Reservoir and Ditch Priority.

Denver.-Shall the owners of reser
voirs, the water rights of which are
older than the rights of the direct irri-
gator through ditch, have the power
to run water into their reservoirs for
storage purposes during the time that
it is needed for irrigation; or, stated
in terms of law, shall reservoir rights,
like ditch rights, rest on the rule of
priority? This was the question with
which lawyers and practical farmers
wrestled in a special meeting, held in
the house chamber under the auspices
of the agriculture and irrigation com
mittee of the Senate, and called for
the purpose of discussing the merits
of bill introduced by Senator Car

Importance between Denver and the
Wyoming line and which will repre-

10000, 600, is promised to the people
of northern Colorado by George Peck
of Paris, if they will invest one per
cent of that amount, 100000, to be
used for the construction of the first
five miles of the road, after which the
remainder is to be available as fast
as five-mile parts of it are completed.
The first authoritative statement
relative to the project was issued Sat
urday. The principal towns along the
route are Denver, Greeley, Eaton,
Ault, Pierce, Windsor. Fort Collins,
Loveland Estes Park, Berthoud.
Longmont and Boulder. The line will
run through the coal mining sections
touching at all of the camps.
The capital is ready, Peck says, IL

has been in this section for more than
two months compiling a report which
has been submitted to the financiers
of Paris with which he is allied The
report shows that the total population
which will be served approximates

been placed in operation have resulted
in enormous gains in this direction.

MEXICO IS
REASSURED
HER MINISTER'S FEEL THERE IS
COOPERATION BETWEEN
TAFT AND DIAZ.
TENSION IS LESSENED
AMERICAN WARSHlPS WILL COAL
AT MEXICAN PORTS AND
THEN WITHDRAW.

New York.-The Mexican ambassa-
dor here and the Mexican minister OF
finance have received assurances from
Washington which convinced them
shat there is sincere cooperation be-
tween the administration of President
Taft and that of President Diaz.
1t is not professed that all tension
has been relieved, and while Ameri,
can troops remain in force on the
Mexican border, it is admitted some
tension will continue, but apprehen-
sion was appreciably lessened by two
pieces of news.
First in Importance was long tele-
gram to Ambassador de La Barra from
the state department announcing that
the American warships assigned to
patrol duty on the Pacific and gulf
coasts of Mexico had been ordered to
call at Mexican ports only for coal and
then to withdraw promptly.
This action is reassuring TO Senior
Limantour. In recent interview he
said he could only consider the pres
ence of American men-of-war in MeXi-
can waters so far distant from their
base at Galveston as part OF an un-
necessary effort to impress on Mexico
the power of the United States.
His personal protest was promptly
followed by official representations
and he now expresses himself as
very much gratified that the request
of his government had been so prompt
ly granted"
