OF IRRIGATION.
An excellent speech by Burritt of John
son preceded final reading and adoption
of the irrigation chapter. Water is the
property of the state and shall be divided
by a board of the state engineer, to serve
six years and four superintendents. Pri-
ority Of appropriation for beneficial pur-
poses gives the better right.
President Brown voted no. He said
that the bill gave the state all water, and
then set forth that priority gave the bet
ter right. This. he said, gave corpora
lions an opportunity to defraud the peo-
pie.
APPoRTIoNMENT.
An effort was made to postpone consid-
Grafton of the two reports of the appor-
