the qualifications necessary in the
person equipped by education, train
ing and experience to carry out the
provisions of this code are consider
ed with relation to the fees and emol-
uments secured by such engineer in
private practice. He has wide pow
ers and must give substantial bond
to the state. An appropriation must
be made to carry the expense of the
state engineers office and board of
control for a few years, but it is in
tended that the office shall eventual
ly be self-supporting. The public, re-
ceiving a very definite benefit from
this act, ought to bear some portion
Of the expense. The fact that the
attorney general shall watch out for
the interest of the public, and the
statutes Hereunder are of public ma
ture, all bear out this view of the
question. The assistant state engin-

wen for a long term of years, does
not invalidate the right, nor does
failure to make beneficial use. Such
conditions are not attractive to par
ties considering the investment of
large sums of money, and neither do
they help in increasing the area I'M
der irrigation. The new code will
eliminate such undesirable conditions
and will encourage the construction
of new projects. There will be a
material saving in the cost of adjudi-
cation and water right suits will be
the exception rather than the rule
as is the case under the present law.
The regulation of the waters Of all
the streams in the state is going to
result in greater economy in the use
of water, less water-logged land and
more water available for the irriga-
ton of additional lands. Clearly
this is the logical and opportune time
for Montana to change it's water right
law. No law can be a success I'M
less it is backed by public sentiment
and public sentiment cannot be
awakened until it has some knowl-
edge of the necessity for such a law.
1t is hoped that this article has to
extent pointed out the made
quacy of the present water code and
has made it clear that the enactment
of the proposed code will tend to ELI
inmate neighborhood quarrels; will
be a saving in cost to water appro-
priators, and what is most import
ant, will be a material factor in adj
irrigation development in
Montana.

eer, if one is appointed, will have a
salary of $4,000, and must also give
a bond. Water division superinten-
dents are to receive $4,000 per an
mum and water masters $2,400.
This code will have the effect of
transferring from the courts of the
state the entire responsibility of ad-
Indication of streams and it is pro-
vided that the state courts shall fur
nish to the state engineer Immediate
ly after the passage of the act, a
certified copy of any decree of ad-
j~udication of any stream heretofore
handed down and filed in the office
of the clerk of such court. 1t is pro-
vided that all laws inconsistent with
these provisions will be repealed or
appropriately amended but of course
this act does not repeal or amend
any provisions of law relating to wa
ter which is not necessarily rendered
of no effect. This act is to be en-
forced Immediately after its passage.
The experience of the past few
years has clearly demonstrated that
every feasible irrigation possibility
in the state must be developed if
Montana is to have a substantial and
permanent basis for its prosperity.
In the construction of any project
one of the first problems to be con-
sidered is the determination of the
existing valid rights on the stream
from which water is to be diverted
and unless there has been a court de-
it is practically impossible to
find out what these rights are. The
physical abandonment of a ditch,

A NEW WATER RIGHT CODE FOR MONTANA
RECOMMENDED b Y H MONTAN IRRIGATION N DRAINAGE INSTITUTE
GEORGE o SANFORD President

One of the important measures tt
be considered at the coming session
of the Montana legislature is the re
vision of the water right code. The
present law, based upon the. early
water right laws of California, has
been amended from time to time, but
even now it falls far short of meas
uring up to present needs, and in
order to fall in line with other states
where irrigation is practiced, a radi-
cal change is necessary both as to
policy and procedure if the state of
Montana is to make rapid advance
ment in it's irrigation development.
The proposed code places the
waters of the state under the super
vision of a board of control, consist
ing of the state engineer and a SUI
perintendent from each division into
which the state will be divided, prob
ably four, and this board passes upon
and determines the water rights on
all streams of the state. These men
are appointed by the governor and
the law provides that they must be
qualified by education, training and
experience to fill the positions. The
fundamental principle of the propos-
ed code is that the right to the use
of water shall be based upon bene-
fetal use and that water shall be
appurtenant to the land. Existing
valid rights are not affected by the
proposed code.
The proposed code recites that wa
ter for irrigation is a natural want
and follows section Is of article 8 of
the state constitution by declaring
the waters of every natural stream to
be the property of the public and
dedicates the same to the use of the
public, subject of course to vested

The seedgrowers of the Milk river
valley met at the farm bureau office
in Chinook last week and completed
the organization of the Milk River
Valley ~seedgrowers' association.
The constitution and bylaws were
adopted and directors elected as fol
lows: T. M. Everett, Harlem; H. B.
Bonebright of Chinook, for a term
of two years, Phil Buckley of Har-
lem and John Acher of Zurich for a
term of one year; R. M. Clarkson of
Chinook for a term of three years.
Twenty-seven members have already
Joined the association and it is hoped
that all the seedgrowers in the Milk
river valley as well as any outside
the valley who are growing seed will
join the organization so that the seed
raised in the county will all be sold
through the seed growers associa-
ton.
w. B. Sands of Chinook was elect
ed temporary chairman and H. B.
Boneright of Chinook temporary sec
rotary. James Griffith told how the
Yellowstone valley seed growers had
formed their organization and told
about the results that they had ac-
complished. A number of the others
present pointed out the various ways
in which the seed growers ~associa-
tion would be beneficial and all were
unanimous for proceeding with the
organization.
The directors will meet during the
week to decide definitely on the work
to be done in handling this years
seed crop, to arrange for sending out
publicity for advertising in leading
farm papers and to elect the officers,
president, vice president, secretary
and treasurer of the association. The
members present expressed a strong
sentiment for starting publicity i'm
mediately in order to get the asso-
before the public. 1t was left
for the directors to decide the meth
cd of handling this years seed, whe-
Their the cleaners should be purchas-
ed Immediately or not until after the
