J FAMOUS POISON PLOTS THK a((ciiiit' j'.'iij-iiiiKrw son, nicniiKT of the George lion in London, is one of many poisonings in which great characters in history have been victims or intended victims. Europe was a hotbed of poisonings in the middle ages. Killers anil men of high position kept official food-tasters who ate oi each dish before it was served. The arrest of three women, along with a man, in th alleged attempt to poison Ins cabinet member, recalls that many ot the great poison ings of history have been perpetrated by women. In England the most famous poisoning case was when "Fair Ko.satiiond," known as mistress of King Henry II, was poisoned by (juecn Eleanor, who iound her in ood stock castle. Tradition says the queen, well along in vcar.s, suddenly appeared before Rosamond offered her the choice between a cup of poison and a dag ger. Rosamond was terrified and the queen forced the draught of poison down her throat. Cleopatra. Egyptian iieen and international seduct ress, is credit with many poisonings, the chief of which was the murder of her brother, Ptolemy. .XV. with whom she 1 shared her throne. 11 is death Cleopatra's intrigue with Marc Anthony. Agrippina, wife of Claudius, the third Roman emperor, poisoned her husband A. I). 54 in order that Nero, her son by a former marriage, could succeed to the throne. Five years yater, history tells, she was poisoned by Nero at the instigation of his mistress, I'oppac. Caesar iSorgia and his sister, Lucretia, were the insti gators of scores of murders when poisoning in Italy was a J'ino art. In his effort to bring Italy under his power, Caesar liorgia won over several rulers of minor provinces and set them against the rest. After a war in which his allies were successful, IJorgia invited the allied princes to a banquet at his palace, at which several were poisoned and the rest put to the sword. A year later, l."l):i, Borgia is believed to have poisoned his own father, Rope Alexander VI, who interfered with his plans. French history shows two wholesale poisonings, both carried on by women. ' In 1()70 Marchioness de Urin Yilliers experimented with poisons among poor hospital patients, cari'vimr on whole sale murders. She was apprehended and 'beheaded after poisoning her father in KiTti. A few years later. La Yorsin, "the woman with the face of an aiurel." confessed she li:il iiiiwiiiu.il )'-sin dren and more than 100 adults. ' A poison plot uncovered in Russia in 1911 resulted in the deatli of forty persons, includiiiir Count liontiirlin )r I'autcheiiko confessed to the Aapoteon was constantly threatened with assassination and was one of the many who kept a court officer whose uiiiy it was to taste all food ruler. HITTING THE SMALL LAND-OWNER T l':i'K'ESET.TI-K (i()hE has forced an amendment to the irrigation code the state irrigation congress ing upon the lorniation ol an owners owning less than two UIMI ICl. .Mr. Core went on record during the pre-election cam paign as being in favor of irrigation, vet the sole object of this amendment is to bar the 10 na e water to make Ins little pay, from participation in scenic water, or irom voice in The amendment; is evident large land owners, who have i omiiiiie ineir siiccessiui opposition, thereby retarding the growth, development and prosperity of the vallev. If .Mr. (lore desired to bar the residents upon propertv adjacent to the city, platted as town lots, there would be little objection, but it is unfair, undemocratic and unjust to bar the little farm-owner who with water, can realize Irom an acre as much i nne as many of the slipshod drv fanners realize from forty acres. Why discriminate against any proper! v-owner whose laud will be made productive bv water? Whv make the 11111 " ownership two acres Whv not make it five. or ten. or, better yet. to suit the large owner.

After tieurjse t'ornwiill, editor id the Tiiiiberinan, Itad briefly spoken for Ihe bill.
