On a hike It is. necessary to have
some protection against sunburn,

nnd for tills purpose eitiier a gener

a smearing of alnc oxlilo ointment
will afford Bocid protection.
Tho walking shoes should bo light

heeled, neither tight as dress shoes
nor any looser than ts necessary to
avoid all presmire, and the soft up
pers should extend at least half way
up the log. The toes should bo broad
and glvo room to permit free wrig
gling of tho toes within. Tho shoes
should bo roomy enough to permit
wearing a cork insole as a cushion
fur tho feet, or perhaps thick or
double wool socks for that purpose.
For hiking over soft ground, turf

better than any shoes.
Ussy or "athletic" union suits of

Answer Gossip of that -kind is
generally made of whole cloth. Here
is a fair anil proper rulo which 1
commend to any nnd every young
woman contemplating marriage: No
engagement to marry should bo even
considered until the suitor has pre
sented to tho parent or guardian a
certificate of health from a physician
in good standing. This is the only
protection wo can give, tho prospec
tive bride against tho risk of ruinous
disease, I believe. In view of tho
customs and views of our times, a
young man, any young man, ought
to undergo tho necessary examination
and obtain tho health certificate be
fore he ventures to propose mar
riage; nnd every parent who has a
daughter to give in mnrringo is
morally if not religiously or legully
bound to prutect that daughter to

An Ai.Mer to Mr. riilpps. ' -
To the Kdltor:
The communication from Mrs.
Ilowley's attorney. K. Phipps, In
yesterday's tribune is easily under
stood. Home yenrs ago the tate pass
ed an net" called the water cmle. The
purpose was to determine what rights
each of tho users tn a stream nnd
to tl' use of the waters of that
stream. When these facts were de
termined and the water of the stream
carefully measured, from year to
year, then the difference between
the waters that belonRed to users
under vested rights and the flow of
the stream left the water that gas
subject to future uses The pur-

pose of the law was to determine
what water Is left in tho various
streams for cities and other appio-piiatoi-B.
It was llko a merchant
inveiitorylnir a stock of goods;
as he. Hold ho would deduct from
tho Inventory; tho balance always
showed t.ho amount of stock in tno
store. Bo. after a stream Is adju
dicated, aa tho law calls It. tho rights
of everybody havo been determined
bv a decree. . Tho sum of these
waters decreed to these users deduct
ed from tho flow of tho stream
shows tho amount of water left for
a city, or other user, to take.
This was done. In the caso of
Rogue Itlver and all of its tribu
taries. Ulg Butto is one ot tho prin
cipal tributaries of ltoguo river. The
law requires every, user to put In
Ills claim. In order thut ho can get
a decree for his part of tho water.
Vt'hon tho waters of Itoguc river
were thus adjudicated some 900
claimants, under almost that many
ditches, put in their claims to the
waters of Itogue river nnd the
streams that run into It. The Row
ley interests had no claim and so
put in none. They "never have used
a drop of water from this Btream
in their lives. The attorney for
tho Rowleys wants the matter adju

It may ho strange, yet. who would
change
I Time's course to slower speeding.
When one by ono our friends have
gone
And left our bosoms bleeding?
Heavdn gives our years of. fading
strength ;
Indemnifying fleetncss:
And those of youth, a seeming length.
Proportioned to their sweetness.
