Fort Collins, Colo.-The most impor.
tant irrigation suit that has been
started here in several years will come
before Judge Garrigues in Greeley.
when demurrers are argued in the suit
by the Larimer County No. 2 Irriga-
ton Company against all bitches in
the Poudre valley that have reservoir
water in addition to their flow from
the river.
Larimer County No. Company,
which has one of the Oldest bitches in
the Poudre valley. claims that when
its ditch was first built, that 1t had at
all times all the water 1t needed. Since
the building of reservoirs has been
under way the Larimer County No. 2
people say their supply has been an
nually growing smaller and that water
which should have come to them by
right has been systematically diverted
nv other companies and used in re-
claiming low prairie land.
Their belief is that this water has
in some way been manipulated as stor-
age water, when 1t should have been
available for use on Larimer County
No land. which forms the Harmony
district southeast of Fort Collins. Not
less than ten of the leading attorneys
of this city have been employed by
the various companies interested.
Some Of the points raised by Lari-
mer County No. are based upon de-
cisions in the Kansas Colorado case.
One of the principal points the attor-
MES hope to have definitely settled by
the court is the right to purchase land
with certain water rights and then
transfer the water to other land. This
question has not been settled by the
higher courts and has caused much
litigation.

American Architecture.

II architecture is frozen music"
American architecture has been a

fine specimens of public and private
buildings. there followed two genera
tons of bad building, the result Of
sudden growth. Taste had little place
in a country working night and day to
erect necessary shelter. That America
is advancing in all the arts is to be
expected. The outlook for architec-
ture is especially hopeful. A commit
tee appointed by the American 1nsti-
tutes of Architects has reported that.
''on the whole. architecture is being
taught in America with broader
view, and in certain respects more eff
fectively, than in any other country"
teaching will count in practice. thinks
Youths Companion. The architect DIFF
fers from other artists in that his
practical studio is millions OF dollars
worth of materials. That studio. the
means of developing the art. is afford
ed by the amount. diversity and cost
illness OF American building. There is
a general improvement in taste and
increased respect for expert opinion.
Rich builders. individuals and corpora
tions. losing much of the arrogance
which money breeds toward all forms
of service. show disposition to give
the architect free hand to work out
his ideas. and not merely produce az
n hreling what the patron orders. We
may look in another generation not
only for great art in public buildings
and costly dwellings, but for the re-
action of great things on little, for the
disappearance of the salmon-pink
dwelling beneath the jig-sawn porch
of which the American has erstwhile
been proud to sit. Finally. since archi-
lecture. dependent on native materi-
al and landscape, is an indigenous art.
It invites the architect, prominently
among artists. to create original, ma
tive types. The future may produce
buildings of distinctively American
beauty

CHINESE THREATEN UNCLE SAM.
III-WiIl Of Four Hundred Million Peo-
pie Result Of Exclusion Law.


pie Result Of Exclusion Law.
Mexico City.-The most aggressive
utterance that has come from the pen
of a Chinese concerning the United
States exclusion act is a document
written by Kong Yu Wei. the leader
of the Chinese reform movement. who
recently left this city for New York.
The letter was written to President
Roosevelt, seeking to enlist the Presi-
dents aid in a revision of the present
laws. Just before leaving the city
last week Kong Yu Wei gave to the
Daily Record, an afternoon paper pub
lished here, a copy OF this letter. and
authorized its publication today. Mr..
Kong says:
TOO rigid enforcement of the ex-
clusion laws have brought about the
ill-win of 100000 people. A united
Chinese nation will seek to assert its
rights and avenge its wrongs. Its
anger will be vented in ways that
dread to think of.
1.-THE time will come when a small
spark Will start an uncomfortable con-
Migration and the friendly ties be-
tween our people be severed beyond
remedy. Americans have been wont
to condemn Russian cruelty toward the
Jews How much more humane has
been Americas treatment of the Chin
csc?
Can civilized America reconcile
such treatment of their fellow crea-
lures with divine law? Courtesy and
kindness should be reciprocal, but
what a difference between the treat
ment Americans receive in China and
that accorded Chinese in America"
Among the notifications he sug-
gests to the exclusion law is the abol-
ishment of the Objectionable features
of Identification. such as the photo
graph and the body marks that no re-
striction as to ports of entry be made;
that certificates issued to Cinnamon
by Chinese chambers of commerce and
Endorsed by American consuls should
entitle Chinese to free entry. He asks
that the same laws apply in the Phil
ippines and Hawaii.

private menagerie with a camera in
order to photograph the animals Ar

minister of war to hold the beast by
the ear while he photographed it
Dreading his masters displeasure If
he refused. the trembling minister APP
preached the cage. and, thrusting his
hand between the bars, grasped the
animal by the ear. With fierce
growi the tiger sprang to its feet,
while the wretched minister chung

the tiger and dread of the sultan At
that moment, to his inexpressible re

go uurewarded. The sultan has dis
tributed numerous copies of the pho
tograph as an evidence of his skill as
