Paper Presented at Recent Meetirg
of Oregon State Grange.
By Juhn H. Lawk, Buta Enlnaar.
(CONTINUED PROM LAST WEEK.)
Laws of Other States.
Oregon, AVashington and California
have the poorest water laws of the
western states. Colorado profited by
the miMtakes of California. Later Wyo
ming and Nebraska adopted laws which
have been taken as models by other
states, except that adjudications of the
early rijliti are made by the eourts in
stead of by appointed hoards, as in
theso states. The water law defeated
by our lek-iahtures of 1905 and I'JOl
1 strueting the plant, but, also, the pos
sibility or securing good title in ad
vance to the neceasary water -supply.

our poor laws, then we should not com

of this fund is not expended within

law of this state really is, and the vast
amount of capital that is already in
vested in this state in works depending
tection to vested rights through state
control of diversions from public
streams. The leading arguments by
the enemies of this bill were as fol
lows: That the state ofllrer in charge
would have the power of a tT.nr; that
the burden on taxpayers would be ex
cessive; and that the appointment oflurion the u,e o! wMf maite jt ajJ(W.

proposed law was that no right to tho tjon 0f wter. patterned after the mod
uso of public waters should thereafter crn jawi of Wyoming, Idaho and Can-
towns In this country J"
become vested except by direct grant
from the state. ' The great power com
plained of was the authority of the
state engineer to refuso 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
sult desired.
Under the proposed law, no state
eontrol could be had until the deter
mination by the eourts of all vested
rights to the use of rater from a given
stream. Therefore, no water master
could be appointed until such time.
These adjudications will be final, as
each twain comes before the court, in
stead of constantly recurring, aa under
present conditions. The water master,
when appointed, win regulate trie in
versions of water In accordance with
the decrees aa rendered and tho rights
as granted under the new law. These
new rights will not be subject to liti
gation, no matter how long the deter
mination of the enrly rights are de
layed, as these rights will be complete
ly defined and recorded when granted,
'ill is determination of early rights may
take from 10 to 20 years, judging from
Wyoming's experience, where lt years
have been consumed in recording the
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 aa the only feasible plan of
protecting the interests of all con
cerned.
aaa, wnere Titles to water are as se
cure as title to land. Oregon's sin, not
so much of commission aa of omiasion,
in this matter, is becoming notorious
among the states of the west, where the
diversion and use of water is neces
sary, and if persisted in will greatly
retard tbe settlement of lands already
reclaimed, and discourage further de
velopment of our great water resources."

FOR
oBAD BLOOD
When bad blood h caused from an infection of the circulation by the
virus of Contagious Blood I'oison, 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, 6hov how deeply poisoned the blood
becomes, and emphasizes the dangerous character of the trouble. If allowed
to remain in the system the disease will finally wreck the health and break
j 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. H the one real and certain cure; it goes down to the very bottom of
the trouble, and by removing very 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
insidious trouble. Write for our home treatment book, which is a valuable
aid in the treatment of the different stages of the disease, and ask for any
special medical advice you wish. No charge for either.

than ono-third, before they aro five, and ono-half before they aro fifteen!
We do not hesitato to say that a timely uso of Castoria would savo a ma
jority of theso precious lives. Neither do wo hesitato to Bay that many cf theso
infantile deaths aro occasioned by tho uso of narcotio preparations. Drop3, tinctures
and soothing syrup3 sold for children's complaints contain moro or less opium, cr
morphine. They aro, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly tho roverso, but you must sco that it bears tho signature of
Chas. H. Ectchcr. Castoria causes the blood to circulato properly, epena tho
pores of tho skin and allays fover.
Letters from Prominent Physicians
addressed to Chas. II. Fletcher:
Dr. A. F. Teeler. of SL Louis, Mo., eays: "I have prescribed your Castoria
ta many cases and have always found It an cClclent and 6peedy remedy."
Dr. E. Down, of Philadelphia, Ta., saya: "I have prescribed your Cas
toria In my practice for many years with great eatisfactloa to myelf and
benefit to my patients."
Dr. Edward Tarrlsh, cf Brooklyn, N. 7., eaya: "I hava used your Cas
toria In my own household with good resulta, and have advised several
ratlcnta to use it for Its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm."
Dr. J. B. Elliott, cf ?:ew York City, says: "Having during the past six
years prescribed your Castoria for infantllo Btomach disorders, I most
heartily commend Its use.. The formula contains nothing deleterious
to the most dellcato of children."
Dr. C. C. Erracue, cf Omaha, Keb.. says: 'Tour Castoria Is aa Ideal
xnculclne for children, and I frequently prescribe IL While I do not advo
cate the Indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria Is an,
excertlon for conditions which arise in the care of children."
Dr. J. A. Tarhcr, cf Kansas City, JIo.. says: "Your Castoria holds tha
esteem of the medical rrofcsslon ja a manner held by no other proprie
tary preparation. Ii is a sure and reliable medicine for infanta and cL?..
drcn. Ia fact, it Is the universal household remedy for Infantile ailments."
Dr. IL P. Herri!!, cf Augusta, lie., gays: "Castoria I3 one cf the rery

Dr. Normaa Jt. Ceer, of Cleveland. Ohio, says: "During tha last twelve
