IMPORTANT WATER
CASE TO BE HEARD
IN DISTRICT COURT

Caldwell, Dec 15.-What Is COM
monty known throughout the entire
Boise valley as the Stewart decree case
a case which is of greater interest to
it's farmers than any case which has
come up in the courts for years be-
cause of it's affecting the water rights
of all the lands in the valley. is
scheduled to come up before Judge
Bryan in the district court Monday.
The case is a highly historical one. In
fact. it may be said that it is strange
ly interlinked with the history Of
southwestern Idaho.
Through its termination the duty Of
water upon all the lands in Ada and
Canyon counties will be determined,
this one thing being the essential point
at issue. The case is an aftermath OF
the famous decree rendered by the
late Judge Stewart when he was dis
trict Judge for Ada county, prior to
his elevation to the state supreme
bench. BY it the priority Of water
rights were established and classified
and the duty of water fixed. but upon
an appeal being taken to the state SUI
preme court that tribunal only sus-
! tained the decree as it pertained to the
establishment and classified ton OF
water rights, holding that sufficient
evidence had not been introduced to
justify the determination of the duty
Of water
The case originated in the district
court of Canyon county, and it's title
was THE Farmers Co Operative Ditch
company against The Riverside Irri-
eating district" 1t was initiated in
1908 and 1t was In 1905 or 1907 that
the Stewart decree was rendered. Since
the decision Of the supreme court, re =
versing the decree as 1t pertained to
the fixing of water duty, that duty has
been fixed by the district court for
Canyon county annually. penling the
final adjudication of the controversy.
Practically all the attorneys of the
different cities and towns Of the valley
will appear in the case as representa- =
| tives of farmers Of it's different com
munities. Water rights vary as to title
some lands holding an inch to the acre
and others holding only five eighths
of an inch to the acre. The decision
will fix the maximum amount of waite,
which may be diverted from the Boise
river for the irrigation of the lands
! Of the valley. The case Is Of stipend
GUS proportions and its outcome will
be awaited with the fullest measure
Of interest and eagerness by the farm
ers of all communities in Canyon and
Ada counties.
