PRIORITY WATER RIGHTS.
Tho Selden Canal MISREPRESENTATION
Of the Rio Grande Waters
PoweiPs Reply.

Col. W. S. Rynerson, who passed down
the road night before last en- route from
Washington, states that decision from
the secretary OF war on the Fort Selden
irrigation canal right of way may be
looked for any day and will doubles be
favorable. Secretary Proctor some weeks
ago addressed note to Major Powell, ofthe
geological survey, asking him to submit
an opinion OF the question as to whether
the right of way through tue military re-
serve, now suspended, be restored, and il
restored, on what conditions looking to
the security Of those both in the Mesilla
and Ell Paso valleys, holding vested rights
in the water by prior appropriation?
In an elaborate reply Major Powell
says, among other things
| The failure Of the river usually occurs
in the latter part OF the irrgatng season
when the greatest quantity OF water Is
needed. From all that is known it seems
probable that this difficulty has been ex.
perienced from tine bekinnlngot irrigation
in this region several generations ago tC
The present time, but by reason OF the
greater use of the water high up in the
valley the scarcity is now greatly increased
so that the time has at last come when it
is to be determined whether any irrigation
can long continue in the valley OF lower
New Mexico and upper Texat. Ii the de.
velopment along the upper reaches Of the
Rio Grande and its tributaries shall con.
tinue for ten years more at the ratio OF
progress observed for The past ten years,
then all irrigation in the lower region un.
der consideration will be destroyed, unless
some additional resource OF water is sup
Piled from the fact that in critical seasons
all the waters will he used above. This
additional resource must come from the
storage of the waters which now run to
waste the greater part of the year during
the non.irrgating season.
n ats purpose and function can
only be to utilize the water of the irrgat.
ing season. The wisdom and proprlety
