Large Water Interests Concerned.

Interests involving millions of dol
lars and the completion of several
large water works depends upon the
decision of Attorney General Miller,
says the Denver News
The opinion has been requested by
Senator Taylor, who recently bought
the four oldest water rights on Divide
creek. in Garfield county. There were
fifty-fve respondents, and every one
objected to the transfer. The court
granted the petition, and this party ap-
pealed.
The question Attorney General Mil
Ter has to determine is whether an APP
peal to the Supreme Court arrests thd
decree of a district judge regarding the
change in the point of division in a
water right.
If the attorney general decides in tina
affirmative ii will tie up many munici-
pal and corporate enterprises of magni-
tude. besides the transfer of a large
number Of smaller and private water
rights.

water under that right diverted to an

the fact that all those who are to en-

SOME ALLEGED ILLEGAL ITEMS
IN NEW APPROPRIATION BILL

Denver. July Ex-Governor Peabody
at 2:30 yesterday afternoon signed
the long appropriation bill passed by
the extra session of the Fourteenth
General Assembly The bill has now
become a law of the state and the EN-
ployes at the state house who have
been waiting for their salaries for
many days are happy.
The governor signed the bill with
the item of $500 for the state fair
fund still included. although the at
torney general gave it as his opinion
that the item was unconstitutional
This is the item that was protested by
Senators Rush and Barela when the
bill was up for consideration at the en-
ira session. The opinion of the attor-
ney general as given to the governor
was as follows
Hon. James H. Peabody. Governor
of Colorado. State Capitol:
Dear Sir-I return you herewith ap-
preparation bill passed at the extra
session. with the advice that the item
concerning the State Fair Fund be
not drawn upon by the auditor until a
decision of the court is obtained there
on. -
Il am convinced that the appropri-
alton contained in the item is uncon-
stitutional, but | am willing to submit
this opinion to the decision of the
court, which can only be done by you
signing the bill and the auditor refus-
ing to draw a warrant on it.
Respectfully
(Signed) IN c. MILLER,
Attorney General"
Attorney General Miller gave it as
his opinion yesterday that several 9TH
er bureaus would come under the same
head as the appropriation for the state

Imperishable Value of Lands.

Kansas City Star: Amid the
crash of stocks and the wreck of
infected trusts it will be observed
that land and urban real estate
are showing no tokens of panic
or shrinkage. Into all of the
states of the west the procession
of farm buyers contin ues to
move in an uninterrupted stream.
None of the reverses of spec
ulation has precipitated anylack
of confidence in the soil. 1t re-

firm and unshaken basis of the
country's wealth. The man who
is the possessor of a piece Of
land has the game i'll his own
hands. There is no promoter
or stock gambler who can jeop-

it is purchased with judgment
land is always worth the money
paid for it, and it is bound TO in
caease in value. It can not be.
