Sixth PORTLAND. OB COFFEEC TEA SPICES BAKING POWDER EXTRACTS , JUST RIGHT (3-CLOSSET&DEVEU PORTLAND. ORE.' J Review of Provisions of Code Passed by the Legislature. By John H. Lewis, State Engineer. A water law for Oregon, which is believed to be the best among all the states of the Union, i came effective on February 24, 1909. Complete state control is provided. No water right can hereafter be acquired without com pliance with this law. It abolishes the old requirement of posting a notice on the bank of the stream. Hereafter, the priority of all rights will be deter mined by the date of receipt of an ap plication in the office of the state engi neer. II the application is aeiective, it will be returned for correction with out losing its priority. The leading feature of this bill is the limitation of franchises to the use of water for power development to a period of 40 years from the date of ap plication, and the requirement that reasonable fees be paid to the state in all cases by those benefitted. The schedule of fees has been designed to ultimately pay the entire cost of ad ministration, thus relieving the gen eral tax payer, who derives only an indirect benefit through the added pros perity resulting from increased development. The payment to the state of an an nual license fee of 25 cents to $2 per horse power hereafter appropriated was provided by the Eaton bill, which takes effect on May 22. This fee is to be collected by the board of control and adjusted from time to time, based upon the percentage of power appro priated which is put to beneficial use. In brief, the new water code creates a board of control, composed of the state engineer and the division super intendent of each of the two water di visions into which the state has been divided, and upon this board rests the responsibility of determining and re cording all water rights heretofore ini tiated, the granting of new rights in accordance with law, and the protec tion of all water rights through a com prehensive administrative system. Before any protection can be granted to vested rights under the new law, such rights must first be determined and recorded. Where' numerous ditches tap a stream, and especially if the stream is long and the summer flow limited, state protection is necessary. The cost and time consumed in de termining rights under the old law was very great. The water users along Silver creek, in Lake county, joined in a friendly suit., to determine their rights, so that a water master could be employed to distribute the meager supply, thus preventing annually re- curring disputes. Fourteen lawyers were employed on only one side of this case. Recently, the case was decided by the Supreme court, after nine years in courts. During- this time, one of the contestants died, one became in sane, and a number, tiring of . the con flict, sold to others. If the experience of Wyoming is any guide, the most complicated case can probably be decided, under the new law, within a year. The cost is set out in the law and is designed to be less than the cost of an abstract to the land. For irrigation rights, the cost will be fifteen cents per acre for each acre for which a water right is claimed up to one hun dred acres, five cents from one hun dred to .one thousand inclusive, and one cent for each acre in excess of one thousand acres. For power, the cost will be twenty-five cents for each theoretical hcrse power claimed, up to and including one hundred, fifteen cents from one hundred to one thou sand, inclusive, five cents from one thousand to two thousand, inclusive, and two cents per horse power above two thousand, the minimum fee in either case to be two dollars and fifty cents. For any other claim to water the fee is five dollars. The procedure ia simple. A list of questions is sent to each claimant or owner on the stream. He is required, under forfeiture of his right, to answer the questions which, together with a survey of streams and land areas and measurements of the water supply by the state engineer, furnish all neces sary information for an adjucation of rights. The maps and all statements, signed under oath before the superin tendent, are submitted upon a given day for examination by all interested parties. If anyone thinks his neighbor is making an eroneous or extravagent claim, his temtimony can be contested. By this procedure, all errors can be corrected and, if necessary, further tes timony taken. As soon as possible, an order is entered by the board, determ ining the rights. This order is put in to execution at once and later filed with the Circuit court for confirmation. If no appeals are taken, the order is con firmed. If the case is" not reopened within six monthr, the decree becomes final. Upon such final determination, water right certificates are issued in accord ance with the decree. These certifi cates are then recorded in the county records and bear the same relation to the water title as the patent from the United States does to the land title. The right of each user from the stream or from a large ditch, will thus be de tirmined. The law makes the grant to the use of water for irrigation ap purtenant to the land irrigated. The title thereafter passes with the land. APIL N A. Flavoring. It makes. syrup better than Maple. Sold by grocer .last urata. "He's such an apparent liar," said Towne, "and so reckless.

Boston Traveler. thus making it necessary to follow land titles thereafter in abstracts. No right to the use of water from the streams of the state can hereafter be acquired for any purpose without compliance with law. For intelligent use and development of our water re sources some central office must be provided, where a reliable record of all water rights can be found. The di version of water without the necessary permit is made a misdemeanor. The application should be accompan ied by a fee of $3 for examining the same, together witn tne additional fees, depending upon the proposed use, as follows : For irrigation, graduated as follows: 15 cents per acre from 0 to 100 acres; 6 cents per acres from 100 to 1,000 acres; 1 cent per acre for each acre in excess of 1,000. For power, graduat ed aa follows : 25 cents per horse power from 0 to 100; 10 cents per horse power from 100 to 1,000; 5 cents per . horse power in excess of 1,000. For any other purposes, including ap plications by municipaliteis, $5. Three different forms are provided for the appropriation of water; one to be used in case of new appropriations. another to be used where the appropri ation is to be n:nde by the enlargement or extension of existing works and a third form where the application is for a permit to construct a reservoir and impound, surplus waters. A separate application must be made for permit to appropriate stored waters prior to its application to beneficial use. This application is made on the first form mentioned above, and is then known as a secondary permit, and must refer to the primary permit, and to the reser voir from which the water supply is to be derived. These forms, together with instructions, can be secured by addressing the state engineer, Salem. Work must commence within one year from the date of application and be completed within a reasonable time, as fixed in the permit, not to exceed five years. If the water is applied to the bene ficial use within the time allowed, proof is taken of such fact by the di vision superintendent and a certificate issued the applicant by the board of control. This certificate is of the same form as issued to early appropriators upon determination of their rights, as described above. The new method of initiating water rights may seem cumbersome as com pared with the old method, but it is worth all it costs. The right, when finally granted, js absolutely deter mined as to all rights hereafter initi ated. It will be determined as to all the world, after a determination as above outlined. This determination is made without cost to the new appro priated No large canal can be operated with out one or more water masters to di vide the water in accordance with the rights and needs of the different later als. Likewise, irrigation from public streams cannot be a success without water masters to regulate diversions The use of streams to convey stored water to its place of use was impossi ble under the old law, and the con struction of many reservoirs was thus prevented. As rights are determined under the new law, districts are created and water masters appointed, where de manded by the water users, to enfore the decrees of the board or of the courts. This officer is accountable to the division superintendent and pro tects, not only the early rights, but al so all new rights and the rights of res ervoir owners. When a headgate has been lawfully closed to admit the proper quantity of water, or shut entirely, it is a misde meanor for the owner to disturb it. If the gate has been wrongfully opened during the nijrht, the presence of moist ure in the ditch in the morning is de clared to be sufficient evidence to con vict the owner ef unlawful use. With such an officer available, capi tal will not hesitate to invest in stor age works. The water, when released, can and will be protected by the water master, no matter how many ditches intervene, and the owner permitted to divert an equal amount, less that lost by seepage and evaporation. The final object of the new water law is the protection of vested rights, when determined, and to encourage the development and use of our un appropriated waters. This encourage ment is provided in the definite pro cedure for acquirement of new rights. The fees are of no consequence to the one who contemplates putting the water to beneficial use. In fact, the certainty of right, which is essential as a basis for intelligent investment on a large scale, is worth far more than it costs. The old-time notice man, whose chief business under the old law was to hold up the public, is effectively discouraged by these fees. The office of the board of control is located at Salem. It is composed of three members, appointed by the gov ernor as follows: John H. Lewis, state engineer, Salem, president; F. M. Saxton, Baker City, and H. L. Hol gate, Bonanza, Klamath county. Messrs. Hoi gate jand Saxton are re spectively the division superintendents of the Western and Eastern water di visions. The board, or its respective members, will be glad to assist the public as far as possible under the new code and will furnish information upon request. Chocolate Creams.
