Tie protest of the Laguna Ditch
Company against the sale of state
reservoir site on the line between Bent
and OterO counties to the Fort Lyons
Ditch Company was heard October 9TH
by the state land board. The state
owns n natural site covering about 100
acres northwest of Las Animas. Ap-
plication was made for the lease by
the Fort Lyons company some time
ago and it was then granted, but on
protest of j. 4. Holbrook of the La
guna company the lease was not
signed. The Fort Lyons people wish
the reservoir site MS an accessory to
their ditch. which traverses the coun-
try south and east of the site. The
state owns about 10000 acres Of farm
ing land west of the reservoir site, and
the protests of Mr.. Holbrook are made
on the theory of public policy. He
holds that IL the reservoir site Is re-
tained by the state that through the
statutes of 1897 the state will be able
to get an amount of water equal to
that stored in the reservoir. and with
1t irrigate enough of the 10000 acres
to make the profits from the sale of
the land several times in excess of
that from the sale of the reservoir site.

Dubbs. The defendant states, In sub
stance. the following causes of demur-
rer to the bill of complaint: That the
Supreme Court has no Jurisdiction, be-
cause the allegations arise between
the state Of Kansas and certain private
corporations and certain persons In
Colorado; because the suit is brought
by certain individuals living In Kan
sas on the banks of the Arkansas;
that Kansas. in her sovereignty right.
which she has no right to do. seeks re.
dress OF supposed wrongs of citizens;
that the bill does not show that prop
erty rights of the state of Kansas are
in any manner affected by the allega-
tiOns: that the acts complained of are
not done by the state of Colorado or
under It's authority, but by certain pri-
vate corporations and individuals;
that the bill is multifarious; because
the injuries and acts complained of
consist Of the exercise Of rights and
the appropriation OF water upon the
national domain In conformity with
acts of Congress: because the cOnsti-
tuition of Colorado declaring public
property waters of its natural streams
and sancti0ning the right of appropria-
tion was enacted pursuant to national
