Abiding to an editorial in the Iona
coming RecieJc last week the Cumber-
land Ne,rS says:
This character of advice two years ago,
given by disinerested party, might have
produced excellent results, saved a great deal
of fruitless expense, and averted great deal
of bad feeling. We hope that it is not too
late now, and congratu ate the Rrjcw for cX-
pressing very sensible view.
1t happens, however, that all the
advice was given to the twin-towns of
Westernport and Piedmont.
Which is why the Ne,rs regards it as
"a very sensible view"
About the same time word went out
from the twin towns that the cOun-
ellis Of each had appointed joint
committee to confer with the Cumber-
land authorities with Il view of helping
the latter to determine whether they
should not seek water elsewhere than
the Potomac, which, exclusive of the
pulp mill efliuent, is polluted beyond
regeneration.
But that proposal will not suit The
capitalists of Cumberland, who main
tain, in effect, that even tho Ugh good
water be accessible, the city is too
poor to 90 after il, especially too
poor 20 buy it, and, lastly, too poor to
keep it good.
Their idea of economy s-the twin
towns are able to lose all, "our own
withcrs must remain uuwrung.'
Hence. the good sense that is based
on the pretence of Cumberland's alb
sOlute ownership of the Potomac Is the
good sense of undluted selfshness.

DECISION IN PREWITT IRRIGATION DITCH CASE

bitches irrigating lands situate in
this state, and not elsewhere.
He then says: Such being our
conclusion, it is unnecessary, as we
have said, to pass upon the other
legal proposition pressed upon US.
l. e., can water be appropriated
by diversion in Colorado for use in
New Mexico.
The owners Of the Prewitt ditch
also maintained that under the
evidence they were entitled to a
larger quantity Of water than they
received for irrigating their Colorado
lands, and Chief Justice Campbell
says on this contention; The referee
who heard the witnesses testify,
recommended that to appellants
ditch there be awarded a priority Of
2I cubic feet per second of time,
which the court reduced to q cubic
feet We do not know why this
change was made. The appellees
maintain that the reduction was
made because the referees s awayd
was based largely # not altogether
upon the original carrying capacity
of the ditch. and the number of
acres Of land which it was intended
TO irrigate, and not upon the
of water That was actually
to a beneficial use. This
may have been the principle adopted
by the trial court, but so its conclu-
sion is not warranted. The evil
dence is SO indefinite that we do
not believe it practicable to deter
mine from 1.-THE quantity Of water
ditch should have. The
opinion, therefore, is m6di-
fed Id this particular only. The
cause is remanded, with instructions
to the district court to'procced upon
the evidence already before it. to-
gether with such additional evidence
as theparties may see fit to introduce
to ascertain and determine the
ol water TO which the
ditch IS entitled for tbe
benefit Of lands situate in Colorado.

The Pacific Reporter Of june 21,
1000, has just been received, says
late Durango Herald, and it
contains the decision ofthe supreme
court on what is know as the Prev
lit sditch, that takes water for
irrigation from the La Plata river
near Parrott City and carries the
water into New Mexio for the irri-
CATION of lands there. The case was
tried in the district court Of La Pata
county, and the owners OF thecther
bitches that irrigate land wholly
in Colorado contended that water
cannot be appropriated by diversion
in Colorado for use in New Mexico:
and also that the district court of
La Plata county under the irrigation
statutes has no jurisdiction to award
priorties to a ditch which, through
having it's headgate in Colorado,
was intended to, and does, carry
water outside of this state and into
the territory Of New Mexico for the
irrigation of lands there. Judge
Russell decided that his court had
not Jurisdiction to award a priority
to the Prewitt ditch for the irn-
CATION of New Mexico lands. but
only to the extent that the ap-
preparation was made for lands IN
Colorado and from this decision the
owners Of the Prewitt ditch appealed
to the supreame court of Colorado.
The case is known there as Lamson
et al. VS.. Wales ct al.
Chief Justice Campbell in his
decision says that this is a very
important question, and one which,
So far as we are advised, has not
been passed upon BY a court of last
resort !; and that the court below

STANDARD-BEARERS OF SILVER.

The platform adopted at Kansas
City denounces imperialism. con
demns the criminal trusts, favors
ultimate independence for the Fill
pinos, reafirms the Chicago plat
form and particularly the 10 to +
plank and expresses sympathy for
the Beers. On other and vital
issues it takes strong ground.
Bryan and Stevenson will carry
the Rocky mountain region with
a whoop and hurrah. The silver
states will none of them vote
against this ticket, any more than
they voted against Bryan III 1896.
New Mexico will go as does the
rest ofthe mountain country. Her
interests in the silver question are
incalculable. And besides this, the
Democratic platform promises state
hood to all the territories.
Bryan and Stevenson suit us.

What are they Worth?
Great Question with Apple Growers.
Second only 20 ''Nhat can We
Get for rhem9''

Second only 20 ''Whnt Can We
Get for rhem9''
No one can say what the price of apples
will be when apples are ripe, but the
fact that there are two or three repro
sentatives Of the larger fruit.buyine
housea Of the West now 10 the county,
serves as an indication that the demand
for them lie quite good at this time.
The fruit buyers offer cash prices for
the fruit in the orchards. and their
pgenis attend TO the packing OF the
same This gives the ranchnen sure
thing Of getting something, though the
prices offered in this way sometimes
peem low. But when one reflects that
the responsibility Of the grower ends
with the delivery to the shipper either
10 the orchard or as we believe Is the
rule this year, at the railroad depot, it Is
easy to see that a low price under these
conditions ia as good as a little better
one, when the risks are all taken by the
grower.
As for the commission men in Du-
range, while there are some exceptions,
the experience Of past years demon
strates that they are not responsible, not
successful in getting good returns, and,
to put the plain truth in a plain way,
not always honest The kick against
them ia long and loud all along the val
leys. Where there is 90 much smoke. it
seems certain there must be some FIRE.
The whole county remembers how
some Of our extensive fruit growers IN.
fortunately got left on the crop OF 1897
how they had the biggest yield in his
tory, got it to the railroad at heavy ez-
pense, we're offered eighty cents to Q
dollar per box but wanted dollar and
hale or two dollars, and how they held
the apples until spring sorted them oyer
once or twice and then sold them foi
half what they had refused. The only
lesson in this experience is that, whether
you sell to commission men or agents OF
directly to retailers don't wait for fam
inc prices but under ordinary circum
stances turn them off at the best that
can be gotten at the time Of packing OF
shipment to the railroad. And remem
Der that the commission men who wanf

or after are usually out for the best enc
Of the bargain.
