the team jumped, dumping him
off behind. The harrow teeth
caught his trousers and completely
disrobed him from the waist down,
bruising him up considerably.
The lines wound up in the revolv-

that the segregation of land under

ed. Judge Kuykendall was chos-

Judge Kuykendll then stated

read the letter from Congressman
Mondell and the two dispatches
from Senator Warren, all of which

courage the use of the water for
the irrigation Of any lands now
unirrigated on the upper Platte
for the protection of it's rights un-
der the Pathfinder Dam. This
view of the matter is based on a
curious combination of errors of
fact and confusion of thought as
to the relative powers, duties, and
responsibilities of the State and
National Government.
Referring first to the question
of fact, 1 would say; that 1 have
no doubt but what the State auth
critics will be able to demonstrate
that there is a sufficient amount of
unappropriated water available in
the upper Platte for the irrigation
of the three thousand acres of land
applied for under Segregation list
No. 77,'and as the State is primar-
lily responsible to the people who
snail ultimately occupy these
lands, for the protection of their
water rights, the Federal Govern
ment will l assume, give full cred
ance to the decision of the State
officials on this point. The acre
age is small at any rate, and ON
a river the size of the Platte, if
the state authorities are convinced
that they have sufficient water
available, it would be strange in
deed if the Federal Government.
with less information, should
be better situated to jud gethan
the State authorities.
The rights of the Government
to food waters to be stored in the
Pathfinder Dam are of course Of
record, and they can be made
neither more nor less than al
granted by the State under its
authority as recognized by Section
8 Of the Reclamation Law, Thos,
rights must and will be protected
by the State-the Federal Govern
ment has no way of protecting
these rights. 1t may attempt IL
do it by withholding the Carey
Act Segregations or by denyins
ri~ghts-of-way over the public land
but such withholding or denis
could only operate to prevent the
irrigation of some particular tract
or Il certain tract under a giver
law; the same tract or tracts coult
be taken under other laws an,
, 1912-04-18

eventually irrigated; or lands al
ready in private ownership could
be irrigated-so that a deliberate
policy inaugurated by any Bureau
or Department of the Government
ON the theory that it must protect
its own water-rights, is not OILY
in conflict with the spirit Of the
Reclamation Statute but must of
necessity fail of the accomplish
ment of its purpose. Such a pol
icy would be irritating and vexa
tious in the extreme, but it could
not in the nature of things be
effective. The Federal Govern
ment, like private individuals I'M
der irrigation projects. is depend
emit absolutely for the protect
ion of its rights, on the good faith
of the commonwealth-that good
faith should not be questioned.

The Reclamation Service is not
charged with the duty of protect
ing the Governments rights in
the Pathfinder Dam. They are aud
will be protected under the State
laws and administration, and there
fore, even should the State au-
thorities make a mistake in approx
ing a wstsr-right somewhat in ex-
cess of water available in dry years,
the granting of such a right sub
sequent to the Governments right,
could not and would not under our
law. effect the prior right of the
Government, that must still be
protected.

yer at Cheyenne, making adverse
report and permitting showing re-
lative to Wyoming Segregation

The action taken in the letter
seems to be based entirely upon
certain statements, observations
and recommendations of the Re-
clamation Service which your Office
seems to have used for the purpose
of presenting the questions involv-
ed, to the State authorities.
trust how ever, that your letter was
not intended to indicate that your
Office had adopted as its own, the
views and policies expressed and
declared in the letter of the Dire
ctor andthe Reclamation Service,
and 1 desire to respectfully submit
that the same are not founded on
careful or thorough consideration
of the laws governing the situation
Briefly, the Reclamation Ser.
vice assumes that prior to the
building of the Pathfinder dam
the entire normal flow of tn,
North Platte river during the irri
cation season was appropriated
and used, and that the Govern

right to empound and control, b,
the Pathfinder Dam, the entire
food flow of the river; that there
