TO ADJUDlCATE
WATER RIGHTS

All users and claimants of, In or to
its tributaries have been otified that
pursuant to a specified section of the
1915 Nevada session laws the state
engineer will consider any and all
maps, plats, surveys, and evidence on
file in his Office relating to any proof
of appropriation involved In the pro-
ceedings for the determination of the
relative rights in and TO the waters
of the said river and its tributaries in
Churchill, Douglas, Lyon and Ormsby
counties, and that he will submit his
finding to the court under the provis-
ions of the law
The users have been notified, fur
ther, that they may, within sixty
days, or until June 10th of this year,
file with the state engineer and ad-
ditionaf or supplementary maps, plats,
surveys, or evidence, or objections to
the admissibility Of any evidence hith-
erto presented and filed In relation to
claims of water right, or adverse to
the claims of the water right of any
other party, in order to protect claims,
and that the whole will be considered
in rendering the order of determina-
ton, and shall become part of the
record which shall be submitted to
the court as provided by law.
The principal reasons for the en-
gineer's determination to take this
step are:
l. The fact that Italian ranchers
along the lower part of the river are
preparing to bring suits against water
users higher up in an effort to get
more water.
2. Threatened litigation because OF
opposition to the Springmeyer applica-
tion for permission TO change the
point of use.
3. That titles may be cleared with
regard to water available for storage
purposes.
4. Under the supreme court decis-
ion handed down few weeks ago in
the Scossa case 1t is necessary for the
court to issue an original decree COW
ering the facts before an adjudication
is finally valid. 1t is claimed that as
the matter now stand no adjudication
has been accomplished along this
river, as the findings made by A. e.
Chandler about fifteen years ago have
never been passed on by the court.
The state engineer has announced
that 1t will be unnecessary for users
to appear or make any further show
ing in the case they are willing to
have the water distributed as under
the Chandler findings.

SUGAR MAY GO TO "a
CENTS PER POUND RETAIL

Sugar will retail at from % to "a
cents pound within two weeks in
the opinion of Frank b. Connolly,
secretary of the San Francisco Re-
tail Grocers' Association. This was
announced after the receipt of a wire
from New York stating that the new
stock Of raw sugar was being sold at
$1729 a hundred. which. after adding
the cost of refining and the whole
salers' and retailers profit, will bring
the price to approximately "a cents a
pound to consumer.
The west is considerably better sit
uated to cope with the sugar shortage
than the east, in the large consign-
ments of Hawaiian cane sugar are
expected within the next few days that
will retail at the old price, and tide
the Pacific coast over until the arrival
of the new beet sugar crop In August.
In speaking of the sugar situation,
Connolly stated:
"The price of sugar Is practically
controlled by the owners OF Cuban
raw sugar, as rs per cent of the sugar
used in this country is imported from
Cuba. French and English interests
have control of the stock now"
The first shipment of sugar from
Germany since the war is afloat and
is expected to arrive at New York
within several weeks. This sugar
has already been sold at the high
price of 1925 hundred pounds net
with duty paid.

Law and Democracy
(New York World ]


 Charles Evans Hughes, in an address delivered a. the centenary celebration of the Harvard Law School recently lays down a principle and exposes fallacy of democratic progress which have spec ial significance in their direct bearing corrupt tendencies of legislation
 Tt is true said the former Justice of the Su- preme Court that democracy cannot live without respect for law, but it must be remembered that law in democracy will have only the respect it de- serves" Moreover, "a passion for legislation is not a sign of democratic progress, and in the mass of measures introduced in the Legislatures our free Commonwealths there is too little evidence of nercep i've and abundance of elaborate and dreary flu tilities. We constantly impressed with the lost motion and the waste in the endeavor of democracy to function wisely"
 The boast of the late Republican Congress that it had put laws in the statute-books than any other shows this passion for legislation become a disease; and how many bales of good sheepskin and of print paper have been put the wasteful of preserving the elaborate and dready futilies' which record the lost motion of democracy function ing with only to the quantity of laws through its half-hundred busy Legislatures! At least the industry of lawmaking never sackens, in fat years lean.
 But the gravest manifestations of the passion for legislation untred by the test of necessity of accordance with the public will is it's inroad the law. lawmaking habit from which not the Constitution is is obseSsion a form of legislative parano which may properly excite American democracy frees in its functions when it had fewest laws and the spec tace of Lilliputan legislators shackling the giant with statutes that merely impede the free develop ment of democracy is thing to alarm its friends in the degree that it necessarily comforts it's enemies
