A Remarkable Recovery.
Mrs. Frank Stroebe, R.I D. 1, Apple
ton, Wis., writes : "I began using Peru
na a few months ago, when my health
and strength -were all gone, and I was
nothing but a nervous wreck, could
not sleep, eat or rest properly, and felt
no desire to live. Pcruna made me look
at life in a different light, as I began to
regain my lost strength.
'I certainly think Perunals without
a rival as a toaicaad strength builder. "

STATE CONTROL OF WATER.
Paper Presented at Recent Meeting
of Oregon State Grange.
' Br Juiin H. Lewis. 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.

I Wyoming's experience, where 18 years
have been consumeu in Tecoraing me

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

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.

During the. first six months of 1907
the state land board authorized the
sale of water rights to these desert
lands, amounting to $4,692,700. 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

authorizing the sale of a commodity

without appropriating a single cent
for administrative purposes.

involve not only the feasibility of eon-
strvictiig the plant, but, also, the pos-

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

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.

ity cannot only be accomplished with'
out sacrifice or cost to the present
generation, but to its great benefit and

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. A few

cessful from your section. Ypu will
have practically no trouble in grow
ing grapes, since some of the best
grapes we have are grown Over

Save the Babies.
INPAUT MOETALITT is sometliing frightful. 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.

When bad blood 13 caused from an infection of the circulation by the
virus of Contagious Bldod Poison, it usually shows in the form of ulcerated
mouth and throat, copper-colored splotches on the body, swollen glands in
the groin, falling hair, sores and ulcers, etc. These general symptoms,
affecting all parts of the body, show how deeply poisoned the blood
becotres, and emphasizes the dangerous character of the trouble. If allowed
to remain in the system the disease will finally wreck the health and break
down the strongest constitution. No medicine can cure Contagious Blood
Poison which does not rid the circulation of every particle of the virus.
S. S. S. is the one real and certain cure; it goes down to the very bottom of
the trouble, and by removing every trace of the poison, and adding rich,
healthful qualities to the blood, forever cures this powerful disorder. S. S. S.
is the most reliable of all blood purifiers, and its concentrated ingredients of
healthful vegetable extracts and juices especially adapt it to curing- this

Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. II. Fletcher.
Dr. A. P. Peeler, of St Loula, Mo., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria
In many cases and have always found It an efficient and speedy remedy."
Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "I have prescribed your Cas
toria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and
benefit to my patients."
Dr. Edward Farrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., saya: "I have used your Cas
toria In my own household with good results, and have advised several
patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from barm."
Dr. J. B. 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. Merrill, of Augusta, Me., says: "Castoria is one of the very
finest and most remarkable remedies for Infants and children. In my
opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can,
furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to Its efficiency
and merits."
Dr. Norman M. Ceer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last tweTv
years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best
preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very ef
fective In relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such
a pleasant preparation can be administered Is a great advantage."
