materially greater. The Ovcrdratt on

has been estimated 10 be between TO-
600, 900 10 1000, 600 gallons of water

son of having investigated all c0ndi-

that the underground water of the Is

one, but that such water belongs to
the people at large, and IN order TO
preserve our present magnificent agrl-

action must be taken to regulate wastes

ture development and prosperity Of our
country.
