proved. but it would require control by the
government of sanitary measures. He
thinks it would take about year to place

title to the right to use Of said waters.
"The original defendants, represented
by the county attorney, claim that the
law is unconstitutional, because it seeks
by judicial decision todestroy their titles
without due process of law. The main
specification is that nnder the law the
watefnaster may bring suit against all
his jurisdiction, and by publication in a
newspaper designating every affected
person as unknown, thus gain service
upon them, when the case may go to
trial and the claimants or users be GUST
ed, unless an effective defense be made.
sit is claimed that in southern Idaho
there are thousands of persons depend
ing upon irrigation whose rights could
be taken from them in this way
'The suit also attacks those features
of the law which provides that the de-
PENDANTS shall pay ..ot only their own
costs, but plaintiffs costs, and those OF
the court and publication and all other
expenses incidental to the suit. The
law attacked is an intricate one, seeking
TO cover every phase Of the irrigation
question. 1t has already invoked nu-
merous litigations. The alternative writ
acts as a stay OF the operation of the law
until the case is fairly adjudicated.
