greater Importance coming Just at this
time, for the reason that the subject of
water law is to be taken up by the Leg
islature. Tills court Is the first one in the United
States to construe the act of Congress of
March 3, 1S77, in this particular. It in
no way affects the rights of persons wlio
acquired rights prior to 1ST7, or who ac
quired riparian lands since that time and
put tiie water to a beneficial use. The
man or corporation who has held riparian
land without making use of the water Is
the one affected by the decision.
Opinion by W. R. King.
The opinion of the court was written
by Supreme Court Commissioner W. R.
King, who has made an eGiaustive study
of water law. The case decided was that
of Ann'e C. Hough et al. respondents vs.
S. A. D. Puter et al., appellants, from
1-nke County. Henry L. Benson. Judge.
There were about t parties to this suit,
and in deciding as to their relative rights
to water from Silver Creek, Judge Ben
son recognized both riparian and appro
priation riglus. The Supreme Court modi
fies this by dividing the water entirely
according to the law of appropriation.
The decision occupies 64 pages of type
written mutter, or about 25.0W words, and
touches upon almost every phase of wa
ter law. A brief statement of the points
of law decided is as follows:
Water Part of Public Domain.
In ord-r to determine the extent, un
der the law. of a title included in a con
veyance from the Government whether
by grant, patent or otherwise, we must
take into consideration all acts in force
at the time affecting the public domain.
A reservation of any interest In lands
by a legislative enactment Is aa effective,
as a matter of law, as is expressly
stated In the grant, patent or Instrument
through which title may be asserted.
The Government cannot, by legislation,
determine for any state, after its admis
sion, what its legislation relative to
riparian or other water rights shall be,
but may dispose of its public lands and
all rights incident thereto In such man
ner as It may deem best, and either at
the some time or by seperate acts, make
such reservations therefrom, by grant,
dedication or otherwise, as it may see
fit.
The water flowing over the public do
main Is a part thereof and the National
Government may grant or otherwise dis
pose of its riparian Interest separate from
the rest of the estate.
Any one acquiring title to any part of
the public domain subsequent to the
date of the act of Congress of March 3.
Ii77. accepted It with title thereto with
full knowledge of the law in force at
the t'me and subject to the full import
thereof.
Rights Dedicated to Public.
The legal effect of the language In the
act of Congress of March 3, 1ST7, name
ly: "there shall be and remain and be
held free for the appropriation and use
of the public for Irrigation." etc.. Is to
constitute a reservation and dedication
to the public of all interests, riparian or
otherwise held at the time by the Na
tional Government so far as such inter
ests affect the uses for irrigation and
other purposes thus enumerated.
All lands settled upon and to which
title has been acquired subsequent to
the act of Congress of March S, 1S77.
were accepted with full knowledge and
with the Implied understanding that the
first to divert and apply the water of
streams or other sources of water supply
thereon, for the purposes specified in the
act, shall have the superior right thereto
to the extent intended and actually ap
plied. The references in the code to riparian
rights constitute a recognition of what
ever riparian rights the landed proprietor
may have: but does not attempt to define
nor in any manner to establish any rule
respecting such interests. I

SALEM. Or.. Jan. 5. (Special.) The
State Land Board today signed uo a
contract for the reclamation of 74.000
acres of arid land in Crook County,
the Deschutes Irrigation & Power Com
pany being the contractor. The com
pany Is to have a Hen upon the land

south and east of the tracts covered
by the earlier contracts, and reaches

Water for the Irrigation of this vast
area of land will be taken from Des
chutes River. The plans call for the
construction of a storage reservoir, the
details of w'ich are yet to be definite
ly decided upon.
The per cent of Irrigable and non
Irrigable land is not definitely known,
but it is estimated that the total lien,
of the company will, be In the neigh
borhood of 13,600,000. The company is
to receive to cents per acre per year
from settlers as a maintenance charge
until 1917, when the system Is to be
turned over to the settlers' organiza
tion complete, unincumbered and in
good condition. The contract requires
that the most important portions of
the flume shall be made of concrete
and steel.
The contract gives the Irrigation
company the right to use the water
powers available in the canal system
for a period of 35 years, in considera
tion of which the company Is to main
tain the canals during that period. The
land will be sold to settlers by the
state, the purchasers paying off the
company's lien, this being theconsld
eratlon.

Income for Year Sufficient to Pay
50 Per Cent Dividends on
Capital Stock.
SALEM, Or.. Jan. 5. (Special.) The
Wells-Fargo Express Company's annual
report, filed with the Railroad Commis
sion today, shows that during the past
year the company's net profit was over
14.000,0000, or enough to pay a dividend
of 60 per cent on the capital stock of
$8,000,000, which capital, so tar as any

Most Bloodless Revolution in -Ven
ezuelan Hlbtory Accomplished
Through Betrayal of Castro's
Fiendish Message to Gomez.
CARACAS. Saturday, Dec. 26. General
Castro's power in Venezuela crumbled
In a day, like a house built of cards,
and not a pillar has remained standing.
Even his own brother, Celestlno, after
turning over his guns and ammunition
to the appointee of President Gomez,
fled into Colombia. Not one member of
Castro's family has raised up his voice
for him, for It was his custom to treat
them more or less as he did the foreidh
diplomats and his ministers.
Castro Inspired fear, if nothing else.
In Venezuela. With his absence the fear
disappeared and the reaction against his
rule, which began on Sunday, December
15, was consummmated on the following
Saturday. It is not only the most com
plete political upheaval in the hlstorv of
Venezuela, but the most popular and
most bloodless one.
Feared for Foreigners' Lives.
Several barracks in Caracas were
filled with soldiers antagonistic to the
new government, led by a clique of Cas
tro's followers, with Governor Cardenas
at their head. This made it necessary for
Dr. Jose do Jesus Paul, the Foreign
Minister, to go on December 14 to the
Brazilian, British and Iitalian ministers
and tell them It would be well to cablu
for warships, as conditions might arise
that would make it Impossible for the
government to protect the lives and prop
erty of foreigners. Each of these minis
ters cabled this request to his govern
ment, but none responded except the
United States, and its vessel, the Dol
phin, arrived Just six days after the
danger was over and 11 days after the
cable was sent.
If on Saturday, December 19, the plot
to assassinate Gomez had been success
ful, if a minor telegraph employe had
not rushed to the President with a copy
of the fatal message from Berlin,
which is said to have authorized the
conspirators to take extreme measures,
then the triumph of the Castro party
would surely have resulted in the pil
lage of Caracas and especially of the
hated foreigners.
The' failure of the plot and the nat
ural overthrow of the entire Castro
machine resulted in a cry of thanksgiv
ing throughout Venezuela.
Gomez Rises to Occasion.
President Gomez has arisen to the oc
casion, and not only are the foreign
disputes of Castro being settled, but all
the restrictions against trade and the
monopolies are being abolished.
The hundreds of political prisoners
have all been released and have been
returned to their destitute families.
Many of these had been in dungeons
for eight and nine years without trial.

THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH
How many readers have heard of this
terrible disease? It prevails In that
far-away country Africa especially
the Congo district. It is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fly. When it
bites a person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awaka
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can wo pre
vent it? Mr. George Hayes, of
Union City, Pa., writes: "I had lost
my appetite, wns all run-down, could
not sleep nights. I had tried every
thing without relief. Vinol was rec-
