Very respectfully,

very TeSpeCJluIlV,
 STEPHENS & STEPHENS.
 The above opinion makes quite clear the point at issue in this discussion We have contended from the first that the people of this Valley have valid rights to the use of the waters of the Colorado river and that these rights have accrued to them by making ben efcia use of the water in the irriga- tion of their lands. That the rights thus acquired are absolute and that therefore the owners of irrigated lands in this Valley are also owners of "clear right to water sufficen' to successfully and permanently irrigate their lands, as required by the United States Land office as requisite to the granting of title to public lands, This we contend has been acquired by these people in pursuance of the fundamental law of this State and the laws of the United States, both of which provide that the use of water is a public use and the right to It can only belong to the user. Also that the showing ot water right made in the final proofs offered is in- correct and incomplete In that it only goes to the contracts between the com panies engaged in supplying the water to the users and infers that the water does not belong to the land owner but that he only has right to rent 1t.
 The opinion of Messrs. Stephens and Stephens published above more than verifies our fears concerning the water rights of the people of this Valley ac- cording to the contracts between these corporations. There is no fault to find with the proposition that the Cali fornia Development company filed on the waters of the Colorado river under the laws of this State, for even though such filing be invalid as has been held by the secretary of he interior 1t is recommended by the secretary that al versions of water made from the Lower Colorado be permitted where the water diverted is put to beneficial use and Is made appurtenant to the lands to which 1t Is applied. We are also willing to grant that the California Development company and Mexican company are both one as set forth in the second clause. The right of the users of the water and the carrying company to contract for this service and the right of the carrying company to enforce Its contract Is also granted. We will sug- sest at this point, too. that the user of the water has rights also and can en- force them in court.
 This was conclusively shown in the case of Crow vs the San Joaquin and Kings River Canal and Irrigation com pany reported in the l3oth California at page 3o9 wherein the supreme court held 1t to be the duty of the water company to supply the user with water whether he agreed to its regulations or not In this case the water of the plaintiff Crow had been furnished him

How to Do II.

You want toincrease your business
and trade NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
advertising-is the most successful
way to do it. Talk business through
the columns of the newspaper aud
address hundreds and thousands ut
one and the same time. Do not inn
Hgine because YOU have been in bust
ness n loug time that everybody
knows You and what YOU are selling.
You would be greatly surprised il
you could fully realize just how few
The times the general public thinks
of you and your business. There are
great many people who do not
know that you are in business at all.
This ia where advertising comes in.
1t would help you to create an inter
est in your store and goods and CON
vince people that it would be to their
advantage to trade with you.
