OWNERSHIP OF
SEEPAGE WATER
JUDGE GARRIeUEs HOLDS THAT
1T BELONGS TO THE
DEVELOPER.
CAN CARRY IT BY RIVER
DECISION, OF GREAT IMPORT
ANcE TO MANY FARMERS, WILL
GO TO SUPREME COURT.

Greeley.-Of great Importance not
to the irrigationists all over the state.
was the ruling of Judge Garrigues
Monday that seepage water belonged
to those who develop it, not to the
river, and that the owner of the seep-
age water has right to use the river
as a conduit in transferring the water
to other land.
The decision means the saving OF
thousands to farmers who have built
drains and bitches for conserving and
running seepage water for use on dry
land. 1t was made in the case of G.
H. Ramsey against State Engineer
Jaycox. Ramsey claims the right to
certain water gathered on the farm Of
James Barber of Evans by means of a
ditch which he says drained from
bluffs above the farm. Jaycox held
the seepage water was part Of the
river and should be turned into the
river as a part of its flow
Judge Garrigues held: THAT tn,
water in the contention is not nat
ural stream or watercourse. The land
originally was dry and arid. From ar
tificial applications Of water, through
the soil above. by building bitches and
reservoirs, the land below became
seeped. There was no channel for its
escape prior to the construction of the
ditch. The owner reclaimed the land
by ditching it, and sold the water to
the plaintiff. The water was not put
into the river with no intention Of re-
capturing it. but was put there for car
riage, and for the express purpose of
diverting it. When the owners of the
land drained it, they had a right to
sell the water they had developed, un-
less such water was tributary to the
stream. On the north side of the Pou-
DIRE are many valuable farms being ir
rigated solely from seepage and waste
water streams. The ditch rights which
were originally used have been sold
and transferred to new land below the
ditch, and if such waste and seepags
water cannot be taken, but must be al
lowed to find its wy to the river.
much valuable property now depend
ing on it will be ruined. There is moth
ing in the talk that the building o:
seepage bitches will dry up the river.
The ditch in this contention does not
interfere in any way with the body of
underground water sustained and hold
ing up the water level of the river"
Judge Garrigues held that there was
But one question in the case: Was tho
water tributary Of the river? He
held that 1t was not, but declared that
one cannot deplete streams by draw
ing water away from them or inter
cept an underground channel going
into the stream, or build bitches along
river banks to intercept water. The
case will be appealed.

France win Lionize Roo.evelt,

Par1S.-M. Lizard, vice rector OF the
University of Paris, has been advised
officially that Theodore Roosevelt will
reach Paris about April 14th and
that the length of his stay will prob
ably not exceed three or four days.
The French government is anxious
to receive the former President of the
United States with the highest hon.
ors. French society is prepared to
lionize him; the literary and scien-
tific bodies desire to entertain him,
and the American colony would like to
give a grand banquet in his honor.
But Roosevelt has allowed it to be
understood that he desires to avoid
any appearance of ostentation, and
that he will preserve, as far as pos
sible, merely the role Of man OF
learning, in which capacity he accept
xorbonne. This invitation was extend
ed through Ambassador Jesserand
while Roosevelt still occupied the
White House.
