FARMERS OBJECT TO
POLLUTION OF WATER

Inc matter of clearing Clear creek
and restoring it to its natural clsar
and unpoliuted state, is agitating the
farmers and truck gardeners in the
valleys below Golden, says tie Cold
en- Transcript. Stimulated by the de-
cision rendered in the district court
OF Fremont county some months ago,
whereby the Arkansas river was re-
lieved of pollution caused by tailings
from a placer property near Twin
Lakes, those interested in the scheme
believe tie same thing can be work
ed on Clear creek.
From the standpoint of the peo-
pie living contiguous to the stream
below Golden, it is as much com-
merciel matter as one of pride The
waters of Clear creek have long car
ried a white silt from the stamp
mills in the m ming towns above
this city. The water has been used
by these milling concerns put TIN ough
the stamps and returned to the
creek in a mudded condition Clear
crystal. AT Georgetown, where it
flows without interruption of mills,
it is pure and wholesome. After it
leaves Idaho Springs, it is milky and
not fit for domestic use. 1t is this
condition which t e gardeners below
Golden are protesting. 1t is said
that scientific experiment has shown
that the soil which for years has
been irrigated by this water, is rem
dered untilable and that it loses its
fertility and will grow only certain
kinds OF vegetation
1t is estimated that approximately
10000 persons are Interested in this
question. Every water user, whether
riparian in tie strict sense of the
wcrd or not, whether on the very
bank of the creek or one of the many
tributary canals which spread over
TIE lower valleys, is vitality inter-
ested in tie matter.
The law covering the situation, has
been thoroughly gone over. The great
weight of authority, under the decis
ions OF the Colorado supreme court
and tie courts of otler states, sus-
tains the contention of tile lower
water users that no matter Eow long
polluted, cannot be polluted to the
prejudice of other and even subse-
quent appropriations. There is no pre-
scriptive right to pollute a stream.
If its waters are polluted, tie de
cisions say it must be cleared be-
fore being returned to the stream.
TIE city of Golden is interested
in clearing Clear creek fer the rea-
son that it would make Golden more
attractive. II the stream were clear.
as it is in the upper mountains, it
would be a trout stream here, as it
is there Hundreds of anglers would
be attracted to its banks in and
around Golden and many attractive
spots could be found along its banks
for picnic parties.
1t would be a picturesque asset to
Golden and joy forever to tie farm
ers below.
The complainants are not contest
ing the right of the mill owners to
use the wRter-only to their right to
pollute it, Trey are anxious to CO.
operate with tie mill owners to en-
courage the latter to allow tie wa
ter to settle or otherwise clear it
before returning 1t to the stream.
The valley people believe under tie
law they are entitled to clear
stream and they want to clarity 1t
with the least trouble and controver-
sy possible.

The steamship Dacia left Galveston
for Rotterdam on January 81 with
1000 bales of cotton to be trans
shipped to Bremen. 1t was expected
that she would be seized because
Great Britain questioned the validity
of her transfer from German to
American registry. She touched at
Norfolk on February II, then pro.
ceeded.
The Dacia formerly was a Ham
burg-American freight steamship in
trade between Bremen and gulf ports.
AT the outbreak of hostilities she was
t.,d up at Port Arthur. On Decem-
Der 26 she was purchased by an
American and on January American
registry was obtained. 1t then was
announced that she was to be used
to move cotton and loading was be-

The 900 bales Of cotton aboard
the steamship Dacia, Galveston to
Rotterdam, which is reported to have
been seized i'm English channel yes
terday by French warship and taken
into Brest, were insured by Edwin G..
eSihels, Manager, Inc, OF Columbia,
in the sum OF $4,000.
Edwin G.. Scibels said last night that
if the vessel had been captured, as
reported, his agency would be relieved
Of its liability, the risk in that event
falling on the government war risk
bureau lie said he would be very
willing to see the load transferred, be
cause the line he was carrying on the
cargo was Il trille too heavy to be
comfortable and difficulty had been
found in procuring reinsurance.
Edward f. Breitung of st. Louis is
the owner of the Dacia. Mr.. Seibels
said last night that he understood the
vessel had cost him about $15O,OO0.
and that he stood to collect in freghts
on her present voyage alone upwards
of $4,000. The cargo is the prop
"rty of Tom T.. Owens d Co. of Fort
Worth, Texas. That concern, Mr..
SeibclS said, has a large stake in the
venture and has already incurred OK
