In this suit the substance of the

the owner Of certain placer mining
claims in the Virtue Mining district in
Baker county, Oregon, subject only to
the paramount title Of the United
States. The predecessors in interest
Of the plaintiffs about the year 1884
appropriated the water of a running
stream known as Quartz gulch by
damming the stream on the land now
claimed by the defendant Gertrude r.,
Blackmon and constructing therefrom
a ditch by which they conducted the
water about two miles to the placer
grounds now owned by the plaintiff.
These placers are valuable for the
gold contained there and the water Is
necessary for the proper operation of
the mine The plaintiffs claim by
mesne conyeyances from those prede-
cessors in interest and assert that
they are now the owners of the ditch

and the water right They further
aver that about March 12, 1910, the
defendants went upon the said ditch,
cut the bank and turned the water
back into the natural channel of the
stream that they threaten to con-
tinue to and, unless restrained, will
do so all to the irreparable damage
of the plaintiffs. They ask for a de-
cree against the defendants enjoining
them from interfering in any way
with the maintenance and operation
of the ditch. The two defendants deny
the allegations of the complaint eX-
cept that the defendant Gertrude e.
Blackmon admits having prevented
plaintiff from eXcavating and con-
structing a ditch through her prem
ises and admits having turned the
water out of the ditch and down the

quite ably collated by Chief Justice
Johnston.
Another view of the subject of ap-
preparation of water may be found
upon the consideration of section 6673
L. o. L., as follows: All bitches now
constructed, or hereafter to be con-
structed, for the purpose of utilizing
the waste, spring, or seepage waters
of the state, shall be governed by the
same laws relating to priority of right
as those bitches constructed for the
purpose of utilizing the waters of run
ming streams; provided, that the per-
son upon whose lands the seepage or
spring waters first arise, shall have
the right to the use of such waters"
The section is a substantial copy of
section 1869, Mills Annotated Statutes
of Colorado, from which, evidently,
our legislature has taken the section
Of our code above quoted and which
was construed by the supreme court
of Colorado in the case of Denver,
etc, Ry Co. V. Dotson, 3S Pac. 322.
In that case the plaintiff constructed
on government land ditch by which
he diverted the water from a certain
canyon and used it for irrigating land
occupied by himself The canyon was
not a running stream but was fed en-
tirely by the rainfall in the surround
ing hills By the use of the water so
collected the plaintiff irrigated large
portion of his land The court there
held that the Appropriation was a
valid one, Notwithstanding the fact
that the source of the appropriation
was not running stream. This con-
struction of the statute appears to
be reasonable and has our approval.
In the case at bar it is not pre-
tended that the water in question had
their rise upon the land of the de-
fendant, but only that the Quartz
gulch passes through a portion of the
land, so that the defendants are not
within the proviso allowing the per-
sons upon whose lands the seepage or
springs waters first arise to the entire
use of the said waters. Hence, if il
were not clearly established that
Quartz gulch was water course fol-
the purpose of appropriation still
unuer our statute, water flowing there
even from surface water collected il
the place would be the subject of ap-
preparation.
Again, the right of the defendants
prescribing in the name of the defen
dant Gertrude E. Blackmon, dates
only from September 10, 1908. Sh'
entered upon the land under the ac
of congress of March 8, 1877, chapter
107, 19 Statutes at Large 377, Fed

----sr-----v----- LETTERS TO EDITOR
Black Belt of Alabama

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 The black lime land region of Ala bama should soon be to Alabama what the lime land, blue grass region is to Kentucky. A region of beautiful farms, devoted largely to live stock, luxuriant pastures, alfalfa meadows fields of corn and small grain and the additional ad- vantage of small areas in cotton cultlvat- ed on the intensive plan.
 The advent of the boil weevil will shake the large land owners loose from the ten- ant system and cause them to sell off their lands in smaller tracts to good white farmers, who will inaugurate a new system of farming in middle Alabama, greatly to the general interest of the state.
 This will lead up to establishing pack ing houses and grain elevators in Bir- mingham and Montgomery. to be filled by the products of the fertile lands of the black belt counties, to supply the city population and Jess productive sections thus keeping in Alabama the hundreds of thousands of dollars now annually sent to the states to the north and west for food products.

 are buying up the black belt lands as fast
 as they are offered. They realize that
 these are by far the most valuable snd
 the cheapest lands in the south, and they
 know 1t will be only short time when
 these lands will be selling for many times
 the price at which they are now oHefed'
 The boil weeyil will not make these lands
 decline in price, as some persons believe,
 for the reason that most of the owners
 of these lands are out of debt now and can afford to hold their lands and put them on the market gradually, and as each tract Is sold to good white farmer 1t makes the adjoining land more in de-
 rnand for other good white farmers, Sumter will be the first black belt coun- ty to deal with the change In farming methods so long in vogue in this region

 realizing what is coming. have pushed tick eradication so vigorously tho last two years that a great number of the farms are now rid of the tick hindrance to profit able animal hushandry and the entire county will be cleared of this p-st ly the latter part of next summer. IL Is
 highly important that this work of erad- icating the tick pest should be vigorous ly pushed in all the black belt counties. especially as these counties will be most affected by the boil weevl and will be forced into live stock raising and diver sified farming to, get adequate incomes from the farms. This is a matter that
 should have the united effort of the Bu-
 reau of Animal Industry. the comnis- sioner of agriculture and the commits i,,,,r ,txyro ion, I-x-ar should be made In every way now to offer Inducements to get in good white farmers l from the states to the north of us. We must have them to maintain the prosper | ity of the state. when weevils overrun tho state, especially that portion of the sta,e
 where we have only colored tenants. The
 latter will be totally incapable to then | make crops on 8 profitable basis. They will be forced to work under intelligent | supervision or quit.

 on these lands they will best succeed any
