To tho Water Right o~ners under
the La Junta and Lamar Canal.

oBihiohS WIN lhofc VI ACoo Oh thO'O
who are interested in the water rights
of the La Junta and Lamar Canal
Co., We believe there is a strong de-
sire to adjust the differences which
hav. eliminated in the litigation di-
rectly involving the interests of many
Of the land owners under that canal,
and adversely affecting the welfare Of
the entire community. Being inter
ested by way of mortgages on large
amount OF land located under the
canal, we are also anxious to reach
some fair settlement of the matters
involved. To that end we are willing
to make concessions which we think
are reasonable, equitable and Just.
1t has been suggested that we formu-
late proposition as basis of com
promise, and present the same to those
whose interests are involved in order
that our ideas may be known and
considered.
As is doubtless known to you, we
hold trust deed on the property Of
the La Junta g. Lamar Canal Co, ex-
ecuted about year ago to secure
s25, 769.17, covering advances from
time to time made for the purpose Of
paying mechanics liens, judgments,
operating and maintaining expenses,
&c. Large additional expenditures
subsequent to that time have also
been made. Other interests which
we represent have also contributed
large sums for the same purpose since
the organization Of the canal compa-
ny, and all aggregating fully $50, 900.
We now propose to cancel our trust
deed, terminate all further litigation
and cause to be conveyed to the water
right owners, the La Junta & Lamar
Canal Co. property including all res
ervoirs, franchises and property rights
to be hereafter operated by the water
right owners without interference;
PROVIDED:
1. That upon the organization OF
the canal company. as contemplated
by the terms of the water deeds is
sued, there shall be conveyed to our
selves in consideration therefor,
shares of stock representing 30 water
rights.
2. That all water rights hereto
fore issued, amounting to 1O44 cubic
feet, shall be recognized and placed
on an equal footing in addition there
to, and stock in the new company is
sued pro rata therefor.
3. That the King Reservoir shall
be developed in accordance with such
plans as may be determined upon,
and that all the stockholders, includ-
ing the 80 rights SO to be issued shall
be assessed such pro rata amount
as may be required to pay for such
development. ct is estimated by
competent engineers that an assess
ment of $50 per water right will prove
ADEQUATE to develope the reservoir
The Portland daily press., 1894-06-02

called for 4-inch broadsde guns, and
that the Ordnance Bureau, after those
plans had been completed, suggested the
substitution of heavier ones. But it
was also found that at the time when
the Secretary of the Navy approved this
practicability had been made to the
Construction Bureau. The point in
ouired about had been whether the
change in ordnance weights would ma
terially affect the stability of the ships,
and the reply was in the negative. This
response was not only expected, but
very natural, on the superstition of
difference in weight between the 4-inch
and the 5-inch guns is exceedingly
small compared with the total tonnage,
and presumably the substitution would
be feasible with good margin of meta
centric height
But there was second proof which
seemed to put beyond all doubt the fact
that any crankiness was due TO original
errors of construction in planning rather
than to the proposed change OF battery.
This proof was that, as has been said, the
Machias and the Castine were found to
need an actual altering in their porpor-
tions by being cut in two am1dshlps,
and in them the original batteries fur
nished by the Ordnance Bureau had not

fault in their case was apparently that
of construction, the original plans being
made on the ordnance weights as first
given.
Then, however, still another point
arose, namely, as to whether the various
bureaus confined themselves to the
weights originally prescri bed, or increased
them without warrant in such way as
to interfere with the plans of the Bureau
of Construction. This suggested unpleas-
ant contentious, but meanwhile the De-
troit was helping to mend matters by
showing that the degrees of crankiness
atri buted to her was very far from be-
ing alarming. She made her voyage to
Rio, and, after gaining plenty OF reputa-
ton there, returned to the United States
IN style which caused Commander
Brownson to be not only satisfied, hut
enthusiastic over her seaworthiness.
This had been shown in heavy winds
and seas: and largely in consequence of
his report anxiety as to the 2,U00 tonners
has subsidized. The Stability Board,
which again met this week, with Com
Of Rear Admiral Walker, now at
Hawaii, had the reports of Commander
| Brownson before it in making the re-
| Communications attributed to it.
| 1t is doubly gratifying, therefore, to
| hear that the vessels of the Detroit class
Will need only small reduction OF the1I
| battery power, and also that the doubts
| suggested as to effectiveness in planning
| have been so largely dispelled. 1t may
| also be noted that an examination of the
Indiana class of battle ships had resulted
in gratifying proofs of their stability.
OF course, considering the Importance
| of high speed in cruisers, it would moi
| be advisable to alter the Detroit class by
| giving it extra weight to carry, with g
| consequent diminution of speed and in
creased cost of fuel. Hence a decision
| to substitute the 5-inch for the 6-inck
| guns carried at bow stern would bt
preferable, and no doubt these three
vessels will be Of great value to the
| navv
