 It is further ordered that lleZekiah Brooks turn over all property of the Peck Mining Company held by him as such Receiver, to the Agent or Su- perintendent of the said Peck Min ing Company, and that he, llezekiah Brooks, make and file with the Clerk of this Court. q sworn report of all his proceedings in the premises

HE WATER QUESTION.

At various times through these col umns, have we called the attention of those controlling the different irrignt- ing canals, to tho amount of water wasted. and the lack of water for irri- yalion on the western portion of the valley. There are at present seven distinct water companies on this side of the river, and of course tap the river at as many different points. With the exception of the Grand Canal Company, tLe dtches arc small and in consequence the supply is inadequate. It has been proposed. and meets with the approval of near Jy all the farmers, that if there were but one company owning ditch like that of the grand canal, water would he more plentiful and al cheaper rates As it is now, in case of q freshet their sand dams would be unable to stand the pressure. and thereby cause e. siruction of property, and when there is q scarcity, a failure of crops to those far away from the main line of canals. This would be entirely obvi- ated hy the formation of one compa- nv. This company could build a solid dam that would withstand a flood, and thus cause larger and swiftcr body of wafer to flow through the canal, thus saving at least fifty per cent of the water lost by absorb ton and evaporation. Smaller canals from the main one constructed on every section, would ensure all with plenty of water, The cost of keeping in repair one large dam and the clean ing out nf the ditches would be les sered considerably As 1t is at the present time. with these small ditches, thc wastage of water is so great that crops in the lower portion of the val lev will be a failure, and endless liti- cation will be in order. It IS to be hoped that the different companies will take the matter in hand, and or ganize q company that will be alike acceptable to themselves and the far
 mcr.

According to recent decision Of the United States Supreme Court. the Thurman Act has been declared con stitutional. It will be remembered that Senator Thurman introduced this bill about 2 year ago. and was insiruusental in getting is through both branches Of Congress. Tire h" ''cornpels the Union and Central Pscifc Railway Companies to pay 29 per cent, of their annual net earnings, including the whole of the compen- sstIon due them for services rendered to the Government, to the Treasurer of the United States, to be by him applied partly in payment of the ac- crued interest upon the bonds issued
 by the Government to the two Com panies, and partly to the establish ment of a sinking fund in the United States Treasury for the final payment sf the Company's bonded indebted ness" The law has not been enfor
 eed. because the Companies have been fighting it in the Court claim ing that it was unconstitutional. The dsciaion just rendered by the Su- prcmc Court was not unanimous, three Judges dissented from the opinion, but it probably settles the question.
