The question Of the rights Of an irri.
cation company 10 claim water In
tributary stream that cmptics into
river above it, own intake came up
for final adjudication Ia the supreme
court Of Colorado this week Ia the
cause Of the Farmers Independent
Ditch company, versus the Apricultur-
al Ditch company, says Field and
Farm, and Judge llayt handed down
an opinion, holding that the absence of
particulars does not warrant the
ground OF appeal and the case was re.
handed TO the district court Of Jcficr-
son county with instructions TO require
defendants TO plead further to the
original complaint. The plaintiff com
pany must also specify In what partic-
ulnr is patrons have been blurred and
II Is ON this simple little point Of law
that the supreme court rcmands the
cause. In propoundinR a lot OF wisdom
ON this case Judge llayt said;
u"First-That NO mere diversion OF
water from stream can constitute
the appropriation, recognized by con
stitution aud the statutes; 10 make II
such there must be an actual applica'
tion of the water 10 beneficial use,
and in the ease Of irrigation It must be
actually applied TO the land TO make
the appropriation complete.

pose Of conveying water from the nat.
ural streams TO places where II may

neutrality-suspicious. of water

upon the time of the several appropra.
tions.
"Fourth--That corporation own.

decree is binding upon all parties 10
the proceeding.
From what we can gain from this
ease the real point was 10 decide the
offices Of the district superintendent
OF irrigation In shutting down head.
gates Of his entire district regardless
Of priorities In conflicting water
courses and the court holds that the
act of 1857, providing Tor the appoint
ment of said superintendent OF irriga-
tion and prescribing his duties, Is con
stitutional. The district courts Of
jefferson and Arapahoe counties held
that the law was invalid. The super.
intendent claimed he had u right TO
shut down bitches where he deemed
proper. The effect Of the decision IL
10 place all the bitches In one district
under the same management and from
this we are led 10 infer that the super.
intendent Is the man Of unquestioned
authority In apportioning water.

IL think that In the future irrigation

that the spaces Of upland between such

stock should belong 10 the settlers
who till the nearest land. In certain

To My Unknown Correspondents

This is an age of letter writing,
and it is your privilege to write as
many letters as you desire and TO
send them to whom you please,
provided you do not encroach on
the privilege of some one else.
But some OF your letters are
very Disappointing. Take an ex-
ample: ! go to the office, letter
is handed me-one of those large
full letters which suggests friend
ship and good news. The hand
writing is strange I say, proba
bly, some distant relative, and then
l remember that there was a bach
elor uncle who had become very
rich, but whom we had lost track
of, and it is barely possible that he
has traced cut his nephew and
read from the now open letter:
"My dear sir: Not wishing to
write to a real estate agent, know
ing their proclivities, and under
standing that you are resident Of
! X, wish to ask you few ques-
tons as am thinking Of going to
Florida, namely: Is it a healthy
country? What is the price of
living? Is there good business
opening in your town. Can my
daughter get place as teacher
in the public school there? etc.
Will you be so kind as to look
these matters up for me?"
Of course 1 am perfectly willing
to take day eff and look these
matters up for you and choke
down the disappointment about
uncle's letter, but there was one
little matter that you forget, of
course you forgot it, stamp or
two, just to pay the cost of sta
tionery and tax for transmission of
the answer.
You say that stamp is such a
little matter to speak Of, and judge
me very close. But you are mis-
taken about that. l am really a
generous sort of a fellow, but my
small income will not keepup with
my generosity. You see there are
so many of you and you are all SC
forgetful that after awhile you
turn against you even

One alderman from each ward is

Cured in each ward except the
third where u. r. Waterman has
it all his own way. The vote on
