any, as a riparian owner, but the
court says this position cannot be

court doubts whether - a riparian

is suggested as probable, though the
point was not specifically decided,
that the desert land act has super-

Oregon has long needed, and the
need constantly increases, a carefully
prepared, comprehensive, yet concise
and simple irrigation code, but since
it seems that no legislature Is both
willing; and competent to pass such a
statute, It will be greatly to the In

court should see Its way clear to, Bet
aside or modify the old common law
doctrine, and so advance the cause
of Irrigation. Manifestly, the law
ought, to be that no riparian owner
