RIPARIAN
RIGHTS
GET SEVERE JOLT
Supreme Court Renders Deci
sion Materially Affecting
the Proprietors.
RIGHT TO USE WATER
Ioabt a to Whether Owner of the
land Through "Which the Stream
Flows Can tTs the Waters to
the Detriment of Others.
8AL.EM, Or.. April 28 (Special.) The
Supreme Court today gave the doctrine
of riparian rights a severe Jolt and in an
opinion in an irrigation suit ued language
which pave the way for a later decision
very materially limiting the rights of ri
parian proprietors in this state.
The case decided today did not involve
a. direct decision upon the extent of the
rights of a. riparian proprietor, so that
the lw upon that question is not de
clared, but tlie court took occasion to
state two questions upon which the law
is In doubt, and Intimated that the law
may be different from what it has been
generally assumed to be. The remarks of
the court will serve to start men who are
interested in the use of water thinking
about the questions involved, and sooner
or later thee questions wilPoe before the
court tyr solution.
Otte of AVlllianirt Against Alt now.
The opinion In which the extent of ri
parian rights has been brought in ques
tion was written by Chief Justice Bean in
the ca.se of S. S. Williams and others
neat nut William Altnow and others, from
Harney County. The case was tried and
decided by Judge Cieorge E. Davis, and
on appeal was modified in the opinion by
Justice Bean. The case involved the
rights of ull the ranchers using water
from Otis Creek and its tributaries, all
of which run into the Malheur Hiver.
The opinion is a lengthy one. setting
forth the separate and distinct rights of
each of the claimants to the use of water
on certain described lands.
In passing upon the rights of the de
fendant, Altnow, th court uses the fol
lowing language, which serves to Jar
loose the supposed well-fixed right of a
rtparian proprietor to the use of water for
irrigation as against an appropriation, or
to have the water flow in its channel un
diminished in quantity and unimpaired in
quality:
Opinion of Supreme Court.
It is contended that the defendant, Alt
now, Is entitled to the um or w.tr from
Warm iHrlnir Creek, by right of prior ap
propriation, to th extent of his original
appropriation, and to the surplus water la
ueh s ream , If any, as ripa rla.n proprietor,
because tlte lilinjr of his predecessor in Inter
est whs the first one made on the stream.
There are severnl reasons why this position
4innot be sustained. In the first place. In
t he ' opinion of the writer, It Is doubtful
whether the owner of land, through which
a non -navigable stream flows, ean claim the
rig lit, as riparian proprietor, to ue the
water I hereof for Irrigation. as against
suhequent impropriators on the stream be
low htm.
And again, it Is a serious question whether
the Desert Land Act does not abolish the so
culled niodlfted doctrine of riparian rights,
which gives to riparian proprietors the right
to itt use of water for Irrigation, as to alt
lands, through which mm-navigable streams
flow, the title to which "has been acquired
from the Government of the 1'nlted States
fines the passage of that act (177. It de
clares that all surplus waters, over and
above that appropriated by the dsert lsnd
claimant, together with th-s waters of. all
lakes, rivers and other source of water
supply, upon the publlo lands, and not
navigable, shall remain and be held free for
the appropriation and use of the public for
irrigation, mining and manufacturing, sub
ject to existing rights.
The Oovernmen-t of the Ignited States, as
primary owner of the sol!.' undoubtedly had
(he right to make such provision concern
ing the waters of non-navigable streams
thereon, as It deemed iroier. and it is at
Yeast a debatablo question whether, by the
language quoted, Congress did not Intend
to recognise and asxeut to the appropriation
of such waters in contravention to the com
mon law dot-trine of riparian rights as to
rersnns subsequently acquiring title from
the 1'nlted States.
l 8. Supremo Ouurt Hasn't leiriod.
The court says, however, that the de
termination of Altnow's right does not
require a decision upon either of the
questions suggested, for a riparian pro
prietor cannot assert rights as both an
appropriates and a riparian proprietor.
The questions mooted In this case have
never been passed upon by the United
States Supreme Court. They were before
the Washington Supreme Court some time
ago but were not decided because the
case was determined by other questions.
The language used by the Oregon Su
preme Court is probably the strongest
that has been used hy any Supremo Court
In the United States, as raising a doubt
ss to the existence of riparian rights as
they have been understood.
A decision definitely announcing the
t. onelusions strongly Indicated by Justice
Bean would have a disastrous effect on
the claims of those riparian owners of
water power sites In Kastcm Oregon who
have been leaving their water powers un
developed believing that their right under
the rommon law doctrine of riparian
rights could not be taken away by ap
propriations for irrigation purposes.
I STLK KOCR WILIj EXPAND
Votes I nanimously to Annex District
Eat of the City.
('APTLK ROCK. Wash.. April 28.
(Special.) A special election was held
here last Saturday to determine the
question as to whether or not a large
urea on the east side of town should be
innexed to the city. While rather a
light vote was cast, considerable inter
est was taken In the election. The vote
in the city proper was unanimous for
annexation, while that In the territory
annexed was almost so, only two dis
senting votes being cast. This is the
most desirable residence portion of the
town, being; high and eiglitly, and as
soon as the water mains and electric
light wires are extended, it is expected
it will rapidly be built up with homes.
The lack of water and lights has kept
people from building there to any great
extent heretofore, but now that these
obstacles will be removed, a rapid
change Is expected.

MEDFORD, Or., April 28. (Special.)
Fruitgrowers have been carefully ex

Medford. and while there was a thin
sheet of Ice Friday night, followed by
another frost Saturday night, which haa
injured the berry crop materially and
the cherry crop to some extent, it is the
consensus of opinion among; the fruit
men that the pear crop in many- or
chards is only thinned to an extent
which will do away with much hand
thinning. The apple crop as yet re
mains untouched from the frost. In
some of the orchards pears were not
damaged at all. Mr. Hopklno, of the
Snowy Butte orchard, states that the
pear crop is slightly damaged. Mr.
Perkins, of the Hill Crest orchard, re
ports only a slight thinning of the fruit,
and Mr. Perry, of the Fruitgrowers'
Union, believes no damage has been
done other than, perhaps, a slight losa
on the young and tender apple and pear

The mercury dropped to freezing and
water congealed in pipes.
To what extent the fruit has suf
fered cannot be ascertained at this
time, but reports confirm that apples,
pears and peaches have all been dam
aged 25 per cent. Strawberries, lo
gans, potatoes and all early vegetables
have been frosted to the ground and
blackened by the freeze, particularly
on bottom-lands, but in foothills It Is
believed the fruit crop has not been
materially shortened. Coming as it
did. upon a mild and exceedingly open

Prospects thus far are for the biggest

promise to be prolific though strawberry
blooms were damaged In some of the low

While reports are yet limited, because
