Geraldine Farrar has put her heart

and without the aid of the magic Of
her voice, has proved herself one OF
the greatest actresses of all times.
Her picture Carmen will live long af-

died in the limbus of forgotten sing

one of the marve's OF the stage and

it is hard to believe that it is acting.

are such noted artists as Wallace

Wilson and Vice President Marshall
were nominated by acclamation last
night by the Democratic National
convention. the ticket being complet-
ed four minutes before FRIDAY morn
lng.r.
Contrary to expectations, however,
the convention did not finish its
work because the platform was not
ready and it meets again at II O'Clock
this morning.
1t was announced in the conven-
ton that the sub-c onmittee drafting
the platform had finished its work,
but that the entire resolutions COM
mittee was not assembled TO pass up
on it, and it was not know when that
could be done.
There never was any doubt OF
President Wilson's nomination last
night, but there was a. possibility that
some vice-presidential booms might
be brought out in opposition to Vice
President Marshall They melted
away, however. when the convention
got in session, and as soon as Presi-
dent Wilson's nomination had been
made by roaring chorus OF accla-

The Supreme court OF the United
States, through a decision handed
down by Judge Van Deventer on
June 5th, upholds the constitution
a ity of the Oregon water SlaW. This
decision is one OF great importance
to the state of Nevada, inasmuch as
the Nevada act was drafted from and
j. similar i'll most all respects to that
oj Oregon. The most marked differ
cnce is that water commission in
stead OF the state engineer. as is the
case in Nevada, is given the power
and is responsible for the enforce
ment of the law.
The Pacific Live Stock company
which is large land owner in Ore
pon and Nevada. has been fighting
the Oregon law in that state on the
grounds that it was unconstitutiona!
and in violation OF the Fourteenth
amendment to the constitution. by
depriving citizens OF their property
Niih'ut dtiS pi'NNSS VI i''N' ~ t''o'
old appropriators of water were COM
PEELED to prove their water rights
before state commission and pay
ing fees in connection Herewith.
The Nevada law is being tested in
the Federal court in this city before
Judge harrington ard the questions
raised in the suit are similar to the
ones raised in the Oregon case. I'm
der the Oregon law public notice is
given that at a certain time the state
will begin the adjudication or ascer-
tanning of rights on a certain stream
This paragraph is similar to the one
in the Nevada Law. The court in its
decision upholds this clause and says
hat the intent and purpose of such
legislation is to fix and define the
various water rights and to ascer-
tain il there is any unappropriated
water in the stream, and thus to pre-
vent useless and injurious litigation
in the future by having a record of
the various rights instead OF depend
ing upon uncertain parole evidence
in the future. The decision also says
that the findings Of the water conf
