WATER CASE TAKEN
UNDER AMUSEMENT

The hearing of the water case be-
fore Judge Bailey at Buena Vista last
week in which the Otero Irrigation
company is attempting to divert 90
feet OF water purchased in the vicinity
of Leadville, to the plains of Otero
county, closed Thursday evening with
the arguments of the attorneys. Judge
Bailey took the case under advise
ment and will give his decision on
Wednesday next. In speaking of the
case the Salida Mail says:
''The testimony of the experts, Ran
dali. Wyland and Carpenter. showed
conclusively to the ordinary mind
that it would be an impossibility to
make the change without injury to
other users along the stream. 1t was
shown that there is visible and an
invisible seepage: that it is impossible
to guage the flow of water and take
into consideration the visible seepage
alone. to say nothing of the invisible
seepage.
A few local witnesses were produc-
cd to show seep codnitions and it was
shown by the experts that from SO to
75 per cent. of the water used for
irrigation on the Hayden ranch flowed
back to and returned to the Arkansas
river, and that the return waters were
much greater on the Arkansas river
than on the Cache La Poudre river.
And it was shown and vigorously
maintained that the use of the waters
for irrigation in Chaffee county is an
actual benefit to users of water far
ther down the river because the use
in Chaffee county was an impounding
of waters which afterward produced a
large uniform flow of water in July
and August and without which the
river in those months would be dry
at the city of Pueblo.
"rhe petitioner endeavored to elm
mate OPPOSITION in Chaffee county by
conceding that the decree should
never be enforced against the junior
appropriators, but when II appeared
that it could be and would be enforced
against junior appropriations down the
stream like the Leguna Canal COM
pany and then that others would en-
force their rights against junior ap-
perpetrators In Chaffee county the
would-be concessions became as hol-
low as a bauble.
at seems that in Otero county a
cubic foot of water will irrigate from
200 to $50 acres Of soil, Mr.. Carpenter
also declares that the river flow of
water Is only about rs per cent. Of
the precipltAtions. and that the use
of water on the headwaters o. a
stream in the spring gives larger
flow OF water in July and August
"The case was very interesting to
water users and water students and
Prof Carpenter stood BY thN people
up the river with conscientious use
Of what he knew to b the fAets for
the general bsnsat Of the whole state

FREMONT COUNTY FRUIT WINS
At HORTICULTURAL SHOW

This county has always been very
successful wherever our fruit has been
placed on exhibition for prizes, but
we believe the record was broken in
this respect at the Denver show last
week. when Fremont county was
awarded both first and second premi-
um on all plate fruit classes and first
on both classes of box fruit. this too
in competition with fruit from Mesa,
Boulder. Larimer, Denver and Pueblo
counties. The amount of the awards
of this show aggregates $3.50, which
viii, be generously turned into the
treasury of the local Horticultural So
ciety, under whose direction the ex-
hibit was made.

month OF January were about $24 more
than they would have been had Canon
a proportionate rate with Florence.
Estimating from this basis 1t will
easily appear that Canon must pay at
least $1,000 year in unjust freight
rates. 1t is believed that the railroad
authorities will recognize the justice
of the plea of the Canon merchants
and that an equitable rate will be
granted.
