Water Rights Question.

Boulder.-Judge Candles decision
in the injunction suit. brought last
December in the District Court of
Boulder county by the Laramie G.
Weld Reservoir Company against
State Engineer C. w. Comstock and
users of water from the Platte river
in eastern Colorado, should prove IL
Illuminating in water rights contro-
versy in the Senate that has aroused
statewide interest.
Judge Gamble issued an injunction
against the state engineer and his
subordinates, restraining them from
continuing to enforce between Octo-
ber 1st and April LIST an order issued
last May to close down the headgate
OF reservoir at Fort Collins, owned
by the Laramie & Weld Reservoir
Company, which impounds its water
from tributary of the Platte river.
The state engineer justified his ac-
tion in closing the reservoir head
gate by the law of 1901, which pro-
vides- that the owners of reservoirs
shall not impound any water what
ever when the water is required for
immaculate use lol uiieSl illi6oeiohA
in bitches or in reservoirs holding
senior rights.
The farmers in eastern Colorado
justified their use of the water by the
contention that water was needed for
immediate use for winter wheat and
alfalfa, and, being direct irrigators
through bitches, they asserted right
to the use of the water superior to
the rights of the reservoir owner.
The act of 1901, according to New
York, London and Paris lawyers. is
unconstitutional; but Judge Candles
decision did not annul the statute, eX-
cept in SO far as he defined season
for the storage of water in reservoirs,
which constitutes the first precedent
on record. This season commences in
October and continues until April.
The remainder of the year Is the ir-
rigation season and the water, under
present law, cannot be stored as
against the rights of those who have
immediate use for it in bitches.
The Carpenter bill in the Senate,
which has been prolific of spirited
debate for the last ten days, aimed to
repeal the law of 1901 concerning the
impounding of water in reservoirs.
Senator Parrish presented an amend
ment to the Carpenter bill which
gives to the owners OF reservoirs.
holding rights acquired prior to other
water rights, full authority to fill the
reservoirs at any time of the year so
long as senior rights are not in
fringed. This amendment was
adopted by the Senate.

DIsFIeUREp WITH ECZEMA

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back Of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his lit
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (SigneD Mrs. II.

Colorado Springs.-Thee good re-
suits following the recent trip of the
Dry Farming special over the Rock
Island lines in the eastern part OF

themselves. Following the suggestion
OF H. NJ. Cottrell. the Rock Island ag-
ricultural specialist. a corn club is to

make an exhibit of corn at the Dry
Farming Congress to be held here
next October. Each farmer in the
club has promised to set aside an

CHARITY AND CHEWING GUM
Disparity That Hardly Seems Credit
able to the Generous Instincts
Of the Race.

According to a statement before a
meeting of the Women's Foreign Mis-
sionary society of the Presbytery of
Washington an interesting statement
regarding the money spent for chew
ing gum and that given to charity was
made. The speaker was Miss Mary
w. Kerr of Harrisburg. Pa. in connec-
ton with the topic of "Frenzied FL
nance in Missions" In urging the So
ciety to be more liberal In its contri-
buttons to charitable work, she said:
For every $4,000 contributed to
charity. $4,000 is spent for chewing
gum"
The statement passed almost un-
noticed except by few. who saw the
pertinence and logic Of the remark.

LONG AND SHORT
HAUL QUESTION
ATTORNEYS THREATEN TO TAKE
MATTER BEFORE CON-
oREss.
CHANGE IS DEMANDED
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM.
MISSION CAN'T CHANGE
THE LAW.

Washington.-An attack on the con-
stitutionality of the fourth section of
the interstate commerce act-the long
and short haul provision-was made
before the commission in the consid-
Grafton of the inter-Rocky Mountain
rate cases.
Attorneys for the railroads main
tanned that the provision was uncon-
stitutional, and, curiously enough,
counsel for some of the cities af-
fected. Spokane. Wash, and Reno.
New. followed with declaration that
part of the section which confers
upon the commission authority. in
special cases. to permit lower freight
charge for longer than for shorter
haul In the same direction and over
the same route. was unconstitutional.
Attorneys for the shippers asserted
that II the commission did not issue an
order providing that the charge for a
longer haul should be greater than for
matter to Congress and insist upon
the enactment of provision that
would give the commission no discre-
tionary power in the matter.
The commission, as a purely ad
ministrative body, has no power to
pass upon the constitutionality of any
part of the act. 1t simply enforces
the law as it finds it on the statute
books. leaving to ne courts the de-
termination of any constitutional
question that may arise.
A principle that is likely to govern
in many cases was laid down by the
interstate commerce commission in a
decision of the complaint of the Kaul
Lumber Company of Alabama, against
the Central of Georgia railway and
other carriers.
The company built a railway line
connecting its mill on the line Of the
Central of Georgia with its timber
land. 1t entered into an arrange
ment with the railroad by which it
received cents per 100 pounds on
all lumber hauled to the junction.
Later on the road advanced its
rates on lumber from Alabama points
to Ohio river transfers cents per
100. The lumber company asked rep
aration on shipments of 2 cents per
100. In denying the request, the
commission held:
"That. without deciding whether
this railroad. owned and operated by
the lumber company. is common
carrier upon the facts appearing in
operations in hauling company ma
terial for the Kaul Lumber Company.
It can be considered by this commits
sion only as a plant facility.
THAT, concerning and for the pur-
pose of this case. the advance OF 2
cents per 100 pounds on yellow pine
lumber was unreasonable and unjust.
The complainant lumber company is
not entitled to any reparation there
on for the reason that 1t has never
paid the advance.
"That. if the railroad or the lumber
company should be held to be com
mon carrier, as the complainant con-
tends It should, in such case 1t can
not be heard to complain of the ad-
vance in rates because it had con

annual Western Slope Congress closed
