. 1t is not the capacity Of a stream to

J. The power to control and regulate the
use of water not navigable, exercised by
states and territories in the arid west was
confirmed by congress by the act of 1856
and that power now resides wholly i'm such
states and territories under the act of 1877

of any act Of congress even though the
