Decision Far Reaching.

A decision of vast Importance to
the users of water fer irrigation In
Wyoming was rendered In Spokane a
few days ago by United States Judge
Edward Whitson In suit brought
by the ranchmen of Sage creek, in
Big Horn county, Wyoming. against
appropriations in Montana. Sage
creek rises in southern Montana,
crosses the line and flows into the
Stinkingwater river in Big Horn
county. The Montana appropriators
claimed prior right to the water
by virtue Of the fact that the stream
had its source in their state. The
evidence showed that W. A. Morris
and T. N. Howell appropriated
water from Sage creek three or four
years prior to the appropriation Of S.
N. Bean and others in Montana.
The diversion of water to the Bean
and other Montana ranches used al
most the entire flow Of Sage creek
and cut the Wyoming men short,
hence the suit.
The decision was in effect that
Morris and Howell had prior rights
to the waters Of Sage creek, regard
less of the fact that the contending
parties are in different states. The
decision is a big victory for Wyom-
ing people.
The Sage creek situation exists 10
southern Albany county, in Uinta
county, Wyoming, and the Kansas
Colorado water suit is very similar.
The users of water from the Laramie
river, or rather from Sand creek, a
tributary, which rises in Colorado,
contend that they have the prior
right to the appropriation by Colo
,rado users, and the Albany county
ranchmen feel that when the final
decision comes 1t will be the same
as that Of Judge Whitson in the
Sage creek case.
The Greeley tribune., 1906-05-24
WONDERFUL COUNTRY.

What the establishment of the
great electrical power plant at LAT
ayette, which now seems assured,
may mean to northern Colorado Is
not easy to predict. 1t may mean
the making Of the most remarkable
section of country in the world, II
the plans of the people behind the
enterprise are carried out. Certainly
no other section Of agricultural
country can show anything like 1t.
The farmers who may desire to avail
themselves of the opportunity will
soon be able to have most of their
power and light furnished from an
electrical current, just the same as
city folks. Imagination can hardly
picture to what extent this may pe
carried. There is more or less light
machinery about an up-to-date farm
that can all be run by electricity.
Water for domestic use and for irri-
CATION can be pumped by the same
power, at less expense than by gaso.

Within the next five years, at the
longest, the country will also be COW
cred with network of electric rail-
ways, that may draw power from this
same central plant. 1t is Intended
to eventually develope 36,o horse

of machinery. 1t will mean the
half citifying Of all the farming
between Denver and Chey-

half. Practically all Of the conven-

Surely this will be good country
