An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Svrl'p of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting1
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening' laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
.dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently set promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. , Its perfect freedom from
-every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
"taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
-other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California. Fig Stkup
Co. only. ' In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.

FOR WATER RIGHTS.
Portland and Dalles Men Having an
Exciting Race.
The jfollowing from the Oregonian's
-correspondent at this place gives a full
Account of a race between Portland and
Dalles men for the right to use the waters
of Clear and Frog lakes.
An exciting race is cn for a beautiful
spot in the -foothills ot Mount Hood.
Saturday morning's etage for Wapinitia
carried Attorney Joseph Gaston, of Port
land, en route for Clear lake, for the
purpose of posting notices proclaiming
to all men that the Wapinitia Valley
Irrigation Company would hereafter and
forever claim the right to use the waters
of Clear lake creek aod Frog lake creek
for the purpose of irrigating Juniper fiat
.and Wapiuitia valley. At I o'clock this
morning William Blue, a mountaineer of
established reputation, from whom the
tall timbers hides no secrete, left The
Dalles on a thoroughbred saddle-horse to
anticipate Mr. Gaston's announcement
"by assuring the public in like manner
that the Juniper Flat Irrigation Company
would claim and hold the same waters
ior a similar purpose. As Mr. Blue knows
.-all the deer trails, which Mr. Gaston has
t yet to locate, it is probable that his notices
v will fill the top of the bulletin board at
'Clear lake.
An application to the Wasco county
court to set aside the water rights of the
Oregon Land, Immigration & Fuel Com
. pany, and the Portland Irrigation, Lum
ber & Fuel Company, since granted by
the court, first attracted local attention.
On December 11, 1894, H. McCoy, J.
.Frank Nilesand R. Clinton incorporated
-the first-named company, for the purpose
'Oflnrnishing water to Juniper flat, and
.for some reason on the following day
isold for $1 their asserted water rights to
the company named.- In 1895 and dur
ing three months of 1896 some work was
done, -when the finances failed, and
"George McCoy, who was the company
And in charge of the ditch work, ear
Tendered to the sheriff of Wasco county
to escape rough handling by eighty
laborers who demanded their pay. He

jJong 50,000 acres of good fanning land,
lying between the White and Doachntes
rivers can be supplied with water for
etoek and domestic use, while at present
farmers have to haul it from one of five
jnilee.
The Portland parties, F. A.Fraziisr, H
D. Chapman, J. B. Shcnofelt, Alex
Hammond and F. B. Genio, who are
represented by Mr. Goaton, have brought
euit against these two defunct corpora
tions, and seek to secure the water rights
which by the failure to prosecute work
for over one year, have reverted to the
public, and are captilized at $300,000.

president; Hon. C M. Cartwright, of
Hay creek, vice-president, and County
Clerk A. M. Kelsav, secretary and
treasurer, are the men who have sent
Mr. Blue out on the fast horse. They
are capitalized at $250,000, and mean
business. Mr. Batty owns over 800 acres
on Juniper flat, and his father 'd family
make this their home. They propose to
pat in a 35 mite ditch 24 feet wide aod
oar feet deep, and foraieh water to the
175 families living in the region and
render this fine land'altractivo to other
possible eettler8.
The result of the rece between Mr.
Gaston and Mr. Blue is awaited with
interest.

BEGGING BY LETTER.
American Millionaires Are Annoyed
- Through the Mails. ,
Many Such Mlsalvea Received Every
Day Are Considerately Treated
, by Their Rich Re
cipients. Hated in accordance with the num-
oer ol besra'inr letters receivea, juss
Helen Gould would probably be racked
first among the men and women of
Xcw York who measure their weaith
by millions, though this was not so,
perhaps, till after she had begun her
remarkable work of relieving-the want3
of the soldiers.
Miss Gould treats her begging mail
with much more respect than do inost
persons of large wealth, for, unless
engaged with other matters, she reads
every letter asking for financial aid
on the same day it is received, setting
aside a-certain. part of each 24 hours
for its perusal in company with her
private secretary. Many of these let
ters, most of them, in fact, are so palp
ably lakes that no serious attention
is paid to them, yet so sincerely court
eous and considerate of the feelings
of others is Miss Gould that a polite
answer is sent by the next post to near
ly every letter-writing alms asker.
Miss Gould's begging mail must call
for a preposterous annual aggregate
of charity nowadays, for it has almost
doubled within the last six months,
and the total asked for in gifts by let
ter in the year 1897 as footed up by
her private secretary was a little more
than $1,000,000 or about $2,740 a day.
How much she actually gives out
for charity not even her private sec
retary knows, many benefactions be
ing extended by Miss Gould in abso
lute' secrecy.
Though richer than she by a goodly
number of millions, her brother George
does not receive nearly so many beg
ging letters, nor does he open his hand
so freely as she, yet his begging mail
is something enormous, and the num
ber of favorable responses is greater
than is generally supposed.
now the younger oi tne two im
mensely rich Rockefeller brothers
treats his begging- mail hasnever leaked
out, but John D. Rockefeller and his
family are known to give it a great deal
of their personal attention.
.They look-after it at breakfast time,
when every member of the family pres
ent takes his share of the letters ask
ng for favors, scans them, .and later
reads them aloud to the others. A
good proportion of all the Rockefeller
letters are inconsequential, as a mat
ter of course, and these receive little
discussion. This is true also of the
few. which add threats to their plead
ings, for the Rockefellers have long
been case-hardened to this sort of epis
tle, like most other modern million
aires. Letters full of unconscious hu
mor,, and those in which the writers
itrive to make their point by being pur
posely humorous are more common
than those of sinister import. Fewest
if all, as might be imagined, are the
letters which seem really worthy.
inese always receive tire most re
spectful consideration, often being dis
Hissed at length and sometimes" almost
formally, it being comparatively com
r.on, after a good deal has been said
pro and con as to the merits of the ap
peal, fcr some member of the family
to "move the request be granted" or
'investigated" cr "dropped." In such
;ases the fate of the petitioner is often
lecided by a vote, but it not infrequent
y happens that the asked-for relief is
granted in spite, of an adverse vote,
y some member of the family who be
ieves the case deserving in spite of
.he burden of opinion the other way.
Notwithstanding his uncharitable
reputation, Uncle Russell Sage gets a
Mg begging mail, though it is smaller
:han that received by Mrs. Sage. She
told a friend one day that Mr. Sage re
;eives more requests for favors on west-
2rn railroads in which he is interested
chan for r.ny other sort of benefaction
.nd that he is forever agreeing to haul
freight free for some man who has suf
fered a loss of crops, or sending passes
to some one who has made a mess of it
in the west and wants to get east again
r helping to buy seed for a farmer
who finds the world temporarily against
him.
Still, the general impression that Mrs
Sage is more .open-handed than her
husband is undoubtedly correct, her
benefactions, given entirely without
ostentation, as a rule, aggregating many
thousands of dollars a year. Russell
Sage himself has only one serious ob
jection to submitting to a general news
paper interview, and it is that every
article detailing such an interview is
followed by an enormous increase in his
begging mail. N. Y. Tress.
