people who used
them told to go elsewhere. 1t is the
intention of the Congdon ditch people
to ascertain whether the Tieton
water will not have to be conducted
by regular channels, over purchased
rights of way, to natural water
courses and to determine also wheth-
er a waste water provision is not
an essential part of any irrigation
construction.

was not given a chance He denied
having said anything whatever about

ment for the plaintiff. said he firmly

literature on the subject which the
police find difficult to suppress. And
some time ago a huge volume was
openly published which elucidated all
the latest methods OF crime, from rob
bling a till to blowing ur a bank safe.
Most OF the copies were seized, and
those that remain are nearly as valu-
able as first folio Shakespeares. On
this side of the Atlantic, however.
