On Petition for Rehearing
KEETON, Justice.
Defendant’s petition for rehearing asserts that the above opinion overrules the case of Farmers Co-op. Ditch Co. v. Riverside Irrig. Dist. Ltd., 14 Idaho 450, 94 P. 761, and in effect holds that it is necessary in order to appropriate water to a beneficial use that an application for a permit to the State Reclamation Engineer should be made.
The opinion does not overrule the holding in Farmers Co-op. Ditch Co. v. Riverside Irrig. Dist. Ltd., supra, nor does it hold that an application to appropriate water to the State Reclamation Engineer is necessary, nor does it hold that defendant cannot appropriate and own water.
The opinion simply holds that the water in question in this action was not appropriated or used by defendant, and the opinion is conformable to many precedents long recognized and established. Petition for rehearing is denied.
TAYLOR, C. J., ANDERSON and SMITH, JJ., and BAKER, District Judge,, concur.
