COLORADO STATE NEWS

Weld Reservoir Company against
State Engineer c. w. Comstock and
users of water from the Platte river
in eastern Colorado, should prove il
Eliminating in a 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 list and April 1st an order issued
last May to close down the headgate
of a 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-
ton 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
immediate use for direct irrigation
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, eY-
cept in so far as he defined a 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 a 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.
