Water Ownership at Stake

A suit now before the United
States supreme court will determine
whether the state or the federal
government is to have control of
the water of the state and whether
the state or nation is to grant righs-
of-way to state companies. The
decision rendered in what is known
as the Utah cases. practically
means that the government has as
serted it's ownership of the unap-
propriated waters of the public
streams of every state. The right,
while II ni2ht never be- exercised,
would tend to cloud titles already
issued and to be issued. The un-
appropriated water of the state is
in jeopardy, according to Attorney
General Thatcher, in case the con-
tention of the government is upheld
by the supreme court.

CH|LDREN'S BUREAU
BOOSTS BABY WEEK
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR URGES
WIDEST OBSERVANCE OF
NEW MOVEMENT

is Baby Week the business Of a
20: ernment bureau" The observing
taxrayer is perhaps asking the ques-
ton.
Ever since last October when the
General Federation of Women's
clubs announced its plan, an in
cr5asing proportion of the bureaus
office force has been detailed to the
correspondence required by the
growing interest in the nationwide
observance of baby week.
There are many million fathers
and mothers in the United States,
including many of the best educat-
ed fathers and mothers, who have
never read a statistical table and
neTe1 will. Yet hidden within the
figures cf the bureaus reports on
infant mortality, the reading of
which they will successfully evade,
lie stern facts about the dangers
which beset American babies.
These figures give a clue to tue
reasons why, on the great aver
age. one baby in eight dies before
the end of the first veal of life.
They show that this average OBJ
scures a wide gamut with compar-
atIve immunity from infant loss at
one end and with fearful infant
w ste at the ether.
The baby week emphasizes the
o tructive side of infant care.
1t addresses not only individual par"
2nts but communities.
TIE best test of its value will be
the work that follows it.
Undoubtedly every state board OF
health should ecure what only six
states have at present, a special
vision of child hygiene. No city
~ town should fail to provide in-
etructiye nursing service and 10
pay constant heed to the problems
of hygiene and sanitation, of prop

affect the welfare of infants.
There are 30O9 counties in the

the health work of that county, a
station for examining babies and

LOCAL RECORDS
OF FAMOUS MEN
INTERESTING BITS OF SIDE
LIGHTS UNEARTHED BY
RECORDER

In recopying the ecoru OF Es-
meralda county's portion of the rec
ords of Carson county, Utah, several
interesting documents have been
unearthed by County Recorder
johnson. The whole of the state
of Nevada was a portion of the ter
ritory of Utah and this portion OF
the state was embraced in the
boundaries of Carson county until
congress created the territory OF
Nevada.
The last record in Esmeralda's
portion of the records of Carson
county was entered October 2, 1868.
September Is, 1864, Orion Glenn
ems, then secretary of the territory
of Nevada, certified to the anthem
ITCHY of the portion of the lecords
of Carson county, Utah, which werc
copied into the books of the county
of Esmeralda. On the certificate is
affixed a five-cent war stamp.
One of the first of the documents
T6COTu6u III Luc DOOhS VI OoiSOh
county for this section of the state
was a power of attorney issued by
Brigham Young to W B. Smith
and signed by men whose names
have since become famous through.
out the country. The power of at
torney was recorded April 20, 1857
and was signed by T. d. Brown, G.
d. Grant and Abraham o. Smoot.
Following this bit of historical
paper another document per-
tanning to the head of the Mormon
church, who at that time was gov
ernor of the territory of Utah,
Brigham Young. This document is
a deed of trust entered into April
20, 1857, between William H.
Hooper and Brigham Young of
Great Salt Lake City. as the met
ropolis of Mormon Utah was then
called.
In transmitting this interesting
document into the new 1oose-leaT
record books, County Recorder
Johnson took down a few OF the
interesting parts of the deed. Hoop
err, it appears, had a herd OF coo
head of cattle and horses and the
necessary implements of a range
outfit. Because he needed money
to pay creditors III the east and
had no ready market, he decided tie
entire herd and other property that
went with the outfit to Brigham
Young for the sum of 800.
Young was bound to re-
sponsibility for debts. amounting to
over $4,000. The deed also stipu-
lated that the cattle were to be
driven to some California market,
since the owner deemed the most
accessible market facilities were 20
be found in California. The cattle
were to be driven by way of Carson
Valley and were to be sold for the
benefit of the creditors.
The county record books abound
in interesting bits of inforation re-
garding historical characters who
made the west and have since be-
come known throughout the world.
Nevada was admitted in the union
October 81, 1864, and was the Esd
state to be granted statehood. The
Virginia City district entered into
the role of a history maker Just
before the last record vas recorded
in the books of Carson county, Utah.
