Important Court Decision.

Montrose.-Judge Shackleford Of
the District Court in chambers at Del
ia rendered one of the most important
down affecting the U. S. Reclamation
Service. John A. Masters, who had
proved up on 120 acres of homestead
land in 1904, filed suit for an injunc-
ton to prevent the officers of the
Reclamation Service from construct
ing,a large canal through his land, be-
ing part of the west canal Of the I'm
compahgre Valley reclamation project.
1t was asserted by the plaintiff,
Masters, that the reclamation officials
lad established camp near his land
end had placed force Of men at work
upon his property excavating for the
ditch and that it was proving, very in
furious to his property. The Reclama-
tion Service took the ground that all
patents which had been issued by the
government since 1900 contained a
clause which reserved right of way
through the land for ditch purposes,
under that provision to enter on his
or any other lands.
Judge Shackleford made the injunc-
tion permanent and held that the res
ervation in the patent was too indef-
mite to be of any purpose and that
the only way the government could
construct ditch through the land
would be by due process Of law. Thus
work by the government on the West
canal must be stopped. The canal is
the uncompleted portion of the Un-
compahgre Valley project and was to
cost 100000. The result may be that
the project vii be tied up for many
months. The case will probably go to
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The question affects every reclama-
tion project in the West.

OF interest to Homestead ers.

Washington.-TheH House passed the
bill, introduced by Congressman Ed
ward T. Taylor of Colorado preventing
contests from being filed against
homestead entrymen under any recla,
nation project prior to the time that
water is available for irrigation.
This measure is Of vital interest to
the Grand valley and its progress has
been eagerly watched. 1t is believed
that the bill will not have much trou-
BILE in getting through the Senate.
This is the most important measure
yet offered in behalf of the Grand Val
ley Project entrymen, as well as the
entrymen under all government recla-
nation projects.
The House also passed Congressman
Taylor's bill allowing adjoining own
ers to purchase isolated tracts Of land.
subject to the order Of a United States
commissioner. when the greater por-
tion of such desired land is highly ele.
vated.

The secretary urged greater liberality
by Congress in dealing with the naval
establishment.
Senator Gardner Of Maine intro
duced bill under which the govern
ment would take over the properties
of express companies and operate
them as part of the postal service, ex-
tending the service to the rural de-
livery. The measure indicates the
probable cost of takingsover the prop

total OF $39, ,165,s19.
Tho House went on record as favor
ing the adoption of the eight-hour
work day on all government works.
President Taft, speaking at the
peace meeting of the Navy league in
Washington declared the time had not
come for this country to be economi-
cal at the expense of an adequate
naval establishment; expressed the
hope that the present Congress would
authorize the construction of two bat
tleships, and said he gladly would
sign bill that carried such an author
ization.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
in official circles over the bloodless
fall of Juarez gave way to dire appre-
hension following the receipt of alarm
ing dispatches from various sections
of Mexico, showing the attacks upon
and the peril of American citizens.
From almost every section of revolt
ridden Mexico come reports Of out
RACES. From almost every city Ameri-
cans are fleeing for safety. Vast
properties are being endangered and
life is held at low price.
Even Mexico City is terror-stricken
and hundreds of Americans are de-
parting for the United States, leaving
their property behind.
Among the acts of hostility which
were brought to official notice were:
The attack upon the Nelson Morris
ranch by Mexican rebels.
The threatened assassination of
seven armed Americans captured at
Fronteras, Mexico.
The invasion Of Texas by band of
twenty-seven Mexican rebels and their
attempt to steal herds of cattle.
Attacks upon American citizens at
Torreon and the refusal of federal au-
thorities to grant them military pro-
lection.
Attacks upon five Americans in
Guadalajara, who were driven from
their mining property near Butla.
Attacks upon American citizens in
Mochis and their appeal to Senator Lea
that he use his influence to have an
American warship sent there for their
protection.
American citizens are attempting to
flee from nearly every city in Mex
leo. In many states their flight is
being prevented by the authorities.
Great uneasiness is felt by Ameri-
cans in Vera Cruz, Oaxaca, Puebla,
Chihuahua and Saltillo, from which
places no information as to their
safety is obtainable.
Official Washington is inclined to
look upon the attack on the Nelson
Morris ranch and the invasion of
Texas by the rebel band as mere acts
OF brigandage. While no action has
been decided upon in connection with
these two cases, it is intimated that
the American government will de-
mand indemnity from Mexico.
Manifest relief was expressed, how
ever, at the restoration of order in
Juarez.
The capture of the city gives to the
insurrectos clear channel of entry
for arms and ammunition. The treas
ury department, as during the Madero
revolution, will allow consignments of
all goods. arms included, to be re-
ceived at Ell Paso, and will transfer
them to the authorities in possession
OF the customs house across the riv-
er, despite the suggestion Of Colonel
Steever, in command of the American
troops, that all munitions of war be
prohibited from entering Mexico at
that point.
A determined effort will be made to
preserve neutrality, but shipments
having the appearance Of lawful trade.
consigned from one dealer to a GUS
toner in Mexico, cannot be stopped.
though arms shipped from American
territory and presenting with such
shipment evidence OF conspiracy
formed on American soil to engage in
an armed expedition against the au
thorities OF Mexico will be held.

ing between twenty-nine and twenty.
four degrees made the wind and snow
bearable and little suffering was re-
ported. Several deaths in wrecks are
attributed indirectly to the storm. The
storm reached its greatest intensity in
Chicago and northern and central Illi
nois. although eastern Iowa and Mis-
souri,, southern Wisconsin. Michigan
and Indiana felt the blizzard to a con-
siderable extent.
The mystery of eight deaths of ba.
bies in the Brooklyn nursery and in

say, by the confession of Winifred
Ankers, kitchen woman at the hos
pital, admitting that she placed oxalio
acid in the babies milk bottles.
Unprecedented prosperity is being

shared in this prosperity by increasing
it's exports to the archipelago to $40.
