The Judge must not only read this

The judge must not only read this
testimony and brief but he must
practically memorize the main points
and keep constantly referring from
one part OF the evidence to another to
determine the conflicts and arrive at
the r state Of affairs.
In addition to the written evil
dence and arguments there are many
other exhibits in the way OF govern
ment reports. maps and surveys and
photographs. And then there are al
SO the many court orders and pap
ers filed in the case covering a peri
cd OF eight years.
This suit was begun October 18th,
1907, and has been constantly before
the courts yer since that time. The
plaintiff was organized as a corpora
ton in 1888. 1t was the of
the old Miller & Lux holdings at
Quinn river Crossing. 1t claims the
use of the water Of Quinn river since
1872 when it's first filings were made.
There are thirty defendants to the
suit. Most If not all Of these defend
ants have taken up and on the Quinn
river above the irrigated land OF the
Pacific Livestock company, and some
Of the ranches extend up into Idaho
and Oregon. Some of the water
rights 1t Is alleged date back to 1888.
The claim of the plaintiff is that
the settlers on the river have gradu-
ally absorbed more and more o. the
flow of the river until there is not
water enough left to irrigate the plain
tif's land for which it has prior water
appropriation.
The plaintiff some years ago built
a storage reservoir above Quinn river
crossing, and this also cuts a con-
siderable figure in the consideration
OF the case. The defendants claim
that this reservoir In itself is a sourcs
of much of the trouble.
This suit has been brought under
the old Nevada water laws. Judge
Taber has been hoping that the sew
eral parties might get together and eff
feet a compromise. He has urged
them to try TO find a solution in this
way, but the prospect of such a SET.
Element seems slight.
The judge therefore has commenced
the reading of testimony and yester,
day in his chambers had the exhibits
spread before him and had commenc.
ed their examination in his leisure
moments.
He also has other important suits
in his W district that must soon be
decided. Among these is a water case
at Ely, the suit against the bonds.

EXPECTS TO co
TO QUINN RIVER
Judge Taber Enters Upon Great Task
of Reading More Than Million
and Half Words

Judge E. j. l.. Taber has planned
to make a trip in company with the
attorneys to Quinn river to look over
the ground in the. case of the Pacific
Livestock company versus the Ellison
Ranch company and others.
This Is the famous suit over water
rights on Quinn river. Before begin
ming the consideration Of the written
testimony both the judge and the at
torneys desire that the court shall be-
come familiar with the many natural
objects referred to in the evidence.
The trip is planned for this purpose
and lawyers representing both sides
will be present to point out ground
they wish the judge especially to bear
in mind.
Judge Taber expects to make the
trip before the close of July. It will
occupy three days at least and per-
haps longer. AS the end of the month
is near he may start any day. He is
waiting now for the attorneys to agree
upon the time for the inspection.
This is a tremendous task that
Judge Taber has undertaken at the re-
quest of his fellow jurist, Judge Duck
er of Humboldt county. The later is
disqualified by the fact that he was
attorney for certain parties to the suit.
1t required six weeks to take down
the evidence before a referee. This
fills ten volumes each of about 500
pages. Altogether t be exact there
are 5,192 pages of typewriter copy.
These pages average 80 lines and
10 words to the line, or 800 words to
a page. This makes a grand total of
1,56O,OO0 words. That is equal to ff-
teen of the ordinary best seller nov
els. And this is only a part of the
work.
The judge last January listened to
five full days of oral argument. In
addition the attorneys have filed
briefs covering hundreds of pages.
Some of these are handsomely printed
in book forms with photograph and
elaborate maps.

RAILROADS LOSING BUSINESS
Falling Off in Transportation Cuts
Down the Revenue of Minnesota
Very Materially.

st. Paul, Aug. minnesota had an
income of $22,481, 933.11 for the
states fiscal year ending July 81,
which is 100000 less than the earn
ings of the previous year, by the fig
ures of j. A. O. Preus, state auditor.
The loss is due to the falling off in
the gross earnings of the railroads
and would have been much greater
had not the three big counties made
their spring settlements in July in
stead of August.
The gross earnings for railroads
was $500, 900 for the last fiscal year,
which is $4,000 less than was shown
the year before.
Direct taxes were somewhat great
er, as the general revenue tax of 49,
276,00 is 100000 NOR than was col
lected in the corresponding period for
the previous year, and the road and
bridge tax of $1,312, 900 is about $780,
900 greater. On the other hand the
general school tax of $1,377,0O0 re-
veals a falling off of more than $780,
900.
The states prison tax, next to the
railroads, gross earnings taxes and
the state revenue tax, is the greatest
revenue producer for the state.
In the fiscal year reported by Mr..
Preus this institution brought in ST.
O55, 900, increasing its earning capac-
ity by 100000. Iron ore royalties
reached S234,OOO, loss of 100000,
and timber sales $4,000, a decrease
of $4,000.
Grain inspection brought in a reve-
nue. of $4,000, gain of nearly $780,
600, and the automobile licenses came
in with $14S,000. Interest on the per-
manent trust funds Melted $832,715.36
considerable gain, as, the funds were
Increased over the previous, year.
