LINCOLN, May u.-tSpecisll- THE su-

pany and its associates won in the lower

tention on the adjudication Of the state
board of irrigation, which awarded It LILO

the basis Of water for 5000 acres and II
taken would require all the water. prac-
tically, in the river at its low stage and
when most needed for crops. II is
claimed on the ruling OF the supreme
court In the case of William Frank

contention being that the state board OF
Irrigation was right when II allotted water
for 5000 acres and that II is entitled TO

the right of priority inheres to land
which was under ditch or In process OF
being ditched at the time Of the later
filings, but does not extend to lands
which were not Irrigated at the time the
later bitches were constructed.
The Tri-state theory works out in the
North Platte valley, as follows: When
that company was irrigating only few
thousand acres there was plenty Of water
for men under this ditch and also for
subsequent appropriations. but when the
Tri-State concluded to extend its bitches

Board OF Irrigation in its assignment OF

the cab stopped, and he was ushered into

The endless procession of neWspa per
