m,x-up on irrigation Matter. Corrected

In our last issue we evidently con-
veycd wrong impression In regard
TO the suit now pending in Chaffee
county regarding the matter OF stor-
ing water in the Clear Creek reservoir
owned ty the Otero Irrigation Dis
trict. An eminent authority. who is
fully advised In the matter. has writ
ten us letter In which the animus
of the litigation is explicitely shown.
and for the purpose Of correcting any
Misrepresentation that may have per
meated the grey matter OF our read
ers the epistle is herewith repro
duced:
In your issue OF February 10th,
under the heading 'Otero Reservoir
in Court the article would Intimate
that the matter OF storing water In
the Clear Creek reservoir is In It'll.
CATION. The litigation referred to is
solely over the right OF the Otero
canal to store the waters Of the
Jackson ditch, n small canal with a
priority for about five cubic feet per
second which irrigated the tract Of
land. or part OF ii. which Is now
submerged by the reservoir. In view
farm this land any longer. and In
view OF the ownership of the priority
by the Otero Irrigation District, appli.
cation is being made to transfer this
right from a right OF use to right
of storage.
This matter is being opposed by
some members OF the Arkansas Val.
ley Ditch Association solely on the
grounds that 1t may be a bad preced-
ent to change rights to use OF water
TO storage. because water used on
land returns in more or less de-
gree to the stream from which II is
taken during the time the water Is
being used. There is no controversy
whatever as 10 the right of the Clear
Creek reservoir TO store water either
during the winter season or during
the summer floods. The amount Of
water involved in the Jackson ditch
controversy Is very snail and the op-
position to the measure is, as above
stated, solely on the grounds OF the
wisdom of establishing such a pre-.
cedent."

be gladly received by the growers.

The prizes are as follows: 500 to
grower whose entire crop shows the
highest sugar content: $50 second
prize: $25 third prize; 500 for the
grower whose entire crop produces
the greatest amount OF sugar per
acre; $50 second prize; SIS third
prize.
The offering of SUI stantial prizes
to growers to further the interest in
the sugar industry in the Arkansas
Valley is a decided innovation here,
and the growers winning the prem.

in addition.

LATEST FIGURES ON
 TENNESSEE ELECTION

Nashville. November 9.-The latest fig ures given out by the fusion headquarters on the governors race places the ma jority of Hooper, republican, at 17,00o Democratic State Chairman Vertrees (reguar) alleges that frauds have been committed by the republicans in east Tennessee, but the opposition say there Is absolutely no grounds for such a charge. It is not yet possible to give totals on the poll for governor. The leg islature is very close. both sides claim ing 1t. The democrats claim 19 out of B senators and 49 out of 99 representatives, with a chance for one or two more.
 The socialist candidate for Congress in the Sixth district received 1713 votes in Davidson county, but his vote in other counties was light. The socialist vote for governor in the county, however, was less than 200. The socialist vote in the state is but little if any greater than in 190S

FLORIDA DEFEATS
 THE DRY TICKET

Jacksonville, Fla, November 9.-With three-fourths of the vote of the state reported, the majority against the pro- posed constitutional amendment prohib- iting the sale of intoxicating liquors in Florida is 3204 This will probably be increased, rather than diminished. as many of the counties now under prohi- bition, secured through the local option law. which were expected to give heavy najorities for the amendment, are giv- ing majorities against it.
 Pleasant A. Holt, manager of the To- cal option campaign, claims that the amendment will be defeated by major ity of 620o. C. l.. Collins. manager of the prohibition campaign. is not giving any figures, but is talking of contest ing the election. which is taken as an equivalent to a concession of defeat on the face of the returns.
 The total vote will probably bo the largest in the history of the state. ex- ceeding 5000. The one-fourth vote not reported is in sections not easily reached by telegraph and will probably not be reported in full for several days.

HARMON ROLLS UP
 LEAD OF 100000

Cleveland, O.. November 9.-Gov. Judson Harmon, democrat, rolled up a plurality of 9S,000 over Warren G . Harding, republican candidate for gov ernor, according to figures compiled by the Plain Dealer tonight from S5 of the SS counties in Ohio. That when the official count is complete Harmon will have over 100000 plurality Is extreme ly probable. for in vinton, Fulton and Clinton counties, which are missing, Harding is credited with the full vote given to Andrew L. Harris, republic an candidate in 1908. Throughout the state. however, outside of Cincinnati, Harding has run far behind Harris.
 In the S5 counties included in the count Harmon leads by 101.0S5 votes and giving Harding the full Harris vote in the remaining three would make Harmon's margin 97,9S3
 The success of the remainder of the democratic state ticket is no longer in doubt.

Gulley republican candidate for secretary of state. took the lead over Dillingham;, democrat, and for time it was thought the repub- lican ticket might come out victorious.

New York, November 9.--The polit- ical upheaval of Tuesday was followed today by a general survey of the field which disclosed with greater detail and precision Just what results had been ac complished.
 Late calculations on the national House of Representatives based on complete but unofficial returns, show that the democrats will have a safe working majority of 30.
 The outcome Of the United States Senate is not definitely settled. The republicans are assured of IT new sen ators which with 34 hold-over senators gives them a total of 51. The demo- crats are assured of Is new senators. which with 25 hold-overs, gives them total of 40. One senatorship is still In doubt. namely, that of MT. Carter In Montana. where there is prospect of tie.
 These determined totals. however leave a republican majority in the Sen ate as folows:
 Total membership 92. necessary to majority 47. republicans 50, democrats 40, doubtful 2

Taft Feel. the Defeat

Washington, November 9.-Feeling keenly the blows dealt to the great party of which he is the head, Presi- dent Taft returned to Washington this morning from Cincinnati where he cast his ballot in a lost cause. He had no comment to make upon the result and went directly to the White House. where 1t was stated he probably would not break his silence concerning political nffairs until after his return from Pan ana, whither he starts tomorrow
 Disappointed as is the President at the loss of the House of Representa- tives to the democrats, his political advisers are pinning their hope to the fact that a three months session of the present republican majority in both branches of Congress Is about to begin It is known that in that brief period the administration intends to crowd as much of it's legislative programme as there seems the remotest chance of enactment.
 Much of the proposed legislation which will be urged upon Congress in the Presidents forthcoming messa ge which will be of a progressive charac- acter, and. 1t is said, the prospects are excellent for harmony in the repub- lican ranks. An effort will be made in the short session to pass as much pro gressive legislation as persible be- cause of the effect which such measures would have upon the fortunes of the present administration two years hence,
