BIG CROWD PRESENT lie Baseball Toanunent a Great Succett Prineville Woa First Monej. Th 130th anniversary of our uaviunai inorpenaence win go down in the hintory of Prineville as the beet celebration ever given by our city. There was not the slightest hitch in the program com mencing July 1 and cloning July 4th. Everything was carried out as planned. The baueba 11 games were the beet 'ever played in Central Ore gon. The teams were so evenly matched that it generally look more than nine innings to de termine the winner. The Antelope boys were by far the hardest propo sition that Prifleville ever tackled. They played snappy ball all the time. Honors were even between Jhe teams up to the game to be played on the Fourth. Then was to come the final struggle for the big puree. The weather tuan could not have ordered a better article if he had tried. It was a trifle warm, to be sure, but not too hot for comfort. The morning of the Fourth was ushered in by the booming of an vila. At an early hour little boys clad in snow white sailor suits could be been making their way to the appointed rendezvous. Little girls, too, in pretty red, white and blue regalia were seen flocking in the direction of the Union church, their place of meeting. At 9:30 o'clock everything was in readiness and the marshal of the day gave the word for the pro cession to start. The old stars and stripes headed the column, then came Hose Company No. 1, follow ed by Hose Company No. 2, then Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, the Prineville Military Band, then the Goddess of Liberty on a hand some float surrounded by forty eight little girls representing the states and territories of the Union. The Old Oregon Pioneers in car riages were next in line, wearing badges upon which were printed the year in which they took up their homes in Oregon. Some came in 1867, others in 1868, 1869, 1870, 1871, etc. The sturdy veter ans and their wives made a splen did showing and were heartily ap plauded along the line of march. Following the Pioneers came the Uncle Sam float with a jolly group of little boys. Then came the Lippman float representing the business of A. II. Lippman & Co. The float was a credit to the firm. It was very neatly arranged i and tastefully decorated setting forth the business of the house to good advantage. The Winnek Drug Co. had a unique float that received many compliments. The Wood man of the World had a fine float in which the handicraftsmen in handsome uniforms were busy ply ing their trade. Then followed the Royal Neighbors of America float filled with young ladies dress ed in white and wearing the at tractive sashes of the order. The Royal Neighbors of America float came in for its sharge of applause. The Singer Sewing Machine Co. was represented by a float, after which came the horsemen. After parading, the principal streets the procession halted at the court house where (Tie exercises of the day were held. The meeting was called to order by T."M. Baldwin, and after prayer by Rev. Mr. Mitchell the following -program was excellently rendered: Overture Band Vocal Solo, "Barbara Frletchle" Quartet. "America" Mear. I). Macleod, C. 8. Kd wards, Mfwdame A. a Htrantce, J. H.

BASEBALL TOURNAMENT The Prineville baseball team carried off the honors and won first money in the tournament held here last Sunday, Monday. Tues day and Wednesday. Only three teams entered the tournament Antelope, Redmond and Prineville The Bend team came over Tuesday morning to play, but objection were entered against them trying for first or second money by the Antelope team for the reason that they were not on hand to play the regular schedule, and the Bend boys dropped out, not caring to play for third money. The first day. Sunday, Antelope and ' Prineville played an exhibi tion game in the morning, Prine ville winning by a score of 7 to 2. In the afternoon Prineville and Redmond played the first game of the trournament, the home team winning by a score of 20 to 9. There were no special features of the game outside of the plucky way in which the Redmond boys plaved out a losing proposition. F. C. Rowlee gave the fans an " idea of what he could do in the pitching line by going on the mound for the Redmond boys in the eighth inning and striking out the first two batters to face him and getting the next one on a pop fly. As a pitcher Rowlee is there with the goods. After this game Redmond dropped out leaving the race for first and second money between Prineville and Antelope. The second day, Monday, Prine ville and Antelope lined up for the big tussle, with Rooper and Rhodes as battery for Antelope and Bailey and Zeek for Prineville. The game started off bad for the Prine ville boys. Antelope scoring two runs in the first inning, but that Was all they could do until the eight inning. In the meantime the Prineville bovs had taken a cinch on the game, so it appeared, by getting three runs in the third inning and two in the fifth. In the first of the eighth Antelope bunched their hits and got in three runs tying the score. Neither team scored in the ninth. In the tenth inning Antelope scored the winning run, and got the first game. This was one of the best games ever played in Prineville, and the fact that it took ten in nings to decide it, showed that the two teams were evenly matched and the next two games promised to be fast ones. The third day, Tuesday, Ante lope sent in Van Houten to do the twirling with Rhodes at the re-' ceiving end. , Prineville sent in O'Neil with Young as backstop. Prineville took the lead in the first inning and was never in danger of being headed in the run getting, winning the game by the score of 11 too. With Antelope winning the first game and Prineville the second, the third game promised to be the hardest fought contest on the diamond. Considerable money was wagered on the result Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, with the Prineville team the favorite. The fourth day, Wednesday, Antelope sent in King, the clever twirler from Salem to do things for them. Prineville pitted Bailey against him with Young doing the receiving end.

Realizing the importance and urgent need of state laws upon the subject of water rights in Oregon, a Journal representative interview ed 8tate Engineer Lewis regarding the matter when in Prineville re cently. Mr. Lewis baa made a thorough study of water laws in this and other states and is prob ably the best posted man in the state on the subject. He is striv ing in every way possible to di rect public attention to the crying need of a comprehensive state law controlling the use of the water of our rivers and streams. The State Engineer's addresses in Crook county were followed with the closest attention by our water users who have long felt the need ol some kind of relief. In the fol lowing interview -it is shown just where the water user stands before the law and the remedial measures proposed by the State Engineer. 'The development of this State and especially this community is greatly retarded by the lack; of definite water laws, and the value of present water rights are greatly lessened for lack of ororjer stand- ing in law and protection by the state. "Records of stream discharges to be ot value must be kept daily and throughout several years as the water fluctuates from day to day also with each season. A record of three to five years duration is of the greatest value in designing works for the use of water. at . "It is next necessary to secure an abstract of water righto giving the amount of water which must be let run by to satisfy vested rights be low the proposed point of diversion. This can only be determined at present by bringing suit against all parties claiming the right to the urn of water from the stream and securing a decree of court, as the present water laws contain no penalty to enforce compliance. Only part of the vested rights have posted and filed the required no tice, and many of the rights which are speculative in character have filed notices which will never be come vested but serve to cumber the title to water and prevent its legitimate use. "A lawsuit is expensive and in volves the loss of much time. As there is a definite limit to which the waters of each stream can be put to a beneficial use, investments will become more hazardous as this limit is reached. If an abstract of actual vested rights cannot be had careful measurements of stream flow will be of but little value in the protection of ' investments. The only way at present is to build your ditch, divert water and take chances on a court decision. If unfavorable, the money invested is lost. If favorable to the ditch owner, he has disturbed the peace of the community and called each user of water into court at con siderable expense, when he should have been attending to the irriga tion of his crops. This decree is binding only between the parties thereto. New ditches will be built, and the operation is repeated until the community is bankrupt. "In Utah for example, all rights are determined once for all, begin ning with the streams most used. Thereafter no rights can be acquir ed without authority of the state. Notice of the intended diversion is published and protest allowed where any one thinks hie right will be injured. The question of supply and rights are carefully in vestigated, and when the permit is issued by the state it has the same standing in law as a patent to lands issued by the Government. Ia a arid country the patent to land is of insignificant value com pared to the water right which ia the foundation of iU value; Set tlement ia therefor retarded by uncertain water rights or water laws a now exist in this state. MAa administrative system ia necessary. A water master or po liceman in each community would distribute tb water in accordance with the court decree and future acquired righto. These righto would be recorded in order of rri- onty. As steams fluctuate during the seasoo, the poorest ' righto would be shot off during the low- ' et water, thus protecting the older rights without fear of annual con test in the courts. Where water ia stored on a stream channel, this officer measurea th same snd pro tects it to the point of diver-ion acd nse. Appeals from the de cisions of the watermaster which cost nothing, can be takr to the ' courts and only the p-r-n who thinks himself agrievrd U di-ru t ed. The watermaster is suhjr to removal for cause. "Considerable opposition is had to the change of present water, laws principally from ibi-e ti W ing speculative rights, or francbiee without use. When these fran chises become of increased value, they will be sold, and not before Fear is had lest a new law will create unending litigation. This has not been the experience of other states and as pointed out we are assured of unending litiga tion under present laws where the limit of a stream's nse is reached, "Irrigation in tb Willamette 1 Valley has been much aritated of late and the Portland Board of Trade is taking an active interest in plans for uniting all sections of the state in preparing a bill which will meet the needs of each com munity and be supported by all. Careful study of the new measure, - and co operation in its support ia all that is necessary for the solu tion of this problem upon . which the future of Oregon depends."
