COURT'S DECREE
Land Owners Will Pay $162
for. Removal of Wing
Dams Norton Says
Stream Owned to Center
A perpetual injunction restricting
placer mining in Rogue river,
along a three-mile strip owned
by Herbert Flelscnaeker, California
power magnate and group f fellow
capltallsts, was granted . by Circuit
Judge H. D. Norton In a decree land
ed down late yesterday.
A stipulation between Frank De
Souza, attorney for the placer miners
headed by Tyson Pankey and others,
and Attorney George M. Roberts, for
the Anglo London Paris bank of San
Francisco, as trustee for Flelschackor
preceded the decree.
As In Its preliminary rulings, the
court held that Rogue river was a
stream of "limited navigability." and
that the landowners were holders of
riparian rights to mid-stream.
. The landowners agree to pay the
placer miners' 8182.60 for the removal
of the wing dams In the stream,
which they claimed changed the
course of the river and altered the
shore line.
The case Is now settled. It attract
ed considerable editorial attention
from the upstate press last month,
who were under the mls-apprehen-slon
that the fishing In Rogue river
was being violated. The court then
held that the fish question was 'In
no wise Involved. Out of court it
developed tfiat the California land
owners had made Improvements to
make fishing easier, and had wel
comed anglers to their property.
Flelschaker mentioned In the case,
was former owner of the Portland
Telegram, and In the late "free pow
er" campaign was frequently mentioned.

NN PENNINGTON
Famous stage and screen star,
still radiantly youthful, tells
.v how to stay alluring.
I NEVER MIND telling my
age," says dainty little Ann
Pennington. "As long as a
woman doesn't look old, I don't
see why birthdays should worry
her.' :- ;.".;
i "And nowadays there isn't
much excuse for looking one's
age. Any one who really wants
to can keep youthful charm
right through the years. ' '
. "We on the stage, of course,
guard youth as our most price;-,
less treasure. Without it, we
can't hope to hold the admira
tion we have won.
"So no matter how busy we
may be, we give our complex-
Ions the most diligent care. A
skin with that soft glowing sort
of look is always appealing.
For years I have used Lux
Toilet Soap regularly. It does
leave my skin so youthfully
smooth and fresh!"
Countless other lovely stars
agree with this famous dancer
about Lux Toilet Soap!
In Hollywood, 60S of the 613
leading actresses use it. And
this fragrant white soap is offi
cial in all the great film studios.
Surely your skin should have
this gentle, luxurious care!
