That Meat Insnection order.

Acting Collector of Customs Jerome received
. telegram from the Secretary of Agriculture
yesterday, modifying the order recently issued
relatlve 10 export meats, so as to make it effect
i've on October 16 instead of September 16.
Inc inference from this is that there has not
yet been any inspector appointed for this dis
trict by the Agricultural Department to certify
TO the meats, ana months more time will
allow for such an appointment to be made.

February, and that she was past the 1sOth
meridian during May, June and July.
Before passing the 180th meridian she took
in 232 sealskins. Matters are also some
what complicated by her having trans
ferred ITO skins to the tug Hercules.
At the Custom-house it was learned that
before starting out last December Captain
Frank Johnson asked for special license,
but was informed there was none to be
had.
Only two out of fifteen seaIers took out
the required licenses, viz, the Emma and
Louisa and the Rather. The thirteen
which did not were the Winchester, Bow

THE WINCHESTER CASE.
Some Doubt as to the Ability of the
Government to Confiscate
Her.

Among the Federal officials there is some
doubt as to the probable success of the
confiscation proceedings just begun by
United States District Attorney Foote
There is quite difference between the
case against her and that against the
Sophie Sutherland. The latter was
charged with sealing in prohibited waters
during the close season. The Winchester,
on the other hand, shows. by her record
that when she was catching seals in pro-
hibited waters it was during January and

Over Irrigation.

The effect of over-irrigation is
noticed for many years. says a
writer for the st. Louis Press.
Land fertility is DESTROYED, and the
waste is noticed for years after too
much water is applied. The value
and fertility of land depreciates
with what men regard as apparent
care in irrigation. One year Of
over irrigation destroys the fer
tility Of land for at least six sue
Mesa free press., 1895-11-29

cessive seasons of rest. The so
OF land that is irrigated too much
can easily be destroyed by careless
handling after irrigation ceases
When land is broken the excessi 'e
moisture escapes oy the process of
capillary attraction, the particles of
soil held by moisture separates and
fertility is restored.
Over-irrigation destroys the
value of an entire farm, though
only one field receives too much
water. A marshy tract is worth
less, and it's adjoinings are consld-
cred of little value. The dangers
Of miasnatic diseases are increased
in proportion to the amount OF
s:agnant water. Flies and other
insects that work upon horses,
cattle and humanity are nurtured
in the swampy field. The health
of the inhabitants in the vacinity
is threatened, and frequently des-
troyed. AS sanitary agrnt lrrl-
cation, when properly applied, Is
almost without VALUE, but when
carried to excess ls a detriment In
civilization. No farmer should try
to use too much water on any crop
Pour OH the moisture very sparlng-
ly, and your crops will be better,
the yield more abundant, and OF
superior quality, and your land will
increase in value with each success

Water For Power Uses.

Oae Of the most celebrated c.ses
that has ever come before the
courts OF Arizona has b4en that OF
Austin against Chandler, or as 1T
might more properly be stated the
Tempe Canal Company against the
Mesa Consolidated Canal Company
The plaintiffs sought to enjoin de-
PENDANTS from delivering to them
their quota of the valleys water
supply, the Mesa company having
constructed for such purpose large
canal. The interest of the Mesa
company largely lay in the fact that
by such delivery a magnificent
water power was gained. The IN
junction was granted by Judge
Baker in the District Court. On
appeal the case was reversed and
the decision has just been handed
down. It's full text is below given:
La the Supreme Court, Territory
Of Arizona. Austin, ct al. VS.
Chandler and the Consolidated
Canal Company on appeal from
Marlcopa County.
Klbbey q Williams, attorneys Tor
plaintiffs; G F. Ainsworth and }
D. Pope, attorneys for defendants.
Bethune, A. J. The plaintiffs
who are the appellees here are the
prior appropriators and users, as
between themselves and appellants,
of certain water of the Salt river,
and nduct their water through
what is known as the Tempe canal
to the various points of use.
Their appropriation and use of
said water for the purpose OF irrl-
CATION and turning grist mill
known as Hayden's mill.
Appellants having appropriated
and otherwise secured the use OF
water from the river, subsequent to
the appropriation of appellees, at
a point in the river several miles
above the point of division Of ap-
peIlees. for the purpose, among
other things, of "creating, general
ing, and perpetuating for public
and private use a water power OF
not less than 500 horse power"
now seek to mingle the waters OF
the appellees with their own and
run it through their canal over a
precipice having a fall of forty or
fifty feet where the power plant is
located and deliver it back to ap-
pellees'' at a point.in appellees' ditch
above any place of use by appellees,
and were SO actually rnnning and
delivering said water when; this
etion was commenced.
An injunction was issued by the
over court, and, upon the fnal
hearing of the case, made perpetual,
restraining appellants from inter
ering with the water of appellees
except to use it for mechanical pur
poses: provided, that said water
should, after such use be returned
10y appellants to the natural
channel of the river above the
mouth of appellees' ditch.
This requirement so far as we
re aware, is in strict conformity
with the provisions of the common
law.
At common law probably no such
thing as an irrigating ditch was
known. Under it's provision the
usufruc, is the only extent of a
claim on water. The maxim eva
ter should and by right ought to
flow where it has been accustomed
to flow" expresses the spirit of the

plication whatever to the use OF
w tier with.us. Not even the COM
mon law doctrin. of a riparian
right IS acknowledged by U.S. but Is
expressly repudiatad by paragraph
3l9S R S.
So the common law can furnish
no criterion for the use of water
under the system Of the use OF wa
ter in this territory. It seems to
be admitted that there could be no
objection to the use by subsequent
appaopriator Of the waters OF a
sire I'm already appropriated. sho1d
the watertbe returned uninjured to
the channel above the point of dl-
version of the prior appropriation.
But as we have seen, this rule
springs from the common law which
as already stated has no applica-
5ion in regulating our water rights.
We cannot perceive any reason
why under our system Of the u,e
of water a person entitled to the
use Of certain quantity of it shp'd
receive it at one place instead of
another provided his rights are In
no way affected or curtailed.
The apprlless claim a certain
quantity of water for the irriga-
tion of their;lands and to run Hay
den's mill; if they get it why sho'd
the manner in which sthey get it
matter to them especially when one
NAV add useless burdens upon the
exercise of the sabsolutes rights OF
he appellants, and either way wo'd
equally subserve the rights of ap-
pellees :!
In our view Of the case no rights
Of appellees are invaded by reason
Of the delivery of the water claim
ed by them into their ditch above,
the point of use byithem. The ev-
idence fails to show that any dam
age has accrued or will accrue to
them by havingstheir water dellv-
cred to them at the spolnt appel
lants were delivering it at the com
mencement of this action, or, that
their remedies against appellants
for a failure to so deliver the guam
t,ty of water to which appellees
are entitled, or for any damage
otherwise suffered, would be in any
manner different from those appel
lees would have should appellants
be required to deliver the. proper
quantity back into the channel OF
the river.
We are of the opinion that the
anpellants were exercising an ab-
solu5e right in the use of the water
Of course subject to any penalty
they may incur by the use OF such
right.
Wetherefore Go not think this is
proper case for an injunction, but
that the appellees have ample modes
Of redress at law for any demages
which may be occasionedl by any
improper action of appellants In
the use of the water or in deliver
ing it back to appellees.
The Judgment of the lower court
is reversed and the cause remanded
for new trial.

Centennial Day is here, and Oh,
mamma! How it was ushered in at
midnight last night Figuratively
speaking, the town was torn wide
open. There never was such shooting
and noise since the long to be remem-
bered Fourth Of July Of rs, and last
night was almost equal to that memoir
able event
As early as ten o'clock the fun began,
and it was kept up at a lively rate un-
I'll morning. The climax was reached,
however, when the midnight hour was
proclaimed by the City Hall clock.
Then pandemonium reigned and so did
fireworks Of every description. Can
mons cracked, whistles blew, bells rang
and the whole valley from Martins
Ferry to Bellaire joined in the general
din. The streets We're lfned with pe0-
pie until one o'clock, and Market
street, from Tenth street to the creek,
was blaze of shooting rockets, TO-
man candles, flower pots and dynamite
crackers. Little Tip" was hauled up
on Wheeling hill and did nObly in
awakening the echoes, and il kept it
up fer quite a while, too Every fac
tory whistle in town was left wide open
and mingled with the changing bells.
The result can be better imagined than
described.
1t was a grand reception to Centen-
NAL Day, and one that will never be
forgotten by the smallest child.
