Salem— The numerous filings that

Many of the power projects have good

The doctrine o f beneficial use which

As the law stands, any one can file on
water for power purposes, and by doing
a small amount of work each year can
prevent any one else from appropriat

plies to irrigation and a movement is
on foot to change the law so that no
man can appropriate more water for ir

good use. 8tate regulation of the flow
and distribution of all waters is fast be

land states. To regnlate abuses and
prevent their repitition, the leading
wateruaera are preparing to urge numer-
ou8_changes in the law, so tl^at the
ownership of the waters in all streams

the use and benefit of the people.
If thiq is done, it will be necessary
