New York. John Whitlock. 18 years old and Mrs. Arvill Leayn, 38 years old. both of Wilson township, were married recently by a justice of the peace. Youag Whitlock's father is already the husband of a daughter of the woman tbe yonth married says dispatch from Alpera, Mich., to the American. Experts in trigonometry" are trying; to figure out if the elder Whitlock thus becomes his sou's son-in-law; if his wife is her mother's mother; if his mother-in-law is his daughter-in- law, or if Ann would be a suffragette if it were proved that she is old enough, to vote. All efforts to blame the material mix-cp to Halley's comet have failed. Young Whitlock is figured out to be his step-mother's step-father, and his wife's daughter is his step-mother, according to bulletins issued at a late hour tonight. The senior Whitlock's daughter-in-law becomes his mother-in-law and his son is his wife's father or some thing like that. Proofs are on record at the court home and the bridegroom says he won't have to prove it by tbe Eskimos. Tbe regular sessioo of circuit court this term was a short one, only occupying two days. Gid Ilatt and Dave Pressly plead guilty to a violation of the loca! option law and were fined $50 each. The other local option cases were submitted on stipulation for the purpose of getting a decision of the supreme court as to wheth er not the order made declaring prohibition is valid. The question raised was wheth er the county court was legally called at tbe time the order was made. Judge Bean held that the order was sufficient, and from this de cision the defendants are appealing to the supreme court.

Ealem, Or., May 7. For the first time in tbe history of Oregon, a deci sion was handed down today by tha Board of Control, which determines disputed water rights. The import ance of the Order can be understood, when it if realized that faun dredi of people have been disputing; over tha privileges involved, the controversy in some instances leading to actual fighting. Today's order determines ia a sys tematic, way all water rights on Willow Greek, in Morrow and Gilliam Counties; on Cochran Greek, in Grant County; and Paulina Creek, in Ccik County. One copy of the order of determination for eaoli stream has been forwarded to the County Clerk of each county in which the stream or any part thereof is located. The determination is in full force and effect from the date of its sntry in the records of the Board and can be enforced by water masters, to be appointed if necessary. Exceptions to the order can be con sidered by the court and a rehearing had at any time within six months from tke date of confirmation by the Circuit Court. Upon final determina tion by the couits, the order of the Board will be amended, if necessary, and water-right certificates issued-to ench appronriator in accordance therewith. The order is tabular In form and arranged alphabetically under the name of tho water user. Ilia right is denned by setting forth the date of priority, the amount of water in cubic feet per second to which he is entitled, the number of acres irrigated or horsepower developed, the use to which the water is to be applied, and the season for cuh use. the name of the ditch, and a description of tbe land to which the water for irrigation is made appurtenant. There are 2S6 parties to the Willow' rights of five respectively. Discussing the new method of determining water rights, John H. Lewis, State Engineer and president of the Board of Control, said: "The advantages of this determina tion over the old court procedure are saving of time, expense and the secur ing of a decree which can be enforced during all the time that a few of the water-users may be disposed to litigate in the courts. If annealed from, -only a few rights will be involved. The unappropriated water in the stream can, therefore, be closely ascertained. Storage on the head waters of the stream can be under taken with saftey to captial, and the water transmitted alone tbe stream channel past the numerous ditches to the vacant lands at the mouth of the stream. The main advantage is to the state at large, as it la the beginning of a systematic record ef old water rights and tbe foundation for a rapid development of our water resources.

"The decrees are based unon testi mony of the claimant, furnished upon a simple blank form. These claims are later submitted for inspection by all who are interested, and contests permitted. In this way excessive claims are discouraged. "The comparison of the claims as filed with the maps and other informa tion gathered by the state forcibly demonstrates the high regard of the average " water-user for truth and veracity, but as few claims exceed expectations, and these hardly beyond the degree of acouracy usual in such surveys.
