WATER PUBLIC PROPERTY Claims on Power Streams Must Ba Put to Immediate Use or Forfeit ed to State Precedent aa to Riparian Rights. SALEM, Or., Jan. J. (Special.) Ono of the most important decisions that has been handed down by the Oregon Su preme Court in many years was placed on record today, when the court held that the Congressional act of March 3, 1S77. re- . lating to settlement on public lands, lim its all riparian rlfhts subsequently ac quired except to the extent of the use of water for domestic purposes. It Is esti mated that SO per cent of the settlements In Eastern Oregon have been made aince 1S77. Practically all the water power rights In the state have been acquired since that time. This decision, therefore, limits the rights of such riparian owners to the rights they have acquired .as ap proprlators, except as to domestic uses, which are too unimportant to be worth consideration. Speculative Privileges De nied. Under this decision, it is impossible for any person or corporation to acquire and hold a power or irrigation right for spec ulative purposes.
