NO. s WINS SUIT TO
| GET BLOCK OF STOCK

Imperial Water company No. IS has
won it's suit with the G. d. company
Years ago the water company acquired
a large block of the company stock,
under what is known as the Heber
contract. This stock went into the
treasury of the company for sale to
pay for extensions and improvements
to the system. The G. d. company
when it passed under control of the
Southern Pacific company, set up the
contention that the contract was not
valid, and sought to annul the stock
Judge Wellborn decided in behalf OF
the G. d. company, but word is now
received that the United States circuit
court has reversed the decision
though the details of the reversal are
not learned.
This is believed to free the stock
for sale by the water company, and il
is expected to result in extensive i'm
provements on the eastside.

RAILROADS TO FIGHT
FOR CANAL SHIPS

WASHINGTON May 10.-That the
railroads are not going to permit their
strangle hold on the public to slip
without a fight was indicated at a
hearing of the senate committee on
inter-oceanic commerce, when Rear
Admiral Bowles, formerly con.
structor in the United States navy,
appeared before the committee to urge
that railroad-owned ships be permitted
the use of the Panama canal when
completed.
Rear Admiral Bowles gravely as
sured the committee it would be best
for the public to permit the railroads
to own all the steamship lines in the
country He solemnly declared il
would be Of the greatest benefit to the
country if the steamship lines on the
Mississippi river were turned over IT,
the railroads,
| And thus place all Mississippi river
traffic under the control of a benevo-
lent despot?" ironically asked Senator
BristOw of Kansas. ''Yes, certainly,
but under regulations" replied
Bowles.
Bowles further declared that mu.
nicipally owned docks are not as well
conducted as those owned by the rail
roads for the reason that they usually
have no good railroad facilities.
AS owner of a shipbuilding concern,
which presumably, like practically
every shipyard in the country, is
owned by the railroads. Bowles did
not have anything to say about the
fact that the railroads have gobbled
up about all of the dockage facilities
in the country and that when city
owned docks have no railroad connec-
tions it is because the railroads boy
cot such docks in an effort to get con-
troll of them.

INFLUENCE OF A BEAUTIFUL HAND
Madame QuiVa win be glad to any questions pertaining
to wOmany beauty. Personal replies viii be given stamped
and selfaddressed envelope is enclosed.

TO use the hand effectively and to
make of it thing of wondrous fasci-
nation and charm is purely a matter
of training and cultivation, within
the reach Of every woman of ordin-
ary intelligence and perseverance,. 1t
is possible to acquire such skill and
perfection in the use Of the hands
that you need fear no criticism; no
enc will know whether the form of
your hand is beautiful or ugly.
The beauty of the hand is three
fold, atrinity of power The thumb
is the thermometer of the will power;
the palm, of the vitality; and the fin
gers, Of the mental and physical
force. There are more nerves be-
tween the brain, and the hand than
in any other portion Of the system.
Some scientists go so far as to de-
clare that thought is impossible with
out the hands feeling its influence,
l was once told by a noted German
scientist that If the brain became
paralyzed, the palm of the hand be-
came perfectly smooth, all lines leav-
ing it that pertained to thought. Just
six years later | happened to be llv-
ing in the house of an elderly lady
who was stricken with paralysis, be-
coming at once wholly unconscious.
She lay in that comatose state for
eight days before death came. On
the fifth day, however, l remembered
what the scientist had told me and
upon examination we found that the
palms of her hands we're perfectly
smooth, all lines had disappeared ex-
cept the heart line
Whatever may be the differences of
opinion in respect to the claims Of
the advocates of palmistry, most peo-
pie who have given the subject sufii-
cient attention to enable them to
form an intelligent opinion will agree
that certain peculiarities of the hand,
in form, development, and markings,
DO indicate, more or less accurately,
certain traits Of character No less
an authority than Job has declared
that God has placed signs in the
hands of men, that every man may
know his work"
The palm reader or travelling gypsy
is rarely, If ever, a scientist or a stu
dent Of character and because of this
fact, the science of palmistry is not
always recognized as being valid

MAN INJURED
IN RUNAWAY

Harvey Dart, who was seriously
hurt in runaway accident at Scots
Mills Saturday, and who lay uncon-
scious for two days, has recovered
consciousness sufficiently to recog-
nize friends. His skull was fractured
and Drs. Keene and Lewis, of Silver
ton, operated on the injured man at
the Salem hospital Saturday, and his
injuries are considered dangerous.
Dart was picked up from the road
by Emerson Hammer and his son,
willard, who had caught the runaway
horses some distance from where the
man was found.
It is impossible to say at this time
whether he will recover or not.

accused in contempt proceedings
growing out of the I. W. w, disturb
ances here. Wright today issued
statement to the public advising
strongly against any such demon

This is the statement made to the
public:
my attention has just been called
to proposed demonstration by citi-
zens in front of the court house to-
morrow morning at nine o'clock, at
which time Judge Guy will proceed
with the contempt proceedings insti-
tuted by F. H. Moore, attorney for

Any demonstration of this kind would
be deplorable, 1t would be at once
construed as an attempt to influence
the court in its ruling. The attor-
neys for Mr.. Porter have carefully
examined the facts and the law and
are convinced that the testimony will
be ample to free Mr.. Porter from the
contempt charge.
"If It is desired to show the pa
trioismt of the people of San Diego
by a public demonstration in order
to convince the world that we stand
for law and order, such demonstra-
ton should be held at a time and

The complication arose when the
trustees of the company, holding

William Crawford as security for a
loan of 100000, after successfully
defeating Crawford's petition in the

insolvency, the company went into

vency. Crawford then again applied
to the state court and Judge Frater

@Tis God gives skill.

"'Tis God gives skill,
But not without human hands"
In her hand every woman, even the
plainest featured one, possesses a
power that when developed and
trained, Yields a most subtle fasci-
nation. Yet many a woman who gives
much time and study to the art of
pleasing in dress is entirely uncon-
scious of this endowment.
The human hand is such a wonder
full thing that 1t alone should con-
vince the atheist that only divine
power could have created it. The
hand is to our thoughts what our
face are to our emotions, giving ex-
preston and accent to them, and by
gesture we often convey more mean
ing than by our words. The soul Of
ten speaks through the hand, when
the hating tongue hesitates and
leaves the word unspoken. By
thousand different positions, by
countless attitudes of the fingers, the
hand translates great part of our
thoughts and our feelings. 1t gives
character to our words, 1t makes
speech visible, and in an atmosphere
of sublime harmony it gives glimpses
of the soul.
Foreign peoples are more inclined
to exaggerate the use Of their hands
in animated speech and gesture but
it would be hard to find any women
on the face of the globe who use
their hands more eloquently and
cleverly to point a moral, or adorn
tale than do some of Americas fair
daughters.
Lavater says: "The hand, whether
in motion or repose, has an expression
of its own that is not to be mistaken.
When in perfect rest, it shows what
are our traits of character, its lex-
ions betray what are our actions and
our passions" In all ages homage
has been paid to the hand. Petrarch
confessed that Laura's beautiful
hand made captive his heart"
Every movement of the hand is an
index of the disposition and the rul-
ing thought of its possessor A hand,
however awkward in shape, may ac-
Guire absolute beauty of motion by
following the dictation of the brain,
delicate in conception, and denying
nobly the grosser instincts. Although
the thoroughbred hand proclaiming
the distinction of refined birth and
breeding, is born with us, the ability
