Fort Lyoa VIII. = s.prs-s oo.rs,

u
In the case Of the Catlin Canal
Company ". the Water Officers. the
supreme court. through Chief Jus
tice Gabbert. delivered an opinion
last Monday reversing the judgment
entered BY Judge Essex In Otero
county. II held that the district
court Of Otero county was without
Jurisdiction to entertain the cause; /;
that the Jurisdiction OF the district
court OF Bent county Il exclusive In
matters affecting priority under de-
crees entered by the Bent county
court. and that the district court Of
Otero county should have sustained
the demurrer to the complaint chal-
lenging the Jurisdiction.
The judgment OF the district court
Is therefore reversed. and the cause
remanded. with directions to sustain
the demurrer. As the district court
was without Jurisdiction to entertain
the case. the supreme court properly
expresses no opinion on the merits or
other questions considered by the
trial court or presented in argument.
The substance OF the matter 10 that
the Judgment Is reversed and the
case will have to be dismissed. II
any questions are presented hereaf-
ter as to the force or effect OF the
transfer decree. they will have to be
presented in another litigation.
The supreme court also reversed
the Judgment entered by Judge Es-
Sex in the district court Of Otero
county in the case Of Bennett & Son
VS., The Fort Lyon Canal Company
for crop damages. and the case was
remanded for new consideration and
trial The supreme court held that
the trial court should have sustain
ed defendants motion to make the
complaint specific: that II erred In
sustaining q demurrer to the special
offense interposed by the Fort Lyon
Canal Company; that II erred In ad-
mitting Weiland's testimony ~ to
the flow OF water. and In admitting
testimony ~ TO better crops raised
under open laterals. II likewise said
that the verdict was excessive. and
the case goes hack for further con-
alteration on the pleadings and for
new trial generally.

FARMERS PROFIT
FROM WAR ORDERS

Efforts of the Democrats to make
political capital of the war-order pros
perity enjoyed by certain industries
at the present time, were given al eff
fective check in the Senate a few days
ago when Senator Curtis of Kansas
replied to an address of Senator Shat
roth of Colorado. Shafroth had been
ex~patiating upon the wonderful pros
perity the country is now enjoying un-
der a Democratic administration.
though he had nothing to say about
the depression that followed the en-
actment of the Underwood tariff law.
Curtis suggested that Shafroth should
entitle his address "a tribute to the
European war;" and then said:
I'VE are all glad the farmers are
prosperous. and especially those of
us from agricultural states, but the
truth is that our sale of wheat to Eu-
rope during the first year of the war
compared with the first year of the
present tariff law in time of peace. in
