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

(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

State Control.
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.”
