1 RIPARIAN OWNERS'
I RIGHT TO FLOW DF
' STREAMS UPHELD
- Salem, June 1 5. Interference with
; the natural flow of a stream lnso-
, ; faras it interferes with rights of ri
? parian owners thereon, is forbidden
under the Oregon ,law, , according
, to an ' opinion written by Justice
, , Benson and handed down by the
supreme court this morning:.
The opinion is based on appeal in the
case of John P. Logan vs. the Spalding
Logging company. Logan is ths owner
of a grist mill located on the banks of
- the Lucklamute river in Polk cbnnty, the
- ' mill having; been In operation for SO
- years. , v-';. - '-
For some 20 years the Spauldlng Log
. ging company has been sluicing togs
down the river, this operation, accord
ing to Loan'i -contention, greatly inter
fering with the operation of his mill.
1 la March.. 1918. the public service com-
- j mission . issued an order granting the
logging company a franchise for the use
of splash dams in its logging operations
t on the river, whereupon Logan brought
t suit to prevent the use of the splash
l dams , as depriving him of his riparian
rights.'
The lower court upheld Logan and en
i . Joined the logging company from any
increase or decrease in the natural flow
of the stream. - This decree is so-modi-i
fled by the opinion of the supreme court
- as to limit the inhibition ..of the use of
the splash dams to such a' use as works
an injury to the rights of the riparian
' Owner." : ; -;: --- -i -.- --,

' By Harding L. Rogers
Washington, June 15. (I. N.
.) Thoroughly angered by what
he considers the betrayal by the
Republicans of the farmers of
America, Benjamin C. Marsh, sec
retary and director of legislation of
the Farmers National council, to
day embarked upon a campaign of
publicity planned to convince poli
ticians the farmer : vote is a power
to be reckoned with at : election
time. ... i .:J-V.':-.:";.-r-
Marsh has just returned from Chi
cago, where he presented, the . platform
of the farmers' national council to a
committee of the Republican national
convention, j '
The section of the Republican plat
form on agriculture does not contain
a single declaration to reassure - the
farmers of i America," said - Marsh.
"While it expresses the belief of the
Republican party that the crux of the
present difficulty in the farming ' in
dustry . lies in prices, labor and credit,
and that the situation can be improved
by adequate farm representation in ap
pointments of government officials and
commissions, , it does not "pledge this
representation. - Why not?"
Marsh asserted the platform mentions
several specific evils in the agricultural
situation without attempting to provide
a remedy for them, and declared no
suffering patient could,' ever be per
suaded that a diagnosis Is as good as
a cure. :,':;-, :
Failure of the platform to provide
for amendment of the federal farm loan
act to facilitate acquisition of farm land,
lack of a pledge to enact legislation . to
give farmers long , time credits and
failure to authorise continuance of the
federal trade commission were other
shortcomings with which he .charged the
framers of the Republican platform.
