A FORMIDABLE FIGHTER
The Cruiser is a Valuable Addition

launched today in the presence of
thousands of spectators, including
a distinguished delegation from the
city in whose honor the vessel was
named and large number of the
knights Templar from Wisconsin
and other states who have been in
San Francisco this week for their
triennial concave.
Long before the hour appointed for
the launching the visitors crowded

nils. Many took places of vantage
hours before the vessel slid from the
ways, and they patiently waited un-

bay
The launching party was given
place upon the large platform which
had been built around the Prov of

Mr.. Tracy says that the claims OF
his company are based upon the fol
lowing facts.
THE company has an irrigating sys-
tenn consisting of two storage reser-
yoirs and a canal constructed to dl-
vert more than 300 cubic feet per
second out of the Pecos river. This
system as constructed embraced
100000 acres of land under actual
canals and has water rights for more
than so 900 acres of land upon which
water has actually been run, and IL
tie to most of which has been given
by the United States government
Hnder the desert land act, thus recog
nizing the validity of these water
rights.
The company claims that il has es-
tabIished the prior right to all the
normal flow of the Pecos river and
its tributaries and without it's reser-
voirs to so much of each flood flow
as can be diverted into its canals
and put to beneficial use. These
rights having proved insufficient for
itS reouirements it built two reser-
yoirs for storing flood waters and it
claims the right to fill these at all
times before any subsequent appfo-
nriator can impound single drop
of water.
subsequent appropriation of wa
tes from the Pecos or from any OF
it's tributaries must take his rights
suhiecr to these prior rights of the
Pecos Irrigation Company and be pre-
narad To let pass all normal flow be-
longing to that company and the
frst water of each and every flood
flow until its reservoirs are full.
These property rights were deriv-
ed originally from the Pecos lrrlga-
&on and Improvement Company OF
which Mr.. James j. Hagerman was
rhe president and Mr.. R. w. Tanslil,
now dead, was the receiver
The latter company also owned the
Northern Canal, and several thousand
acres of land in Chaves county to
some of which water rights had been
issued. but not to all. and had issued
water right contracts to various par
Ties owning lands under the canal.
The dam belonging to this canal is
h simple diverting dam across the
Hondo river and the canal has from
that river similar rights to those
that the other canal has from the
Pecos river, except only the right to
store the flood waters of the Hondo
upon which stream up to the date OF
this protest no Hood waters have ev-
er been stored.
All Of the waters not actually used
for irrigation upon the Hondo river
should be allowed to pass down that
III
river into the Pecos by proper spill
ways constructed in the Northern Ca.
