The only hcwb of intercut this
week in connection with the Dea

miles of the survey, and has usked
for the maps of the remaining 90
miles. It is understood he has uImj
npprovctl the map of the Oregon

patches arc to the effect that the
approval is conditioned on the slip
ulation that the railroad shall re
move of rulfc its truck whenever
the government desires to build the
dam for the reclamation project.

for the Ilarritnun hues, said: "Nat

A BLACK EYE FOR
RIPARIAN RIGHTS
United States Supreme Court
Rules Against That Doctrine.
MAY BE OF LOCAL INTEREST
Highest Court In the Land Holds That
Riparian Land Owners Can Not
Prevent Taking of Water (or
Irritation Purposes.
Washington, April 19. In the case
of the llopiillat Land & Cattle Company,
of Arirona, vs, J. N. Curtis ami others,
Ihe Supreme Court of Ihe United States
held today that riparian land-owners
could not prevent the taking by others
of water out of a alreain for Irrigation
purpotea, limply hrcautc of such owner
.hip, The Iloulllas Company owns all
the laud on both tides of the San Pedro
river for about 15 nillea, and it sought
by Injunction to prevent Curtis and Ills
aatociates from building a dam and tak
ing water scrota their land for the pur
note of irrigating other proiierty. To
day's opinion, delivered by Juatice

luwcr court.
The news contained in the above
item, which appeared in last week's
dailies, has aroused considerable
interest in Ik-nd and vicinity. The
reason for this interest is that the
Supreme Court's decision may have
a direct !cnr1ng on several cases of
great local interest.
Last winter A. M. Drake filed
suit against the D. I. & P. Co. to
enjoin the company from diverting
water above Bend in excess of that
required for the Pilot Huttc and
Central Oregon canals. Mr. Drake
cluimcil that diversion of water
above Hcud in excess of that above
indicated would result iu injury to
his interests at this place. He re
lics partly iion his riparian owner
ship to uphold him In the buit, nud
gave out at the time that one ob
ject for filing the suit was to en
able him to appeal the case to the
U. S. Supreme Court and thus test
the validity of the late decision of
the Oregon Supreme Court, which
practically did away with all ri-

parian ownership in connection
with lands acquired from the gov
ernment since 1S77.
, Another suit to restrain the com
pany from diverting water from the
Deschutes has been filed by Chas
Altschul, whose claim lo the water
is based entirely upon riparian own
ership. Thus it is that the above de
cision may be of great interest lo
cally. Until all the facts in regard
to the Arizona cisc are known, and
until all the points involved can be
examined, it can not be known
whether the decision applies to the
local cases, but it is very probable
the points at law involved in the
Arizona case are similar to those in
the above mentioned local cases.
It would appear from the above
dispatch that this decision of the
U. S, Supreme Court upholds-the
ruling of the state Supreme Court
which practically denies riparian
ownership to water. In Arizona
law, the doctrine of "appropriation"
is in force as against that of ripar
ian ownership
FOREST EXPERT HAS
BEGUN EXPERIMENTS
TeMs What He WW Do to Reforests.
tloa at Rostand Other Items of
General Interest frea Central
and Southern Oregon.
T. T. Mungers, the forest expert
who will conduct experiments in re
forestation at Rostand, b now at
that place ready to begin his work.
In regard to the character of his
experiments, Mr. Mungers said:
"I will probably lay off three
plots of about one acre each, and
try three different methods. One
will be to scatter pine seeds broad
cast, unothcr will be to plant seeds
with a cornplanter, and on the
other I will plant some yellow pine
seedlings from the government
nursery stock. These plots pill be
marked so that forestry officers will
be able to visit them from time to
time to see what results can be ob
tained. The forest rangers in that
dbtrict will assist me in the work.
"It will take probably four or
five years' lime before wc cau ar
rive at any conclusion as to results,
and I willsimply plant the seeds
and young trees and let nature take
her course. There are large areas
iu the region about Crescent lake
iu northern Klamath county which
are barren, and the Rosland ex
periments will indicate wh-t can be
done there as well, for the soil and
conditions are practically the
same.
According to the Prineville Jour
nal Mr. Mungers says the depart
ment is making many experiments
in the way of iuttodticiug the valu
able eastern hardwoods into' the for
ests of Oregon and Washington,
and that in case experiments show
the idea to tie practical the intention
is to take up this work on an ex
tensive acale.
After completing his work at
Rosland, Mr. Mungers will con
tinue south to Lnkeview.

CLAIM LIQUOR IS
SOLD UNLAWFULLY
Anonymous Writer Complains to
District Attorney Wilson.
ATTORNEY WANTS EVIDENCE
Says It Is the Duty of Cveryene Who
Has Proof That Liquor Is Behtf
Illegally SoM to Report the
Facts to Proper Officers.
TiiRDALLRS.Or., April 26, 1909,
To the Editor: I am in receipt
of an anonymous letter dated Laid
law, April nth, 1909, in which
the writer states that intoxicating
liquor is being sold both at Laid-
law and Bend, in violation of the
prohibitory laws, and complaining
that the law in this regard is not
being enforced. The letter, as
stated, is anonymous and simply
signed "Chairman of Committee
who Investigated" end does not
give the name of a single witness
who could be called by me in an
investigation.
We will all agree that an anony
mous letter does not tine to the
dignity of calling for a reply, but
as this i. a matter in which we are
all interested, both officially, and
as citizens who arc desirous of see
ing a. due and proper observance of
all laws, and as I am unable to re
ply to the writer personally by rea
son of not knowing bis name, I
take this opportunity of saying to
the law abiding citizens of the com
munity and county, that if at any
time I am given the names of those
who can and will testify or who
have facts in their possession re
garding any violation of the liquor
or other laws, subpoenas will be
promptly issued for their appear
ance before the grand jury and, as
far as iu my power lies, a vigorous
prosecution will be made.
It can readily be seen by any one
who will consider the question for
a moment that a duty lies upon the
citizens of a community as well as
upon the officials, aud letters writ
ten anonymously, giving nd inti
mation of what witnesses cau be
secured, written in words of criti
cism but offering not the slightest
suggestion of assistance, can avail
nothing. No official, however
eager and earnest he may be
iu the discharge of bis duty, can go
on a blind hunt for evidence over
an area covering hundreds of square
miles. This is an utter impossi
bility as any fair minded person
will speedily recognize. But where
violations do occur and those who
are iu possession of the facts aud
who arc desirous of seeiug the law
enforced, will make known such
facts to the proper officials the ma
chinery of the law can be placed in
motion and results secured.
I apologize to the alitor for tak
ing so much space iu replying to an
anonymous communication but I
wish to make mv position clear
and that is this. I am ready aud
willing at any and all times to
prosecute all proper complaints
brought to my attention and r am
sure every other of your officials
feels the same way, There is a
right nnd a wrong way of doing
things and the tight' way, as I
view it, in instances of this kind, is
for the person knowing of any vio
lation of the law to make complaint
to the sheriff, the district attorney
or his deputy, glvlug them the evi
dence relating to the charge as
much as is possible, or an intima
tion where such evidence can be
secured, and then it is up to these
officials' and tbc juries to do the
rest.
I truit that all who read this let
ter will understand the spirit in
which it is written, which k en
tirely fair upon my part, and siaply
to the end that we all may usder
stand one another and the proper
result attained, I shall not is the
future troable yo with aay farther
replies to anonymous letters aad
thank you for your courtesy ia
giving room in your coluraas for
this communication.
Respectfully yours,
Fkkd W. Wilson,
