Irrigation Case.

Judge w. r. Ellis Of the circuit
court has rendered a final decision in
the case of Mobley ct al. VS.. the Milton,
Freewater & Hudson Bay Irrigation
company. In this decision the court
gave the defendant irrigation company
the right to use two.ifths of all the
water which could be put through the
head gate belonging to the plaintiffs in
the Little Walla Walla river. To insure
the plaintiffs against injury should the
defendants take more water than allowed
by the court they we're required to fur
nish bond to this effect h the sum Of
$1,000, which bond was fled with the
court. This arrangement holds good
until May 3, 1904, when the defendants
must stop taking any water from the
Little Walla Walla river.
