Verhaeren a Ruthless Book Enthusiast


Emile Verhaeren, the great Belgian
writer, used to be noted in days gone
by for his ruthless behavior toward
looks. Friends grew chary of lending
him works of any value, for when
struck by a particularly fine passage
he had a habit Of shouting. How
splendid" and flinging the volume
which aroused his enthusiasm across
the room or up to the ceiling-often
with dire results. Another trait which
served to make NJ. verhaeren con-
spicuous as youthful barrister was
his love of gorgeous raiment. This
induced a Spanish friend to present
him with golden waistcoat, cut out of
a pair Of curtains he had brought from
San Sebastian.-London Graphic.

over the seat. He dropped from the
back of the buggy alighting on his
head in the middle of the road near
the Waugh place. His head pre-
sumably struck upon rock as long
cash was inflicted and part of the
scalp peeled off.
The first plunge of the team had
pulled the tongue Of the buggy out of
the socket OF the neckyoke and. as the
horses reached the Fee barn they
broke loose from the buggy entirely,
At the corner OF Court and Franklin
streets they fell and were caught by
passing men, One of the horses was
badly cut about the legs and bled
profusely. They were taken to livery

wounds.
The men who caught the horses,

ADJUDICATION Of
WATER RIGHTS Tg
SETTLE DISPUTES
Decree and Findings Of State Water
Board Over UmatiIIa River Ex.
pected Within 10 Days.
8 YEARS WORK FINISHED
Much Testimony Has Been Taken and
Every Right to the River VIII be
Determined - Appropriations Must
Make Use OF Water Within > Years
or Lose Their Rights.

Within the next ten days the de-
cree and findings OF the state water
board in the adjudication Of the wa
ter rights Of all the users Of water
from the Umatilla river and its prin-
cipal tributaries will be handed down
and filed with the county clerk. ac-
cording to information from well in
formed persons. The final adjudi-
cation viii not only be important in
determining the amount of water all
appropriations can use but will also
mean that these appropriations must
make use Of their water within a per-
iod Of five years or lose their rights.
The prospectus of the decree Of the
water board has been prepared. ac-
cording to reliable information, and
the final form of the decree is being
prepared. When filed for record, any
holder of a water right who is not
satisfied with the boards decision will
have thirty days in which to appeal
to the circuit court and later may take
appeal to the supreme court which
is the final authority.
Amended Section $500 of Lords
Oregon Laws provides that after wa
ter rights have been finally approved
that actual construction work on ir-
rigation projects or other work look
ing TO the perfection of the water
right must. be begun within one year
and completed within five years.
However. II is further provided that
an extension of time may be granted
providing the holder OF the water
right can show good cause. In de-
termining said extension. subdivision
6 of Section 65e5 provides that the
water board shall take into consider
alton the cost of the appropriation
and application of such water TO bene-
ficial purpose, the good faith Of the
appropriation. the market for water
or power to be supplied. the present
demands therefor, and the income or
use that may be required to provide
fair and reasonable returns upon the
investment"
This law in conjunction with the II.
nal adjudication will act. according to
local irrigationists. in preventing the
holding of water rights for specula-
tive purposes and it is anticipated
that here in this county it will result
in considerable development work or
else the loss of water rights.
The adjudication of the Umatilla
waer rights has been under way for
three years during which voluminous
testimony was taken. Every right on
the river will be determined and the
water master Of the county will then
become a very active official mas
much as he will be required to see that
use only the amount of
water allotted to them. In case OF
disputes or when he has reason to
believe that some appropriation is us
ing more water than he is entitled to. !

Feb. 9.-The kaiser, inspecting the
troops in the eastern theater of the
war has been received with unparal-
leled enthusiasm. Today he reviewed

wehr battalions. Addressing the vari-
Gus units. the emperor congratulated
them on their achievements and de-
clared ultimate victory for the Ger
man arms is certain. The kaiser Is
in excellent health.

he was breaking down from the strain

less. He hold a conference with Won
Hindenberg and his staff and later
inquired regarding the people in these
parts OF Poland held by the Germans.
Under his direction an effort is being
made to revive the industry in this
section under direction OF German
manufacturers. 1t was generally te-
lieved here that as a result OF the
