Preparing for Kansas Suit.

Attorney General Miller and the
corps of able lawyers associated with
him in the defense of the suit brought
by Kansas to put stop to irrigation
in the Arkansas valley are giving spe
cial attention to the preparation of ev
idence to be used on the trial. while
at the same time they are guarding all
the legal points.
In view of the attitude taken by the
members of the Supreme Court on the
argument of the demurrer filed to the
first bill of the plaintiff, 1t looks as if
the case would not be gained on any
purely legal point, apart from the
facts. Accepting this as possibility
the attorneys and State Engineer Car
penter are gathering great quantity
of evidence going to show that irriga-
tion in Colorado does not violate any
right enjoyed by the people of Kansas.
Important in this connection are the
measurements of the river which the
state engineer has been making for
some time. By means of the evidence
thus obtained the inquiries of the SUI
preme Court in regard to certain mat
ters Of fact can be readily answered.
Along the same line are the measure
ments already made by the state en-
gineer showing the course of floods in
the river and what becomes of the wa
ter.
AS part of this preparatory work At.
torney General Miller has had search
made Of documents bearing upon the
history of the Arkansas river and the
country through which 1t flows. Ex-
plorers who passed along its banks or
crossed 1t years ago are thus called
upon to testify to the character of the
stream long before there was any irri-
cation to divert its waters
This historical evidence strongly
supports the assertion made on behalf
of the defense that in an arid region a
stream grows smaller as 1t proceeds
from Its chief source of supply. In hui
mid countries river becomes larger as
1t advances toward its mouth But 1t
Is not so with rivers In an arid region,
as thousands of men in the Rocky
mountains can testify. An arid region
stream loses much of its volume be-
cause the water sinks into the sands,
some of 1t finding its way far below
inlo the rock formation. Thus the tes-
timony clearly shows that near the
mountains the Arkansas has always
been a larger stream than 1t is two or
three hundred miles east of Pueblo.
1t is the thorough preparation OF the
defense which justifes the hope that
Kansas will fail in It's attempt to check
irrigation In this state, thereby de-
strOying millions of dollars of valuable
property which is the result Of the re-
clamati0n of arid land through irriga-
ti0n.-Denyer Republican.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Colorado Fore.. Reserves.

E. 7. Allen OF Washington. d. c.. dis
trict chief Of the Federal Bureau of
Forestry's investigations Of proposed
new forest reserves in Colorado. Idaho
and Montana. has returned to Denver
| to inspect the seasons work OF his as
sistants and conclude the examinations
in this state. His reports will be pre-
pared during the next two or three
months. and the governments final ac-
ton upon the areas involved may be
| expected by the first of the coming
year. Examinations are being made OF
| nearly all the mountain areas of Colo
RADIO which are important to the pro-
lection OF irrigation streams, including
the San Miguel and La Plata ranges in
southwestern Colorado; the San Juan.
Cochetopah and Sangre de Cristo
ranges, which surround the watershed
of the Rio Grande; the Wet mountains
In Custer county; the West Elk and Sa-
guache ranges on the Gunnison; the
Uncompahgre plateau: the Park and
Medicine Bow ranges in northern Colo
rado, and several proposed small ad-
ditions to the present South Platte and
. Pixies Peak group of reserves.
Mr.. Allen states that. while large
area has been investigated, the resi-
dents of Colorado have no cause to fear
wholesale reservation of lands more
valuable for other purposes. The gov
ernment exercises much more care in
this respect than in the past. and the
Investigations cover every aspect of the
problem. The importance of the irri-
cation and other interests to be bene-
fitted is ascertained and compared with
that of those which may be opposed;
the relation of the forest to the water
supply is studied and the timber is
carefully mapped so that the reserve
will include no agricultural land.
Farming. grazing and mining are con-
sidered. SO that none shall be done an
injustice. The policy is to create small
reserves where they are needed rather
than to include large general areas.
The occasional opposition to re-
serves, Mr.. Allen asserts. nearly al
ways is due to misrepresentation. Where
the people. especially the miners and
farmers, have become familiar with the
policy they are its fast supporters. The
object Is not to prevent utilization OF
timber and range. but to prevent their
destruction by fire and wasteful use.
A fire patrol is maintained and fund
kept available TO pay settlers who as
slSt IN emergencies. Mlulns laws dp-
ply in reserves exactly as elsewhere.
Settlers and prospectors are allowed
free timber for all their needs. Lumber
companies, large mines and similar
enterprises may purchase timber and
thus help develop the country, but are
required to take precautions against
/ fire and are restricted to the economi-
cal Use of mature timber not needed
by local residents or miners
| Grazing is restricted only so far as
necessary to prevent overstocking the
range or protect settlers of the region
from outside stock. In allotting the
range the actual resident of the re-
serve Is given first preference. the man
living nearby is second in considera-
tion and the outsider comes last. Only
residents of another state are positive-
/ ly excluded.

The Peter Magnes estate. which has
been pending probate for a year and a
half in the County Court in Denver
will be used as a basis for test suit
TO ascertain the legality of the 1902
inheritance tax law. On Monday, the
attorney general will petition Judge
Lindsey for the appointment of an ap-
praiser of the estate. A claim will then
be entered for the Inheritance tax on
the estate. and will be combatted, thus
furnishing litigation for the test.

Upon a question of absolute priyi-

dismisses the suit. Mr. Irish was re-
moved from the Office of superintend-
ent OF the State Industrial School for
Girls some time last winter. after a
sensational investigation of conditions
at the school in which the Governor
took hand. He claimed that some
of the charges preferred against him
emanated from Colder, and that they
were false. He accordingly brought
suit for $4,000 damages. alleging SLAM
der and libel. Golders attorneys raised
the question as to privilege. In the mat

claiming that the examining commit
tee acted as a court and with full
power to summon and examfn wit
