WE MUST SAVE THE FORESTS
AND STORE THE FLOODS

Chicago, Nov 23.-The National Irri-
CATION Congress got down to business
yesterday. President Elwood Mead of
Wyoming presided.
Scipio Craig of California made a
motion +hat the motto of congress be
Save the forests and store the floods"
and that a committee on resolutions be
instructed to draft a memorial setting
forth the objects of the congress and
showing the Importance of the recla-
nation of the arid lands in the United
States and to report on Saturday.
On motion of Ex-Governor j. Brad
ford Prince of New Mexico committees
on credentials, organization, rules and
resolutions We're appointed, consisting
of men from each state and territory
represented. Captain Hiram NJ. Chit
tenden of the United States engineer
corps was then introduced and spoke
on Relations of the General Govern
ment to Reservoir Construction
He said in part: THE storage of the
waste flow OF its streams becomes an
Indispensable condition to the highest
development of the Western country.
1T is evident that Congress is not
unfavorably disposed toward the gov
ernment construction of reservoirs, but
Will be absolutely opposed to going
into the irrigation business. Here then
is one rock which we should try to
avoid lest it cause us shipwreck. The
reservoir question must be divorced
from the irrigation question so far as
active aid from the general govern
ment is concerned.
These two principles should be Civ
en- corporate form in the resolutions
which this association may present to
Congress in asking for government aid
in the construction of sfnraya racar
voirs.
''First-That the water so stored shall
be for the free use of the people, sub
Ject only to such laws and regulations
as may be in force in the states
through which they flow.
Second-That, in thus advocating
the construction of reservoirs by the
federal government to conserve the
waste waters of the arid regions. this
association disclaims any purpose of
drawing the government into a policy
of constructing irrigating works or of
enacting legislation for the control of
the waters used in irrigation, as in its
Judgment such matters should be left
exclusively 10 the states at present
And in proposing law for the ap-
preparation of money to build any res
ervoir, particularly the first which may
be built. 1t should contain the follow
ing provisos:
''First-That the water so stored
shall be for the free use of the people
and shall be released under regulations
to be established by the secretary of
war Tor interior. as the case may be-
'Second-That the waters so released
shall, after flowing off the government
reservoir property, become part OF
the stream in its neutral condition. and
be subject to the laws and regulations
OF the state or states through which
they flow.
Third-That the construction of this
reservoir, or of any other that may
hereafter be built, shall not In any
way commit the government to a pol
Icy of constructing irrigation works.
nor of controlling the distribution of
the waters which flow from such res
ervoirs.

DECISION STRIKES AT
IRRIGATION INTERESTS

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 23.-The Supreme
Court has rendered n decision which,
IL not reversed on n rehearing, will rob
the western portion of the state of all
hope of reclaiming arid lands by irriga-
tion. The opinion written by Chief JUS
tice Norval holds, in effect, that the
owner of property adjacent to a stream
has the right to its water undiminished
and undiverted. This is the old Eng
lish common law, and 1t was against
such ruling the irrigation companies of
the West were fighting.
The suit was one brought to the Su-
preme Court by the Crawford Irriga-
ton Company from Dawes county. 1t
had originally applied to the District
Court there for restraining order to
be issued against certain persons who
had threatened to destroy dams across
the White river belonging to the Craw-
ford company. The irrigation company

Delagoa Bay Award Paid.

London, Nov. 22.-The Delagoa Bay
railroad award was paid to-day.
The Delagoa Bay railroad award of
$3,O62,SOO, with interest at five per
cent. from June 25, 1880, is the result
OF the seizure of the Delagoa Bay rail-
road by Portugal. Besides the princi-
pal of the award and the interest, to-
falling about $5,OOO,OO0, Portugal paid
on account $4,000 in 1880. The
Americans interested are the heirs of
Colonel McNurdo, who, with a number
OF English capitalists, built the road
and ran it until it was seized by the
Portuguese officials.
