PORTNEUF co.
GOING AHEAD

The first step was taken by the
Portneuf Valley Irrigation company
Wednesday, to precIpitate contest
with the Telluride Power company
over the water of Bear Lake, when
the irrigation company made filing |
at the office of the state engineer on
the same water as had previously
been appropriated for power pur.
poses, says the BOISE Statesman of
June II. The irrigation company
expects litigation when it once com
mences construction work on a ca
nal system which is to carry the
water by gravity from Bear river
across the divide to the Portneuf
river, and will base it's claim to the
..ater on the provision of the Idaho
statutes requiring an appropriation
of water to complete construction
work and utilize water appropriated
within gwen time.
The Telluride Power company
supplies power for lighting and
street railway systems in Salt Lake
and Ogden, and also exclusively for
mining operations throughout the
state of Utah. The irrigation com-
pany will allege, that of the great
amount of water covered by the
power of filing, a very small par,
has been utilized which would con.
stltute forfeiture under the laws oI
the state of Idaho, provided one
fifth of the construction work on 8
plant by which the water would b'
put to benefcient use was not com
pleted at the end of one year ant
The plant completed in its entirety
at the end of five years.
Bear Lake lies partially within
the state of Idaho and partially Il
the state of Utah, the outlet of til
lake, Bear river, being in Idaho
: The litigation would, therefore, i
; all probability find its way into th
: federal court as an interstate mai
: ter, upon which there would be
question of the relative bearing @
the water laws of the two states.

London, Oct. 25-The announce

that the army under General Marina

The Times correspondent says the
Spaniards under Marina reached two

of Mount Gurugu but were forced to
retire. II IS obvious that General
Marina has given up hope of taking
Mount Gurugu by assault, but plans
to conquer the tribesmen entrenched
there by investment.
The fake announcement was un-
doubtedly made to subdue the storm
of opposition developing in Spain
which demanded the suspension of
hostilities in Morocco.
