State Engineer Comstock today
issued the following statement con-
cerning the various water suits that
are pending in Colorado and also
In relation to the decision OF the
supreme court in the defense fund
care which was issued last Monday.
The decision OF the supreme
court of Colorado which invalidates
the $4,000 appropriation made by
the eighteenth general assembly for
the defense of the public waters OF
the state, is undoubtedly proper, but
Il 10 very much to be regretted that
the bill making the appropriation
was SO drawn as to make this de-
cision necessary.
The state OF Colorado faces two
vigorous attacks on its right to
control and utilize the waters of its
streams. These attacks are not
simply threatened but they are ac-
tual. One is the suit filed by the
state of Wyoming in the supreme
court of the United States in which
the state of Colorado. the Larimie-
Poudre Irrigation company and the
Greeley-Poudre irrigation district
are named as defendants.
Right OF State Attacked
The complaint in this suit attack
ed the right of the state Of Colorado
or its citizens or any one in 1t to
divert the waters of the Laramie
river out OF the water shed of that
stream. The state has approxi-
mately 100000 acre feet of water
per annum which is to be diverted
through the Laramie-Poudre tunnel
for use on the land of the Greeley
Poudre irrigation district.
This district has issued approxi-
mately 100000 in bonds and up
to date expended something like
$2,O0O,O00 in concession work, in
GLIDING the Laramie-Poudre tunnel
some two miles long. Should the
state of Wyoming prevail in this
suit the water supply of the Gree
ley-Poudre district will be entirely
inadequate and the district bonds
will be practically worthless.
The irrigation and reclamation
OF these lands would be the addi-
tion of $1OO,OO0,O00 to taxable
property in Colorado and an in
crease of thousands in its popula-
ton. Is it fair to say that the state

TRUTH ABOUT THE NEW
CURE FOR CONSUMPTION

The Friedman treatment for
consumption has recently been an
nounced In most sensational way,
through the newspapers of an
American newspaper syndicate. Ac-
cording to the journal of the
American Medical association this
method of treatment does not ap-
pear to be based on any new prin-
ciple. 1t represents simply another
effort to utilize for curative and
preventive purposes the antigenic
substances in the tubercle bacillus,
without at the same time introduc-
ing any toxic or harmful sub
stances. In order to secure this ef-
feet, living bacilli, devoid OF virul-
ence. 30 1t is asserted. are injected
deep into the muscles. These bacilli
are said to be derived from the
turtle. but the method by which
they are rendered harmless Is
withheld. This secrecy is not in
accord with the ethical standard OF
scientific medicine. The report az
to the results Of the practical use OF
this carefully guarded secret shows
first. that in the experiments on
guinea pigs complete protection has
not been obtained Furthermore
there are no indications that It has
been possible to cure tuberculous
guinea pigs by this method. The
treatment consequently lacks an
experimental basis. A really and
! promptly effective cure for tuber.
cuiosis should cure tuberculosis In
guinea pigs and other animals. TIL,
