STATE LINES ERASED
IRRIGATION PRIoRITlEs UPHELD
IN U. S. WATER RULING.
Nebraska Men Are Sustained in Re.
publican River Case in Federal
Court.
western Newspaper Union News Service,

| Western newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-A decision involving all
irrigation projects in Colorado and
with wide bearing on similar cases
throughout the United States was
handed down in the federal District
Court when Judge r. E. Lewis decided
that state boundaries have no bearings
on water rights and that the state has
no special claim on the water of the
rivers which spring up within its
boundaries.
The decision was given in the case
of the Pioneer Irrigation Company of
Nebraska against John e. Field, state
engineer, his assistants and all users
of water from the Republican river in
Colorado.
The plaintiffs claim priorities on
the river antedating many of those
held by Colorado irrigators, who have
been taking water from the stream
before it passes out OF the state.
The court decreed that the Colorado
users must leave twenty-nine feet Of
water in the river where it crosses
into Nebraska. The case will be car
ried to the United States Court of
Appeals
Should the Supreme Court of the
United States uphold this decision"
Attorney General Farrar, VINO has
been active in the case, said, ut will
mean loss Of millions of dollars to
Colorado and the suspension of more
than half OF the larger irrigation prof.
ects of the state"
The Colorado officials and Charles
l.. Allen, attorney for the water users,
contend not only that they had the
right to all the water they could take
out of the stream in their own state,
but that, because of the inevitable
seepage and return flow of the water
used, the same amount would go far
ther and could be used over and over
again. If it was taken out nearer the
head of the stream, than ii allowed
to run over into Nebraska across the
arid territory, where much of it would
be lost by evaporation and must be
wasted through being unused
The question is specially vital to
Colorado, according to Farrar, because
all of her streams flow over into ad-
joining states.
On its final settlement will depend
the fate Of many irrigation enterprises
on the Arkansas, the Platte, the Lara.
ME, the Grand. the Rio Grande and
the Las Animas rivers.

was made by the United States gov.
eminent Tuesday of its determination
not to tolerate continued firing by
the Mexican factions at Naco, Sonora,

President Wilson. after brief dis.

Secretary Garrison to comply with the

Three regiments of infantry and three

The general understanding in ad-
ministration quarters was that as soon
as the additional forces were placed
in position on the international line,
the United States would return any
artillery or infantry fire which might
come from Mexican territory.
AS 1t will require three days for the
troops to reach Naco, the Mexican fac

London, Dec. 16.-The offensive

has become general and is bling
pushed with strong forces, particular.

Woevre and Alsace. While the Frsnch
claim to have been successful at all

On the whole, however. 1t wo,th ap-
pear that the allies, who now 1--we a

artillery, have succeeded in rAl,ing
some progress and have withsto6 zig
orous counter attacks delivered E the

The force which has been cheekl

1t is evident that while the German
