JO CUE TO
Conservation , Commission
Hears Plain Talk From J.
H; Lcwis-Wcbster At
tacks Basic Principles of
Proposed Legislations
Tne Oregon conservation commission
met this morning In the hall. of the
Commercial club for the purpose of dis
cussing1 .proposed legislation for the
regulation of water rights in this state.
But Judge lb R. Webster, who had been
Invited to be present and present, his
views on the subject, threw a bombshell
Into the midst of the deliberations by
vigorously attacking . the fundamental
principle upon which it is proposed to
base .such legislation,, and ' declaring
that' no laws can legally be enacted or
enforced which are based upon the
proposition that the state owns or can
own or control the water in the streams
within its borders.
Th forenoon session therefore re-
. solved Itself Into a-discussion of the
subject by Judge Webster from his
standpoint, interrupted at Intervals by
questions from various members of the
commission.
Will R. Klnr. aimreme rnurt rommln
stoner, presided at the meeting, and
Judge Webster presented a few bouquets
to the highest judicial body of the state,
severely criticising some of the opin
ions which have been handed -down. He
also paid his compliments to President
Roosevelt for pretending to know any
thing about water rights, saying the
president probably knows as much
about that subject as he does about a
great many otner tilings upon which be
claims to be an authority.
Ho Title to Water.
The members of the commission take
the stand that Oregon is greatly In
need of legislation which will defi
nitely define-water rights and regulate
their use. At present, according t J.
H. Lewis, there is no such thing as a
title to water In Oregon, and the thing
which must be done Is to pass laws
which will give titles to water rights
which are as well defined as titles to
land.
The recommendations of the Oregon
conservation commission in its report of
November, this year, to the governor,
were made the basis of discussion. The
report says:
''Based upon the experience of other
states and countries In the enactment
of effective water laws, we believe that
the conservation and use of Oregon's
water resources will lag until such time
as a law Is enacted covering the fol
lowing fundamental principles:
"1 Complete state control of diver
sions from streams- No water right inj
the future should become vested except
by appropriation under the laws, rules
and regulations prescribed by the state,
and the diversion of water without right
from a publlo stream, lnoluding all J
knowingly wrongful Interference with
the rights of others, to the Injury of
another, .should be made a misdemeanor.
"I 'A. system whereby the nrlorltv
snd limitations of overy existing right
10 me use or water can eventually oe
Seoord of All Bights.
"3 Provision for a reliable record In
some central office of all rights t the
use of water determined and of .hew
rights as Initiated.
'4-That actual measurements ' of
aitcnes and streams be made as a basis
for the adjudication of existing rights
and for the initiation of new rights.
"6 To provide a, . definite - procedure

be acaulred. '. - . ---i., . . . t
That beneficial use be made the
basis, : the measure and the limit of all
rights to the use of water,' and that
water, for irrigation purposes should
be made appurtenant to the land Irri
gated. . .
i "1 All rights to'the use of water for
power development should be ., limited
io some specinea time, subject to re
newal under certain restrictions.
"8 An efficient administrative sys
tem, wun proper onicers ror ' tne Dis
tribution of the water supply among
those entitled to its use., i
"9 An adequate system of fees, pay
able to the state by those benefited, so
that eventually the system shall become
seu-Bupporting. " . ; , : ,
Terr XanrasSntatlva Bod v.
Chairman Will R. King called the
meeting to order. There were. not a
great many present, but they repre
sented a large number. The prelimi
nary statement waa made that the mat
ter of developing a code was one that
needed a great deal of investigation
ana unairman King called upon tne
meeting ror a. general discussion.
J. H. Lewis was the first to take the
floor. He said that what the commis
sion wanted to do was to create a sys
tem of titles to water as definite as
titles to- land. - He made the suggestion
that the fundamental prlnclDlea laid
down in the report to the governor
should be made the basts of discussion,
to be taken up section by section.- This
was agreed to,, and the first principle,
complete state control of diversions
from streams, was taken up for discus
sion. Mr. Lewis thought the law should bo
that- If any man made a diversion of
water from any stream without com
plying with the state regulations gov
erning such diversions,' the water right
should become invalid. At present, he
said, It Is a question of doubt as to
whether such is the case or not. It Is
not a orime to steal water in Oregon.
Claims Without Basis. .
EL R. Lake made the statement that
the common report that the water rights
of Oregon are all ready all appropriated
Is erroneous. The claims of men who
have Dut up notices along the streams
amount to nothing. But these reports
tend to make eastern people afraid to
Invest their money In Oregon. The fact
of the matter is, said Mr. Lake, that
only a general utility company can ap
propriate water by notice.
"At the present time,'' said J. R.
Lewis, "it is not a crime to divert
water from publlo streams. But ther
Is only so much water. If this Is put to
ubilc use. It should be made a mls
emeanor to divert It from above. Be
fore any one could divert water, he
should first be obliged to obtain per
mission from the state. And, at the
season of low water, if any one below
complained concerning the diversion
above, the lower users should be pre
vented from using more than would
leave plenty for those below."
might of Appeal.
Mr. Hanley of Harney county thou eh t
there should be some appeal in case of
such complaints. The water master
might act as the first court, the de
fendant being given the right to appesj
from his decision.
RtAtn Rninepr .Tnrtnntnn nf Wvftmlnff
a state which has a system of water
laws such as it Is proposed to enact
in Oregon, was present at the meetlntr.
and was called upon.
Mr. jonnston saia: My coming here
s not from selfish motives, for Wyom
ing has for several years been Drofltinsr
by the lack of definite water laws in
otner stnies. witnin tne past yeari
there have been from IS to 20 men come
Into my office. Investors who came to
me and said that because Oregon had no
definite water laws, they had decided
not to invest tnelr money In that state
but to go elsewhere where their rights
were well defined. '
"I think that In discussing this matter
we should consider the broad underly
ing principles rather than details which
will work themselves out later, ;.- -
. Wo Control of Btraama." ' f '
"The ; national government never as
sumed to have control of the streams In
Oregon, , There la nothing in the state
constitution that stipulates that the
tat has any rights In or control of
the water in the stream a . ' Now, In
Wyoming the water Is the property of
the state. That the water should re
main in the hands of the state la the
fundamental theory' upon which some
understanding should be reached. Then
we can build up from that."
"The Supreme court of the United
eiaies nas neid that the state does not
have control of the waters within its
borders," interrupted Chairman JOng.
"But the states have not accepted this
ruling and defined their responsibilities
by law," replied Mr. Johnston. "This
question is. fundamental, and unless we
reach an understanding upon i it,: any
further discussion is useless."
While Engineer, Johnston was talk
ing. Judge Webster had come in, and
Chairman King called upon him for an
expression or. nis views on tne sub'
ject, r- - ,-
; Webster Airs His Ylews. , .
"My ideas," said the judge, rising and
laying aside his overcoat preparatory,to
gemng into action, "are, i Know, antag
onistic to many of the notions prevalent
in this water legislation. I know that
I am laying myself open to the charge
of appearing In the behalf of special in
terests, to the charge of being a lobby
ist one is a lobbyist when he opposes
this legislation, I believe, but not when
he favors it but notwithstanding that,
I- think there are many questions to be
considered before any legislation is pro
posed. "First, the state doesn't own any
water and never can own it. The public
doesn't own any water. There's not a
drop of public water In Oregon and
never can be. Legislation can't create
property, and it can't take property
away without paying for it.
"There are only two possible ques
tions for legislation on this subject. In
the first place, this legislation can be
nothing but the laying down of meth
ods of procedure to simplify the regula
tion of property already In existence
and already the property of somebody.
weed of legislation. ,' '
"There ought to be tome legislation
regulating the anDrorirlation. of water.
And the term 'appropriation' should be
defined. In the ordinary sense, it Is
to take water out of the stream for use.
But In the languaa-e of the wnter t
of this country, it means the taking of
waier accoraing io tne provision or
the act of congress of 1866. Bv that
act congress gave the right to anybody
to go upon the land and take the water
and put It to some useful purpose. The
government as the owner of the land
had the same rights as anybody else.
But the government said, throueh con
gress, we relinquish our riparian rights
to anyone who will go upon the land
and use the water, and in issuing pat
ents to land, we will reserve those
-lghts to the public.
But there Is no
doubt in mv mind
that the state can regulate the taklnz
up of water on public land.
"With most streams, the water tht
can be utilized for Irrigation flows
inrougn private iana, ana this land
fastens upon the stream riparian rights
pertaining to that ownership. Con
gress gave this right as a land
owner, not as a law maker. Any pri
vate ownershlD in a stream In unrroil
against any one taking water from It so
Tar as tne riparian rights are concerned.
. Ho Crying Heed.
I don't think there Is anv ervlnr
need of water legislation In this state,
notwithstanding all that has been said
about it. But there probably Is some
need of legislation.
'Now. what .are riparian riehts?
Whatever Is their extent, they are a
property right. The law respecting ri
parian rights will control them. The
property rights existing today are con
trolled by the laws of today. The state
Is no sacred thing. It can't acquire
Jiroperty by a declaration of the legis-ature.
The right to make a reasonable use
of , the water on the land is right of
property, Th right to -use the water
belongs to the owner of the land. It la
appurtenant to the ownership of the'
land itself." The judge then read a su-
Freme court decision to tne aoove er
ect ' - W ' : . ' .-"". !'- !- -
"There Is a reat deal of light talk
about riparian rights, and a good deal of
fioon-pooning or their existence, but it
s a part of the law of Oregon that a
man owning land along a stream, is en
titled to have what flows through that
land, and you can't get the right away
from him. . , : . ..
Blffhta Of the BUte.
"Then, where does the state come in?
Where is It , going to get the water T
How are you going to take it away by
legislation? . You might as well say
that the state can como and'take away
tny wagon by legislation.
Oh, yes, we need this water to make
homes happy homes. According to
what some say, the homes we are going
to build with this water are all To be
nappy homes, with roses blooming all
around them no death, no taxes, no
trouble. They are all to be happy. But
bow,,are we to " this water?
We talk about the old and the new
riparian rights. I am not exactly sure
just what is the old and what the new.
But it seems to be that the old riparian
right gave a man the right to use what
water he needed for watering his stock,
etc., but he could not use It for irriga
tion. The new law does give this right.
But It must be exercised by each In rec
ognition of the rights of others, acre for
acre, we might say. That is, if there
' " along a stream, each
0"V?!nC 100 a3,'4 of ,antJ- ach of us Is
entitled to one third the water in that
stream,
. "In the nature of things no, appor
tionment of riparian rights can he mart
And the reason. The supreme court
has held wrongly In my judgment, for
the fact that the supreme court says a
thing does not make It right; sometimes
they are right, but generally they're
wrong they have held that If It hold a
tract of 100 acres of lanH nr
and two other men each own a tract of
100 acres, and I buy 800 off the stream,
but adjoining my original 100 acres, that
uBcuraei riparian also. it
InU,bJB "" "ling if I bought
40,000 and I would have a rlh tn ?h
use of the water Dronnrtlnnuta in
amount of riparian land I owned. For
inn reason you cant apportion the
rights along the streams.
Volume of Water Varies.
"Another reason Is that the amount
of water In the streams varies. Some
times there Is not hslf as much as at
others. It is very attractive to say
that the title to water should h m,i,i
as exact as the title to land. This
would be very easy if the streams never
rose or fell. It's a beautiful theory but
It's hobbled and can't walk."
Home member asked whv. if nlhcr
states have laws such as are proposed
for this state. Oreirnn ahnnli nut h.
able to have them, too.
"I don't know anything about the
other states," replied Judge Webster.
"It may be that their streams are dif
ferent from ours. Anyway, I'm not in
favor of emulating all the vices and fol
lies of our neighbors. ,
"Is there nothing to be said in favor
of the riparian owner? I am not In
the employ of any special interests, I
want it understood.
"Let us suppose I have a specific In
stance in mind that a man comes here
in the early days, when there is an
empire from which to select his land.
He , goes upon a stream of water and
locates his farm there and builds his
home let us say because of the water,
because the view is beautiful, because
he has a love of nature In his soul. (I
am not ro sure that a family raised
among beautiful surroundings is not the
better for it).
"Now, he can't use the water for Irri
gation because his land Is too high, and
he doesn't need it, anyway. He waters
a few head of stock and on moonlight
nights he sits on the veranda and
watches the water rippling past.
"The time comes when people who
want to make happy homes dam the
river above him and take away the
water, leaving him nothing but the foul
bed of an abandoned stream.
"I say he has the right to stop this.
I think something is to he tftild In favor
of my old friend, who yfca'rs ago built
his home a beautiful stream. Of course.

RE6AIN TRADE
Through Service Over 0. E.
& to Lewiston Not Un
likely to Be Kesumed.
J. P. O'Brien, general manager of the
Oregon Railroad Navigation company,
has returned from a trip of inspection
over the new joint line of the Q, R. &
N. and the Northern Pacific .between
Riparla and Grangevllle,- and as a result
of conferences that are to be held in
the next few weeks over the operation
of the new line by the two roads it is
Sosslble that through service over - the
. R, & N. to Lewiston and Grangevllle
may be restored.
The Rlparla-Orangeville line, under a
stipulation entered into by the North
ern Pacific and the O. R. & N was to
be a Joint road. The O. R. &. N. con
structed that part from Riparla to Lew-
ision ana tne Normern racmc tnat
part from Lewiston to Grangevllle.
Each road is now temporarily operating
that part which it constructed. The

have to be .made In the immediate future
for the operation by the two lines.
it was to thoroughly acquaint nimseit
with conditions on the Lewiston-Qrange-vllle
line In anticipation of these con
ferences that Mr. O'Brien went to Lew
iston last week. He Is not ready yet to
make any announcement of his views
of how the joint line should be operated
and as to whether the O. R. & N. and
the Northern Pacific should have Joint
trains or each run trains ss far as
Grangevllle.
One thing is certain, however what-,
ever traffic the O. R. & N. had between
Lewiston and Portland has been lost
since the change in time between the
two cities and the dropping of the
through train to Lewiston. The suspic
ion that the rival roads had entered Into
an agreement to give all the Lewiston
traffic to Spokane Instead of dividing it
with Portland has been strong In the
breasts of a good many Portland whole
salers for some weeks.
The change In time so dlKtlniyly In
Spokane's favor has already resumed in
the transferring of considerable busi
ness from Portland to Spokane whole

"This leads to the most vital ques
tion In the water rights of Oregon to
day what are riparian water rights?
What rights lias my old friend. That
is what we want to accomplish to find
out what these rights are. How is this
to be done?
"I think something can be done by a

say to him, 'You can have what water

The secretary asked Judge WebsteT
about the right of the state to rent out
the water and collect rent upon it.
asking If President Roosevelt had not
recommended this.
"Certainly the state cannot do any
thing of the kind," replied the Judge.
"I don't think the president knows any
more about the water question than
he does about a great manv other
things he talks about except that he
knowg ail about everything and can
do no wrong. I don't think his opinions
are worth considering."
The meeting adjourned at 12 o'clock
until 1:10 p. m.
Construction work on the Walla
Walla 6c Columbia Traction company's
proposed line from Dayton. Wash., to
the Columbia river will begin Inside of
10 days, according to N. G. Blalock,
president of the traction company, who
is In Portland today, settling up mat
ters of business cqnnected with the be
ginning or worK on me line.
When the new roed is completed It
will give the farmers of the Walla
Walla valley a road of their own for
the transportation of wheat and other
crops of southeastern Washington to
the Columbia river, where they will be
transferred to the Open River Naviga
tion company's steamers for Portland.
"Nothing In the way of railroad con
struction in eastern Washington and
Oregon, that has been done for the past
10 years will compare in importance
with the construction of the new elec
tric line frdm Dayton to the river."
said Dr. Blalock, "It is especially Im
portant to Portland because it will In

products of the tremendously rich
Walla -WAHa valley to Portland.
"Our cpject is to have the farmers
own their own line so that they can
fix their" own rates in conjunction with
the Open River Navigation company's
steamers. The line Is to be a standard
gauge ' electric T miles tong and will
connect -Dayton, Walla Walla, W'hit
busg and other points In the .-Wall
Walla valley with the Columbia river,
both at Wallular and Pasco. At t !"
two points our freight can be trans

According to Dr. Blalock the Bwr
road should 'be in operation so as to
catch next fall's crop. There are about
5000 farmer in the vicinity' of Wall

"It is a line that Is as Important

No Man is Stronger
Than His Stomach
A strong man is strong all over. No man cao be
strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its
consequent indigestion, or from some other disease
of the stomach and its associated organs, which im
pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach
is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutritioa
contained in food, which is the source of all physical
strength. When a man "doesn't feel just right,"
when he doesn't sleip well, has an uncomfortable
feeling in the stomach after eating, is languid, nervous, irritable and despond
cat, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength.
