labor has rendered It impossible for
the llarrlnian railroad lines to work
their coal mines to any extent.. This'
throughout the West, as the shortage
of fuel will cause much suffering in
many localities if the winter shuuld

A decision of Importance, to tho Iok-

Jacob Kanim, aiitiellant, aitatnst Alex
and Fred Normond from " rintsop

This wns n suit to unjoin the de

a trial the court found the averments
of the nnswer auliHtantlally true and

Among other things the opinion
says:
"Kvery smnll creek or rivulet In

a highway it must be navigable or
: floatable in Its natural state, at or
dinary recurring winter frcHhela.long
enough to make It useful, for some
purpose of trade or agriculture."
Further the opinion says: '"A

ry nnd continuing long enough lo

Is a public highway for that, purpose

highway cannot be made one by the
use of dams or other artificial means
without rirst acquiring the rights
of riparian proprietors.
''Nor can a stream, navigable In its

The most difficult piece of construc

word that they will be nsked to put
