Want DAMS IN
THE PAL0USE
Potlateh Lumber Co. Sues to Condemn
Lands Along Stream.
Special to EveniSg Teller.

Special to Evening Teller.
Moscow. Idahd Jan. ls.-Suit has
been instituted il the district court by
the Potlatch Lumber Company against
Henry Peterson fNr the condemnation
and appropriation of certain lands
along the Palouse river for the con-
struction of splash dams. The COM
pany alleges in its complaint that the
Palouse river is the only means Of
transporting timber from the forests to
their mills. and that it is impossible
during the high state OF water to float
sufficient logs to rulf~the mills the en-
tire season without the construction
and maintenance Of splash dams at
different points.
Some. time al Nr. Peterson institute
axains, A.Pothtch Lumber company.
asking thaANtt be enjoined from DAM
ming the Pa(fise river. and also ask
Ing for damagys sustained to his land
by the overflow. The suit instituted by
the companyis for the avoidance Of
this injuncAAp and damages.
The legal Question that will arise in
this case. one which will probably
travel through the entire channel of
the courts btfore judcation is whether
a private \prporation can ask for the
condemnation of lands and also the
obstruction OF natigable river for
thAic own individual use and benefit.
ThaAaho laws hold and are backed
UP Nrumerous decisions. that no
lands\ cA be condemn and appro-
priateA nN a navigable river be made
use of Aycept for a bubble purpose.
The chnpany basis it's action upon
the fact that the timber industry will
of men and that it will develop the re-
sources of the county and state, aand
that for this reason the condemnation
Of the land would be for a public use.
