Court sustains Water Transfer.

Greeley.-An important decision has
been rendered by District Judge Gar
rigues, by which the Poudre Valley
Reservoir Company is allowed to trans
fer to the Poudre Valley canal the ap-
preparation in the Poudre river of the
Canon Canal Company. The Larimer
& Weld, the new Cache La Poudre, the
new Mercer, the Laramie canal No. 2
and the Arthur ditch, all contested in
court against the transfer. The Canon
canal and its appropriations were
owned by the Poudre Valley Ditch and
Reservoir Company, but the canal was
washed away by floods in 1904, since
when the Canon canal waters have not
been used by its owners and thus 9TH
er bitches on the rivers have profited.
Judge Garrigues sustained the claim
of the Poudre Valley Reservoir Com
pany that it has the right to transfer
twenty-six feet of water, the appropria-
tion of the Canon canal, subject to
other priorities. The Canon canal is
one of the Oldest bitches on the Pou-

House Approves Game Bill,

After fighting for the better part of
three days over the Dunn bill to amend
the fish and game. laws, the House
finally adopted the report of the com.
mittee of the whole and approved the
bill on second reading with but few
changes from the present statute.
The bill increases the number of
special game wardens in the open sea
son on deer from ten to twenty, and
makes the open season October 1st to
October 10th. 1t establishes a fishing
license of 50 per year for non-resi-
dents and makes the open season on
trout May 25th to November 30th,
opening five days earlier than at pres
ent.
Practically all day was spent by the
house in fighting over the question
whether license should be charged
for fishing. The bill as drawn pro.
viued a 81 license for residents of
Colorado and 81 for non-residents.
Nearly every member Grated one way
or the other and in committee Of the
whole both licenses were accepted.
When the committee rose, the fight
was waged all over again. Long moved
to strike out the enacting clause. His
motion was lost, however, and finally,
through the efforts of Goodfriend OF
Leadville, the resident fishing license
was killed.

RECORD OF THE SEVENTEENTH
COLORADO GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Legislators at Fort Collins.


Students of the Agricultural Col

tanned members of the General Assem-
bly, of Colorado.
AT the station on the college
grounds the Legislators were met by

instructor of the department was on
hand, having been permitted to be in
the building if she would promise not
to interfere or to take any of the
credit. The attendance of legislators
and their guests was so large that the
rooms in the domestic science build
ing were not quite large enough to ac-
commodate all at once, as there were
two tables, but those at the second
suffered nothing because they had not
been at the first.
After the luncheon, the legislators
were put in automobiles and taken to
the farther parts of the grounds, and
over to the governments experimental
station, where a breed of allservice
horses is being established. Later
they were given rides about the city
Of Fort Collins.
Shortly before the hour for depar-
ture, the students and their guests
gathered in the auditorium of the
main college building, where Senator
Drake was voted into the chair. In a
few happy remarks, giving what he
knew of each. he introduced a num-
