Judge Hazen had a hard struggle to
keep from laughing throughout the
hearing of the Haus divorce case this
morning. A smile played continually
over his lips as he listened to the inno-

George Haus told of his wife, Susan
daus, buying one loaf too much of bread
as though it were the worst kind of ex-
treme cruelty.

almost without interruption.

The Richie Case.
The old case of the Richie heirs
against the Missouri Pacific railroad, the
litigation over the ground occupied by
the Missouri Pacific depot, was renewed
today John Richie obtained judgment
against the company in the supreme
court on the ground tnat the company
had not lived up to its agreement.
Since then the corporation has changed
its name to the Kansas q Colorado Pa
cific. It claims that the old organization
is dead and has now begun action in
the district court to have the judgment
against it set aside. The corpora
TONS attorneys claim that inasmuch as
no revivor of judgment was taken
against the new company within year,
it is therefore dead and void.
At the close of the arguments and
written evidence introduced Judge
Hazen took the case under advisement.
| During the hearing of this case the
court adjourned to the probate judges
office to allow the POpulist convention
to meet in the court room.
In the case of Mechanics Saving bank
VS.. Charles A. Goodwin, suing on mort
gage of $4,000, judgment was given

WRIGHT ON The DECISION,
Author of the Irrigation Act
Speaks on Judge Ross
Opinion.
OTHER SECURITIES IN DANGER
He Claims That Town and City
Bonds Are Invalid Under
the Decision.

c. c. Wright of Modesto, the author of
the irrigation act which Judge Ross has de-
clared unconstitutional arrived here yes
terday. Mr.. Wright was q member of the
Assembly in 1887 when the law was passed,
and has been deeply interested in it ever
since. He went to Washington to argue
the case of the Modesto Irrigation District
VS.. Negea, now before the Supreme Court
of the United States.
Last evening at the Lick House he was
asked his views on the decision and said |:
I'VE were all very much astonished at the
decision. Judge Ross takes the broad
ground that water for irrigation purposes
is not a public use. 1t is not now ques-
ton of maintaining the district law. 1t is
simply question whether the people will
acquiesce IN the doctrine that the use of
water for irrigation is not public use. Ii
allowed to stand the public could in no
capacity ever exercise the right to use
water for irrigation.
tAnother effect of the decision would
be not only to invalidate the irrigation
district bonds but also all the town or city
bonds where the town or city was incor-
porated under the general statutes. He
holds that no opportunity is given prop
erty- y-owners to test the sufficiency of the
petition presented to the Board of Super
visors for the organization of an irrigation
district, and that this deprives them of
property without due process of law. A
petition for the organization of a town or
city under the general statute is presented
and heard under procedure identical
with that for petition for the organiza-
ton of an irrigation district. So if the
district law be invalid for this reason, so is
the municipal corporation act. There are
probably as many bonds outstanding
issued by towns and cities as by irrigation
districts. So the decision would result in
very great disaster outside of mere irriga-
tion securities.
Mr.. Wright expressed the opinion tina t
the decision would be reversed by the Su-
preme Court. ''If the decision should
to irrigation by the public" he said. 1.-The
| ultimate result would be that the land
| owner would have to buy water as he
| would merchandise at such prices as would
| give such profit to the seller as he may
choose to make. To illustrate the great
difference it would make to the land
owner, will give an example. A private
corporation has constructed a canal on the
north side of the Stanislaus River to fur
nish water for irrigation. They charge for
a water-right $40 per acre, and in addition
charge an annual rental of 81 80 per acre.
The cost OF water for twenty years would
| be $40 per acre, to say nothing OF interest
on the sums paid.
Compare that with the Upton irriga-
ton district, where the original cost of the
works was less than $5 per acre, and the
cost of maintenance less than 90 cents per
acre. Other districts would show similar
great advantages over the private owner
ship of water for irrigation"
