IMPORTANT WATER CASE
DECIDED BY HIGH COURT
u. S. Supreme Court Decides Fam
Gus Rickey-Milier & Lux Case.
Decision Will Have Far Reaching
Effect

In the case OF the Hickey Land &
Cattle Company against Miller and
Lux, copy OF the recent decision
by the United States Supreme Court.
briefly mentioned a few days ago. has
been received The decision is of
especial interest and importance in
that it establishes the sovereignty
OF States in the matter OF water
rights in streams that cross state
lines
On this account the decision is like
ly to be the cause of an action By the
State of Nevada against the State of
California TO allow Nevada a portion
Of the waters of all streams that rise
in the mountains OF California and
flow into Nevada II is believed here
that California will not be slow 10
enact laws governing the water Of the
interstate streams. According to the
United States Supreme Court decis-
ion the case may be tried even in Ne
vada or California but in either event
the case must be tried according to
the laws of California. the state in
which the water rises

same river in California. 10 determine
water rights
The decision says, III effect, that a
man using water OF interstate
streams in Nevada must have law
of California mpelling the citizen
Of California to let the water flow in
to Nevada, and a law OF Nevada per
mitting him to take it after it gets
there
Both the law and the Court in
which the case can be tried and de
cided The decision overrules a long
line Of rulings which laid down the
common law and tended to wipe ont
state lines wherever streams flowed
over state lines Under those rulings
the laws laid down in the territories
before the state lines were drawn
were held good
As there is now law in California
which compe1s the citizens of that
state TO allow any portions of waters
rising there to flow out of the state,
and as Nevada must have such law
before her citizens can have water
rights 10 streams rising in, that state
are masters Of the situation

Italy Wants
Information

The various County Clerks of the
State are receiving communications
from the Governors office requesting
that there be forwarded to Carson
City list of all Italian subjects who
have been sentenced in the District
Courts Of the various counties and
the cause Of the imprisonment This
request is made from the Washing
the Department of State and is a
move to obtain data from all over the
country for the Italian Government
For years the Italian Government
has furnished this information OF
American subjects sentenced in that
country and asks that the courtesy be
returned.
The Italian residents of this state
are Of a peacable kind and it is be-
lieved that the number that have been
before the courts will be very small
in comparison with the other nation
alities.

Nevada Lands

That the people of the East are
turning their eyes toward Nevada is
plainly evidenced by letter received
to-day by Chairman Davis of the
Publicity Commission from COM
pany in Chicago which inquiries for

chase all the way from 5000 to $4,000
acres of Nevada land for farming

desire to purchase undeveloped lands
at less than $40 an acre, unirrigated
lands being in this class Other un-
developed lands where there are wat
er rights will also be considered
Mr. Davis of the Commission stat
ed this afternoon that ne has taken
the matter up with the State Land
Office and also desires all land own
ers who would like TO dispose of
their holdings to notify him regard
ing the lands they wish to sell and

COMMITTEES APPOINTED
ON COUNTY DIVISION
Data Concerning Adjourning Coun-

Early Date

Representative from Silver City,
Fernley and Dayton met ~ the tenn
porary court house at Dayton Satur-
day evening to consider the propos-
ed separation OF the northern portion
of Lyon County from the present
geographical lines, and adding it to
some of the adjace mt counties in this
locality. The meeting was an enthus-
iastic one, and after discussing the
matter pro and con at some length,
the outcome was the appointment Of
several committees to make an eX-
haustive inquiry into the financial
condition, bonded Indebtedness, tax
rate, etc, OF some OF the neighboring
counties likely to be affected by the
proposed change, and also TO prepare
a statement of the taxable property
located in the section OF Lyon coun-
ty that would be sliced off the pres
ent map OF the county, in case the
move to do SO is carried through To
a successful finish. (

Early Date. V & T May Loose
Southern Traffic

Mr.. Frank II Fogel, one of the in
tercsted parties in the Copper Belt
Railroad, that runs from Wabuska to
the new town of Mason, is spending
some time in this city, where he is
looking over land matters and rights
of way for the railroad
Arrange gements have been made to
Immediately extend the road from
Mason 10 a new town which will be
known as Smthvile at the upper end
OF Smith Valley. At the present time
grading and track laying is going on.
About two thousand feet of track is
bein gplaced each day 1t is expected
TO have the track at the terminal at
the end OF the present year or soon
after that date The grading is prac
tically finished as far as the proposed
terminal
A contract has been let to Paddy
Conway to grade new wagon road
from Smithville to a point the other
side of the Fallon ranch on the Bodie
md Sweetwater wagon road The
grading of the wagon road is to be
IF such nature that rails can be laid

act hastily or ill-adviscdly in mat
ter of such great importance.

cial condition of the counties that

the people of the valleys south and
east of here. At the present time
practically all the freight for Bodic.
Aurora, Sweetwater, Masonic and
even Mono Lake goes through th,
city to Minden and is then freighted
TO the points designated. By the
completion of tine Copper Belt road
as far as the proposed point in Upper
Smith Valley a saving of at least 35
miles on freighting is cut out. The
grading of wagon road as proposed
cuts out one of the hardest hills on
the road and will render the hauling
of larger loads by the freight teams
The V. & T. people have run
number of surveys through the sec
tion south of this and Carson Valley,
but no attempt at construction has
been undertaken 1t would appear
from the facts SO far shown that the
people of the local road have slept on
her rights and the Copper Belt peo-
pie have their hands out for the
plcklngs.
Since the opening of the Copper
Belt road a new field has been OPEN
ed and more freight and passenger
service has been picked up than was
expected 1t is believed by Mr. Fo-
gel and others that with the extern
ion OF the road that practically all
he freight for the southern section
will come into their hands The gen
leman expects to return to the scene
If activity as soon as he finishes his
business in this city.
