Tho Irrlcat Ion Cases, Lincoln, .Nov. 20. The supremo court has handed down tho most important decisun in tiny of the irrigation cases before that body. Tho verdict of the lower court In the case bf tho board of of Alfalfa Irrigation district, appellees, against M. S. Collins et nl, appellants, was alllrmcd. The decision is by Jus tice Post A portion of tlio syllabus holds: 'The act approved March 20, 1893, known as the district irrigation law, provides that when bondr. aro author ized by a voto of any Irrigation district application may bo made to the district court of tho county in which such dis trict or part thereof is situated for an order confirming and approving tlio bamo. At tho timo set for hearing, and after notice by publication to all con cerned, any person interested in said district may appear and resist such ap plication, and tho court may examine into and determine nil questions per taining to tho organization of tho dis trict, as well as tho regularity of tho voting and issuing of such bonds. Held: Not to contemplate tho taking of prop erty without duo process of law, by means of taxation, within the prohibi tion of the Btato or federal constitu tion, irrigation districts organized under our laws arc public rather than municipal corporations, nnd their oill ccrs tiro public agents of the state. The district irrigation law docs not conflict with tho constitution by authorizing the taking of property for private use only. Tho district irrigation law is not unconstitutional on the ground that the power thereby conferred upon dis tricts to levy taxes is without limita tion." Tills caso has been watched with great interest bj- all the prominent ex ploiters of irrigation works In tho state, secretary Alters of the State Hoard of Irrigation and Matt Daugherty, In par ticular, arc greatly elated over tho de cision. It was feared that recent Cali fornia decisions, which, in many res pects, are exactly opposite to this, es pecially so that of Judge Ross, might be followed as authority, to the great detriment of tho irrigation interests of Nebraska. Fivo states "are now in re gard to tho fundamental principles enuncLiten in this opiuion, California, Washington, Colorado, Nevada and Nebraska. Matt Daugherty arrived In town to day in anticipation of the decision. He' is very much elated, ns he is promi nently identified with the Alfalfa com pany. He said: Tills decision is ono of tho most important ever handed down by tho supremo court There arc a gient many people in tho eastern portion of the state who do not fully appreciato Its full significance. It means Immediate work for a largo number of men nt a timo when there is nothing else to work at, and when they need It. Uetween now and the time when the earth is too solidly frozen for profitable labor a great deal can be accomplished. I shall put quite a number at wot k at once. Others will do the same in Keith county and other parts of the northwest. "There is another thing about arti ficial irrigation which has not been ob served by everybody. The moro irri gation tho more rainfall. If you no ticed tho fact during tho past'season thoso portions of Nebraska where Irri gation is most forwarded received the greatest percenlago of precipitation. Tho eastern and southeastern portions of tho state received less rainfall this season than tho northwestern portion. 1 havo also noticed a peculiarity in tho watersheds of Nebraska. Streams and lakes will go down, some of them go dry entirely, then without a drop of rain they vill again till and swell to their normal condition. It is also known that water can bo taken from streams and without any effort to de flect the water in tho irrigation ditch back to the streams It will find its own way, so that no perceptible deficiency will be noticed in the streams below tho point from which the water was taken. Nebraska is tho grandest stato for irrigation purposes in the uniou." IRRIGATION TNTERESTS. Etcry regularly organized Irrigation ditch company shall bo entitled to one delegate. Editors of agricultural and irrigation publications in Nebraska, will, on presentation of credentials, showing their present position or occu pation, bo entitled to scats in tho con vention.
