Inndon Now Less Noisy.

Middle-aged L%ondoners who went TO
and fro in the capital in the sixties
and seventies merely smile when we
ask If London could possibly be nois-
Ter than II is at the present day.
For they say 1t was a far noisier
Mace then, when nearly all the main
streets were granite paved and all the
wheels of the vehicles iron bound.
There was a continuous roar then to
which the present day sound Is a
mere whisper.
One such Londoner says he often
heard In the old days the roar OF Lon-
don's traffic from as far away a spot
as the Crystal Palace parade. The
sound was like that Of continual very
distant thunder. He has many times
in recent years listened for the sound
from the same spot, but has V
heard it.-London Chronicle.

FIRST WATER CLAIM
TAKEN DURING 1S49

Pursuant to the notice of adjudica-
ton of water rights along the Car
son river, issued by the state engi-
neer April 10th, the claims of all
water users were filed on or before
the tenth of June. Under the provi-
sions OF the law, the state engineer
will start in with the compiling of
the claims July 10th. All claimants
who have bought their land recently
have been obliged to file abstracts
showing the transfer of title from the
old to the present owners. A fee OF
five dollars and a map was required
of each claimant. Users whose claims
are based on the Chandler findings
started in 1905 had to pay fees of
one dollar each.
The claim bearing the earliest date
was filed by Alb Ambrose, who states
that his father, Nicholas Ambrose,
first settled along the Carson river
in 1S49, and beginning in the year
1901 maintained q Tdncn ana SldIlon.
Proof is also submitted to show that
the elder Ambrose was a few years
later given Certificate No. 5 under
surveys authorized by the Territory
of Utah. Ambrose claims water rights
for $40 acres under the original ap-
plication and 100 acres under the
Mexican Ditch, which was located
and constructed in 1860. The record
in the Ambrose east is voluminous,
the afidavits and evidence of many
of the Oldest residents of the section
being used to establish the claims
of priority made Nv Ambrose.-[Car-

Refuses to Leave Prison.

A man sentenced to Sing Sing pris-

months, and refuses to go home. He

den says he does as much work as any
four men,. The pay allowed prisoners
by the state amounts to 11a cents a

when he was told that the prison au-
thorities would not shut off his pay
to make him apply for parole, which
he has so far ~steadfastly refused to do.

Conan DoyIe's "Famlliar."

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's familiar
proved of very practical assistance to
him the other day.
The creator of sherlock Holmes
walked into his study. and after some
indecision drifted over to the waste
paper basket. plunged his arm into the
litter. and-extracted a valuable wal
office document relating to the history
of the war; It had blown from the
table into the basket.
'rve never done such a thing be
fore" said Sir Arthur, in narrating the
circumstances. and the unusual course
of action which he followed with such
good results he attributes wholly TO
the promptings Of his familiar
London Chronicle.

CLAIM RENO MAN PAID
$3.50 FOR BARREL OF WATER

Joe Musso and Joe Stropin, charged
with robbing Felix Turrillas, proprie-
tor of the Espanol hotel,at Reno, on
June IL, we're a~rraigned before Dis
trict Judge Emmett Walsh, sitting in
the district court at Reno yesterday,
and they will plead to the informa-
ton against them today.
The two men are alleged to have
relieved Turrillas of $3.50 in cash
at the point of a gun after taking him
for a ride to demonstrate a a he
anticipated buying from them. The
two men were arrested at Ely and
returned to Reno in the custody Of
Sheriff Terrell, says the Gazette.
Lis reported that the two men will
contend that instead of being robbed
of his money, Turrillas paid them the
$3.50 for what he believed was a bar
rel of whiskey, but which turned out
to be water.

STATE ENGINEER
SENDING OUT PLAN

The state engineer is sending cir
cular letters to the water users OF
the Humboldt river outlining the
plans for procedure in expedIeng the
checking and settlement of water
rights on the stream. The steps
given are:
First-Organization of the water
users into three districts.
Second-Selection of two persons
from each district to act with the
state engineer as a board to check
contested claims of water rights on
the system.
Third-Issuance of a tentative or
provisional adjudication.
Fourth-Receiving and hearing OF
contests or protests which may be
fled against the findings of the pro-
visional adjudication.
Fifth-Issuance of amended adJu-
dication and submission to the court,
as provided by law.
The users are also notified that the
state engineer is now having classl-
fed the cultural maps and areas to
be investigated.
1t is pointed out that the primary
object of the procedure is to pre-
vent expensive and destructive lltlga-
ton and at the same time to protect
the vested rights of water users on
the system.

Consolidate the Jail Service.
Barre Times)

With but four prisoners in the
Washington county Jail, and a SIM
ilarly small number in other county
jails or none at all, there is good rea-
son to talk about consolidation of
jails in Vermont as a means of econ
omy. Manifestly it is going to be
costly business to continue the cur
rent expenses of jails in all, or near
ly all, the counties of the state, in
order to accommodate a minimum of
prisoners. 1t is probable that the
prisoners in all the county jails of
the state could be assembled in two or
three of those institutions without
crowding the accommodations. This
matter of consolidation of jails seems
to US to be a matter which the prop
er officials might well take under
consideration. Some of the jails
might be closed without working any
great hardship.
