Vineyard Land and Stock Com
pany Get Damages
MUST PAY FOR INJURY DONE
LAND BY SEEPAGE.
Supreme Court Divides, Justice Sulli-
van Holding That Drainage District
Is Necessary.

An opinion of much Importance to
all irrigators was handed down in the
supreme court on Saturday, an opin-
ion tending to establish the fact that
canal companies are responsible for
damage done to property below the
canals from seepage, percOlatiOn or
flooding
This case was that OF the Vineyard
Land & Stock company of Twin Falls
county against the Twin Falls Land
& Water company and the Twin Falls
Canal company. The judgment of the
trial court in this case, Judge Edward
A. Walters presiding, is affirmed. This
Judgment was to the effect that the
Vineyard Land & Stock company was
to get $4,000 for the damage done. The
case was appealed by the two canal
companies.
1t is held in the supreme court de-
cision that the complaint in this case
constitutes cause of action, and that
the two canal companies are Jointly
and severally liable for the damage"
1t is set forth in the record of the
case that in 1905 and 1906 the land
and water company constructed high
line canal for the purpose Of irriga-
ting 10000 acres of land. This high
line canal passes close to the land of
the Vineyard Land & Stock company
and above it.; that the canal company
and it's successor negligently permit
ted the water from the canal to seep
percolate and flow over the land of the
plaintiff company; that 1t refused to
line the canal with cement to prevent
the seepage; that this seepage practi-
,cally destroyed 81 acres of the plain
tiff companys land, rendering it
worthless.
The supreme court divided in its op-
inion in this case, but the majority at
'firmed the judgment Of the lower
court, which holds the two irrigation
of the judgment, $4,000, together with
the costs of appeal. This majority op-
.inion was written by Justice Stewart
1t is concurred in by Chief Justice
Ailshie.
Justice Sullivan dissents. In his
dissenting opinion he goes into the
case in great detail and reaches this
conclusion:
"In my view of the matter, neither OF
the defendants is liable for damages in
this action The judgment, therefore
sought to be reversed and the case re-
manded with instructions to the trial
court to enterjudgment for the defend
ants"
The real basis for Justice Sullivan's
dissenting opinion is to be found in
this paragraph, which although gen
eral, contains much food for reflec-
ton:
at is recognized by the leading ir.
rigators of the state that while the
desert lands of this state require wa.
ter to make them productive, in time
drainage will be required or much Of
such lands will become ruined by wa
ter-logging at least until drainage
system is furnished. That is the ac
tual condition that confronts the lant
owner in irrigation districts, and it Il
evident that drainage must be resorte(
to and that drainage system must bt
provided by the whole community thai
enjoys the same system of irrigation
rather than byt few land owners
whose lands first become water-log
ged.
