than diamonds Of equal weight and
quality, only rubies being more pre-
cious. But ruby crystals Tin the rough)
are rarely more than half an inch long,
whereas those Of sapphire occasionally
reach three inches. Most priced are
the velvet blue" sapphire and those
OF "cornfower" tint.
One Of the most famous gems Of
this variety is the wooden spoon sap

circumstance that It was picked up by

Very Human Proverbs.

Replying to a toast, Chinese Consul
Moy Hin said In Portland:
when I desire to make an Amert'
can better acquainted with the Chi
nese I quote some of our Chinese
proverbs for him. These proverbs
show that we, like you, can see one
another's faults and laugh at them.
"Our temperance proverbs are rath-
er good. There's one, 1t Is not wine
that makes q man drunk; it Is the man
himself And another, "A red-nosed
man may be a teetotaler, but nobody
will believe it.
I'VE have a feminist proverb-'A
man thinks he knows. but q woman
knows better"

SUIT FILED TO RESTRAIN
NEVADA DISTRICT COURTS


Papers in what promises to be one
OF the most important cases ever
tried in the Supreme Court of Neva-
ia have been filed with that body by
State Engineer Scrugham. wherein
he essays to have restraining order
granted to prevent the district courts
of Nevada from issuing injunctions,
temporary or otherwise, whenever
he has deemed it wise and proper to
bring suits to determine water rights.
During the terms OF the last two
or three State Engineers there has
been a disposition on the part of the
men or corporations that have been
defendants in water suits to rush into
court and sue out injunctions and or
ders that prevent the adjudication of
water rights. In this manner all
kinds of cases have been held up and
it has been impossible to get action.
Colonel Scrugham has become tired
Of this kind of work and he now ap-
peals to the Supreme Court in an ef-
fort to find means to get water cases
into court and a determination ar
rived at.
