Paris, May 18. My. reader may re
member that t have more thanonfce told
them that every year Pari finds it
necessary to select an American beauty
and' to worship her" for at least the
print season. It Is hor name and no
other that tills the newspapers jnd It
is of her alone thai society talks.
This spring Paris has not failed to
follow the old tradition. But what is
rather unusual Is- the fact thai our
"American beauty" this year is French
.by birth and origin.
Mrs. Rutherford Btuyvesant, who Is
, hailed so enthusiastically in the press
and in society, married a brother of
Mrs. White, wife of ther ambassador of
the United States in Paris. Her Amer
ican husband is her -only claim to being
an American, but as rew people are
aware, of her French birth she is cele
h rated everywhere as the "ureal Amer
ican beauty. 'Anyway, her beauty 14
remarkable and worthy of all the en
thusiasm It arouss.
She and her husband tiave Just taken
a .charming hotel lif the Rue Dumont
d'Urvllle. Nor, at the present moment.
Is there anything- so eagerly sought in
Paris as an invitation to the "at homes"
of the reigning "American beauty"
who Is French.
The domestic newspapers of Paris
have been crammed win- sensational
calumnies about the unfortunate Duo
de Chaulnes, who only a few months
ago married your beautiful Miss Shonts.
Now, I happen to know the eiact
truth in regard to his death. The Duo
de Chaulnes did not commit suicide, as
certain newspapers said. Nor had ho
taken an unusual dope of morphine, in
order to forget certain mythical losses
at cards. Of late the duke had not
gambled. He died, as anyone might
have died, of heart disease.
On one of his flying visits to Paris
the other day 1 met General Lyautey,
commander in , chief of the French
forces in Morocco.
The conversation was worth while.
"What of Morocco?" I asked.
"We shall have to go to the end," the
general replied.
"That will be the conquest of Mo
rocco, then?"
"Don't use that word." the general
said; "we call It the occupation of Mo
rocco." "The word Is different; the thing Is
the some." T remarked. "And now what
Is the attitude of Germany?"
"Of course that 1 the main point,"
fSeneral Lyautey answered, "hut, as It
Is evident that our occupation of Mo
rocco will cost us heavily in men and
money, you may be quite certain that
Germany will not Interfere. The more
France Is hurt and enfeebled the better
for Germany, and She will place no ob
stacles in our way Indeed, she will
rather encourage us to push on Into Mo
rocco." "That Is a dismal outlook, general."
"I do not deny It. But it is the fault
of the military authorities or tf the
F resent French trovernment. Those who
Irst set on foot this Moroccan expedi
tion are alone responsible."
"You mean that Deleasse?"
"Yes, and he alone."
"And our troops, general?"
"Admirable." sold the general; "they
are admirable.'
"Marchlnsr to victory?"
"And to conquest it is the only thing
we can, ao.
Anl so I am able to give you this ac
count of what France is doing, and has
to 1o. In Morocco. - I admire the gen
eral's enercy. but 1 am not reaeiured as
t tne political outcome or this war,
which was forced on us ny German dip
lomat at the unfortunate congress at
Algeeiras.

Astoria, Or.. May 16. The body of
fiui Victor Sandy, who mysteriously
disappeared on the evening of May 4,
was found this mijfnlng floating in the
river at the foot of Ninth street, nenr
where he was last seen. He was in

Pennsylvania's Grasshopper Tear.
From the Philadelphia Record.
The "grasshopper level" on the
Pennsylvania railroad is within four
miles of Lancaster, and derived its
name from this circumstance. The
grasshoppers one season were so nu
merous as to destroy the crops, and it
is said the fence rails were worn
smooth by the insects crossing from one
side to the other in searching for green
pastures.
.During that season the pests were so
thick on the rails In the vicinity men
tioned that the engines with their (rains
were stalled, so that to make any prog
ress it became necessary to have men
precede the - trains and pour ' sand on"
the tracks. This suggested carrying
the sand In boxes, and next putting the
boxes astride of the locomotive and
then adding rods which were placed
under the control of engineers and fire
men. ----- j
John H. ' Lewis at .the recent meeting
of. the state grange read the following
paper on "State Control of Our Wator
Resources:" ' ' - ' , ,.''"..v't
. When we sea the miracles wrought
by Irrigation "and think, of the poten
tlal energy of our streams as repre
senting thousands of acres of the most
valuable coal lands, it is no wonder
that we hesitate to challenge the state
ment that the water resources of Ore
gon are today its most valuable str
eet. Yet our legislators have persist
ently refused to enact laws governing
the: use and distribution of this valu
able commodity. Far-sighted corpora
tions are rapidly acquiring perpetual
franchises to the use of water for pow
er development, without present or pos
sible future compensation to the pub
lic, from whom, the privilege is ac
quired. . .. .
Through the lack of a reliable rec
ord of vested rights to the use of
water, the ; public has no means of
ascertaining the location and amount of
unappropriated water which is available
for new uses. Large quantities of
water are being, held without use
through actual or threatened litigation,
and the--intendlng investor- or settier
moves on to more progressive states,
where water riahts can be secured bv
application' to the" state officers, -and
when granted are protected, the same
as other property rights. The holder
of these questionable vested rights
joins with the power Interests in op
posing the enactment of any law pro
viding for public control and making
beneficial user the basis of rights to
the use of- water.
Bow Water Is Appropriated.
Any person can acquire a water right
byaimplv posting a notice at the pro
posed point of diversion, stating the
amount of water claimed, the intended
use, and recording a copy of the no
tice at the county courthouse. If the
water is to be used for irrigation pur
poses, a certified cooy of the notice
must be filed with Jhe state engineer
within 30 days thereafter. It makes no
difference if the waters of the stream
are already fully utilized at points be
low. The notice can specify any
amount, even though such amount ex
ceed the regular flow of the stream.
It may be Impossible to use the water
beneficially for the purpose as claimed,
but that makes no difference so long as
construction Is commenced within six
months. Your title is then complete,
but the record Is not completed by the
filing of Droof that work has com
menced. By refiling every six months,
a water right can be held without the
fierformance of any work until some
egitlmate investor tries to secure con
trol of the same water right.
Then work must be commenced and
Frosecuted with due diligence. Under
his law one of our leading attorneys
has stated that a one-armed man with
a shovel, employed at the Intake, can
hold a water right Indefinitely. Thus
the legitimate investor must first buy
off the notice man, who has contributed
nothing to the public welfare.
Even the payment of this blackmail
does not give him clear title to tho
necessary water, for the apparent sup
play may, perhaps, all be fully util
ized In Jih adjoining aountles below,
1 1) rough which the stream ruu.
Absence of Control.
In the"absence of state control, the
only way for this investor to even
guess at the amount of unappropriated
water is to first measure the stream,
and then travel down the same, measur
ing the. maximum capacity of each
ditch, -to .ascertain how much of this
water lias already ' been appropriated.
If the stream Is a hundred or mdre
miles in length, this task alone would
discourage the most enthusiastic In
vestor or settler. Then the records
of water filings, under our present
laws,, must also be examined to ascer
tain, how many rights have been Inl-
1 vested and prove prior in time to his
riffiu. .
Notices claiming water, posted In
thickets along the banks of a stream,
cannot be found and are, therefore, of i
no value to him. -The county records
are of but little, if any value, as the
recorded claims to water Invariably ex
ceed many times the regular flow of
the stream. For example the records
of Baker county show claims to the
waters of Powder river for irrigation
purposes amounting to over 80 times
the flood flow of this stream at Baker
City during 1905. and the 1.146 record
ed claims for all purposes amounted to
over mo times tnis riood now.
These claims, therefore, cannot all
be vested rights, and it Is impossible
to ascertain from the record which. If
any. are van a. or ultimately may Be
come vested. Besides, many ditches
have been built and water diverted
without any public record whatever. In
a Separate record will be found court
decrees affecting titles to the water of
this same stream. These decrees may
divide the water among a minority of
claimants witnout any consideration
whatever of the rights of the public in
the unappropriated waters. The coun
ty record thus serves only to cloud ti
tle to unappropriated water and dis
courage Investments.
The stream under consideration by the
Investor may flow through or border on
two or more counties where water
titles are equally as complicated as
described for Baker county. To ab
stract the water records of the Des
chutes river would require a journey
of practically 1,000 miles and the ex
amination -of the worthless records of
flva count Ina.
Under the 1906 act all filings for lr-
rlgatlon purposes were to De recorded
In the state engineer's office at Salem,
but no penalty was provided to enforce
this provision. Out of 138 filings in
Baker county under this act only five
were recorded at Salem. Thus what
was intended for a complete record is
therefore of no value to the public.
BestUtlnf litigation.
The conditions in California are
Identical with those in Oregon. The
Commonwealth club has labored for
years to secure the enactment of mod
ern water laws and in the proceedings
of this club we find the statement that
the bar of California was delighted to
find in their primitive water laws a
fruitful source of income, and did noth
ing to remedy conditions. "The stat
utes in Question have been the foun
dation of some' of the large fortunes of
California, but these fortunes are held
exclusively by the attorneys of record
nf the mlsrutded individuals who
availed themselves of the privilege
granted by these statutes."
A ease Is deported where - Dlteh "A"
sued Ditch "B and upon the sworn
evidence introduced obtained a decree
giving It a priority of 20 cubic feet of
water per second. Ditch "B" sued
Ditch "C," with the same result, 'and
Ditch "C thereafter sued Ditch "A."
with the Same result, and there were
still ditches diverting waier iruuj ,
the same stream whose rights were m j
determined. . . v I
Along the Walla Walla .river In Ore-1
gon. litigation to secure, a proper l-;
vision of the stream has been in prog-,
ress for about 80 years, without set-j
tling-a single, issue.. This experience,
Is typical o many other communities
and should serve to demonstrate the ,
failure of the present system of dl-i
trlbuting water by the courts, through .
injunction proceedings.- , ... ....,..,

tained; to protect the various rights,
u-hon th noraa . Ik rendered, the rela
tive rtvhta at the various ditches will !
be known, but how will the water be
divided among them? The pioneer irri-.
gator knows that the court cannot deny
him his usual water supply, and though
his right has been aeierminea ior pet
haps the second or third lime, the ques-1
tlon is still, how to get this water at

litigation. The same conditions which
brought on the present suit still exist i
and This decree, without additional leg
islation, will be of no more value in
settling conditions than former decrees.
Thesunreme court, by consistent de-
crees, has enacted practically all the
water law of this state. To expect I
the' court to provide in their decrees i
for the complicated administrative ma-1
ehlner- to make water decrees effective, ,
looks like a complete shifting of the
. j . k. L.lula Inr. In thl '
courts. This,' in the opinion of lead
ing water right lawyers, is not pos-
One of the leading attorneys in the
Walla Walla river case estimates that
the present suit will ultimately cost
between $20,000 and $25,000. This enor
mous drain upon the agricultural re
sources of this small valley, for a nega
tive result, cannot help but retard set
tlement and discourage capital.
The purchase of a water right In
Oregon means the purchase of a law
suit. No lttisatlon over water rights
la this state has ever settled any is
sue so that It cannot again be raised.
The decrees are binding upon only the
parties to the litigation. These de
crees often serve to cumber title to the
unused waters, as the state. Interested
In preserving the unappropriated waters
for future users, has not been repre
sented In court at trial of these cases.

Nice. Italy, May 16. A wealthy Eng
