Water Litigation
Is Brot To An End

The long standing suit between
Kansas and Colorado irrigation COM
panies over the waters of the Arkan-
sas river for irrigating purposes,
which has been in the different courts
for the past ten years, has been set
tied by Judge Riner in the United
States district court, sitting at Den
yer, thru the dismissal Of the case.
The information will be Of consid-
cradle Importance to those in the
Arkansas valley using water from
the river.
The dismissal followed a compro-
mise between the companies Of Kan
sas and Colorado and Intervention
thereby is denied the Kansas users
of the water against the Colorado
companies. The settlement of the
suit will mean that the Colorado
companies will be entitled to the
first use of the waters from the river,
according to their priority rights
within the state. The original suit
charged the Colorado defendants
with diverting the waters Of the
stream which were claimed under al
legged priority rights Of certain Kan
sas ditch companies. The case was
heard in the lower courts and then
taken to the higher. finally reaching
the United States district court.
where the recent agreement ends the
litigation.
