concerted action on the part of the
West and South may indicate to con

the necessary attributes of one of
those mysterious m oonshine stills that
are supposed to be so numerous in

qualities and quantities are woven to-

The five acts of the 'Moonshiners"
gave room for hardly a dull moment
and the audience by the frequent and
hearty applause gave ample evidence
of its satisfaction. The mountain
settings for the various acts carried
by the company We're correct and very
attractive. The costumes, the dia-

CALLS 1T a GREAT VICTORY.

Anent the decision of the state su-
preme court in the local irrigation
suit. announced by the Sentinel yes
terday. the Denver Republican has
the following to say editorially:
A great victory was gained for the
cause of of irrigation in Colorado
when the supreme court sustained the
constitutionality of the irrigation dis
trict law. The action was taken yes
terday in the case of the Grand val
ley irrigation district, and its sig
nificence is evident to everyone who
has given any thought to the sub
ject of irrigation by private enter
prise and especially to the develop
pent of irrigation systems under the
term of this act.
So long as the constitutionality of
the district law had not been sub
jected to the test of a supreme court
decision, there remained a question
concerning the validity of bonds is
sued for the construction of bitches
and reservoirs to be redeemed
through the collection of taxes on the
property benefited. This question
was at no time serious in the minds
of the lawyers, but it hung as n
cloud over every enterprise and check
ed the sale of the bonds and hence the
development of irrigation interests
The full value of the decision be-
comes all the more apparent when
it is considered that the extensive
development of irrigation in the flu
ture of this state depends in the main
trict law. This involves no dispar-
agement of what the reclamation
service of the federal government
may do in connection with the com
paratively small number of projects
that may come within the sphere of
its operations. But the reclamation
service is more or less restricted to
vast undertakings. too great an in
vestment of capital for private enter
prise. For the success of practically
all other projects, whether entirely
new or for the purpose of supplement
ing or perfecting enterprises already
in existence. the people will have to
look in the main to the irrigation dis
trict law and the possibilities contain
ed in its provisions
Had this exceedingly important
legislative enactment been declared
by the supreme court to have been
unconstitutional or invalid for any
other reason. the decision would have
fallen as blight upon the hopes of
nearly every part of the state. Hard
ly single important locality is with
out some such enterprise. contem-
plated or already on the way. and to
every such community the decision
of the supreme court sustaining and
upholding the law viii come as well
come news and the promise of great
things to be accomplished in the flu
ture.
