The largest list of objections and exceptions to be filed to the Powder River Water adjudication, was entered this momine bv the land owners of Lower Powder, 38 in all, j headed by Margaret b. Blackburn. The chief contentions are that their use of water was previously secured by vested rights, and that to reduce the amount found necessary by past exptrience, would be unconstitutional. The contention is also made that wa-; ter 3'rould be measured at the point J at which it is taken from the ditch to ! i be used on the land, instead of at the j J y f i Always Look To point where it enters the ditch from the stream. Two other objections to the ad judication were filed this morning, on? oy George Burr rnd Ebenezcr Bun, in regard to the u.se of the waters of Pine creek, rnd one by Wm. A.
