DECISION OF IMPORTANCE
TO WESTERN IRRIGATORS

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Tn the
case of the Bouquilas Land and Cattle
company of Arizona VS.. J. n. Curtis
and others, the supreme court of the
United States held today that riparian
land owners could not prevent the tax
ing by others of water out of stream
for irrigation purposes, simply because
of such ownership. The Boquillas com
pany owns all the land on both sides
of the San Pedro river for about tif-
teen miles, and il sought by injunction
to prevent Curtis and his associates
from building dam and taking water
across their land for the purpose of
irrigating other property. The case
came to the federal supreme court from
the supreme court of Arizona. where
the irrigatIonists were sustained.
Today's opinion delivered by Justice
Holmes affirmed the decisions of the
lower courts.
