TENIHODSANDDO[LARS.
Is the Amount Being Raised
For Irrigation Case.
SUIT CAN BE MAINTAINED
Attorney J. D. Houston So
Decides.

Attorney J. D. Houston has returned
| from his trip 10 Denver and the west,
where he went in the interest of the big
| irrigation suit that is to be brought
against the Colorado Ditch companies
that have been instrumental in turning
| the Arkansas river into dry sand bed.
a company CT wealthy farmers, headed
by Representative Rutledge and c. Old
| father, conceived the idea of bringing
such a suit and sent Mr.. Houston TO
Denver to look the matter up. Mr.. Hous-
tons standing as an attorney and the
connection Of his name in newspaper
kilograms excited much interest in the
case, and he had hardly got registered at
| MS hotel after arriving, when q number
of newspaper and legal gentlemen called
upon him to know what the plan of his
fight was TO be.
After a thorough canvass OF the situa-
ton he determined that suit could be
brought and maintained and has notified
the company of farmers OF the result OF
his trop. 1t viii take $4,000 TO prosecute
anticipated at first, as much of the de-
scriptlve and statistical matter Mr..
Houston expected to have to gather has
been done by the state OF Colorado in
what is known as the Department of
Irrigation. Mr.. Houston says the bitches
begin to tap the river at Canon City and
follow up closely till the last one just
finished week or two ago is just be-
yond the state line. These bitches take
more water from the river, not including
the last one. than the estimated volume
that flows past Canon City. There is no
chance for water to come down the riv-
er into Kansas, for the last ditch built
will be used to catch whatever water
gets past the others and carry it to a
big reservoir built to hold one hundred
and fifty million barrels of water for
sale. Havemeyer, the great sugar deal
er, is interested in this ditch, as we'll as
a great many others. The land and the
water is for sale. You buy the land and
the contract for water, which is stored
there as fast as it runs down past the
other bitches.
The capacity OF the canals is great
enough 10 take twice as much water out
of the river as Games down it in ordin-
ary run, which precludes any proba-
bility of Kansas farmers getting any
water from the river in the future
The suit will be one of national i'm
portance. The company farmers is now
raising the fund to prosecute the mat
ter up TO the highest court in the country
Mr.. Houston says that the Colorado
people have been expecting some such
suit for years. The interests to be op-
posed in the case amount 20 millions in
magnitude. and it is not probable that
the case win be at all settled short of
the supreme court.
