MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER
81 YEARS OLD-GOD BLESS HER

With what, it is hoped, may be con-
sidered pardonable pride, The Silver
State reproduces the following from
the Sturgis (Michigan) Daily Journal
of January 2:
Every year Mrs. Ayres holds court
"A friendly court-at the home OF
her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and
Mrs. ]. ]. Stanton, in North Jefferson
street. All the year long this little
LADY patters about, as busy as can be.
She makes her own Christmas pres
ents sometimes, always packs them
herself and sends them off; and then.
on the last day of the year. which is
her birthday. conscious of three hun
dred and sixty-four days well spent,
she receives her many neighbors and
friends, for they never forget the day
and they drop in informally all the
afternoon and early evening.
This holiday time Mrs. Ayres was
ninety-one years old. and she had
callers yesterday and today. flowers
and letters, candy and presents. You
would almost wonder what could be
done with so many years. unless you
chance to know this woman, and then
you realize that not one need be
wasted.

River and its tributaries to 1896
acres in the Quinn River Valley, ex-
tending more than 100 miles from the
Oregon line south down into Hum
boldt County.

the first testimony was taken in 1913
and 1914. 1t was argued for one
whole week in 1915, before Judge
Taber, who was called in by Judge
Ducker, the most prominent attorneys
on the coast appearing for either one
side or the other The briefs con-
tanned more than 600 pages of printed
matter. and the transcript totaled $500
pages of typewriter manuscript.
The heart Of the opinion is con-
tanned in the following:
"One second-foot for each 70 acres,
measuring the water at the places
where it is diverted from the stream,
is fixed by the court as the duty of
water for the purposes of this action"
I The court directed that each party
to the suit paw his own costs and dis
bursements.-Elko Free Press.
