wish that the last ceremonies be not
public.
The pail bearers, both honorary and
active, are from among Senator
Hughes personal friends and are not
known outside of Denver.
The death of this illustrious man
cast deep gloom over the city and
all flags were hung at half mast where
they will remain until after the funeral
He was recognized as one of the
brightest and ablest men in the United
States senate and his fame as an at.
torney will live for years.
He leaves several children of whom
Gerald Hughes is the best known.
Messages of consolation and regret
from nearly every leading man in the
country have been received by the
family. He was tireless worker. He
was member of the American Bar
association. American Institute of Min
ing Engineers and the Colorado His
torical society
He was born in Kingston, Mo-, in
1888 of prominent family. He was
graduated from the University of Mis-
souri, in 1873 and became instructor in
Richmond college, but abandoned this
forNlaw and was professor, of mining
law in the Harvard Law school from
1908 to 1906. He declined to be a
candidate for any office until he was
endorsed by the state convention for
United States senator in 1908. He was
a life long democrat and a brilliant
public speaker.

Judge Mccall Decides Against the
Western Slope as to Grand
River Water
CASE WILL BE APPEALED

Judge Mccall has at last passed up
on the right of claimants of water to
transfer the water of natural stream
from The natural watershed to the
other side of the watershed or to di-
vert it to flow in the opposite direction
from which nature intended, and his
decision is not at all pleasing to the
western slope
When it became known few months
ago that the Henrylyn Irrigation dis
trict was about to mature its adiudica-
tlon to large amounts of water from
the Williams Fork of the Grand river
and divert that water to lands in the
vicinity of Denver an injunctive suit
was brought before Judge Mccall to
prevent such action. This suit was
brought by the Grand Valley Irriga-
tion company, represented by Ben
Griffith. Coloradb's present attorney
general, and former Attorney General
n. C, Miller of Grand Junction
AS stated before the decision of
Judge Mccall is a disappointment 10

view of the government S recent ap-
provas of the. Highline.sproje ojects-near
Grand Junction as with that project
in operation and additional land which
is from year to year being put under
irrigation in the Grand valley it is be
lieved that every drop of the flow of
the Grand river will be needed to ir'
rigate lands of this slope and that
none should be diverted to water east
ern slope lands.
1t is quite probable that an appeal
will be taken from Judge Mccall S
decision. The Denver Times of last
Monday gives the following account
of the decision:
A decision bearing on water rights
in Colorado in the case of the Grand
Valley Irrigation company against the
Intermountain Water company, was
rendered in the district court of Grand

CURTIss FLIES FROM WATER.
Aviator Solves Another Problem
After Many Experiments.

San Diego. Cal, January 26-
For the first time in the history of
aviation. an aCroplaue rose from the
surface of the water to-day. sailed
about and returned To the starting
place, where it landed on the wa-
ter as easily as a gull.
This feat was accomplished by
Glenn II. Curtiss in his especially
equipped machine on San Diego
Bay. The machine covered a dis
tance of about two miles and the
Tight was made after almost two
weeks OF experimenting to devise
special appliances to float the ma
chine and allow it to attain suffi-
cient speed on the surface of the
water before lifting.
Botn the army and the navy were
represented at these experiments.
When the aeroplaue was brought
out and floated on the shallow wa
ter between Coronado and North
Island it was equipped with hydro
planes and a few arrangements of
front surfaces. Curtiss climbed in
to the seat and started the pow
erful motor. The aeroplane scud-
ded up the bay NJ Il mile clip for
a quarter of mile. then lifted out
of the water and rose TO height
of fifty feet.
After remaining in tn eair one
minute and twenty-five seconds. fly
ing half mile. Curtiss alighted
and turned around as easily as a
motor boat. Putting on full pow
er, this time TO q height of 100 feet,
sailed over the bay a mile from the
starting place, circled around and
landed in front of the hanger on
the shore
Il have succeeded in solving the
one problem the Secretary of the
Navy regarded as the most diff
cult" said Curtiss, "and the one
thing that makes the aeron':~ .
more valuable to the navy.
Il can start an aeroplane," con-
tinued Curtiss, as he stepped from
his machine, from the water along
side a war ship. make my trip and
return. alight alongside and be
hoisted aboard. This / believe Is
of great Importance to the navy"
