WOULD DIVERT A RIVER.
coioradoans Plan to Tunnel Great
Divide But Find Opposition.

A fight for a river. which. has been
8opened in the state court OF Celoraoo
at SULPHUR Springs, is likely TO prove
one of the liveliest legal engagements
ever fought out in Colorado The ques-
ton is whether the waters oil the
Grand are to be permitted TO flow as
Heretofore to the west of the Great
Divide and water the valleys through
which il has always flowed. or wheth-
or Natures plain design is to be set

are engaged big water companies or
eanizations of settlers. and the gov
eminent of the United states ltsei.
The discovery was recently made by
Grand Valley irrigators that two COM
panles which have irrigation schemes
in northern counties of the state east
of the Divide had filed claims on the
headwaters of the Grand for tow OF
500 feet and 200 feet per second, ana
that they had gone so far as to put a
ditch across low divide in the noun
tains and had diverted $50 feet per
second. pending their plan to drive
tunnel through the range. It was also
found that another big concern mad
prepared for even more extensive d.
version.
Now it happens that the residents of
the Grand Valley have been planning
to use all the water the Grand can
properly supply to reclaim hundreds
of thousands of acres of land that Is
now useless. One of the plans. in fact
is government affair, having been
initiated under President Roosevelt
and inspected and approved by Sena :
tor Fisher on his recent visit 10 Den
yer. The news of the building OF a
ditch across the divide almost caused a
revolution in Grand Valley. which Is

invasion The matter. however, mas

The pIan of tunneling the Great Di'

out of the Gunnison river project. IN

government under Col. Roosevelt. the

Our Critic FORGOT the Veto.

The other day an esteemed cor
respondent criticised our commenda-
ton OF the salutary sentences pro-
nounced by Judge Beane on liquor law
violators. We published the letoer of
our Thorndke friend. intending to
make editorial explanation to run in
the same issue. The matter was for
gotten until called to mind by another
friend OF the paper who asked if Mr..
Smiths version OF the law were true.
Our Thorndike critic has simply
forgotten that Governor Fernald
vetoed the law 10 which he refers.
Judge Beane has acted wholly within
his legal rights. The original law which
Mr.. Smith thinks was amended in 1909
| is Section l of Chapter 136 of the Re-
vised Statutes. A bill was introduced
in the 1909 Legislature to change this
law. so that. instead of allowing the
prison. the court must in all cases i'm
pose fine and Imprisonment.
wherever the statutes use the words
fine and "imprson." This bill OF
500 passed both branches of the
Legislature. but was vetoed by Gov
ernor Fernald. The veto message is
given on page 1855 of the House Jour
nal and the veto is sustained by vote
| of 81 to As. 1t is also found on page
944 of the Senate Journal. where the
veto is sustained by vote of IA to Q.
The result is that any statute which
provides a penalty of fine and i'm
prisonment, or that of fine and in
addition thereto imprisonment. never
theless leaves the court discretion to
impose fine or Imprisonment"
We would add that as long as Judge
Beane continues to make the rum
business unpopular with those who
come before him, the Kennebec Jour
nal will be glad TO give him credit for
