any other rights adjudicated and de.
termined since that time for irripa-
ton uses, notwithstanding the fact
that its rights had never been adm
dicated. 1t claimed, among other
thlngs. that it had used the water
to the extent Of about $50 feet during
all these years without interruption
or objection on the part of any per
son an absolutely false statement, as
every intelligent water user from the
head-waters of the Platte to the
State Line knows. The writer, for
example, has protested the right of
the Denver Union Water Company
and the City's right to the use of this
water, in court and out, for over fif-
teen years, while ~rotest after protest
has been made to the State Engineer
by water users below Denver, against
the unlawful use of this water by the
City and its predecessors, and Court
proceedings had with reference there
to; it also claimed right to have
Driorities date back to 1870, under the
doctrine of relation, entirely independ-
ent of the alleged grant from the Kan
sas legislature.
The evidence in these adjudication
proceedings showed that in 1870 a
small company known as The Citi-
zens Water Company sank a we'll at
the foot of Fifteenth Street, near the
junction of Cherry Creek and the
South Platte River. and diverted from
1k to 3 cubic feet of water per sec
ond by that means. Later, in about
1878 or '79, a diversion of about 27
feet was made little further up the
river, at what is now known as the
Mississippi galleries, the old well and
pumping plant having been abandon
ed. This diversion was made by
another company for the purpose of

In the recent adjudication of water
rights in Water District No. 8, where
in the City and County of Denver. as
successor to the Denver Union Water
Company, petitioned for the adjudi-
cation of it's right to the use of water,
based upon construction, diversion and
application by the said predecessors,
will state that in 1905 the Denver
Union Water Company and the South
Platte Canal and Reservoir Company,
predecessors in interest to the City,
initiated a proceeding for the adjudi-
cation of water rights for beneficial
purposes other than irrigation. Var
ious other persons, including the
Town Of Castle Rock, filed their state
ments of claim, and some rights, in.
cluding particularly the Town Of Cas-
tie Rock, were adjudicated. Much op-
position to the claims of the Water
Company developed, and they failed to
put in their testimony, or conclude
the adjudication, so far as their claims
were concerned.
When the City purchased the water
company's property it almost immedi-

claims in this adjudication: first, that
