KING AMENDMENT TO WATER j
CODE HAS MANY A FOE
If the King amendment to the wa
ter code is passed by the legislature
original framers of the code assert
that it will undo all the work accom
plished in Oregon for equitable dis
tribution of water rights, .transform
the state water board of control from
an administrative to an inflexible Ju-
dicial body and add $6200 annually to
'the financial burden of Oregon with
out providing for corresponding ben
efits, says the Journal.
The government reclamation ser
vice in Oregon 1b also opposed to pas
sage of the amendment on the ground
that it will disturb the harmonious
co-operation between federal and state
water power and irrigation develop-
ment and nullify much of the work
already accomplished.
Although the amendment provides
"for an increase of $1200 a year In
the salary of State Engineer Lewis,
Mr. Lewis is understood to be oppos
ed to its passage for the reasons men
tioned. It is at the same time bo
generally conceded that $200 a month
is not adequate pay for the import
ant duties performed by the state en
gineer that it is believed the $100 a
month increase will be provided for
otherwise.
That there Is no popular demand
for the passage of the amendment
and that the present water code has
not been given full opportunity to
show Its working value in the two
years since it was passed are other
reasons assigned why the King am
endment should be rejected by the
' legislature. Speaking In behalf of
the framers of the water code, which
w passed in 1909, Attorney Rich
ard W. Montague said yesterday.
"Ixt Well Enough Alone" Montague
"To change the water code at this
time appeals to me strongly as am
ounting to the same thing as pulling
a healthy bush from the earth to see
if by some means its roots cannot be
made to grow a little faster. In two
years the new water code has done
wonderful things for Oregon. Con
troversies have been settled with lit
tle expense, water rights have been
equitably apportioned, while as In ad
ministrative body the board of con
trol consisting of the state engineer
and two superintendents has proven
itself highly effective. The amend
ment proposed by ex-Justice Will R.
King adds to the board of control a
new superintendent and makes Its de
cisions have the finality of a court's.
Its prosent powers are to ascertain
the facts in any controversy and make
reports accordingly. The amendment
according to ex-Justice King, will
make circuit court litigation unneces
sary, as appeals will be taken direct
from the board to the supreme court
As a matter of fact litigation and de
lays will be increased. The board
now acts informally and without be
ing subject to legal delays. Its find
ings are nearly always final because
correct. Because the people Interest
ed feel that the board is impartial and
fair the controversy of whatever na
ture usually ends at once.
"The amendment also provides that
the district superintendent shall num
ber three rather than two, that the
salaries of district superintendents
shall be $2500 a year instead of $2000
and that the state engineer shall re
ceive $3600 Instead of $2400 a year.
There is no particular complaint
against salaries, because performance
of the duties merits recompense, but
a lessened effectiveness, an Increase
of red tape, delays in settlement, are
all to be complained of and we do
complain."
Attitude of Reclamation Service.
"The reclamation service has not
the slightest political Interest in the
King amendment," said Oliver P.
Morton, general couisel of the recla
mation service In Oregon, California
and Nevada, yesterday. "But we are
interested in working out together
the water right problems of this
state. Our experience has been that
the present water code is away ahead
of laws In other states. It has been
particularly beneficial wherever facts
were needed to be ascertained, as In
one notable case on Butter creek in
Eastern Oregon, where a serious con
tention was settled informally in a
few months by the board when in
litigation It would -have required all
the way from three years to eternity
for settlement.
"As an administrative body the
board of control gives splendid ser
vice. As a judicial body It will no
longer seem a 'little cousin' to water
users, but a rigid, unbending court,
where arbitration will be imnonnihlA
where all legal delays will be Invoked
and where bad feeling will rule. For
tnese reasons we think it would be
unfortunate for Oregon if the legis
lature were to adont the Kinir am
endment."
Worn out.
That's the way you feel about tho
lungs when you have a. hacking
cough. It's foolishness to let it Lo
on and trust to luck to get over it,
when Ballard's Horehound Syrup will
stop the cough and heal the lungs.

Spokane Case Up on March 2o.
Portland, Ore. A telegram was re
ceived here from the secretary of the
Interstate commerce commission at
Washington stating that further hear
ings would be held there, beginning
on March 20, of the petition of Se
attle, Tacoma and Portland for low
er distributive rates, sometimes known
as the "back haul case," of Spokane,
Wash., asking that the long and short
haul clause be applied to rates from
the east to Spokane (also known as
the "Spokane rate case") and of the
case Involving distributive rates in
the Willamette valley, Oregon.
Hen Thief Reads Bible.
North Yakima, Wash. To keep his
mind employed and prepare him for
hearing, Oscar Stump, one of the
boys being examined before Court
Commissioner Cresap for stealing
chickens, was required to read "de
liberately and intelligently" the book
of Job and the four gospels, Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John, once, twice,
three times. He was then required
to tell his sister and the court what
he had read about. The hearing vt
the seven boys was continued. Will
Alexander, who has regular employ
ment, was let out on parole.

TJfe Saved at Death's Door.
"I never felt so near my grave,"
writes W. R. Patterson of Welling'
ton. Tex., as when a frightful cough
and lung trouble pulled me down to
100 pounds In spite of doctors' treat
ment for two years. My father, moth
er and two sisters died of consumption
and that I am alive today Is due sole
ly 'o Dr. King's New Discovery, which
completely cured me. Now I weigh
1S7 pounds and have been well and
strong fox years." Quick, fafe. sur

The parliamentarians are not going
to get the suffragettes off their hands
very easily, and It is reported that they
will make certain overtures to tae
clamors for women's votes In order to
get rid of tho agitators. But the suf
fragettes and their friends are on the
lookout for "Jokers" and everything
else that looks like legislation to make
them appear ridiculous and the gov
ernment will have to pass laws that
are satisfactory as far as they go, or
else let the suffragettes go on break
ing windows, holding monster parades
and making such other demonstra
tions as they deem necessary to the
cause and essential to the embar
rassment of Premier Asqulth and his

For u man who didn't believe In
immortality, the late Senor Francisco
Ferrer has a most lively ghost.
Well might Alfonso say: "Life is
Just one Ferrer spook after
another."
The anniversary of Fcrrer'a death,
his birthday, the date on which his
first modern school was opened, the
anniversary of the publication of his
various books, the commemoration of
various events connected with his car
eer all call for celebrations and ob
servations which serve to keep Spain
in an uproar.
With a Ferrer anniversary to com
memorate republican representatives
from all parts of Spain convened to
take steps to reorganize the party and
nominate a chief.
Among the republicans the predic
tion Is freely made that Spain will be
the next to follow In the wake of
Portugal. The overthrow of the
monarchy and the exile of Alfonso Is
now alleged to be a matter of months,
possibly of weeks or days.
The apparent success of the Portu
guese republic and the martyrdom of
Ferrer have combined to give the re
publican movement In Spain an im
petus that it otherwise fight have
been years In attaining.
The republicans, as an organized
political party, have now become so
strong as to lead the government to
adopt an attitude of conciliation. The
warfare on the church was commenc
ed In an effort to placate the repub
licans, who are largely anti-clericals.
The plan succeeded temporarily, but
the republican agitation has now
broken out afresh and with renewed
enthusiasm.
"Remember Ferrer!" and "Follow
Portugal!" are bnttlecries which are
now heard all over the country.
The chief to bo named by the re
publican gathering today may become
the president of tho . Republic of
Spain.
Since the triumphant verdict for
King George in the Myllus libel case,
Admiral Seymour and his daughter,
Mrs. Napier, have been somewhat
lionized both in political and social
circles. The story about Qeorge's hav-i
Ing married Mrs. Napier, a!j Ming
Seymour, had been goir the rouna3
so long that there ere many who
tually bel;.;.VeUi despite assertions to
the, contrary, that It contained much
truth. Now that King George and
Mrs. Napier have both been vindi
cated, the powerful politically and so
cially seem to be trying to make
amends for what, the lady In the caa3,
at least, has suffered for the last 20
years.

A man In Connecticut gave a doc
tor, a specialist In catarrh, $50 to
cure him of this common yet most
obnoxious disease.
The specialist gave him a bottle
of medicine and told him to use It.
The fool took the medicine home,
took one dose, put it on a shelf and
made no further effort to follow in
structions. Three months later with the medi
cine still on the shelf ho told a friend
that the specialist was a fake; that he
had paid him $50 and still had ca
tarrh. HYOMEI (pronounco it High-o-me)
won't cure catarrh if you don't
breathe It; It will If you breathe It
regularly.
Furthermore, you don't need to give
a specialist $50 to cure you of ca
tarrh for the specialist Is yet to be
born who can write a better prescrip
tion than HYOMEI.
Tallman & Co and druggists every
where guarantee HYOMEI to cur
catarrh or money back. A complete

afterwards needed costs but 50 cents.
