CONCLUSIONS.

feet of water passing a given point
Der SECOND
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-12-24

The first conclusion was that the
statute of limitations had run-that is,
the Riverdale people had acquired i
right by reason of continuous and I'M
disputed usage, if by no other means.
The Riverdale people had no need to
enlarge their headgate in 1877, in order
to acquire the right to the water for
merly going down the Graham ditch.
All they needed was to enlarge the
main ditch. The judge holds that, ac-
cording to evidence, not more than 1857
feet OF water was turned into the Cen
trail canal in August last, and that
there was no unreasonable waste of
water by such diversion.
Furthermore, the irrigation needs of
lands are not determined by the mere
fact that the crops did not die, nor even
that they did not appear to have suf-
fered. The rights of the use of water,
when once appropriated, extends to the
reasonable use of water. There was,
Furthermore, no testimony showing how
close the RiVerdale lands were to the
river, and whether the plaintiffs actu-
ally lost anything by reason OF the
waters being taken to a more distant
channel. The plaintiffs had contended
that they lost the usual amount of per-
collation.. The judge emphasizes the
principle that a, water right once eStab-
lished entities the owner to use the
water as any other commodity; that
he is not restricted to use it in irrigat-
ing his crops and to yield to a second
airy claimant if it develops that the
first owner does not need the amount
continually.
In conclusion, the judge states:
SCOPE OF OPINION.
from the whole testimony, I conre
to the conclusion that the Riverdale
company did not divert to the Central
caral more water than they were en-
titled TO use in the Riverdale ditch:
that as to that amount they had a
right to change the point of diversion,
SO as to irrigate any other land, even
though not their own, so long as no
unreasonable waste was occasioned
thereby; and that such change was no
injury to plaintiffs, and judgment for
the defendants as against the plaintiffs
for 1857 cubic feet of water may be
catered

Prince Henri dOrleans and the Count
Of Turin have met on the field of honor.
As the result the fiery Italian now has
a scratch across his right hand, not
quite skin deep, and the Prince has a
cash In his undershirt and trifiing slit
in his side, deep enough to draw blood
but not deep enough to cause any per.
sonal Inconvenience beyond cessa'
ton of the pastime. But honor has
been satisfied. The seconds say SO and
they ought to know. Besides the prin-
cipals have shaken hands and sworn
eternal friendship. The Count has
gone back to Italy; the job lot of chal-
lenges sent to Henri has been recalled;
the bloodshed is off; the whole thing is
settled. Neither man was hurt; but
the actual losses were heavier than
usual. In the third encounter the
Princes sword point struck a button
on the Counts trousers and smashed it.
This will have to be replaced. The
Count temporarily Is using a shingle
nail to counterbalance his loss, but of
course this cannot be accepted as fair
substitute. The cash in the Princes
undershirt must be sewed up and the
expense will have to be borne by his
friends. Princes, it must be remem-
bered, always are long on honor and
extremely short on cash.

The son Of Composer Wagner, who
until lately has not been considered as
particularly enthusiastic in the cult OF
his fathers works, has suddenly be-
come more so than the most fanatic OF
the partisans, and in European dis
patches he is reported as having made
violent attack upon his countrymen
for not taking hvelier interest in the
performances at Bayreuth. He says
that the English and Americans are far
better supporters of Magnetism than
the Germans themselves, and he adds
sting to this by saying that the
French have always been our most
jealous adherents." This is the I'M
thinking fanaticism Of late proselyte.

The reports Of the Board Of Health.
showing the number of deaths In Chi
cago and their causes, give some GU
rious facts relating to suicide, which
are made known with such astonishing
frequency in the newspapers, although
1t Is only such as are attended with
peculiar circumstances that find their
way into print. The average number of
suicides is very uniform through the
year, being about twenty-eight and a
fraction each month, and while the
number varies somewhat, one month
with another, there does not seem to
be one month, or set Of months, when
the number largely predominates that
of the corresponding period Of another
year. In July, 1896, the number Of sui
cides was twenty-six and in the same
month Of 1897 1t was forty-two. In
June, '96, thirty-nine persons took their
lives, and In the same month Of '97
thirty-three committed suicide. Two of
the peculiar things shown by the re-
ports are the very small number Of ma
tives of the city who seek violent
deaths. Less than one-haf Of the sui
cides in Chicago are Of American birth,
and 1t is rare indeed that one Of them is
q native-born resident. For the first
six months of 1896 no native of the
municipality Is reported among the sui
cides, while fifty-six were Americans
and 120 were foreign born. The Daily
News says it is probable that many of
these foreign-born residents bring with
them to this country the common ideas
regarding suicide that obtain in their
native land, for suicide is more fire.
quent in some European countries than
1t is here; and the classes most likely to
resort to it make up the large body of
immigrants to America. As rule
Americans are better educated, better
housed, clothed and fed than the i'm
migrants; they are not so easily de-
pressed and they have better associa-
lions. The discouragements that lead
to self-destruction are less frequent
among Americans than with the foreign
inhabitants, while there is a stronger
spirit Of determination among Ameri-
cans than any other people in the world.
Hence suicide Is not generally regarded
by them as a remedy that Is worth the
trial
