Garden street since the Aultman street
franchise was granted. Those who
have purchased property on Aultman
street did it with full knowledge that
the company had a franchise on that
street; and en- the other hand, persons
who have done likewise on Garden
street had no thought that Aultman
street would be relieved Of the burden
which has since been thrust on them.
There isa movement among Garden
street property owners to test the le-
gaitV of the franchise for the reasons
stated they believe they are standing
more than their share of the burden
they vii undoubtedly sustain. They
cannot understand the equity of taking
their property without their consent;
and yet the people, ftcr giving the
company a right of way through the
second most important sire ct of the
town, free, then take up subscription
and donate it to the company to help
purchase a depot site and to construct
its building.
D. S. Dickerson, of the real estate
firm Of Dickerson & Ellis, said:
Either Court or High street, in my
Judgment would have been preferable
to the route selected by the Commits
sioners in that less property would
lave been damaged by either of those
routes than by the one selected. AS
between Aultman and Garden streets
there can be no doubt but that the Gar
den street route was the better one.
Aultman street is the natural business

nino up that street would depreciate
the value of property, not only on that
street but on every street in Ely.
The condition in the franchise re-
curing that depot be established and

COLORADO DENIES IT.
Asserts That She Doesn't Take Kansas
Water

Attorney General Coleman has re-
ceived the reply brief filed by the state
of Colorado in the Kansas Colorado lit
igation. The brief is a long one and
contends that it does not divert water
from the river; that the water is alb
sorbed in the ''seive" in western Kan
sas. The brief says:
THE irrigators of Colorado have con-
fined their actions to the Colorado Ar
kansas above described. They have ia
ken the waters of the perennial stream
before 1t reaches the sieve through
which it wasted; they have lifted that
stream out Of the sandy channel in
which it had flowed and applied it to
beneficial uses upon the land: carried
the body of it along a higher level than
where 1t was accustomed to run. and
they finally restore it, practically IN
diminished in volume, so far as regards
practical use. at points in the ancient

fore the period Of irrigation. The eff
feet of the diversion of this water in
Colorado, the carrying of it forward
on a higher level, the return of wa
ters party through seepage and partly
through direct delivery at waste gates,
and the effect of this process in extend
ing eastwardly the perennial flow Will
be fully discussed in the course of the
arguments to follow"

of Kansas have not been injured, and
