They were necessarily walking In

Andrea was behind him. She looked
quizzlcally at his back and wished she

OPINION BY QUICKER
N WATER RATE CASE

The Supreme Court has reversed
the order of the district court en-
joining the public service commission
from putting into effect a rate of $3.50
per miners inch of water furnished
by the Steamboat Canal Company to
ranchers through the company's canal
from the Truckee river. says the Car
son City News. The opinion was writ
ten by Justice Quicker and was con-
Cured in by Chief Justice Coleman
ad Associate Justice Saunders.
The Steamboat Canal Company
has been supplying users with water
at a rate of $3.50 per miners inch,
or Sc If paid in advance or before
June / of each year. In May. 1918. a
schedule increasing the rate to $40
was filed with the public service
commission. The proposed schedule
was ordered suspended and the COM
pany was cited to show cause why
the rate should be increased. Water
users protested. also. and after a pc
riod of suspension and various hear
ings. the commission. about a year
ago. denied the application for the
$40 rate. but ordered a rate of $3.50
to be put into effect, the cost to be
S7.25 if paid before June l Of each
year. The water users started an
action in court and enjoined the COM
Mission from increasing the rate
above the $3.50 and Sc figures pen
lente lite. From this injunction an
appeal to the Supreme Court vas
taken by the canal company, with the
outcome stated in the beginning OF
this item.
The public service commission also
appealed to the Supreme Court in a
separate action. AS they were based
on the same state of facts. the two
appeals were joined In n by stipu-

RESOLUTION INCLUDES
PLACER MINING CLAIMS

A question has been raised regard
.ng the joint resolution approved No
vember Is, waving the annual assess
ment work on mining claims. The
resolution. by its language. was made
to apply to "the provisions of section
1924 of the revised statutes of the
United States. which requires ION
each mining claim located and until
a patent has been issued therefor not
less than 500 worth of labor" etc.
Section 1924 of the revised statutes
refers solely and specifically to lode
claims, but the resolution also refers
to "all mining claims in the United
States, including Alaska" and was I'M
doubtedly intended by congress to in
clude, as it says, "all mining claims"
whether referred to in section 1924 or
not.
However, to dispose of any doubt in
the matter, the Goldfeld Tribune tele-
graphed Senator Henderson to ascer-
tain how the resolution was being
construed by the commissioner of the
general land office and has received
a reply stating that the commissioner
constructs the joint resolution to in
clude placer claims as well as lode
claims.

HONDURAS GENERAL IS JAILED FOR ALLEGED
 BANK THEFT IN CALIF,
(By Review Leased Wire)

SANTA ROSA, Calf, April 2S.- Hernando Somozo, son-in-law of the late former President Sierra of Hon. duras, and a former general in the Honduras army, is under arrest here on a federal warrant in connection with the alleged embezzlement of funds of the Santa Aosa National bank.
 Bench warrants were also served upon Frank A. Brush, William l.. Grant, and H. K Loughery, who were officers of the bank, and are under indictment in connection with the all legged embezzlement of $72S.20S from the bank.
 Arraignment is set before United States Judge Van Fleet at Sacramento next Thursday.
 Somozo, Grant and Loughery were charged with peculations extending over a period between May 1916, and September, 1918, when national bank examiners took charge of the institu- tion. The indictments were returned against them at the same time that Frank Brush, former cashier of the
