A decision Of long.standing interest to
residents Of the La Plata valley is re-
ported by the Durango Democrat Of
Wednesday The decision afirms the
decree Of the lower court, the Democrat
saying:
The Supreme Court Monday affirmed
the case Of Lamson ct al, appellants, vs.
w. IT, Wales et al, appelleea.
This was an appeal from the decision
Of Judge Russell in the adjudication Of
water rights on the La Plata river, and
involved the right OF the La Plata ditch
10 take out water Ia Colorado and use it
for irrigation in New Mexico to the detri.
ment OF landg ia Colorado.
This case is one Of first impression 10
any court OF last resort in the United
States.
Judge Russell held he had no right to
allow any water for use Ia New Mexico,
Oral arguments we're made 10 the Sd
preme Court last month by Mr.. Denison
and Mr. McCloskey.
S. w. Carpenter, B. w Ritter and
Talbot, Denison & Wadley appeared for

Are La Plata county, Colorado,
and San Juan county, New Mexico,
about to lock horns over the ques-
ton of assessment of taxes on the
festive steer, the demure heifer, the
bleating sheep, the pugnacious
billy-goat and other range stock?
An agreement made by the two
counties ten years ago has been a
dividend-yielding proposition for
La Plata, while San Juan county
has turned up shy in the matter of
emoluments and a few Of the stock
owners appear to have successfully
played both ends against the
middle" Such at least is the state
ment of the case by those who are
familiar with all the facts.
In order to avoid taxes, it is
asserted that some stock owners
have regularly gone to La Plata
county, whose assessors have
usually been the most wide awake,
using the provisions of the agree
ment that the taxes should be paid
half in one county and half in the
other as exemption on one-half of
the amount to start with. Then,
after paying the La Plata portion,
they have managed to stand Off
San Juan county on the theory that
all taxes had been paid in Colorado.
Our officers are now making efforts
to obtain from Colorado owners as
we'll as others this county's proper
share of the range stock taxes, and
La Plata county doesn't like it over
much, Judging by this outcry raised
by the Durango Herald:
Some eight or niue years ago an agree
ment was made with San Juan county
N. NJ, regarding the taxes on rang
stock. Ia winter the herds OF cattl;

owners Craze in La Plata. II was agreed
that the stockmen or parties paying tax
es on stock in the counties where the,
resided, be taxed equally in each cOun
ty. This was observed for a time bu
lately San Juan county has collected tn
entire tax OF San Juan county owner
and has also claimed taxes on stoc
owned by La PlIta county men. II thi
policy is insisted on or pursued the L
