of getting some relief from suffer

XAI.KM In n specially eoucunln
opinion by Ohlef Justice Kakltt In (lit
case of Cavities ugultist the 1
Urande Irrigation Co.. thu Chief Jus
tic put another angle mi the opinion
of Judge llurnwtt. declaring In his
specially incur ring opinion that the
efteet of one statement lit the opinion
of Justice Humett la to do away with
rlmrlrtii rights as heretufure teeog
lilted In this state.
In bis oplnnol the Chief Justice
says:
"I concur In the result of this de
cision, but I cannot Klve my conwir
to the follow Ins: statement: 'Prima
rib' uuy use of the water of a uaturrtl
stream for Iwnetlrlal purpose Is free
to him who Iihs an opportunity to
take It without Infringing upon the
property rights of another. "Con
cerning the mere diversion and use
of water there Is no difference be
tween a iiou-rlparlan impropriator
and a riparian user, provided the for
mer has n lawful right of access for
that purponu to stream form which
tho diversion Is made. The essen
tlnl condition of appropriation In the
first place on public lands was thu
consent of aetiuliwconre of the then
riparian owner, thu guneral govern
ment. The reason of tho rule Is not
changed by the fact that tho riparian
owner Is a private person., provided
the appropi lator has his consent, or
what Is equivalent, that the npproprl
otor and tho riparian owner ore thu
same person Thu deduction, then,
Is that If anyone can lawfully gnln ac
cess for that purpose to a non-navigable
stream and water Is there not
subject to use by another such n one
may appropriate It for his own use.'
Itlpnrlnii Mights (So.
"Thu effect of that statement Is to
abolish or do away with riparian
rights as hervtoforo rvcognlied In
this state."
Hy this opinion the Chief Justlco
says absolutely that his Interpreta
tion of tho oplnlnon as written by
Justlco llurnitt and concurred In by
the other three members of tho court
Is to abolish tlptrlan rights.
Should tho case go to a rehearing
and tho sti.ml takon bo rolteratcd,
It promises to havo a vastly lmor
tunt bearing, especially on the ques
tion of adjudicating water rights.
Tho Itoard of control believes It
will be a decided fsctor In future wa
ter questions coming beforo tho
board Attorneys throughout the
state who hate iweu connected with
litigation and a.lludlcatlon of water
rights have almost universally used
the doctrine of riparian rights as a
defense.
t'nder this opinion, arrurdlng to
the Interpretation of Chief Justice
ISakln, only the approprlator has a
legal light to the use of water.
Itarller water cases Jwve brought
out tho fact that the common law
doftrlntN are applicable In this state
only where there Is an apiwrent ne
cessity foe them. The doctrine of
riparian ownership Is a common law
doctrine, and under the Interpreta
tion In the nd'ill)' concurring opin
ion It Is evidently abolished us far
us Oregon Is concerned hy tho major
ity of tho court.
