Wo can hardly rcalizo that o f all tho children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly ono-quartor, die beforo they reach ono year; thirtyseven per cent, or more than ono-third, before they are five, and one-half beforo they are fifteen I We do not hesitato to say that a tim ely use of Castoria would save a mar jority of these precious lives. Neither do wo hesitato to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by tho uso of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or morphino. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly tho roverso, hut you must seo that it hears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens tho pores of tho skin and allays fever. I Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. II. Fletcher. Dr. A. F.

Elliott, of New York City, says: “ Having during the past sir years prescribed your Castoria for Infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend Its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children.” Dr. C. G.

It Is a sure and reliable medicine for Infants and ch*- dren. In fact, It Is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments.” Dr. H. F.

By John H. Lewis, Stale Engineer. (CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.) Daws o f Other States. Oregon, Washington* and California have the poorest water laws o f the western states, Colorado prof‘ »*d hy the mistakes of California. Later W yo ming and Nebraska adopted laws which have been taken as models by other states, except that ml judications of the early rights are made by the courts in stead of hy appointed boards, as in these states. The water law defeated by our legislatures of 11)05 and 1907 followed closely the laws recently en acted l»y I'tah, Idaho, North and South Dakota and Oklahoma. The Canadian law has been declared by resolution of the American Irrigation Congress to be the boat of its kin«) on this conti nent. A ll these modern laws are based upon the water taws of Italy, which have developed through centuries of experience. Thus Oregon has no lack of precedent, and should profit by the experience of these other states and countries. Arguments Against State Control. The water code presented to the last legislature provided a comprehensive system c f titles to water and for pro tection to vested rights through state control of diversions from public streams. The leading arguments by the enemies of this bill were as fol lows: That the state officer in charge would have the power of a czar; that the burden on taxpayers would be ex cessive; and that the appointment of an unlimited number of water masters was the basis of a machine to control the politics of the state. The penalty necessary to enforce the proposed law was that no right to the use of public waters should thereafter become v ested except by direct" grant I n f a n t s /THiiDRkN from the state. The great power com plained of was the authority of the state engineer to refuse any application Promotes Di^eslioniTimfii which did not conform with the law. ness and Krst .Contain i ncstn To pass the bill without any means of Opium Morphine nor Mineral. enforcing it would have the same effect N O T N A H C O T IC . as defeating the bill, which was the re sult desired.

The conference of governors now ia session at Washington, I). C., to devise some plan for the conservation o f onr great natural resources will dbuhtlrxs have but little to say with respect to the conservation of water on the non- navigat le streams of the states. This is entirely a state problem and we alone must be responsible for the use or abuse of this necessity of life. Any new policy devised by this conference for government control of navigable or interstate streams ean affect Oregon but little. The conservation of this great nat ural resource in the interest o f poster ity cannot only be accomplished with out sacrifice or cost to the present generation, but to its great benefit and profit, i f we only will. We resented bitterly tho offer ot I’ ri-s:dent Robrevelt, through his recla mation department, to assist us in the framing of ere '¡table water laws. W e are now persistent!v disregarding the warning o f our worthy governor, who hag well sail that “ the great uncer tainty as to titles to water, the wide difference o f opinion among the ableet water lawyers as to what the water law o f this state really is. and the vast amount of capital that is already in- ▼ ested in this state in works depending upon the use of water, make it abso lutely necessary that Oregon at an earlv date place upon her statute books a complete, concise and definite code of law governing the use and distribu tion of water, patterned after the mod ern laws of Wyoming, Idaho and Can ada, where titles to water are as se cure as title« to land. Oregon’s sin, not so much of commission as of omission, in this matter, is becoming notorious among the states of the west, where the diversion and use o f water is neces sary, and i f persisted in will greatly retard the settlement ot lands already reclaimed, and discourage further de velopment of our gr^at water re sources.” Q U E R IE S BY F A R M E R S .

If you desire a few early apples, p'ant Y ellow Transparent, Duchess, Gravenstein and King. The former apples are the commercial ap ples of western Washington.

P a lm a a Teacher. “ Not long since, while visiting In Culm, I had the pleasure of renewing an old friendship with the former pres ident of the island, Gen. T. Estrada Palma,” said S. A.. Sevier. "Gen. Palma Is living a quiet, se eluded life on his unpretentious coun try estate at Kay a mo. He takes no Interest in polities, but devotes himself to the simple affairs of rural life. His chief pleasure is In teaehiug a little band Of his neighbors’ children to read ntul write, and he devotes two or tihree hours a day to that task, while at night he gives Instruction to a class cotn- posed o f his farm laborers.

Although it was Abraham Lincoln In his Gettysburg speech who made famous the phrase, "government o f the people, by the people, for the people," the father o f the sentiment was really Daniel Webster, who, 30 years pre viously, had sixiken o f “ the [»eople'i government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the jteople.” The next stage In the crys tallization o f the phrase was In 1850, when another great American, Theo dore Parker, alluded to "a government o f all the people, by all the people, for all the people." Then in 1863 Lincoln put the finishing touch and gave democracy Its watchword. B a seb a ll C ritic. Huggins— What has become o f Fan ning? Muggins— Oh, he's laid up; a victim o f baseball.
