Lake City, May 16:-We had a
nice shower of rain Saturday night.
1t was certainly very much needed,
although the amount was not
sufficient to wet the ground as II
should be wetted.
Beans are beginning to move
right along now. In the neighbor'
hood of a thousand baskets went off
Monday night.
Mr. and Mrs Earl Culbreth OF
Philadelphia are here for several
weeks. Mr. Culbreth came week
ago and Mrs Culbreth arrived Sat.
urday night. Mrs Culbreth declares
that the climate she finds here is
simply delightfully."- cool in compari'
son with the suffocating heat she
left in Philadelphia. Even North
ern people are gradually finding out
that there is good reason to accept
the theory that the Garden of Eden
was in South Carolina.
Miss Lutte Singletarv returned
home Wednesday from school at
Red Springs, N c.
Mr. and Mrs Stewart Starr are in
town from North Carolina, having
arrived Saturday night. We under
stand that, owing to the great un-
healthfulness of the place they were
at, they left with intention of not
returning, and that they will stay
here.
Mr and Mrs H G Askins have
gone to Bamberg to remain perma-
nently. The former will, we are

two additions to the church.
DR. c. D Rollins is home, driving
his automobile like mad. after a

Foster and Doll, of Denver, have
the contract for the concrete and
piping of the new city filter bed,

meeting Tuesday night. The price is
S7,565. This is exclusive of the
sand and gravel that will be put in
later. This will cost between S3,-
500 and $4,000. 1t was thought
best to delay this work until Aug
ust, when 1t is expected that the
concrete and iron work will be m
ished, as sand win be cheaper at
that time. Most OF the good sand
pits are covered now with water.
Work will begin early in June and
it is expected that the filter bed will
be ready for the sand and gravel in
the middle of August.
Street crossings were given con-
siderable attention by the council
One was ordered laid on the North
side of Eighteenth street at EleT-
enth avenue and on the east side OF
Eleventh evenue. The Denver
Laramie and Burlington railroad
companies were requested to put

street supervisor was ordered to
get bid per foot on cement cross
ings. He was also ordered to look
after the drainage of mud holes at
the corner Of fourteenth street aud
Sixth avenue.

put in a sidewalk in front Of her
property on the west side of Twelfth
avenue and the Joyce estate was

No Remedy at Common Law

at times" says the bill, they
pretend that they are merely chang
ing the places of use of the waters
appropriated within the state of
Colorado for irrigation within the
drainage basin of the Laramie river,
and at other times they allege that
the state of Colorado is the full and
absolute owner and entitled of right
to dispose absolutely of all the
waters found within her borders
regardless of the rights of your
orator and it's citizens"
1t is charged that the amount OF
water diverted and taken away
from the Laramie drainage basin is
largely in excess of any approprla-
tion of water for the irrigation OF
lands in Colorado within the drain
age basin of the Laramie river so
far as such appropriations were
made prior to the rights of Wyom-
ing and its citizens.
1t is averred that Colorado is not
the owner of any of the waters
within that state with the full right
to dispose of as 1t may choose, and
that it has not the right to divert
them from their accustomed chan
nels.
| 1t is pleaded that Wyoming is en-
tirely remedyless, according to the
strict rules of the common law, and
can only have relief in a court of
equity. The supreme court is there
fore appealed to for an Injunction.
Inasmuch as the court adjourned
yesterday for the summer 1t Is not
likely there will be any answer be
fore the opening of the Octobe
term.
