AGAINST TALENT Judge Thomas Awards Judg merits to Grow and Dorman Families As Result of Im pounding Water Demurrer in Applegate Case Denied. Judgments in one, nnd a motion de nying a demurrer In nnother case, have been handed down by Circuit Judge Charles M.

Grow, Annie Williams and mi nor children and relatives, a decree for judgment of t-lftOO wsa awarded, the distribution of the Judgment being as fallows: ' To Rachel Grow $1507.88; to W. R.

The action, u suit for condemnation of property grew out of the construc tion of the Impounding pond of the Talent Irrigation district, and suit was star tod when neither side could agree upon' the price, finally agreeing to leave the adjudication to the court. Klghteen acres of land, near Ash land, is Involved in the transaction. The other case- Is that of I0d Hmlth n gainst Frank Cameron nnd others of the Applegate. ' A similar action was filed in 1920, and taken to the supreme court. Hmlth In a recently filed plen ashed for the right lo carry water for Irrigation purposes, through the pri vate ditch of the defendants, to pay nil damages accruing, and to receive a perpetual water right. The defendants filed a demurrer, to this complaint, setting forth five points of law. The court in a ruling over rules the demurrer, citing the supreme court decision, In the former case, by JUstice Harris, handed down In 1922. In the supreme court decision, it Is held that Smith "was seeking to con 1 demn prlvnte property for private use," eontrnry to the state constitu tion, but the court added the suggc - j tlnn, that If prlvnte property was1 Isuiight for private Irrigation the rem- ! edy lies In a constitutional amend-1 ment, not In the courts. This decision 'wns adverse to flmlth. I j The leglHlature, In 1924 pnssed a constitutional amendment, providing j Among other things that "the benefi-1 clnl use of water, over private lands and prlvnte ditches, when beneficlnl to . the welfare nnd development of the j stnte," was permissible. The court hi denying the demurrer, holds that the law, covers Irrigation "clearly and suf ficiently." , i NEW YORK, Aug. 4. (A. P.)
