STATE ENGINEER PRICE
TIglTS NORTH PLATTE
State Engineer D. D. Price of Lin
coln and AVsiitant Engineer Mason,
arrived in the city Wednesray en
route to Scotts Bluffs where they are
to prosecute a case against an irriga
tion, company for turning water into
their Milches Vftien orders were given
forbidding the tise of the water. While
here he conferred with Attorney W. V,
Hoagland of tills cjty in regard to
some matters pertaining to tho use of
tho water from tho Pathfinder dam.
Mr,. Hoagland took up with him the
question Involving the right of the
government to hplil 'all of the surplus
water at the preoariUUhio 1n their dam
while the people along the river need
It for irrigation purposes. It is esti
mated thatHhey have 1,083,000 ncre
teet of water stored- there and that
they can not possibly use more than
300,000 aero feet th!sTyear. Mr. Hoag
land maintains that the government is
subject to the la'3 of the state and
that the water, being in the bed of the
river, belongsfto the people nlong the
river and that the goverment has no
right or power to hold mora than is
necessary for their use.
Mr. Price and Mr. Hoagland will
take up the matter and investigate it
and if necessary will take steps to
compel tho government to let the wat
er loose a little at a time and allow
Hie people offDawson county and oth
ers along tha river to use It,.
It la also claimed by Mr. Price that
tho government has been holding more
water than iaey are entitled to hold.
That it takesHhree weeks for the wat
er to cun from the Pathfinder dam tp
Dawson coumly and that the govern
ment releasetl- the first of tho year
only tho anvtmnt of water that was
needed insteljjfi of the regular How of
tho river, thereby keoing more water
than they wore entitled to keep. That
later in the season when the water was
iow nero mey wouiu turn loose only
tho regulr flow, although the ditches
In this part needed more than that
amount and were rightfully entitled
to it on account of the shortage that
had been released when the water was
high. Steps will bo taken to try and
compel the government to let this wat
er loose.
Mr. Price also satedt hat the Trl-
stato canal wus shut down Tuesday of
this week for six days to allow for
repairs and that for these six days
tho water would be turned looso In all
other ditches. As soon as the repairs
are made, however, it will be shut
down again and this opportunity
should be taken-advantage of as 6don
as possible.
