coLoRADo's ANSWER.
1t Is Filled in Water suits in United states
Supreme Court

1t Is FILED in Water Suits in United States
Supreme Court.
The answer Of the state OF Colorado to
the amended bill Of the state Of Kansas
in the suit Of the latter state to enjoiD
Colorado from the further appropriation
Of the waters Of the Arkansas river for
irrigation purposes has been fled in the
United States supreme court at Wash
ingtOn. The document was presented
by ColOrado's attorney general, n. G..
Miller, who Is to be assisted IN the case
by formidable array Of counsel, includ-
hiding former United States Senator
WOlcott and former Justice Halt. The
answer sets up the contention that the
United States supreme court is without
jurisdiction. 1t is also denied that the
Arkansas is a navigable stream OF that
the use Of water for irrigation is de-
Tended as IN accord with the custom
prevailing in the arid region of the coun-
try and the fact is set forth that many
of the ditch corporations now operating
IN Colorado were Incorporated by Kan
sas when that state comprised the terri
tory now embraced IN Colorado.
Charles Q. GOOdale, as solicitor for the
Graham Ditch company, also filed the
answer Of that company to the CON-
plant made by Kansas against it.

An official at Chicago IN a high posi-

menting on the labor situation, said that
so far Is the railroads were concerned,
the limit had been reached in advance of
wages. He said the labor leaders were
beginning TO feel such was the case.
Some roads have advanced wages two
or three times IN different departments,
while others, where wages were already
high, have made one advance. with
this this official said, "the roads feel
they can 90 no further in the matter OF
advancing wages, and while the outlook

From Topeka Herald.
Contrary to the general belief, it is
shown that the precipitation was below
normal IN a number Of the western cOun-
ties in Kansas which produced record
breaking crops Of wheat this year. 1t
has been cOnteRded by agriculturists
that the large amount of wheat grown in
the western third Of the state was due to
the unusual amount Of rain fall there,
bat this theory has been proven enron
