Sharon & Eddings SPORTS OPINION ON WATER RIGHTS MODIFIED Salem, Ore., Dec. 29. Superior Jus tlce Robert Eakln added a modifica tion to the opinion handed down by the supreme court Tuesday, which de cision was written by Justice Burnett. The decision was that In the case of J I Cuvlness vs. the La Grande Ir rigation company et al., involving liti gation over the division of water rights Chief Justice Eakin says: "I concur in the result of this de cision, but I cannot give my consent to the following statement: "Prlmar ly, any use of. the water of a natural stream for beneficial purposes is free t j him who has an opportunity to take It wltuout Infringing upon the prop erty rights of another. Concerning the mere division and use of water, there Is no difference between a non riparlan approprlator and a riparian user, provided the former has a lnw ful right of access for that purpose to the stream from which the dlver Hlon Is made. The essential condition of appropriation In the first place on public lands was the consent or ac quiescence of the then riparian own er, the general government. The rea. on for the rule is not changed by the fact that the riparian owner Is a private person provided the approprl ator has his consent or what is equiv alent, that the approprlator and the riparian owners are one and the same person. The deduction then Is that if any one can lawfully gain access for that purpose to a non-navigable stream and water Is not subject to use by another, such a one may ap propriate It for his own use. The ef fect of which statement Is to abolish or do away with riparian rights as heretofore recognized in this state." Raid Alleged Coiners. Portland, Ore.

RUSSIA PAYS XO HEED TO STARVING PEASANTS Refuses Famine Official "Registra tion" ami Forbids Charitable to Give Aii to institute. St. Petersburg. The appeal of the Bishop of ChelrabVnsk on behalf of the peasants of the Orenburg and Turgai districts has emphasized the deplorable condition of the peasants in many parts of Russia, due to the failure of the crops. The famine stricken citizens are flocking to the towns and villages, nsking for spe cial .--ervices and the administration of the last communion so that they may be prepared for death. The crops In the Orenburg government are S6 per cent below the average. In the province of Ufa for many months 'the children have hud no other food than acorns, and even acorns wl'.l very soon not be available as snow will cover the forests. For some strange reason the gov ernment not only is trying to mini mize the seriousness of the situation but is refusing permission to give private aid to the tnmfne victims. Tho Central Zemistvo organization, the headquarters of which is at Mos cow, has been prohibited from aid ing tho victims on its own account. The organization already has collect ed nearly $15,000 and this sum will therefore be distributed in the most necessitious provinces by the various Individual Zemstvos. Side by side with stories that the peasants In the Samara government are eating dogs and bark from trees comes tho announcement that the chief of police of Syzran has prohib ited the local press not only from or ganizing subscription lists, but also from making any mention of the fam ine. In the administration of Rioiusk a concert organized In aid of the 1 starving peasants has been forbidden Marrlaue Customs Txmked On With Amazement by Italian Woman. New York. Signora Arturo Cas anova, formerly the Countess Caro Una Ghezzi Raveno of Allesandria, Italv. whose assertion that Boston women are "plain unaauueraieu frumps" stirred up many tempests about Hub tea tables, has some- novel views on international marriages. She is a writer and a relative of the famous Italian novelist, Matilde Se rac, and has come to New York to de liver a lecture before the Circole Ital- iano on "The Italian Women of To day." She declares It is the "poor foreign noblemen" who are decoyed Into marrying our "bold young wo men" to whom sympathy should be extended in international matches. At the Plaza Hotel she contrasted marriage conditions in Italy, where divorce is not recognized, and in this country. "Of all the wonderful American Ideas, many of which I have read since my arrival in this country last month the one lately suggested by a curate has most appealed to my sense of humor," she says. "The correspond ence school of matrimony is too funny and it has also its serious side. In no country but America could such thing be done but can it be done In America? I mean with any degree of success. "We have always been amazed at the freedom that is accorded the Am erican women, and especially the young women of whom we see so many in Italy during the season in Roman Florentine and Neapolitan society Not only are many of them what you call free and easy, but many of them are even bold. "But to return to the correspond ence school of matrimony. I shall follow it with interest, for surely, once started with the sanction of a man of the cloth, It will be eagerly taken up by persons who are not content with the old-fashioned methods of seeking ir. marriage. , "Are American parents going to al low their daughters to commit them selves in the foolish prodigality of youth upon paper to strangers of whose history or antecedents they know nothing save what the man chooses to write? "Ah. Americans are brave explor ers into unknown lands, but person ally, 1 had as soon have my own dau ghter make an excursion unattended into the heart of Africa as to have her make a voyage into the uncertain future of matrimony with nothing, save a lew love letters to guide her." Many Women Appeal to the IJcense Clerk in Seattle In Search of Mates. Seattle. With the approach o? leap year Marriage License Clerk Claude F. Gage li receiving letters from many women inquiring for tho rarnes and addresses of eligible and de-irab'e unmarried men, who would make good husbands and are on the matrimonial market, and Mr. Gage s wonder'ng if the duties of his of fice will permit him -to operate .a matrimonial clearing-house. 'I get letters almost every day," said Mr. Gage, "from women who de sire to enter the married state. Many of them are' from women of evident good education, but so s'tuated that they do not come in touch with the clas-i of men from which they would desre to select a husband. "Here is a letter from a girl edu cated in an eastern college and now living on a ranch. Here Is one from a housemaid in an o!d ladies' home. Another is from an officer of a wo man suffrage organization in Oregon. ' Circumstances, you see. have placed them out of touch with the clas they seek, and if I can help them I will. They're Just homesick for a good husband." In the regular course of business, Mr. Gage has now the addresses of two men who desire to wed. one a red headed man weighing 228 pounds, 4 2 years old, with 10 acres of land, three children and a good home. The other is a young clergyman now in charge of a country church, but with hopes of early advancement. He has no money, he says. NO TARIFF LEGISLATION PROBABLY THIS SESSION Washington. Following a confer ence between President Taft and Con gressmen Payne of New York and Hill of Connecticut and Senator Smoot of Utah, It was ' announced from the White House that the pres ident wl'.l insist on a protective tar iff policy as against the democratic doctrine of tariff for revenue only, In relation to the wool schedule and other tariff issues. This declaration, taken In connection with the declar ed policy of the democratic leaders, causes the prediction of a deadlock with the probabi'.ity that no tariff legislation of importance will be en acted at this session of congress.

Boxing among the , girls of the Los Angeles High school was put under a ban but two devo tees of the art. Miss Lauretta Davlin and Miss Fern Powell, declared, de spite the edict, that they were still infatuated with the sport. Dr. Everett C. Beach, physical di rector of the city high schools, said It was not the aim or the instructors to turn out a generation of teminino fighters and that there was no desire to develop an unnaturally combative disposition, "which would interfere with the natural laws .if the home." "Suppose a pretty girl's nose was brpken when boxing," said Dr. Beach. "It probably would mean permanent disfigurement and might seriously in jure her soc'al prospects." DIVORCE IS D EX I ED MOORE AND HIS WIFK Redwood City Cal. Divorces were denied to both Millionaire J. J. Moore and his wife Liliian L. Moore by Su perior Judge Buck on the ground of Insufficient evidence.
