THERE is one Objectionable fea-
ture to the new irrigation law passed
by the last session of the Legisla-
ture. 1t makes no provision for
securing water for the purpose of
irrigation. As the TIMES has as
serted before, it is almost useless to
try and adjudicate the rights of
ranchers to the water that flows in
stream by any act of Legisla-
ture. It's a hardship upon farmers
to bring them into courts to prove
their rights and new people will not
take land in the State upon which
it Will cost them a fortune to put
water. The only way to settle this
question is for the State to make APP
preparations from time to time to
store the water that is now yearly
going to waste until there is suffic-
lent for every acre of tillable land
Give the people more water and
there will be no necessity then Of
htiga lion in the dry season of the
year to see who is the owner of a
few inches of the useful liquid.
