 It will be seen by the very act itself that the government of the United States must follow the provisions of the State law, the same as private corpoIa- tions or individuals; and before the ma tional government undertook to operate on and along the Colorado river, 1t availed itself of the law of the State pro- viding for the appropriation and use of water, and Caused filing to be made on all the unappropriated waters of the stream.
 The report made to Congress on the Daniels bill, by branch of the Depart nient of the Interior Is not in harmony with the law of the land, as interpreted by the best lawyers Tn Congress, and such lawyers did not hesitate to state to me, while supporting the Daniels bill before the committee, that the opinion rendered by said department to the ef- feet that the California Development Company apparently bad no right to appropriate and use water from the Col orldo River, Is contrary to and III viola ton of the true interpretation of tho law, and that the company having ap- propriated under the laws of the State ot California, and made use of the water diverted, has established legal, vested right, which k unassallable.
 The Colorado River, being on the maps of the United States as navlga- ble stream, bv law is under the jurisdic ton of the War Department. Applica- ton was made to said department for the right to divert water for irrigation purposes.

 Recently the general government of the republic of Mexico has confirmed to the Mexican corporation (formed to- operate in conjunction with the Cali folnia Development Company the right to receive water at the international boundary line on the river, and con duet it through Mexican territory, then back into the United States for distri- button to the settlers, and in addition has granted to the corporation the right to divert and appropriate water from the river on Mexican soil, and to con-
