constitutionality of the Wright

overruling the decision of the United
States circuit court'for the Califor
nia district which was against the
law's validity.
The case in which the opinion
was rendered was that of the Fall
Brook Irrigation company against
Maria iving Bradly. It has at
tracted widespread interest
throughout the Rockv mountain
and coast regions because of its im
portance to the material interests
of the entire arid belt; and in the
central west and east the suit
gained prominence through the fact
that ex-President Harrison was one
ot the councel who argued the case
before the supreme court, whose
decision has been awaited months.

part of the preceeding" term of the
court.
Justice Peckham delivered the
court's decision to-day. He de
parted from the usual custom of
the justices in that he did not read
the opinion on which the court
based its conclusions, but simply
announced that it had decided to
uphold the law.
There were two cases befbrd the
supreme court involving the consti
tutionality of the Wright law per
mitting-the state of California to
be divided into irrigation districts
and propertv m the districts taxed
for the construction of irrigation
works. One of these involved the
Fall Brook Irrigation district and
the other the Mdesti district. The
same points were raised in both.
but the b all Jrook case was an-
pealed from the decision of the
4.
federal circut court while the ilo-
desti case was brought up from the
Calitornia state supreme court. Ih
the federal court the decision was
against the Wright law, while in
the state court that law was sus
tained. To-day's decision will ap-

involved the broad constitutional
