STATE LINES ERASED.
IRRIGATION PRloRITlEs UPHELD
IN U. s. WATER RULING.
Nebraska Men Are Sustained in Re.
publican River Case in Federal
Court.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denyer.-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 1t 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. II 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 1t 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.

cresson Strike Shows Wide Ore Vein.

Cripple Creek.-One of the most
prominent mining experts in the Grip
pie Creek district was shown the
strike in the Cresson mine. When he
returned TO the surface he declared
that the strike WAS the biggest he had
ever seen. Besides the enormously
rich sylvanite vein, which is said to
contain two inches of solid sylvanite
in some places, body of good aver
age ore has been discovered in the
twelfth level, which Is 100 feet wide
and 500 feet long. according to reliable
statements. This Is tremendous
width for an ore body. Ore has also
been discovered in the thirteenth
level of the mine. 1t is estimated that
the high grade shipment, for which
sacking is being made In the interior
of the mine. will be worth more than
100000. Although all details of the
strike are carefully guarded the infor-
nation obtainable is causing one OF
the biggest sensations ever known
here.

Chicago didn't want to play Harvard

Harvard is the acknowledged foOtbau

way the Crimson is rated by the foot

That talk about the game not being

Kansas City to Remain.
Local Federal league hackers claim
Kansas City will remain IN the circuit
IN spite of a small gate because the
western half cannot be broken up. Pos
sibly so, but Cincinnati could easily be
figured in with st. Louis, Chicago and
Indianapolis as the western half. In
dianapOlis may fail and that club be
moved to Cleveland.
Broad smiles were all that could be
obtained from officers OF the Packers
yesterday when asked concerning the
report that the American league and
Federals have an understanding. The
report stated that Ban Johnson wants
to fight Charley Murphy and Bob
Hedges and that he was able to have
the FederalS move out of Cleveland.
Judging from the attitude of the Pack
CT officials there may be something to
the report. They state, however, that
no effort will be made to avoid con-
flicting dates with the White SOX in
Chicago. They say they have to do the
best they can to avoid conflicting dates
in Kansas City, Buffalo, Toronto and
Baltimore. They have four schedules
to battle with and they cannot posi-
bly, avoid conflicting with the dates of
some of them.
One report says Joe Tinker received
$4,000 as a bonus for signing a Fed
eral league contract besides a salary
of $4,000 a year for three years. We
always knew Joe was a good financier,
but If he got that amount he IS a little
better at the game than we expected.
And yet he would have cost the Fed
erals more than that had they pur-
chased his release from the Cincinnati
club.
