COURT AIMS BLOW
FOR ARID LANDS
Judge William w. Morrow Up
holds ConstitutioiaIity of Fed
eral Reclamation Act

Judge William w. Morrow upheld
the constitutionality of the reclama-
tion act under which the federal gov
ernment is establishing enormous stor-
age reservoirs and irrigation systems
for the reclamation of arid lands
throughout the west, in an opinion
handed down yesterday in the United
States circuit court of appeals The
opinion was rendered in the case of
David e. Burley, who appealed. on a
writ of error, from the decision of
District Judge Frank S. Dietrich, rem
dered in the United States circuit court
for the district of Idaho.
The controversy arose in an action
brought by the United States govern
ment under the reclamation act of
June II, 1902, to condemn certain lands
belonging to Burley. These lands were
located on the floor of the Deer fiat
reservoir site, part of the Payette-
Boise project, which was designed to
supply water for irrigating and re-
claiming $4,000 acres of land in Ada
and Canyon counties. The land which
was to be condemned would have been
entirely submerged upon the compile
tion of the reservoir.
BUCKS UNCLE SAM
Burley attacked the right of the fed
eral government to construct the irri-
cation project and condemn his land.
contending that the water to be stored
was to be supplied to lands not owned
by the government, and in which the
government had no interest, but which
were owned by private individuals
Burley based his objections upon the
decision of the supreme court of the
United States in the Kansas Colorado
case. But Judge Dietrich, before
whom the case was tried. held that the
doctrine laid down in the Kansas
Colorado case was not applicable in
this case
The higher court held with Judge
eral government had a right to coop
crate with private owners in the con-
summation of it's plan to supply water
to arid lands still held by it.
The fact that lands in private owner
ship would be greatly benefited did not
alter the fact that the project was pri-
marily for the reclamation of govern
ment land, and therefore within the
scope of its powers under the act.
IMPORTANT TO WEST
The Importance of the case to the
west is striking. in view of the enor-
nous sums already expended by the
federal government in establishing rec
lamation projects throughout the west,
and as congress at its recent session
appropriated S20,000,000 to complete
various irrigation projects now in
course of construction.
The opinion was concurred in by
United States Circuit Judges william
B. Gilbert and Erskine NJ Ross John
G. Willis appeared for the plaintiff,
while the government was represented
by United States Attorney c. H. Lingen-
felte and Attorney B. z. Stoutemeyer.

COLE BACK FROM

By r. R. L'HoMMEDIEu

Captain F. W. Cole. vice president
ana treasurer OF the Morrison-Cole mo-
tor car company, the new agents for
the Cadilioc car north of Tehachapi.
has arrived in san Francisco after a
visit Of thorough Investigation of the
principal automobile factories Of the
United States. Cole is more than en-
thusiastic over the outlook for the
coming season. In speaking of the
conditions he said yesterday:
The automobile owner and the
oealer who has not been through the
plants in the east has no conception
whatsoever Of the magnitude of the
industry. ] felt that I was CONVEX
SAINT with conditions before I left. but

far ] was sadly mistaken II is utterly

tuoe Of the whole thing without actu-
ally seeing it. Factories are running

who are still skeptical about the prac-
tlcabilty Of the motor car CONNER

OF San Fra ncisco or the Pacific coast
y no pays lOl4 10 any extent for Qr2X
age that il would pay him 10 times
over within the next year to travel
through the east and the factories to
see what has already been accom-
phshed by commercial firms who have
adopted the self-propelled vehicle for
commercial purposes and the amount
Of money that has been put into the
plants for the building of the same.
II viii mean that if he makes such a
trip he viii return only to discard the
horse and install the motor. The ex-
perimental stage it past and the self
propelled vehicle is a thing of reality.
Before 1 left for the east there was
8 feeling that there was a depression
in the money market or to be frank,
there was slight feeling of hard
times. From what I have seen in the
east this is nothing more than tran
silent case Of the blues. Big capital is
being put into the automobile business,

BRITISH Law CITED
TO FREE u. R. men
Brief for Ford, Mullally and ABB
bOtt Filed in Habeas
Corpus Case

In support of the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings by which Tirey L. Ford,
Thornwell Mutually and William NJ Abb
dismissal of the indictments charg-
ing them with bribing the Ruef- -Schmitz
supervisors, Attorneys Garret McEner-
ney, A. A. and Stanley Moore filed their
final briefs with the supreme court yes
terday. District Attorney Fickert has
three days in which to place his final
brief on record. and upon these papers
and the oral arguments already held,
the decision of the justices will be
based.
Yesterdays briefs go back to the
time of Charles II of England, in
whose reign (1679) the habeas corpus
act was brought to its present per-
fection. Tracing the decisions of the
British courts the briefs set forth that
any individual denied the right to a
speedy trial is justified in appealing TO
the highest court of law. The highest
courts in England, it is shown, fire.
quently exercised such jurisdiction.
In attempting to put to rest the
doubt which arose at the oral argu-
ment last week as to whether or not
application for a writ of mandate
would have been the proper mode of
procedure, the brief quoted in full the
opinion of Chief Justice Beatty in a
former decision in a similar case, which
explicitly declared that either habeas
corpus or mandamus proceedings would
be proper
The relevancy of the Schmitz decision
was also discussed In this case, the
brief declared, the supreme court de-
clined to issue a writ of habeas cor
pus because Schmftz sought to ques-
tion the validity of the indictments. The
United Railroads cases, it is alleged, are
based solely on the argument that the
defendants were refused speedy trial

= - the testers of the
Olds motor works
have formed a squad for the prevention
of the destruction of highways over
which they are wont to travel while
in the discharge of their duty. The
testers are usually allotted a piece OF
road, making a circuit, over which they
drive with every chassis which is to be
tried out. Under the direction of the
chief tester some of the roads near the
Osds motor works have been dragged
several times this season. Reports
show that they are in<better condition
than ever before and the farmers along
the route, instead of being antagonistic
toward the motor cars, welcome them
and are free to admit that the drivers
are doing the square thing so far as
the roads are concerned. On the other
hand the testers lose no time, as the
drags are used while they are making
their regular circuits, and meanwhile
the machines are being given the work
required of them before they are ready
for shipment, being thorough test in
both strength and roadability.
