Preparing for k.n.a. Suit.

Attorney General Miller and the
corps of able lawyers associated with
him in the defense OF the suit brought
by Kansas to put n 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
ut the same time they are guarding all
the legal points.
In view OF the attitude taken by tho
members OF the Supreme Court on tho
argument OF the demurrer filed to tho
first bill OF the plaintiff, Il looks as II
the case would not be gained on any
purely legal point. apart from tho
facts. Accepting this as n possibility
tho attorneys and State Engineer Car
pcnter are gathering a 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 STU
preme Court in regard to certain mat
tiers 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 Hoods In
ter.
As part of this preparatory work At
torney General Miller has had a 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 It 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
stream grows smaller as it proceeds
from its chief source of supply. In hui
mid countries a river becomes larger as
it 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
into the rock formation. Thus the tes-
timony clearly shows that near the
mountains the Arkansas has always
been larger stream than it Is two or
three hundred miles east of Pueblo.
1t is the thorough preparation of the
defense which justities the hope that
Kansas VIII fail In It's attempt 10 check
irrigation in this state, thereby de-
stroying millions Of dollars of valuable
property which is the result of the re-
clamation of arid land through irriga-
tion.-Denver Republican.

nation Should the attorney general
pass favorably upon the legal questions
involved, the Indian Bureau will at
once issue advertisement for proposals
to carry on the work. The engineering
plans for the project are all complete,
and now only await settlement of the
legal technicalities as to the right of
way. Congress at the last session APP
propriated $4,000 for this project.

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


T. T, Allen Of Washington. ID. e.. 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 finai ac-
tion 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
fndo which are important to the pro-
lection Of irrigation streams, including
the San Miguel and La Plata ranges In
southwestern Colorado. the San Juan.
Coehetopah and Sangre de crlsto
ranges. which surround the watershed
of the Rio Grande: the Wet mountains
In Custer county. the West Elk and sa-
suache ranges ON the Gunnison; the
uncompahsre 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
erhment exercises much more care In
this respect than in the past. and the
investigations cover every aspect OF the
problem. The Importance OF the irh-
cation and other interests to be bene-
fi,ed is ascertained and compared with

Denver. Oct. 3.--Colorado's recourses
for manufacturing cement will be in
vestigated and fully described by the
United States Geological Survey. The
importance of this work in the devel-
opment of the industry is considered
inestimable by the citizens who have
invested in the few cement quarries
opened.

The cement manufactured at Flor

cement, has already taken rank among
builders of the West as equal to the
genuine article formerly imported from
the remote East. The home product is
being used exclusively in all local
building operations and also for GEM

CHILDREN'S COATS

in regard to the matter of voters en-
rolling in order to take part in next
springs caucusses. know that the
Journal has already printed consid-
cradle amount on this subject, but still
there are many who are laboring under
a misrepresentation. Many have the
idea that there is no need of their en-
rolling at this time as they can, by
making a sworn statement, be enrolled
at the caucus. Now that is wrong.
They gain this idea from the general
caucus law passed, last winter. which
makes such provision. However, the
