COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
bitches on State Lands.

Endless litigation is In sight for a
large number Of the ditch companies
OF the state, says the Denver Repub
lican. Under present conditions 1t is
possible that at any time steps can
be taken to question the right where
by they have constructed their canals
on state lands.
1t is not the intention of the State
Land Board to embarrass these compa-
nies. which have done so much to de-
velop the state. but for the protection
of the ditch owners themselves an ef-
fort will be made to enforce the law
and compel them to obtain the legal
right to occupy state lands with their
canals.
"A large number of the ditch COM
panies constructed their waterways
without taking the trouble to obtain
permission Of the state to build on land
belonging to It," said Register Wood
ruff yesterday in discussing the sub
ject. Under the law they have abso-
lutely no right to use the land. though
they all seem to believe that posses
sion gives them that right.
Complaints have been made fire.
quently of this condition and in some
cases the fact that the ditch crossed
the land caused difficulty in disposing
of it. Such condition of affairs
should not exist, and there is 4 pros
pect of a great deal Of litigation as
the result. 1t seems to me that this
matter should be Strengthened out at
once"
Many of the big ditch companies
have followed their own bent in con-
STRUNG the waterways. According to
the register of the land office they
have built on lands belonging to the
state without even as much as '.by
your leave" This has made the con-
ditions such that the state can inter
fere very seriously with their business
at any time it chooses.

Land Leasers Must Pay.

The State Land Board is taking de

tiles which have been called to its at.
tention during the past week, says the
Denver News of August 18th.
They are called irregularities now,
according to Register Woodruff. be.
cause up to this time they have not
been able to prove criminal intent to
defraud the public, but unless they are
settled within a short time criminal
action will probably be begun.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany is one of those that are al
legged to be greatly indebted to the
state for land secured in what the
state officials claim to be a very pc
culiar manner.
Skinner & Tabor. firm that is now
occupying $4,000 acres of the finest
grazing land in the state, is another
one of those peculiar deals that is be-
ing investigated. This matter came up
nearly month ago. when an eXamin-
alton of the land office records showed
that no rent had been paid on the
land, which is situated in Pueblo
county. for several years. Something
over $4,000 is due, and the state want
ed to find out who was to pay this.
They went to the men who had leased
the land. There were five of them,
and to their surprise they found all of
them holding menial positions in the
Brown hotel. Mr.. Tabor is manager OF
this hotel.
Appraiser Swanson was at once sent
to Pueblo, and he found that the firm
of Skinner & Tabor was using the
land. He reported to the State Land
Board. and yesterday Skinner & Tabor
were notified that unless they prompt
ly paid up the rent due and gave an
explanation of how they came to be
using the land, proceedings would be
started at once.

Kansas Water Complaint.

Attorney General Miller on the 18th
Inst. received a copy of the amended
bill In equity filed by the state of Kan
sas in the United States Supreme Court
The suit is brought by the state OF
Kansas against this state. contending
that Colorado has no right to appro-
pirate the water of the Arkansas river,
but ought to let the water in the river
flow through without diverting 1t and
using it for irrigation.
The bill asks that the court issue an
injunction against the state of Colorado
and all those water and ditch compa-
nies now diverting the water of the
river for irrigation purposes. 1t is fur
ther alleged in the bill that the former
flow of water into Kansas through the
Arkansas river was 1000 cubic feet per
second. but that on account Of the al
legged wrongful use OF this water by the
people Of the state of Colorado, this
amount has been greatly diminished.
much to the detriment of the state OF
Kansas.
The bill alleges that there are thous-
ands of persons and corporations in the
state of Colorado who are diverting the
water OF the Arkansas river by means
of reservoirs and hundreds of miles of
bitches.
The amended bill concludes by ask
ing the court to prohibit. enjoin and
restrain the state of Colorado from
granting. issuing, renewing or permit
ting to be granted or issued or renewed
any charter. license. permit or author
ity to any person. firm or corporation
for the diversion of any of the waters
of the Arkansas river or any Of its
tributaries from their natural beds.
courses and channels within the state
of Colorado. except for domestic use;
or to construct, maintain and operate
any channels. bitches. branches, later
ais or reservoirs now in USE"
The other defendants names in the
amended complaint by the state OF
Kansas against the state of Colorado
are the Bessemer Ditch Company. the
Oxford Farmers Ditch Company. the
Otero Canal Company. the Lake Canal
Company, the Riverside Ditch Compa-
ny, the Catlin Consolidated Canal
Company, the Graham Ditch Company.
the Amity Canal and Reservoir Com
pany, the Rocky Ford Canal Reservoir

Fort Lyon Canal Company. the Colo
RADIO Land and Canal Company. the
Great Plains Water Company. the Ar
kansas Valley Sugar Beet and Irrigated
Land Company. the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company and the Bent-Otero I'm
provement company.
The attorney general stated that he
had not had time to examine the
amended complaint in detail and would
not discuss it. He said, however, that
the state of Colorado would make a
great fight in the Supreme Court of
theUnited States. and he was confident
that it would win.

Up to August Goth. thirty-fve of the
assessors of the state had filed their alb
stracts of assessment with the state au-
ditor. Yuma county was the last one
up to date. There has been a slight in
crease in Yuma county from last year.
The total assessment will be 81 1.40S, ,95S.
of which $5S6.3S2 will be on the rail-
roads of the county. The general
run of the abstracts that have already
been filed show that there had been a
reduction in the assessed valuation of
the state. though it will not be as much
as was anticipated at the time the
meeting of the county assessors was
held at the capitol. While there has
generally been n reduction, in the as
sessment of the railroads, there has
been an increase in a large amount of
new property that has been created
during the past year. The large coun-
ties of the state have not yet been
