COQUILLE, COOS COUNTY, OREGON, WEDNESDxLY, JULY 18, 1906.
Ail International Question
In the last issue o f the monthly
law publication, "Case and Com
ment,” there appears a brief but
interesting dissertation on the basis
of Federal interference in the mat
ter of presenting the diversion of
the water of Niagara River for in
dustrial purposes.
The argument
is made that while the rights of the
Federal Government in the premises
have been clouded by doubt, on the
broad ground of international obli
gation interference is entirely de
fensible.
T o best present the position of
the writer in “ Case and Comment’ ’
we offer a quotation:
As a boundary between the na
tions, this river is a natural feature,
in the continued existence of which
each nation has an undoubted right.
Any attempt of either nation to di
vert the waters of Lake Erie through
some other channel than that of the
Niagara river would unquestionably
wrong the other nation, and would
be, under international law, a just
cause of war. It is not easy to see
why tbe same is not true of any at
tempt of either nation to drain the
waters of the river into obannels,
ditches, or tunnels of any kind by
which the natural course and con
dition of the river is materially
changed. The sublime Cataract is
a part of this international river,
and it is equally a treasure of each
nation, the preservation of which
each is justly entitled to demand.
If it is true that each natiou is en
titled to demand the continued exist
ence of the Cataract, or of the river,
it is obvious that it is the business
of the Federal Government to pro-
vent any such action in this country
as will constitute an international
offense.
If Great Britain has a
right to demand the enforcement of
the ancient maxim that the water
■ball flow as it has been accustomed
to flow, it is the federal Govern
ment, and not the State of New
York, that must answer the demaud.
This view of the matter is novel
but apparently sound, It is not at
this time so important as it is inter
esting.
Tbe question concerning
Niagara is in course of satisfactory
solution. Public sentiment on both
sides of tbe line was overwhelmingly
against the diversion of water from
the river and the destruction of the
falls. It is not at all probable that
the refusal of either government to
take proper action would have been
resolved to a casus belli.
It is
nevertheless a very pretty point
that has been raised in international
law, that this might have been the
fact should either government elect
to force the issue.—Ex.

J. W. Bennett, has received a let
ter from Hon. Joseph E. Ransdall,
Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee cf the National Rivers &
Harbors Congress, and Representa
tive for Florida in tbe House of
Representatives of the United States
dated at Washington, D. C- on the
21st. ult saying:
“ Yours of the 9th inst to hand.
I appreciate your invitation to visit
Coos Bay and the Coqnille while on
my trip to the Coast and I will try
to do so. While out there I will
be in the bands of my friends, in
cluding Hon. W. L. Jones. It is
my desire to make a thorough in
vestigation of the entire Coast.
I
certainly hope that nothing will
happen to prevent me making the
trip. My present plan is to make
it is’ September.” It is to be hoped
that Representative Ransdall will
take the time to visit this section,
as ho is Chairman of the Committee
on the Rivers and Harbors in the
House of Representatives of the
United States, as his personal in
spection of this section will enable
him to more fully understand
wherein the improvement of the
Harbors are most important in tbe
development of the resources of this
coast. There is a very marked dif
ference as to the depth of water
needed at a bar harbor as compared
with eastern harbors such as New
York, where there are no bars to
contend with. It is safe to say
that if New York was a bar harbor
it would be necessary to have at
least sixty feet of water on the bar
there to accomodate tbe shipping
in that harbor now accomodate
with 35 feet at the entrance; and
this is one of the reasons why Rep
resentative Ransdall should visit
thia section. So that he will be able
to make it so clear to Chairman
Burton of the Committee on River
and Harbors that he was in error in
his recent remarks on Coos Bay.
He will be accompanied by Hon. W.
L. Jones, Representative in Con
gress for the State of Washington,
and possibly by our own senators
and representatives.— Sun.
If you are interested in poultry,
by all means send 25 cents in pos
tage stamps to the Associated Fan
ciers, 400 N. 3rd St, Philadelphia,
Penn., for their new book, on the
diseases of poultry.
Although
comparatively small it is so concise,
terse and lucid as to be of great
value to the fancier and the breeder
of poultry. It shows how to man
age and rear fowls, how to detect
their different ailments, and how to
treat them by either allopathic or
homoeopathic remedies. It is from
the pen of the lste John E. Diehl,
the well known American Poultry
Association Judge, one of the high
est authorities o d poultry.
