Mate juriMlie lion is rero-juiied een by the fed eral j-overnment in that it require. upplieant for lein-e- eoverinj public lands o be nrl in eonneetion with the development of water power, to first comply with the luws of the Mnto ROverHinj: the appropriation of water. The position the ovemnient has taken in the past in thi mutter is outlined not only in the lnt report of e.-Seeretnry of the Interior Itel lincer. hut nlo in the message of ex l'resident Taft relatini: to the con servation of our natural resources. The president miiiI: "With respect to the puhlie land which lies nlonj; the .streams offer imr oHrtunitv to convert water power into transmissible electricity, another iuixrtnnt phae of the puh lie land question is presented. There are valuable wnterpower sites through nil the public land ntntes. The opiuiou is held that the trans fer of sovereignty from the federal government to the territorial govern ment as they became state included the wnter power in the ricr, except -o far as that owned by riparian proprietors. I do not think it nece :iry to go into u discussion of this onicw'hiit mooted question of law. It seems to me sufficient to say that the man who owns and controls the land along the stream from which the jower is to be converted and transmitted owns laud which is in dispensable to tho conversion and use of that puwer. I cannot con ceive how the ower in stream flowing through the puhlit lands can be made mailable at nil except by ti -In r tho land itself us the site for the construction of the plant by which the power is generated and converted nnd securing n right of way thereover for transmission lines. Under these conditions, if the gov ernment owns the ndjneent land in deed, if the government is the ripar ian owner it mny control the ne of the water power by impo-ing proer conditions on the dispo-itiou of the land ueec-snry in the creation and utilization of the water power." In his report, Secretary Hallinger says : "If the federal government desires to exercise control or supervision over wnterpower dcvelonment on the public domain, it can only do so by limitations imposed upon the dis posal of power and reservoir sites upon the public lands, the waters of the streams being subject to state jurisdiction in their appropriation nnd bcncficinl use."' It will be seen thnt the federal government, although congress through the iK-ort laud net of .March .'I, 187", dec-hired that ''the waters of nil Inkes, rivers mid other sources of water nupply upon tho public lauds and not navigable, shall re main mid be held freu for llie ap propriation mid use of the public for irrigation, mining and manufacturing purposes, subject to existing rights," (Hid notwithstanding it recognize Brief Directions foFarm Butter Making 1.

JO, Wikli Hiv litivr outv iwlli MEDFORD MATE TRIBUNE, slnto jurisdiction in the mutter of .ippiopu'uliou and application to u beneficial use of the witter-, of the state is endeavoring to eonliol the development of power through lis ownership of land needed for dam sties, ditch rights iif way and power house sites. The advocates of slate control in sis( that this is an aibitrarv eer eisc of power on the pint of the fed eral government; that tip to the point where navigation is interfered with the state is sovereign in nil matters orlnininr to the control of the wot rs within its bonier; that the fed 'nil government in its ownership of iiublie lauds within the state stand is a "proprietor" and not us a "mv cn'igu": and that in parting with ov eminent lauds lor rjghti of w.iv for dam sites, ditches and power houses, the government is entitled to the same consideration and compen sation, nnd no more, ns any other land owner. The government justifies its pro posed exercise of power on the round that it is in public interest; that it is being done to prevent the wnter -wwer of the seventl states from being frittered nvvny through the lack of protective water laws. If this is the only grounds upon which the government has to stand, then it should be prompt to withhold interference whenever a state ha" shown thnmuh the passage of ade quate laws that it has tbnwn every protection iinmnd the rights of the people in regard to this great re source. Oregon has sandy taken un advance stand in this direction. She lta adontcd good water laws which, while offering every reasonable in ducement to those who would develop our water powers, prevent monooly nttil offer the public every protec tion. If, however, the fcderul govern ment insists upon using the power it bus thioiigh the ownership of puh lie Innds to eontrol and regulate the development of water Hiver possibil ities, the Ferris bill, now before con gress, and xrhiuli curries the views of Svi'retnry of the Interior I.uue, is undoubtedly by far the least objec tionable measure, from the stand point of the states, that has been prooscd. The hill authorizes the lease of government lauds for a period of fifty years for the purpose of cou stnicting nnd maintaining mwer plants. It provide, for the regula tion of charges through the .secretary of the interior mid puhlie semcM commissions and prevents the delivery to any one consumer electric energy in excess of .")0 per cent of the total output. It provides that after fifty years the government may take over the )rocrties upon condition thnt n pay the company the actual cost of rights of wnx water rights, land nnd inter est therein used in the generation and distribution of electric energy; nNo a reasonable valuation of nil other property tnken over, including struc tures, fixtures, etc. The rental to bo paid to be fixed by the contract ing parties. All revenues nre to be nuid into the reclamntion fund, there to be used in reclaiming the desert Innds of the west. After the money has served its purjMise in this direc tion and is returned to the reclama tion fund, SO per cent of it is paid to the stntc producing it, for the sup- Hrt of its educationul institutions or the construction of eniiaiieiit rouds. In the drafting of this bill Secre tary Lane has undoubtedly driven the best possible bargain with the tiltra-conservutioiiistH of the eiist. While if mav meet the demands of tho-e of the east who uro sticklers for federal control, it will benefit the west lis the revenues derived b the federal government through the leasing of tlio properties will inure to the benefit of the western states. pure water at the churning tempera ture, agitating three or lour tunes. and drain.
