Stat Engineer. (CONTINUED FROM LAST WEEK.) Laws of Other States. Oregon,' Washington and California have the poorest water laws of the western states. Colorado profited by the mistakes of California. Later Wyo ming and Nebraska adopted laws which have been taken as models by otner some pian ior tne conservation or our states, except that adjudications of the great natural resources will doubtless early rights are made by the courts in-, have but little to say with respect to Stead of by appointed boards, as in the conservation of water on the non these states. The water law defeated navigable streams of the states. This by our legislatures of 1905 and 1907 , followed closely the laws recently en acted by Utah, Idaho, North and South Dakota and Oklahoma. The Canadian law has been declared by resolution of j the American Irrigation Congress to be the best of its kind on this conti-1 nent. All these modern laws are based upon the water laws of Italy, which have developed throueh centuries .of experience. Thus Oregon has no lack of precedent, and should profit by the ' experience or tnese otner states ana countries Arguments Against State Control. The water code presented to the last ' 1 legislature provided a comprehensive system of titles to water and for pro- taction to vested rights through state tumiui. ux ivw. I'"""- streams. The leading arguments ly the enemies of this bill were as fol- plained of was the authority or tne state engineer to refuse any application which did not conform with the law. To pass the bill without any means of enforcing it would have the same effect as defeating the bill, which was the re suit desired. Under the proposed law, no state control could be had until the deter mination by the courts of all vested rights to the use of water from a given stream. Therefore, no water master could be appointed until such time. J These adjudications will be final, as each basin comes before the court, in stead of constantly recurring, as under ' present conditions. The water master, when appointed, will regulate the di I versions of water in accordance with the decrees as rendered and the rights as granted under the new law. These j new rights will not be subject to liti j gation, no matter how long the dctcr ; mination of the early rights are de j layed, as these rights will be complete ly defined and recorded when granted. rnV.:a JnUvmlnQ inn ftf AH 11 V T 1 (til 3 fl II V taVn f,nm 1(1 to 2n vcars. iudeincr from I Wyoming's experience, where 18 years have been consumeu in Tecoraing me territorial rights under the new law. The system of dividing the state into districts, according to drainage basins, with one or more water masters in charge of each basin, has been demon strated as the only feasible plan of protecting the interests of all con cerned. The fees charged in the granting of growers report success with the Ale t titles by the state were intended within ander, and this is practically the only a lew years to more man meet me cusl to the state. If franchises to the use of water were limited m time, and ultimately a charge made for the use of this public resource, the state water department could, in time, be made to yield a large revenue to the state.

The board put off this action until after the adionrnment of the legislature, hoping that the legislation which thoy had recommended for the protection of settlers might be enacted. The state i8 now in the deplorable position of authorizing the sale of a commodity which it owns, but over which it has no control. It is attempting to super vise the expenditure of millions of dol lars in the interest of future settlers, without appropriating a single cent for administrative purposes. Already the state has begun suit analna4 nna tf f hnan A s tl rtn nina i-kAjintian of the sale of some $100,000 worth of of the 7P f a", th?if ? ' iJS water rights to intending settlers the people."

This involve not only the feasibility of eon- strvictiig the plant, but, also, the pos- mutiny oi securing good uue in ad vance to the necessary water supply.) If clear title to sufficient water cannot be assured in advance, on account of our poor laws, then we should not com plain because Oregon's rightful share of this fund is not expended within her borders. State Control. The conference of governors now in session at Washington, D. C, to devise is entity a state problem and we alone must be responsible for the use or abuse of this necessity of life. Any new policy devised by this conference for government control of navigable or interstate streams can affect Oregon but little. The conservation of this great sat oral resource in the interest of poster- ity cannot only be accomplished with' out sacrifice or cost to the present generation, but to its great benefit and pruiu, n we oniy win. We resented bitterly the offer of President Eoosevelt, through his recla mation denartment. to assist na in the framing of creditable water laws. We are now nersistentlv disres-ardinir the warning of our worthy governor, who has well said that "the great uncer- tainiy as to lines to water, me wiuo difference of opinion among the ablest water lawyers as to what the water so much of commission as of omission, j this matter, is becoming notorious among the states of the west, where the divergion and use 0f water is neces- sary an(j if persisted in will greatly retard the settlement of lands already reclaimed, and discourage further de velopment of our great water re sources." QUERIES BY FARMERS. Experiment Station Called Upon for Advice on Various Subjects. From the Washington State College, Pullman A farmer writes from Seguin ask ing for varieties of apples to plantain that locality. He was supplied wit!, information as follows: "For winter apples, try the Bald win, Spy, Northwest Greening, Eng lish Russett, Wagener and Grimes Golden. If you desire a few early apples, plant Yellow Transparent, Duchess, Gravenstein and King. The former apples are the commercial ap ples of western Washington. The experiment station has some knowl edge of both the Delicious and the King David apples. They are com paratively new, and might succeed re markably well with you, yet your planting them would be more or less of an experiment. "The question of peaches in your localitv is an undecided one.

We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven percent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma jority of these precious lives, Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever.

Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for Infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily commend its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. C. Epraue, of Omaha, Neb., says: 'Tour Castoria is an Ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advo cate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria Is an. exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A. Tarker, cf Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the esteem of the medical profession In a manner held by no other proprie tary preparation. It is a sure and rellable'medlclne for" infants and chS drcn. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. II. F.

I can, furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to Its efficiency and merits." Dr. Norman M.
