WILL DEFEND COLORADO'S
WATER RIGHTS in WASHINGTON

Denver, Colo. May 6.-Attorney Cen
eial Charles c. Post has gone to Wash
ington, ID. G.. to represent the state of
Colorado before the Supreme Court of
the United States May 18th, when the
state Of Kansas will file motion for
leave to file a suit in equity against
blorado to prevent the diversion Of
1the waters of the Arkansas river.
The attorney general will file the pc
titlon of the state of Colorado for
leave to file brief against the motion
OF the state of Kansas. In this petit
tion Is traced the history Of the terri
tory from the time OF the Louisiana
. purchase and the organization OF the
Serritory of Kansas In 1854. It Is set
forth that by reason Of prior settle
ment and occupation, people living
along that part of the Arkansas river
now embraced within the limits of the
state Of Colorado acquired rights to
the waters of the river The court is
asked to adjudicate these rights with
out making these residents of Colorado
parties to the bill Other points in the
motion are:
The state Of Kansas owns but a small
part of the land in the Arkansas val
ley and that other owners are not par
ties to the bill. The stream is not navi-
; gable and greater riparian rights can
not be maintained. The state Of Kan
sas seeks to enjoin the legislation of
Congress enacted to promote the set
tlement and development of United
States lands in Colorado. The decision
asked for would abrogate state legisla-
tion Of Kansas in regard to irrigation.
A favorable decision on the bill would
be to enjoin Colorado from exercising
her functions of statehood. State SOW
ereignty cannot be enforced to protect
riparian rights The brief says:

complainant, having in view its own
necessities, has passed laws abrogating

rights. This has been expressly ap-
proved by this court in the case Of the
United States against the Rio Grande
Irrigation Company. The court has ex-
amined the rule of the common law,
which provides that every riparian
owner is entitled to the continuous
natural flow of the stream, and has
stated that every state has the power
within its dominion to change the rule
and to permit the appropriation Of the
flowing waters for such purpose as 1t
deems wise.
For at least thirty-five years these
rights have been enjoyed in Colorado,
and property of enormous value has
been acquired. Now comes an appli-
cation for the decree of the court,
which, In effect, shall declare that peo-
pie mot before this court, must forego
the right to their usual pursuits and
usual business, and permit their prop
erty to become absolutely destroyed
and the lands that have been cultivat-
ed for years to return to their desert
character
Theb rief goes on to say that in case
the people refuse to obey, the state
cannot coerce the settlers without q
nullification of its own laws, and in a
matter where these settlers have never
been heard, or had their rights adjudi-
Gated, the state would in the peculiar

BY January list the Rock Island ex-
poets to be able to open for business
its southwestern extension to FL paso,
Texas. This line, in connection with
the Southern Pacific and the Mexican
Central railroads. will give the Rock
Island the shortest line both 10 south
ern California and the City of Mexico
and make 1t dangerous competitor of
the Santa Fe. 1t took Just one year to
construct the 516 miles of the new ex-
tension from Liberal, Kansas, to El
Paso, Texas For the purpose of com
plying with the Texas law that every
railroad within that state shall have
state operating headquarters, and also
for general construction facilities and
convenience, the new road was placed
under the charters of five different
railroad corporations, viz: The Chica-
go, Rock Island Il Pacific proper: the
Chicago, Rock Island Il Mexico; the
Chicago. Rock Island 4 I'll Paso; the
Rock Island & I'll paso. and the El
Paso II Northeastern. The road from
Liberal to Santa Rosa, New Mexico. II
distance of 2T2 miles was placed un-
der direct Rock Island construction,
with j, ii. Conlcn, vice president of the
Chicago, Rock Island x Mexico, as
chief engineer and general manager,
while from Santa Rosa to Carrizozo, Il
distance of 1870 miles the construction
work was given to the FL paso Il
Northeastern, which already had II
constructed line from III pasO to Car

heavy domestic custom in that section

route of 222 miles shorter between
Kansas City and El Paso than that of
the Santa Fc between the same points,
together with saving of fifteen hours
of time. the latter fact being largely
due to the favorable alignment and

FOR EPIovREs TO READ,
Add to Your knowledge of the Tempting
OYSTER.


This being the oyster season all in
formation concerning that sea animal
known 10 the illiterate as the luscious
bivalve" is in order. We know that
oysters sometimes give peorle typhoid
fever, taste strongly of oil IL scooped
up In the Staten Island Kills, are
whitened and fattened for the New
York market by being kept in fresh
water and fed on corn meal; that their
flavor is spoiled by the process and, in
short. a lot of things about them which
were, perhaps, Just as well that We did
not know. At present discussion is
going on as to how long an oyster lives
provided he Is let live. Prof. Mobius,
a German authority on the subject,
says that the Schleswig oysters which
they eat in North Germany are from
seven to ten years old when they come
into the market, and he has seen some
which were between twenty-five and
thirty years old, though he acknowl-
edges that oysters even twenty-five
years old are rare. Bertram in his
Harvest Of the Sea" says that an
oyster is in It's prime when 1t is five
years old. Prof. S. p. Woodward as
serts that an oyster on artificial
ground does not arrive at maturity I'M
til 1t is between five and seven years
old, but those grown in natural beds
mature at the age Of four. 1t Is be-
lieved that an oyster. left to Its nat
ural chances, would be likely to arrive
at an extreme old age. Fossil oyster
shells have been found which were
nine inches thick, from which 1t is
computed that the oyster must have
been more than hundred years old
at the time of its death. The age Of
an oyster is determined by the outside
of its shell, the successive layers or
plates overlapping each other, mark
Ing years growth each. Up to the
time of the oysters maturity these

are regular, but after that period they
become irregular and are piled one
over the other so that the shell be-
comes more thickened and bulky and
the age marks more confused.-New
