The water troubles on Willow
creek, adjoining Vale on the

Sam’s taking a hand. United
States Deputy Marshal John A.
Tailey has been in Vale aud ar­
rested Warren Roeder, water-
master for the Willow River I r ­
rigation company, for contempt
of court, his case coming up be­
fore Judge Wolvertou in Port­

\
-Ittle Girl Learns That 8he Will Not
Be Loser by Her Gen­
erosity.
The little girl’s pansy bed was not
thriving.
Also tho rose geranium
bush was thin and scraggly. “You
need to pick your pansy blossoms and
geranium leaves more freely,” ex­
plained the visitor.
"For Instance,
suppose you give me a bunch of
each.” A look of dismay appeared on
the small face. "Oh, but I have so
few.” "Exactly. If you will try my
rule you will have more. You save
too carefully.
Cut loose and give
more freely. There’s a great big les­
son In I t The flowers will teach yon
how. Try it just once. If my words
fall I’ll not ask you again.” Reluct­
antly the little maid complied, but
with a flushed and deeply dissatisfied
countenance as the visitor remorse­
lessly pushed the situation to Its limit
and refused to bo satisfied while a
pansy yet adoftied the bed ot a ffag-
rant leaf of any appreciable else re­
mained on the ^ush.
A week later the visitor was greet­
ed by a smiling little face and a smil­
ing pansy bed, royal In purple and
gold, while the geranium bush sturd­
ily held aloft a thick verdure of odor
ous leaves. "•Are you satisfied, little
girl?” ’Oh, yles, I ’m giving to every­
body now anid haye plenty.”
Th e properties of the Willow
River Irrigation company are
in the hands of the federal
court upon bankruptcy proceed­
ings, and Roeder, acting upon
orders from L. D. Howland, who
came here recently as a repre­
sentative of the state board of
control, attempted to turn out
water trom the reservoir at Dam
No. 3, for the benefit of the or­
chards at Brogan and Jamieson,
which it is feared will perish if
not watered.
There seemed to be a general
misunderstanding of the matter
among water users along Willow
creek, aud for a few days there
was serious talk of taking the
law into their own hands and
settling it with Winchesters out
of court.
The tools for opening the big
reservoir disappeared the night
before the watermaster went to
the dam to carry out his orders,
and he broke some of the chains
in an attempt to open it. A re­
port was circulated that it was
intended to dynamite the dam
if the tools were not returned,
permitting the order for open­
ing the reservoir to be carried
out, and this report came near
precipitating a rough-house af­
fair.
