court held that the Act of 1891 gave
to the states the right to grant corpor-
alton construction for irrigation but
not water power development.
As to Acts Of 1901, under which
federal regulations for development
of power were issued, the lower court
held it repealed the 1866 statute,
which allowed the state to grant per-
mission for private use of public lands
and water for mining, manufactur-
ing, agricultural and other purposes. !"
The federal regulations attacked as

OPEN CAMP AEGN
FOR BATTERY
Every Encouragement Given Commit
tee Seeking Enli5tments in Mil.
tary Organization.

An active campaign for the enlist
rnent Of men in the Battery Of Light
Artillery which is being organized
hero was begun yesterday and prom.
ises to result fayorably for the organ
ization. The committee devoted n.ost
Of yesterday to the organization Of
the campaign, the actual work Of en-.
listment begins this morning.
It was planned to begin the cam.
paign several weeks ago but because
Of the Christmas rush il was decided
to leave it off until after the holidays.
Up until yesterday good number Of
volunteers had come forward and en-
listed and many others were thinking
seriously of joining. There is no
doubt but that the required number
1873, will be secured.
The organization Of this battery in
Greenwood ia great thing for the
town and will do much to advertise
the city throughout the country, 1t
is a good thing for the city from every
viewpoint and should BE- encouraged
by everyone Needless 10 say IL is
receiving the endorsement Of the ma
jority Of the people There is, of
course, some opposition, nothing like
nature was ever organized without Il.
II Is contended by some that enlist
ment in this battery or any other mil
itary organization is putting young
men where they would have to 20
should the United States become IN
volyed in war. That is true but
should this government become in
volyed it would be the duty Of every
young man to enlist regardless, and
when that time comes who are men,
6ers Of military organizations and
have some knowledge of military tact
cs will be made non-commissioned
officers and those who volunteer or
are called to the colors viii be privates
in the ranks 1t is argued that IL
young men must go it is far better
that they 90 as officers than as pri-
Yates and the argument sustains IL
self.
The personnel Of the organization
] will be made up Of the best people Of
, tae city and if you are considering
letting your boy JON you need moi
} Eorry on that score, according b
those btcking the movement Every
\ care is being used not to get an un

Washington, Dec. 27-Germany's
reply to President Wilson's note has
not been received here in its official
form today and officials are reserving
comment until they have had an op-
portunity to study it.
Despite the disappointment because
of Germany not acceding to the Pres
dents suggestion to lay down terms
Of peace the general view prevails
that another step forward in the peace
movement has been made and the door
left open for further advances.
