Ditch Appeals
The first of the White river
water right adjudication appeals
will be heard in the circuit court
tomorrow, in the case of Frank
M. Driver, who is petitioning
for right to intervene. .
This will be the start of water
cases which will occupy the circuit
court at more or less regular in
tervals during all of 1923. There
are eight exceptions in the White
river adjudication, and following
the settlement of these, will
come cases growing out of the
Mill creek, Fifteen Mile creek
and Eight Mile creek adjudica
tion. These exceptions are directly
the outgrowth of the decisions of
the state water board in its ad
judication of water rights along
the creeks in question. Persons
dissatisfied with the amount of
water allotted to them by the
state board, have the right to
appeal to the circuit court, and
trom then on the procedure is
identical with that of any othpr
civii cese, with the exception of
the taking of testimony, which
already has been done by water
board representatives.
The following is the circuit
court docket of cases in the
White river adjudication:
January 19, petition of Frank
M. Driver for right to intervene;
January 23, exceptions of W. J.
Knox; January 25, exceptions 'of
the Rock Creek and Gate Creek
Ditch companies, and also the
exceptions of the Three Mile
Ditch enmpany; January 29, ex

Ditch company; February 6, ex
ceptions of the Round Prairie
Water Ditch company; February
27, exceptions of the Lost and
Boulder Ditch company; March
29, exceptions of the Tygh Valley
High Line ditch company.
