Defendants answered,-denying the execution of the note. They Introduced some testi mony tending to show that the Instru ment was a forgery. Among other instructions the court gave the following: "The plaintiffs allege this was for a valuable con sideration; that Is a presumption of the law. But this is a disputable pre sumption, and may be overcome by other evidence." The court further! instructed the Jury: "It is presumed that the private transactions about this note have been fair and regular, and that is a disputable preumptlon, and may be overcome by other evidence. These are pieces of evidence which the plaintiffs are entitled to rely upon: that the transaction of taking the note was fair and regular. But the defendants would be entitled to show that the contrary was true." McBrlde, J.

Argued and submitted December 19, 1911. V. K. Strode and F. E. McGlnnls, for respondent. (Also Mark O'Neill, on brief). A. T. Lewis and (E. S. J. McAllister, on brief) for appellant. McBrlde, J. Affirmed. This is an action for damages for Jersonal injuries. The complaint al eges, in substance, that In June, 1909, plaintiff was employed by de fendant common laborer in de fendant's blacksmith shop; that while so employed he was directed by de fendant to operate a machine; called a ."Shears and Punch;"-which was antiquated, defective, and worn out; that Its parts were loose and inse cure; its keys, bolts and rivets so in securely fastened as to be dangerous and unsafe while in operation; and particularly that an iron key was left by defendant without being se curly fastened to the main machin ery; that these defects were known to defendant but were unknown to plaintiff; that at the date mentioned, while plaintiff, under defendant s di rection, was attempting to operate the machine, the key loosened from its position and was projected from its place with great force, striking plaintiff in the face and eyes, and se verely Injuring him. The answer is a general denial, coupled with a plea of assumption of risk and contributory negligence. Defendant's counsel requested the following Instructions, which the court refused: "2. The court further Instructs you that the Injury to plaintiff's chest, testified to by Dr. Rockey, can not be considered In this case as an element of damages, but said testi mony may be considered an element In determining the credibility of the plaintiff's testimony." "3. The court Instructs you that If you believe from the evidence that the plaintiff had knowledge of the de fective condition of the shears and punch while he was using It, and if you further believe that he was a man of ordinary or average Intelli gence, he cannot recover although you find that the defendant knew of the defective condition of the ma chine." "D. The court instructs you that if you believe from the evidence that in operating the punch when pressuels applied the key or plat could not, from the nature of the machine, fly out, then. In that case, you must find for the defendant" "6. The court instructs you that machinery often gets out of order, that It is not negligence on the part of defendant to work the shears and 8. T.

The court Instructs you that if you believe from the evidence that plaintiff inserted a wedge or a flat piece of Iron In the machine to make the punch go deeper and it was the wedge that flew out and struck the plaintiff, or that both wedge and plate flew out at the same time and that the. wedge Inserted In the ma chine was the cause of the injury, then plaintiff cannot recover." , Counsel also requested the follow ing Instruction, which thecourt gave, Interpolating therein the words, "pro vided the old machine be a reasona bly safe one, '"which are Included in brackets: "The cou instructs you that every employer has the right-to choose the machinery to be used in his business, and to conduct that business in a manner most agreeable to himself . He may select the appli ances and run his shop with old or new machinery just as he may ride In an old or new carriage or navigate an old or new vessel, and he is not obliged to change his machinery from old to new In order to secure the greater safety of his employes (provided the old machine be a rea sonably safe one) and an employe who enters his service with the knowledge of circumstances attend ing his employment cannot complain of his master's customs or habits, nor recover for Injuries In and resulting from that particular service." Counsel excepted to the instruction as amended. The testimony of Dr. Rockey, re ferred to, was Introduced by defen dant and was to the effect that about two weeks after the injury plaintiff visited him professionally, in regard to an alleged Injury to his chest, which he claimed to have received while working in defendant's shop, as the result of having been struck by a half-moon shaped piece of Iron which projected from a machine he was operating. It does not appear that counsel, at the time the testi mony was introduced, attempted to limit Its effect to any particular pur pose but Introduced It generally. Plaintiff had a verdict and judg ment for ?300 and defendant appeals. McBrlde, J. We have carefully ex amined the record In this case and find It free from any material error. Without consuming space In the re ports by a discussion of the testi monial In detail, It is. sufficient to say that, In our judgment, there was testimony tending, in some degree, to sustain the allegations of the com plaint and, therefore, the court did not err In its. refusal to sustain a motion for a nonsuit. It is true that the testimony was contradictory but the jury was the Judge of its value and effect. There was no substantial error committed In the refusal of the court to give defendant's requested Instruc tion No. 2, relating to the effect to be given to Dr. Rockey's testimony. The court in its general charge expressly told the Jury that plalntiTs recov ery must be limited to the particular Injury alleged In the complaint and the Instruction requested amounted merely to a repetition of the same in struction In different language. We are of the opinion that the subject was sufficiently covered by the in structions given. i Instruction No. 3, requested by de fendant, does not correctly state the law. It Is not sufficient to defeat a recovery that plaintiff should have known that the machine was defec tive. He must also have known or had reason to believe that the defect was a probable source of danger. As said by Justice Lord In Roth v. N. P. L. Co. 18 Or. 205, "it Is to be borne In mind that there Is a difference be tween a knowledge of the facts and a knowledge of the risks which they In volve. One may know the facts, and yet not understand the risk; or, as Mr. Justice Byles observed, 'A ser vant knowing the facts may be utter ly Ignorant of the risks.'" To the same effect Is Johnson v. O. S. L; Ry. Co., 23 Or. 94. There was no error In the court's modification of requested Instruction No. 4. Taken In connection with the general charge, the law Is correctly stated. Request No. 5 is substan tially covered by the general charge. Request No. 6 was properly denied. It was not the business of the court to Instruct the Jury that "machinery often gets out of order," etc. The jury was considering the evidence in regard to the machine ' operated by plaltlff and, as to it, there was no evidence that such machines are lia ble to often get out of order, but there was no evidence that such ma chines are liable to often get out of order, but there was strong evidence tending to show that, with ordinary care and attention used in fastening the key or friction plate to the ma chine. It was not likely! to get out of position or fly off. ' The last instruction requested Is sufficiently covered in the general charge, which -' was 'admirable and covered all the Issues. A party is not entitled to have an . instruction given In language suggested by him self If the substance of, it Is covered by other instructions framed by the court i i ; In this case the court was exceed ingly fair to the defendant and we are sure that no instruction, refused or given, resulted In any substantial Injury, and the verdict of 300 seems to us to have been based upon ex ceedingly moderate ' estimate of plaintiff's injuries. ; The Judgment is affirmed.

This isa suit to restrain defen dant from diverting and using more than one-half of the waters of Pine Creek in Wheeler county. Plaintiffs, whose land adjoins that of defendant lower down the creek, claim in substance by their com plaint, that In 1883 William Clarno, their predecessor In Interest, appro priated 30 inches, miner's measure ment, of the waters of Pine creek for the purpose of irrigating his land, and that such appropriation was prior to any appropriation by defendant; that defendant in the years 1903, 1904, 1905 and 1906, during the season of low water, diverted all the water of the creek upon his own land, with out plaintiffs' consent and refused to turn back into the stream any por tion of the water so diverted, but used it unnecessarily and wastefully, and suffered It to sink upon his own land, leaving plaintiffs without wa ter for irrigation or for domestic purposes. It is alleged tljat one-half of the water of the creek used all the time, or all of the water used al ternately, week about, upon the land of plaintiffs and defendant, is suffi cient for the needs of each. A preliminary Injunction was Is sued defendant to alternate with plaintiffs In the use of the water week about until the final hearing. The defendant answered, claiming a prior appropriation by himself and continued use by him of all the water of Pine creek in the dry season when necessary, and denied a wrongful di version or wasteful use. Upon the hearing, the court, after viewing the premises, found for the plaintiffs and decreed to them the right to alternate week about with defendant In the use of the water, and from this decree defendant ap pals. Other facts appear in the opin ion. ' McBride, J. It appears from the testimony that the land occupied by plaintiffs was originally settled upon about the year 1871 by Harrison Huntley, a brother of defendant, and that about the same time defendant settled upon the lands now occupied by him. While the testimony Is not clear, we conclude that the first ap proprlaion was made for the purpose of irrigating the Harrison Huntley tract, that Is to say, a small portion of It, and later the land of defendant. Pine creek, at that time, was a stream running near the level of the adjoining land, and it Is probable that a portion of the land to some ex tent was sub-Irrigated by the natural percolation of the waters of the stream. Later a cloud burst or a succession of such deepened the chan nel,' so that the water In the stream Is from 10 to 20 feet deep below the level of the adjoining land and sub irrigation Is not possible, and Irri gation by means of dams Is much more difficult than when the place was first settled. For a time the two Huntleys used the same ditch and there does not seem to have been any scarcity of water on either place for several years. In 1879 It transpired upon survey that the land occupied by Harrison Huntley -yns a school section and he conveyed his possess ory rights to Charles Huntley who, on January 14, 1879, received a deed from the state to the lands now oc cupied by plaintiffs. In 1880 Charles Huntley conveyed a portion of this tract by warranty deed to W. Lair mil, .iv h. uates and f rank Clarno, and In 1882 conveyed the remainder of the tract to Hill and Gates by warranty deed. Plaintiffs deralgn title from Hill, Gates and Clarno. We do not think that the evidence indi cate a prior appropriation by defen dant And as water, in the arid parts of the state, Is the life of the land, we believe that Hill, Gates and Clarno took the land In view of the tillable Improvements upon it, Includ ing the ditches and water facilities placed there by Harrison and Charles Huntley, and that the right to use the water, as Harrison and Charles had theretofore used it, became and was appurtenant to the land. It not appearing that Charles Hunt ley ever did any act which notified plaintiffs or their grantees that he Intended to claim the right to con stantly divert and use all the waters of the stream, or to deny their right to use the same share that had been employed beneficially while he and Harrison Huntley occupied the land, the statute of limitations would not attach from the mere fact that at times defendant used all the water of the creek since such . was his privi lege unless the grantors of plaintiffs were in need of It. Nor is adverse users as such specifically pleaded, the1 defendant making his case upon prior appropriation, which he has failed to prove. We see no reason why, even In cases involving prior and subsequent appropriations of wa ter, the courts cannot require the ap proprlators to alternate In the use of the water. The time when water may be used recklessly or csrelessly haB passed In this state. With increas ing settlement water has become) too scarce and too precious to justify any but an economical use of it. An appropriator has only the right to use so much as his needs require and at the time his needs require. And if these are satisfied by a use of the whole flow every other day, or every alternate week, he ought not to be heard to complain. , It is evi dent that from some cause or from a variety of causes the waters of Pine creek are diminishing in volume at the point where the. parties to this controversy are residing. It Is now probable that to divide the water, without ; alternating, would Injure both parties. A test, since the pre liminary order was made in this case 'in 1906, indicates that by the method adopted, both parties can raise good crops and both prosper. It must be conceded that there Is a paucity of authority on the subject of requiring rotation in the use of water between annronrlaiora. The remedy has frequently been applied In cases of dispute between riparian proprietors and It Is difficult to dis cern any difference In principle be tween the rights of a riparian pro prietor -and those of an appropriator In the beneficial use of water. The trend of the later decisions Is to ap ply this method where practicable. In Helphery v. Perrault, 12 Idaho 451, the court observes: "Rotation in irrigation undoubtedly tends to. conserve the waters of the state and to - Increase and enlarge their duty and service, and Is, conse quently, a practice that deserves en couragement In so far as It may he done within legal bounds." In Wig gins v. Muscupieabe Land & Water Co., 113 Calif. 182, which is cited with approval in Hough v. Porter, ill Or. 318, the court required riparian proprietors to rotate in the use of water and In. Becker v. Marble Irr. Co. 15 Utah 225, which was a suit be tween approprlators, the court ap plied the doctrine of rotation. The weight of evidence Indicates that there is no material difference in character between the lands of plaintiffs and defendant and if de fendant Is unable to produce as good crops on his land as plaintiffs are producing with the .same quantity of water upon double the acreage, It must be attributed to his methods of farming and Irrigation, rather than to the lack of water. The decree Is affirmed. Bean, J., took no part In this de cision. o Housework Drudgery nOusework ii drudgery for tbe wetk woman.
