THE OLD OAKEN BUCKET.
A Drink From the Well That Was Not
Appreciated.
The girl accepted the glass of Ice
water with a fervor In her words that
went away beyond the manner of or
dinary politeness. ,
"Yes," she confessed. "I am deeply
grateful. You don't know what a bless
ing It is to be able to get a drink out
of a refrigeratorJust open the door
and take It out You see. I've been
visiting at one of those houses In the
country where the poetic old oaken
bucket still Is on the job. Every time
I wanted a drink 1 bad to get a knife
and a weight and a rope and a bucket
and a cup. 1 dug the lid of the well
np with the knife. Then I adjusted
the weight on one side of the bucket
so It would tip overhand take in water
when It hit the bottom. Then 1 drew
np the bucket, took a cupful of water,
colled the rope, shut down the lid and
put the knife away again. All that for
Just one little drink! .. .
"Once we. went ont driving. We
found one well where we couldn't get
the lid up. We found another where
the rope was too short I was just
dying for a drink by that time, so one
of the boys held another upside dows
In the well by the legs, yon know
and we dipped out a drink that way.
Thank you, I'm very comfortable
where I am. No oaken buckets for
me, except In song." Kansas City

JOSEPH CASE IS
HIE CLEAR
PUBLISHED AETiaE SOT TEUE
TO THE FACTS.
Comet Begum of the litigation Ex
htlng at Joseph (her Water.
The article published in the Morn
ing Star concerning the litigation
pending between the Joseph Milling
company et all and the City of Jos
eph, la misleading and does no state
the facts. ,'. ";. ' '. '
There Is no question of any water
works franchise Involved in this suit.
In the present Bult between the Mill
ing Company and the city, the only
question involved is the right of the
city to extend and place in Jthe Wal
lowa lake a 12-inch water main and
divert from the lako, 'water to oper
at the Municipal Water works sys
tem, and furnish water to the city and
its inhabitants for fire, street, do
mestic and ' Irrigation purposes.
The Joseph Milling company claims
that Its predecssora In -interest who
were rlperian proprietors on the Wal
lowa river which has its'1 head and
source in Wallowa Lake, diverted
about (60) second feet of the waters
of the river and lake In 1882 and since
that time have used these waters for
propelling gnd operating a flour mill,
and electric light and power plant,
and furnishing water for the water
works system of the Joseph Water
Works company, a private corpora
ttoa. . ',. '
The Milling company further claims
that their diversion and use of the
water of this stream takes all , the
waters flowing from the lake and In
the stream -In the low water season
of the stream In the months of t Jan
uary, February and March, the latter
part of August, September, October
and November, and that the city 1b
threatening, with this pipe , line ex
tension Into the lake, to divert from
them and deprive them of the use at
low water of the Lake that would oth
erwise flow down the stream to the
head of plaintiff's diversion. This Is
the sole question Involved In this
case. It is simply an attempt of a
municipal corporation having the
right of eminent domain to take the
property of a private person and di
vert the same to a public use without
compensation. ; ; ';.;
There Is a case however, pending
In the Supreme Cburt Involving the
question as to whether or not the Jos
eph Water Works company have a
franchise or a contract with the city
of Joseph, whereby the company have
the right to use the streets and al
leys of the city for laying mains and
service pipes therein for furnishing
water to the city and its inhabitants
for tire, street, domestic and irriga
tion purposes. This is an independent
suit, commenced by- the city against i
the Joseph Water Works company I
sometime last summer wherein they
sought an Injunction to restrain the
Joseph Water Works company from
relaying and extending its main and
service pipes in accordance with Its
franchise and contract with the city,
through the streets and alleys of doing. A demurrer was filed to this
the city for the furnishing of water . answer
to the city and its Inhabitants of the )
city as aforesaid. An answer was filed ,
In this case setting up the tact of
the granting of this franchise and of
the Joseph Water Works company
complying with the terms of the fran
chise putting In. a water works sys
tem at a cost of about $10,000 and
the complying in all (respects with
the terms of the franchise whereby
the companuy claimed that a contract
existed between the city and the Wat
er Works company giving it the right
to do and continue to do what Is was
which after due considera
tion was overruled and denied by the
court The city elected the stand upon
the demurrer and as a result a de
cree was entered by the Court dismis
sing the suit From this decree the
City of Joseph has appealed to the Su
preme Court where the matter U now
pending and whl come up for hearing
at the November terra; iv i'
