ALLEN BRINGS SUIT
OVER WATER RIGHTS
Action in the Federal Court at
North Platte Against Rams,
horn Ditch to Settle
Question.
(From ii Statt Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Aug. 21. (Special.) Act
ing for the government, District At
torney T. S. Allen today brought
suit in- the federal court at North
Platte against the Ramshorn Ditch
company, State Engineer George
Johnson, Governor Neville and other
members of the States Board of Irri
gation and C. A. Liljanstolpe, water
commissioner of Water District No.
1 for diverting water from the gov
ernment ditch and the Pathfinder
reservoir.
Allen Makes Statement.
"Covering the matter, Mr. Allen said
today: n v
,"The injunction suit has " been
brought by the, government against
the Ramshorn Ditch company and the
" state water officials to prevent them
from interfering with the govern
ment's possession and -control of its
irrigation work's and eep water de
veloped within the North Platte pro
ject. There is no question about the
ownership of the irrigation works.
The government' right in this case is
based primarily on the fact that the
1 seepage water appearing in Sheep
Creek draw is all water which the
government stored in the Pathfinder
reservoir last winter and brought to
the project by its canal. There was
not water in the draw before the gov
ernment came iu.
Government Uses Water.
''The government at an early date
made application to the state water
officials and posted and recorded num-
' erous notices to the effect that it in
tended to collect and ue over again
its waters so many times as they
might be available. This is in ac
cordance with the conservation policy
oi making water go as far as posr
sible and to secure the greatest bene
fit to be derived therefrom and to
reduce the cost of extensive and large
irrigation works. It would seem that
the state of Nebraska could not very
well claim these developed waters..
States Do Not Own Water.
The states never erid own any of
this water, although Colorado and
Wyoming no,w claim in a case pend
ing in the United States supreme
court all ownership of water- within
their borders. This is a great menace
to the people of Nebraska and may
jeopardize the oldest irrigation rights
in the state. If state ownership is
recognized the North and South
l'latte rivers may go dry at the state
line. When, however, the appropria
tion is derived from the United States
by complying with the state laws just
as title to mining claims are secured
by complying with local laws, and the
litle of the unappropriated water is in
the United States, Wyoming, Colo
rado, Nebraska and every appropria
tor will be treated fairly by the gov
ernment and appropriations protected
in the order of-their priority .on, the,
, rfver, fegardlessdf state lines. It
Would, 'seem therefore that the gov-
ernment's claim of ownership of the
surplus.and unappropriated waters of
unnavigable streams on the public
lands should be supported rathe than
combated- by ..the people of the state.
. Water" Rights Sand.
"This theory does not interfere
vith existing water rights and the
government recognizes the priority of
all rights made before it started its
own project. It is desirous of mak
ing its waters go as far as possible
and leave all possible to later ap
propriations. In the case against the
Ramshorn ditch the government
makes no-objection to the use by
that or any other ditch of ,water,
which it cannot utilize and which
seepage finally returns to the river."

How to Beautify a
Summer Soiled Face
It's really a sfmple matter to renovate
a face soiled by sun, winds or dirt. Ordi
nary mercolized wax, used like cold cream,
will transform the worst old comDlexion
into one of snowy whitenens and velvety
softness. It literally peels off the outer veil I
of surface skin, but so Kently, gradually, j
there's no discomfort. The wornout skin i
comes off, not in patches, but evenly, in
tiny particles, leaving fio evidence of the
treatment. The younger, healthier under
skin forming the new complexion Is one of
captivating loveliness. . One ounce Of mer
colized wax, to be bad at any drug store,
is enough to remove any tanned, reddened,
pimpled, freckled or blotchy skin. Apply be
fore retiring, washing it off mornings.
Many skins wrinkle easily with every
wind that blows, with heat, worry, etc. An
excellent wrinkle 'remover, because it tight
ens 'the skin and strengthens relaxed mil.

dered saxolite, 1 oz., dissolved In witch hasel,
