THE POWER HOUSE QUESTION

In less than two weeks. that Is on
Monday. July 18th. the citizens of
Bookings are going to vote or the
question Of the future situation of the
power house. It 70 not at all necessary
to call attention to the vital import
ance Of this question. and the duty Of
every voter to help decide where the
new and permanent building is to be.
And 1t Is important to remember that
the new location will be a permanent
one. As far as I know there eve
has been q definite plan for the build
ing of the city, but there has gone on
a natural Capitalization of the beauti-
full buildings of the city around the
school house square. But unfortunate

from also using or having access there
to for purpose of navigation, boating,
fishing, fowling and like public uses.
Riparian owners have title to the
edge of navigable water at low water
mark, but in this respect high and
low water mark means the high and
low points of variations of the waters
under ordinary conditions unaffected
by extreme and continued freshets, or
extreme and continued droughts, and
not the high or low points reached by
the waters during such period"
In addition to this, the decision
holds, in effect, that any natural
meandering body of water, that is, one
which has been surveyed, and which is
generally resorted to by the general
public for hunting and fishing, boating
or trapping purposes, is a n~avigable
lake governed by these principles.
From the decision in it's entirety, it
is very evident that the owner of land
adjoining lakes and rivers cannot in
terfere with the rights of the public to
hunt and fish along such bodies of
water, nor, on the other hand, can the
general public interfere with the use
of such land by the owner for other
purposes, such as pastures, farming
land, etc.

met to pay their last respects. Mrs.
Comp and children, accompanied by
her brother, H. II. Carnes of Aurora,
left with the remains on the 11:05
train Sunday from Aurora for Water
man, Ill.,, where interment was made.
Mr.. Comps illness extended over
several months, being a man of much
strength and energy he made a brave
struggle with disease. He was a good
neighbor, and those in need of SYM
pathy or assistance found in him a
true friend. To Mrs. Comp and chill
dren is extended the heartfelt sympa-
thy of a host of friends.

The city auditor has called a special
election to be held July II to vote on
the question of moving the power
house. This action was taken as a re-
suit Of a citizens petition, which was
circulated by the Civic League. The
question of moving the plant is a very
important n and we would urge our
citizens to study the matter thorough
ly. Every voter should record his con-
victions on July IL.

CANNOT LEASE DUCK PASSES

A supreme court decision of unusual
Importance to the hunters and fisher
men of this state has been handed
down by the state supreme court per
Judge J. H. Mccoy in the case of Fills
rand VS.. Madison, ct al, says a Webster
dispatch.
The effect of the decision is to do
away with the leasing of the best
shooting grounds in the state by men
of large means, to the exclusion of
the sportsmen of limited income who
are unable to lease private game pre-
serves for the hunting eason
For several years the practice of
leasing the best duck passes In the
state by men Of wealth both from
within and without the state, has been
increasing alarmingly, until there are
but very few real good shooting
grounds which have not been covered
by leases. The result has been the ex-
clusion OF the local spOrtsmen for the
benefit Of the few of wealth.
In his decision in the above cited
case. Judge Mccoy lays down the fol-
lowing principle of law:
THE title of a riparian owner to the
short space between high and low
water mark of navigable waters is
not absolute. but is qualified or limited
by. and subject to the rights Of the
public, and such owner has the right
Of access to and use of the water, the
right to acretions and reflections, and
the right to use the shore in all ways
he may desire. SO long as he does not
interfere with or prevent the public

by the power house situated in its
midst. And now the splendid oppor-
tunity lies before the people of Brook
ings to correct this mistake and win
back this section of the city as an at
tractiye civic center. What would you
say of the nan who built the kitchen
on the front of his house for all to see,
and opening by wide doors into the
parlor where guests are received?
Would we excuse this man because he
had found it a little cheaper to build
this way? Or what would we think of
the shoe store or hardware store that
instead of having an attractive and
attracting front window should move
into the show window their machinery
because they thought that it might
lower the operating expenses? These
cases, to my mind, are exactly paral-
lei to what the city would be doing if
it placed it's power house which can
not under the very best circumstances
be made beautiful, in the very middle
of the group Of splendid buildings
which it now possesses, and which
must be added to in the future by
the erection of a school building at
least. | would not think that prospec-
tive settlers would be drawn to a
city with a power house in the midst
Of it's beautiful buildings. The pro-
gre~ssiveness of that man and of that
that city would seem to me to be at
about the same level of degeneration.
