COLORADO DECISION
IN WATER CASE.

In the case of the New Cache la Pou-
Dire Irrigation company, appellant, VS..
the Water Supply and Storage COM
pany, appellee, from the district court
of Larimer county, involving the right
to divert waters without notifying par
ties who might be injured thereby. the
court is the first tribunal in the state
to pass upon the irrigation act of 1899,
says the Denver News.
Section l of the act holds that when
a person desires to change the point Of
diversion of his right to use water
from any stream, he must first present
to the district court from which the
original decree was issued, praying
that such change may be granted him.
The practice and procedure on the
hearing shall be the same as if the pc
tition were for an original decree. The
court shall require proof that all par,
ties who may be affected by such
change have been duly notified of the
proceeding. Then the court shall hear
evidence to determine whether or not
such change will injuriously affect the
vested rights of others in and to the
use Of the water.
II the court shall find that such
change will not injuriously affect the
rights Of others, a decree shall be en-
tered allowing said party to make such
change.
In this instance the storage com
pany neglected to carry out the pro
visions Of that section, and the irriga
ton company wins its case before the
supreme court. the decision Of the low
err court being reversed. Opinion by
Chief Justice Campbell.

FORMER PRESIDENT WANTS
POSITION IN COLORADO.

Rev. A. A. Johnson, formerly presi-
dent of the University of Wyoming, is
a candidate for president of the Colo
RADIO school of mines, and the Denver
Republican of Monday said of him:
Mr.. johnson is making an open and
active canvass. He has secured the
backing of several Democratic politi.
clans, and his appointment will be
urged upon Gov. Orman, who will be
asked to bring pressure to bear to
get the board Of trustees to select him.
Mr.Johnson's chief recommendation as
an educator comes from the fact that
he was once president of the State
University Of Wyoming, and was
elected because he persisted in preach
ing virulent ~partisanship to the young
people under his charge.
He won the support Of Milton Smith,
state chairman of the Democratic
party of Colorado and attorney for
many Denver saloonkeepers and gam
blers, by the organization Of the Law
and Order league, ~ostensibly to fight
the evils of open vice, but in reality
intended to marshal the reform forces
on the side Of the law-breakers. The
organization originally included most
Of the pastors of the city. but was
scornfully rejected by all of them be-
fore election, except Johnson, who
brazenly stuck to his contention Of
reform" until the last.

STATEHOUsES AT CAPITAL.


Washington Wants Legislatures to Erect
Forty-Fivs buildings There.
Every state in the Union should
erect a stately building at Washington,
suggests w. A. Hungerford in the
Washington Times. Aside from these
buildings adding beauty and grandeur
to the Capital City, and rejecting cred
it upon the states, there are many
other advantages. These buildings
could be the business headquarters OF
the state senator's and representatives
in Congress.
Much of the states business with the
national government might be trans
acted through this channel. Visitors
to the city from the states could make
their state building their headquarters
or a meeting place, have their mail
addressed there. etc.
The states could also maintain there
in a permanent exhibit of their prin-
cipal agricultural and manufacturing
for the e%dification of the
thousands and thousands who daily
throng tho city, not only from all parts
Of the United States, but of the world.

ARE ELATED
AT PROSPECT OF IRRIGATION
MEASURE AT THE PRES
EMIT SESSION.
Interests Which Have Been Fighting
the Bill PIacated-Representative
MondelI Has Borne the Brunt of
Much Of the Fighting and Explains
Its Points.

Washington. April 9.-Representa
tives of irrigation in congress are elated
at the outlook for favorable Legislation
during the present session of congress
Representative Mondell of Wyoming
has filed his report upon the senate
measure, and upon that measure the
fight is to be made in the house upon
this question in which the west is Wit.
ally interested.
The interests which have been fight
ing the bill have been p~lacated. Geo.
H. Maxwell chairman Of the executive
committee of the National Irrigation
association, said:
The bill as reported from the com.
mittee today meets with the full ap.
proval of the National Irrigation asso-
citation and will receive its hearty sup
port. Every defect in the bill to which
the association has objected has been
cured by amendment. The rights OF
Nebraska are protected beyond ques-
ton by the amendment inserted in the
bill having relation to interstate use
of waters and it will be our earnest en-
deavor to help the friends of irrigation
pass this most important measure"
Representative Mondell, who has
really borne much of the brunt of the
fighting which has gone on in favor of
some scheme of national irrigation,
said:
THE state control clause of the bill
as originally drawn was offered by
those living along the lower courses of
the Platte river. It not only recogniz-
ed the validity of state laws relative
to the appropriation and distribution Of
water, but also tended aflrmatively to
extend the rights of Wyoming and Colo
RADIO to an extent which might jeopar-
die interests Of Nebraska. There was
no thought of doing this whatsoever, as
it is universally recognized that in the
arid region the rule Of prior a%ppropria-
ton governs and establishes the lights
lesdluiCos VI Slole HIVE, u IL oiuSi
to remove any fear of the effect which
the language used in the bill might
have an amendment was adopted as
follows: And nothing herein shall
affect the right of any state or Of the
federal government or any appropriate
user Of the waters in any interstate
stream.
This amendment recognizes clear
ly the well understood rule of the arid
region that the state OF the citizens
thereof occupying the upper courses of
a stream cannot deprive prior appro-
priators of water in another state low
er down the stream. The fact is that
there has been a considerable misap-
pi ehension as to the views of those
who drafted the original state control
clause and inasmuch as there was no
thought or intention to change the rule
of the priorities in the arid region or
to give any state or the citizens there
Of any right to injure or in any way
affect the rights of citizens of other
states, it was not difficult to adopt Ian
guage which is believed clearly ex-
presses the wish Of all friends of irrt-

DRILL
SAID TO HAVE STRUCK OIL SAND
IN AlsoP WELL At DEPTH OF
ABOUT 400 FEET.
Report Confirmed and Denied, But
Any Amount Of Land In N%eighbor-
hood Has Been Located In Conse-
quence Of Starting of Rumors-
People Go Out BY Night and File
Claims. {.

The city is full of oil strike rumors
today, and parties supposed to be on
the inside, when questioned by repre-
s%entatives of The Republican. have af-
firmed and denied almost in the same
breath. There is a good deal of ex-
element, and whether the rumors be
true or false about all the available.
land in the neighborhood of the alleged
strike has been filed upon. The filings
include. it has beer said, no less than
seven sections, n party, consisting
Of Laramie gentlemen and two Penn
%sylvania oil experts, having filed upon
1880 acres at n time. Men were out
Saturday locating claims and others
came in as early as s O'Clock this morn
ing having gone out in the night to post
notices of filing.
The strike is said to have been made
in a well on the Alsop ranch ten or
twelve miles northwest Of the city.
Jack McCutcheon. who has been Dor
ing a well on that ranch. said this
morning that he would be very glad to
"be shown on the oil proposition. He
denied any knowledge of the alleged
strike.
On the other hand. a gentleman upon
whose truth and v~eracity The Republi-
can can rely, CAV some of the figures
in connection with the strike. and as
serted his belief in the report of the
finding of oil. He says that when a
depth Of 1873 feet had been reached in
the Alsop well a strong flow of water
highly charged with aikali, was struck.
Just beneath this was found a stratum
of oil shale, through which the drill
passed to something over 400 feet
between 400 and 500 feet-when it en-
c%ountered ~oil-bearing sand. producing
oil in ~unmistakable quality. Tests of
this sand had been made and are being
made now. he said, and his belief was
based on the reports Of some of these
tests.
One gentleman. heavily interested in
oil claim locations, and who has gone
to Cheyenne this AFTERNOON to attend
to some matters in connection with
claims on lands adjoining the Alsop
tract. said he was not at liberty to talk
of the alleged find. but asserted that
anything good" The Republican
might say Of the find would not be a
thousand miles from the truth" .
The drill has been stopped-awaiting
1.-THE drill has been stopped-awaiting
a shipment Of casing. one gentleman
said. McCutcheon would not say why
he had stopped work. and seemed as
ignorant of the reports as one could be.
The alleged strike is said to have
been made last Friday. Since that day
vague and uncertain rumors have been
af1oat and any number of trips have
been made to the scene Of the find. A
large number of location blanks have
been bought and the printer was in
formed that he should keep the form
standing, as the supply Oh hand would
not meet the demand. :.
Men have ridden to the tract in the
night and returned after dark the next
night, and others have gone in M
direction from town, only to change
their course after they had gotten out
of sight .
