 Disagreements arose between the landholders under the Stene filings and Stene. Charges of mismanage- ment were made to the state water commissioner, and a hearing was asked. Stene did not appear at the hearing, which was held before the commissioner Dec. 15, but on his written request he was allowed to abandon the water filings The land claimants having already organized as the Lotus Valley Water Users association then presented a filing for the construction of a dam and reservoir on the Williams river suit able for the irrigation requirements of the Lotus valley lands. This filing was admitted to .he records by the water commissioner on the ground Of the preference rights given irrigation over power in the water code of the state of Arizona.
 The preliminary work looking to the organization of an irrigation dis trict under the state and federal laws including surveys and reports by competent engineers has since been carried forward by the association. Recognition of the possibilities of the project by the United States recla mation service was recently secured. On petition of the association, ap- proved by Director Davis of the rec
 lamation service, all lands in the
 vicinity of the reservoir site have been withdrawn from entry or other private claims by the secretary of the interior until the association can complete it's surveys and file it's right of way maps.

Eighty-One Full Years

The Observation-Disclosures complet-
ed its eighty-first year last Thursday
and begins its eighty-second volume
with this number.
This is greater age than most of our
Maine exchanges can claim, should
they be disposed to speak of age. We
can see no very good reason for boast
ing of the age of a newspaper or any
particular advantage accruing from
It, The present status of the Report
er Is of more consequence to its pub
fishers and the public than its age or
.tts .ts previous history. Much more i'm
portant than an accumulation of years
is large number of widely distribut-
ed readers. a substantial advertising
patronage, loyal support from the
people or somerset County ana an un-
derstanding that the paper Is con-
stantly striving to promote the moral
and material interests of the commun
tiles In this portion of Maine. These
things are essentials; the question of
youth and age are largely matters of
sentiment. There is much of stern
reality closely allied to the running of
q country newspaper and the traction
of sentiment permissible Is not a ma
jority fraction by any means. People
may reverence honorod years in the
individual and even in lesser degree
in a newspaper but the ability to set
there counts for much more in the
rough and tumble existence that
comes to the average man OF business
and In any commercial enterprise.
The Reporter under that name, dates
only from 1867 when the Republican
Clarion was purchased by Col. 2. A.
Smith from the famous Moses Little
field and the name changed to Som
erset Reporter, thereafter modified to
the Independent-Rep The Re-
porter Is not unmindful of the favors
received from the people Of Somerset
County, and 1t hopes that they have
been and will continue to be merited.
With this sentiment seriously at
heart, 1t makes dignified bow as be-
comes a paper 50 years old, and wish
es its patrons a Happy New Year.

Moses Leighton was one of the earl

ried Betsy Rogers of Rochester, N.
II. With him came also his son, Eli
jah, who later made settlement of
his own. A number of incidents are
mentioned in connection with this ia
mily, which helped the readers of to-
day to realize something of the con-
ditions under which the early resi-
dents of the town labored. 1t Is
said that Mr.. Leighton once brought
In on his back from Skowhegan a
half bushel of -four and small grind
stone, it being necessary then to buy
all the store supplies for the set
tiers families in Skowhegan. Another
time Mrs. Leighton was called to
see sick daughter and went alone
for some distance thru the woods at
night carrying torch to frighten
bears and other wild animals from
