kANSAS-COLORADO
WATER CASE
Chief Topic at Arkansas VAL
ley Ditch Meeting
PLAINTIFFS HAVE JUST
SUBMITTED ALL EVIDENCE
Defense viii Soon be Ready for
Biggest Water Battle In History
of the West

biggest water Battle IN history
of the West
All the evidence of the plaintiffs
in the famous Kansas Colorado
water-right suit has been submit
ted to the federal court and the
defense is engaged in the task of
getting its evidence in Shape to
present, according to announce
ment made at the meeting of the
Arkansas Valley Ditch association
held in the office of the association
at Pueblo last Friday night.
The Kansas Colorado water suit
was the sole subject of discussion
at the meeting and the Importance
of the suit is fully realized by the
big ditch companies. The evil
dence of the plaintiffs in the suit
is said to be the most voluminous
ever filed in water suit in the
United States and the defense will
offer as much or more testimony
in refutation.
Attorneys informed the Colo
RADIO ditch companies at the meet
ing that the litigation would bring
lup questions for which there WIS
no precedence in the courts. The
chief question at issue is whether
the water users of state are en-
titled to the water of the streams
that originate in that state to the
extent of,applying such water for
irrigation purposes, even though
water users in an adjoining state
may have taken out prior rights.
Kansas water users are asking
the federal courts to issue per-
manent injunction against water
users in Colorado, preventing them
from making use of the water of
the Arkansas river under water
rights of later date than water
rights claimed by citizens of Kan
sas. Ii the Kansas claimants
should win the suit some of the
largest irrigation bitches in the
Arkansas valley would be affected
and many of the smaller ones
would be put out of business.
Colorado water users will con-
tend in defense that water users in
Kansas did not use the water I'M
der the old rights that they are
now seeking to revive and that for
many years the bitches in Kan
sas were idle. They will contend
that even before many Of the irrig-
alton projects of tbis state which
are sought to be enjoined, began
using water under present rights,
the Kansas bitches were dry be-
cause of lack of water, the natural
seepage of the river preventing
any flow in Kansas. They will
hold up to the court the fact that
even if the Colorado bitches were
shut off from water, the water will
sink into the ground and the Kan
sas users will receive no benefit.
The Arkansas Valley Di C h
association includes in its MEM
bership representatives of all the
principal irrigation projects in the
Arkansas valley. The association
at the meeting Friday night au-
thorized its attorneys to spare no
effort to bring out actual facts in
the evidence of the defense, which
will shortly be placed before the
court.
1t is expected this suit will form
a precedent for other suits of
similar character involving water
rights in controversy between
citizens of Colorado and citizens
of Arizona, New Mevico and
Wyoming.

The Enterprise takes pleasure in passing the appro

And drink this honest toast to thee,

When parting with nineteen thirteen.
And may nineteen fourteen combine
With love and faith and tenderness,
And gladsome glins of Gods sunshine
To crown with glory and
The coming days and months and years,
OF you, and those you dearly love,
Transposed at last your earthly tears,
To Jewels in your above

There is a general complaint on the
part of the patrons of the street rail-
way who are constant visitors to
Greenwood Park The complaint has
become general, and there has been
some talk of bringing a lawsuit for
damages. The ground of the com
plant is based on the treatment Of
passengers who go out to Greenwood
Park early in the day when enter
tainments are being given out there:
In order to avoid a rush and to enjoy
a full days recreation in the park
mothers take their children and so
out early in the morning. They take
Fairfield car and ride to the end &C
the line; when they reach that point
it Is arranged to transfer the passen-
gers from the regular car to what is
called a dinky. This dinky car con-
veys the passengers to the end Of the
line on the Lebanon pike The pa
irons of Greenwood Park feel that
when they are taken as passengers on
a Fairfield car it is the duty of the
company to carry them to- the end Of
the line. A.
III is Sald JnaL at times passengers
have had to wait more than an hour
at the end Of the Fairfield line to
get passage to the park. They would
have to stand In the hot sun, for an
that time, not having sven dgl much
as a board to sit on. Some ladies'
have returned to their homes almost
exhausted, owing to the torture In
fiicted upon them by the employees
of the company. One lady on one &C.
casion forced her way into the car,
and defed the conductor to put her
off, but in most cases the ladies have
suffered the discrimination for 1feaF
that. they would have trouble with
the conductor. They are determined
that this shall be remedied, even If
they have to resort to the courts. #

HONORABLE ]. c. NAPIER
RETIRES TO PRIVATE LIFE

Wednesday morning, October LIST.
Hon. J. G. Napier turned over the
reins of the Office of the Register of
Treasury to Gabe E. Parker, an Ok
lahoma Indian. Mr.. Napier resigned
the position as registrar when he
was asked to segregate the Negroes
employees in his department He
would not for a moment consent to
remain in the employ of the National
Government, if by so doing he would
have to humiliate his own people and
himself. Mr.. Napier was urged to re-.
tain the position, but no influence
could be brought to bear that would
make him stoop to such a thing. He
resigns to return to his home in this
city and look after his own private
business.
Mr. Napier was appointed by Presi-
dent VIM H. Taft to succeed Hon.
VIM. T. Vernon, of Kansas. He had
the endorsement of all of the lead
ing people of his home state and many
throughout the nation He had been
offered other positions and some that
paid more money, but he had one
desire, and that was to be register
of the treasury 1t was not a matter
of money with him, for he is well
fixed in this worlds goods, and no
one was surprised who knows Mr.
Napier when they learned that he
had resigned rather than submit to
the jim crow policy of the democrat
administration. Mr. Napier will re-
turn to Nashville, where he has in
terests in the One-Cent Savings Bank,
of which he is cashier and large real
estate holdings will keep him busy
all the while. II is not known
whether or not he will engage in
other lines of business than those
mentioned. 1t is believed, however,
that Mr.. Napier will become inter
ested in some other movement for a
general welfare of the people.

Wednesday evening, September oath
Madame E. Azalia Hackley, the IA
nous soloist and concert prima don
ma, sang before the students of the
Morristown Normal and Industrial
College. Rarely do students have
such treat. They evinced their
interest and enjoyment in the rapt
attention with which they greeted
Madame Hackley's renditions and
the enthusiastic applause which fol-
lowed every number.
Madame Hackley is a wonderful
singer. She possesses not only a
marvellous natural voice, cultivated
through long years of training both
here and abroad, but she has the
rare gift of being able to infuse her
remarkable personality into every
note, and the combination is usually
delightful. If arrangements can be
made for return engagement,
Madame Hackley will be assured of
no warmer welcome anywhere than
at Morristown.

train this week and it is predicted
that the halls will be practically
filled by the end of the next week.
