STATE ENGINEER ENJ0INED
Ranchers Combine to Prevent Adjudi'
cation Rights They Have Held
For Years

Winnemucca, Nevada, June IA
State Engineer w. NJ. Kearney was to.
day enjoined by an order of the district
court issued by Judge Rucker. from pro
ceeding to determine water rights on the
Hum boldt river under the Law enacted
by the last Legislature. The law was
attacked in a bill filed by SO ranchers
along the river. represented by Cheney.
Downer, Price and Hawkins Of Reno.
who claim that it js unconstitutional.
The fight on the water Law and on
it's enforcement by the State Engineer
is the sequel to bitter opposition mani
fested toward the Act when it was upon
it's passage in Carson. The Humboldt
ranchers opposed the bill and retained
Judge Massey to speak against it in com
mittee of the Senate.
The Humboldt delegation with the
exception OF Senator Carpenter. OPP.
posed the bill. It is the claim of the
rsnchers that the law confers too much
power to the engineer to the exclusion
of the courts, and further that power ID
given to overturn rights that were q
firmed years before the new law went
into effect.
In pursuit of the powers mentioned
in the law, Engineer Kearney recently
divided the Humboldt river into II dis
tricts. He held a hearing in one dis
trict, that of Lovelock, in March and
April in which testimony was taken as
to the claims of water rights in that
district. The ranchers claim that
there is no authority for the proceedings
because the law is unconstitutional and
because their rights were rights fully
and perfected prior to the year
1905.

STANDARD OIL HAS REAL RIVAL

The .teamer Kessler arrived In san

Of Gasoline. This is the first oil tne

roval contest between the Schell-Dutcn
interssts and the Standard Oh Com
many for the Pacific Coast and Western
American market.
The Kessler comes from Borneo ana
the Dutch East Indies. The cargo
owners are the most powerful influence
in the oil market in Europe and closely
rival the Standard Oil Company IN
wealth and standing. The companies
are made up Of bankers and hnanciers
of Europe with the Rothchilds as the
dominating force.
The American Company with offices
in the Kohl building at San Francisco
will represent the new oil power In the
Pacific Coast field. The American Com
pany was incorporated last year and
now has q station at Martinez with re.
ceiving tanks to hold 1000. 600 gallons.
The Martinez plant will be the principal
receiving station and sub-stations will be
built at various points along the Coast.
The effect Of this rivalry for the con-
troll Of the gasoline and light oil market
is not yet apparent but it is probable
that the rates to gasoline users will be
reduced.
Recently rumors have been ~pervading
the oil circles that the Schell-D Dutch in
terests have acquired the Union Oh
| Company and that they are in course
of acquiring the Associated Oil Com
pany. They have undoubtedly taken
over considerable tracts Of California oil
lands within the past few months and
the situation seems to justify the sur
mise that the Schell. Dutch Companies
and the independent oil producers Of
California will be found in close alliance,

A n Atlanta exchange declares

n that Bill Smith viii come to
\ Birmingham with blood in his
eye.
1t is also a safe bet that he will
come with sore in his heart, and a
plug of Pieperheidsics in his mouth.
Seriously, however the exchange
states that Bill and his Crackers are
very angry because Manager Moles-
worth, in a recent interview, is alleged
to have expressed himself to the effect
that while the team of Atlanta has
hitting strength. it is a trifie weak on
brains 1t is doubtful whether or not
Molesworth made that statement, or
one like unto it.
Bill, even We're it to be proved that
Molesworth was misquoted in refer
ence to the brains of the Crackers,
would still be sore. Last season, as is
remembered, he had a. spat with UNI
pire Breitenstein, and was fined by
President Kavanaugh on the charge
that he had waxed profane. Bill has
always held TO the idea that the fine
was imposed as a result OF the insist
ence of Mr. Woodward.
In reference to Bill an interesting lit
tie episode occurred last week. A
fan, in a. letter to the sporting editor,
asked if it was Bill Smith or Sid
Smith who managed the Crackers in
the days when they were able to win
pennants.
In the paper the next morning we re-
Piled, stating that the manager OF
those days was Bill Smith, whereas
Sid Smith was one of his brilliant
players.
The following afternoon we received
note as follows:
You were mistaken. The manager
was neither Bill Smith nor Sid Smith.
He was Otto Jordan"
But for the fact that we have ten
der heart. we would show Bill the cor
respondence. AS it is, however, we in
tend to keep the little story all to our
selves. 1t would be unkind even to
hermit him to hear of the incident.

tic as he was some days ago Then

ing full page stories for the Atlanta
Constitution, predicting an easy road
to the pennant through the chaste
columns of the Atlanta Journal, and
declaring through the Atlanta Geor-
gian that Walle Smith, his third base
man, was the greatest player he had
ever seen in the history of the South
ern league.
Those We're balmly days. The at
mosphere now has changed a bit. The
Atlanta Crackers have just under

of the Nashville Volunteers. and in
stead of first place. the team of Smith
is In second-iust half length in ad-
vance of Nashville
And the manager is confronted with
a road trip of 10 games
1t is our private opinion that the
Crackers compose a strong team, not
the strongest in the world, perhaps,
but strong enough. at any rate, TO
compete with reasonable success
against their Southern league rivals.
The Crackers can hit the ball. They
are not too fast, however, and their
pitchers are not as strong as the pitch
ers of some other clubs.
As TO their brains, we are not in po-
stion to make an expression. Whitley
Alpermann, however, is generally con-
sidered a smart performer.
The season is young. Many things
might occur. Smith might fall out
with his Crackers. Perhaps some of
yhem might stray from the straight
and narrow. So it would be unwise for
us to predict that they viii win the
pennant. However, we think that they
will be high when the gentle roll is
called.
There were some fine battles yester-
day. sensational twelve inning tie
was played between Memphis and New
Orleans in the Southern. New York
and Brooklyn, with Mathewson and
Rueker up, went for 1s innings. Chi
cago and Detroit played a brilliant
nip and tuck game.
Cobb made his first appearance OF
the season., lie was not as brilliant
as he was last year, or as he will he
within a couple of weeks. But the
Tigers were more confident that they
had previously been this year, and
there is no question but that with Cobb
in the line up they are 20 per cent
stronger than without him.
