before the International Purity Con

said that early marriages were con

Alexander Graham Bell. a director
of the genetic association, also has
been deeply Interested in this subject
He has conducted a series of expert

of young parents live longer, and that
among all early marrying stocks the
children live to a good old age. AS
soon as these long lived stocks begin
marrying later in life, his statistics
show, the offspring begin to die
younger.
"Of course. Mr.. Popenoe explained,
"it is possible both of these conten-

vantage of the conditions and made

Tor winter water only, fall or spring

are beginning to realize this and this
office receives inquiries right along
asking for information as regards the
worth of a certain water right on a
given piece of land. Each years
work Of the watermaster on any
stream adds to the value Of the In.
formation which he can give these
people and we are aiming at building
up a system of records to aid us in
this work, for its value to the coun-
~ is unquestionable.
Enter Working Force.
In handling the distribution OF ir,
rigation waters the element OF time
enters largely into the work. for the
flow Of a stream is seldom steady,
the melting of mountain SHOWS. rain
storms and cloud bursts will raise A
stream by leaps, and then quick work
Is necessary to take care of the wa
ter. The same is true when the flow
diminishes and in order to protect
older rights bitches must gradually
be shut down. With the entire coun-
ty for a territory it is impossible for
one man to get over the ground fast
enough, and generally there is a de-
mand from all streams at the same
time, and hence the need Of assist
ants.
During the irrigation season just
completed, two assistant watermast-
ers were employed in the county to
aid in the work w. W. Roeder was
employed upon the Walla Walla river
and w P. Ward was located at STAN
field upon the Umatilla river. AS
more land is put under irrigation, as
the rights of waterusers on other
streams are determined, and as the ir-
rigators themselves become more ex.
acting as to their rights, the need of
additional help becomes apparent
and the work more important TO the
community.

officer, but his pay comes from the
county in which the work Is done.
| Until this year the cost to Umatills
county for the watermaster's work
has never exceeded $4,000 per year,
This season the cost will be slightly
! less than $25O0 as the Umatilla river
system has been added to the work
The value of this department to the
irrigated communities, the distribution
of water with its many important
branches, is hard to estimate but II
! is certainly worth many times the In
vestment made in it by the county
each year and promises more as time
goes on.
Headquarters Of the watermastei
are at the court house in Pendletor

furnished. A letter or card address

London, March S.-The admiralty
extending honors to captured crews of
German submarine boats, owing to
their methods. and that it is intended
to scgregate them under special re-
strictions pending their possible con-
viction at the end OF the war.
The admiralty states that this rul-
ing applies to the % officers and men
OF German submarine Us, sunk re-
Gently off Dover.
The policy to be adopted towards
German submarine crews is in an
swer TO the demand of Admiral Lord
Charles Eercsford, retired, and others
that such men be tried for murder,
and the admiralty statement indicates
that the government has this in mind,
The statement refers TO the generous
treatment accorded German officers
and men saved, numbering upwards
Of 1000, and then says with refer
ence to the US:
This vessel had been operating In
the Straits OF Dover and in the Eng
lish channel, and there is Il strong
probability that she had been guilty
OF attacking and sinking unarmed
merchantmen and firing torpedoes ut
ships carrying non-combatants, neu-
trails and women. In particular the
steamer Oriole is missing and there is
grave reason to believe that she has
been sunk with all hands-20. y, \
There Is, OF course, great difficulty
in bringing home particular crimes
to any individual German subma-
rine, and it may be that the evidence
necessary TO establish conviction will
not be obtained until after the con-
clusion Of peace. Meantime, persons
against whom such charges are pend-
ing must be subject to a special res
striction and can not be accorded tn I:
distinction of their rank or be allow
cd to mingIe with other prisoners "a

A report from Rear Admiral the
Hon. Horace Hood on the sinking OF

ty. shows that The submarine was

Recently there has been no naval

proper clearance papers has fallen
upon coast guard cutters.

passage would constitute violation of
neutrality Officers We're reticent i'm
