COURTS MUST DECIDE |
Questions of Interstate Water
Rights.
VERY LITTLE PROTECTION
The Bear River Controversy Three
States Involved - Il Is a Question
OF Vital Importance to the
West.



Washington, Oct. 27.-In report
just issued by the department of agri-
culture Joseph A. Breckons of the bu-
reau of experiment stations discusses
the question of interstate water rights
in very instructive and comprehen-
sive manner. He says: THE contro-
VERSES which already exist between
the water users of adjoining states are
many, and with the continuous in
crease in the use of water these con-
troversies bid fair to become so nu-
merous as to burden the courts with
their settlement. Controversies of this
nature now exist between citizens of
Wyoming and Nebraska, Wyoming
and Colorado, Wyoming and Utah,
Wyoming and Idaho, Wyoming and
Montana, Colorado and Kansas, Colo
RADIO and New Mexico. and in fact be
tween the citizens of all contiguous
states and territories in the irrigated
regions of the West. Many of the
states in controversy have appro-
priated funds to carry the matter into
the courts, and one, New Mexico, has
appointed a commission to investigate
the question of water supply for irrs-
cation purposes, with a view to pro-
tecting the interests of the irrlga,s-ls
OF New Mexico.
''One stream in controversy only Will
be discussed here, and that one has
been selected because it presents with
in itself examples of these controver-
sizes in concrete form. This is the Bear
river, a stream which rises in Utah,
crosses the southwest corner of Wyom-
ing, returns to Utah, returns again to
Wyoming, leaves Wyoming and enters
Idaho, where it makes an abrupt loop,
returning again to Utah, where it emp
ties into Great Sale Lake at a point
but little over 100 miles from it's source.
In all of the states traversed by
this stream the settlers along it's
course are drawing on common
source for water for irrigation pur-
poses; in all is recognized the doctrine
of the right to use of water by virtue
of prior appropriation, and the settlers
are calling upon their respective com
monwealths to protect that right. Yet,
because these rights have thus far
been left to the settlement of state
tribunals which only exercise jurisdc
ton within state boundaries and have
no influence beyond, over $50 distinct
appropriations one representing an
outlay of $1,000,000, are as absolutely
without specific regulation as if there
were no irrigation laws. And while
it is true that the courts may in time
be invoked in litigation, yet decision
regarding priorities across state lines
will not open headgates across state
lines when the stream rises enough to
give water for all or close them when
water is scarce. That needs an officer
with specific duties. 1t would be just
as easy to conduct a city water plant
without an engineer to run the pump

An unfortunate creature of the half

hour yesterday morning. She adopted
chloroform Is the means to remove
her from her life of sin and shame, and
was so determined on accomplishing
her purpose that after failing in first
attempt she made second, and this
time very nearly succeeded. Only the
drastic measures resorted to by the
physicians who were called prevented
the young woman from ushering her
self into the great beyond.
The wound be suicide is not more

family residing at Walkerville. and for
this reason her friends in misery, who
had not gone so far as to nave no
sense of shame left, refused to allow
her Christian name to become known.
TO all inquiries as to who the girl was
they would only reply, Her name is
Mabel" That was all they could be
induced to tell beyond their reason for
mot telling more, which was that her
people were respected citizens.
The girl has been journeying along
the downward path for some time.
For a while she was rustler at the
Casino theater, where as little could

few days ago she left the theater and

pleading with her to abandon her evil
ways, and her friend stated that this
letter gave her great deal of worry.
Then, day before yesterday, she met
her brother on the street and he open

very severe terms to her. This caused

night before last she got to drinking
and kept it up till along after mid

all her troubles.

Mrs. Phillips Robbed.

Mrs. Eva Phillips, who works in the
restaurant under the Butler house,
complained to the police lost night that
she had been robbed. She rooms in
the Bernard block. and while she was
at work some one entered the room and
stole 81 in cash and two rings. She says
that her room door was locked with a
Yale lock and she supposed that every
thing was secure in the room. She has
no suspicion as to the robber and can
not see how it was possible for any one
to get into the room. 1t is probable
that she is mistaken about her door
having been locked.

commissioners yesterday that he In

although he will probably admit that
a man would be apt to sober up there

missioners yesterday as saying that
he told Mcleod as soon as ne was

In accordance with the recent de-
cision of the supreme court holding
constitutional the law requiring coun-
ty commissioners to lay off the county
into road districts, the commissioners
yesterday adopted a resolution to the
effect that it would be to the best IN
terest of the county to havef but one
district, and created Road district No.
l, Neil O'Donnell was then appointed
road supervisor, to hold office until
his successor is elected. Commission
err Terrell voted against O'Donneli.
and in doing so he said that if 1t could
be done lawfully. the place should be
given to County Surveyor pennington,
who has had charge of the county road
work under the old law, and who was
doing some good work at a great saw
ing to the county. Commissioners
Clark and Matthews did not agree
with Mr. Ferrell however, and gave
the lob to O'Donnell. They also made
an order that MI. Pennington turn over
to the supervisor all the road machin-
cry now in his possession on or before
the first of November.
The county commissioners yesterday
made an order that the treasurer ac-
cept from c. w, Cannon the sum or

had been assessed at $4,000, whereas
the assessment should have been only
