Rev. Lewis breaches an Impressive
Sermon.
Last Sunday evening Rev. T. w.
Lewis, Presiding Elder Of Iowa Con,
ference, preached at st. Peters A. M.
E. Church, his former charge in this
city. Many were present. His sub
ject, 1.-THE Difference between Theo-
retical and Practical Christianity"
was ably handled, showing the force
full argument Of Paul to Festas, Felix
and Agrippa, and their partial accept
ance of his Christianity. Rev. Lewis
was highly complimented by Rev. E.

will repeat the same sermon when he
returns at next quarterly meeting. It
was masterpiece-a clean persuasive
and logical discourse.

The Right of Eminent Domain
Legal action to determine whether or
not the federal government has the
right to prevent the farmers of the
San Luis valley from using water
which they own will be inaugurated
shortly by our attorney general II
court suit is begun II will ineveta-
bly, hinge upon the refusal of the fed
eral government to grant the right Of
way across national lands. The de-
pGrtment of the inaerior is now re-
fusing the farmers the rights of way
for irrigation bitches and is thereby
prohibiting them from developing their
lands with water which they actually
own but cannit reach. The govern
ment can force the state to grant IT
rights OF way across state lands. but
the question of whether the state can
force the government to grant the
state rights of way across national
lands has never been determined.
For several years the department Of
the interior has declined so allow the
farmers to construct irrigation bitches
acress or reservois upon national land
in the valley, for the purpose OF
reaching their farms and our people
are insisting upon knowing where
they are at. Under the Colorado law
condemnation proceedings compel the
citizen land owrer to submit.

The rangers report minimum of

Grazing applications received so far
indicate that the number grazed on
the Battlement during the coming

the number gr'zed last year.
The Battlement expects to do con-
siderable grazing reconnaissance this
coming season with the regular ranger
force. The WORK will be taken up
first on the heavily stocked divisions.
In this way, definite, valuable data
will be at hand for the exect deter

Interstate Water.-ln an action now
pending before the federal district
court at Denver the Pioneer Ditch
company seeks to enjoin the state en-
gineer of Colorado, the division engi-
neer and Colorado irrigationists from
alliwing any use of water in Colorado
bitches which have junior priorities 20
Nebraska bitches. The question in
wolves irirgationists on every bound-
ary line of the state. The attorney
general takes the position that use of
water in one state does not prevent
its use In another and that by seep-
age, return Glow and other natural
circumstances both states may use the
water In his answer he makes the
following chief points. That the wa
ter belong to Colorado. That only an
equitable amount of the water has
been taken. That because OF seepage
and other natural conditions the wa
ter is bound to pass to Nebraska.
That the diversion OF water on upper
priorities for irrigation permits 4
greater irrigated area berause of seep-
age, retun flow and other natural cir
cumstarces than would be had IL the
upper users were denied the water
and the lower priorities alone were
given the waters use.
