suit of the Natural Soda Products
Company to enjoin the city of Los
Angeles from taking thewaters of

The suit without doubt is one of
the greatest cases that ever has arisen
in the United States over water
rights. The Natural Soda Products
Company is engaged in the extraction
of soda from the waters of Owens
Lake. 1t is estimated by government
experts that there are seventy mill
lion tons of soda in the lake, with q
market value of $50 ton. The COM
pany claims that the city of Los Ain
geles intends taking all the waters
from the Owens river at the intake 50
miles above the lake. The claim is
that the lake will dry up in SHORT
time.
Many expert witnesses were in a.
tendance at the trial Should the in
junction be granted it means the
