vided that they shall not meet

effect. The commission leave for
the upper waters of the river today.
Under the terms of the tempor
ary decree, the St. Johns Irriga
tion Co. is allowed water for 1072
acres of land and the water duty
for land here is set at 75 acres to
each second foot (equalling 40
miners inches) of water, and it
is fixed with the other rights as
to priority as of 1874. Under this
provision the only priorities ahead
of St. Johns are the very oldest
at Springerville and Eagar. Rich
ville lights are also brought into
the decree and dated as 1875.
The water duty for Richville and
itouna v aney ana tne canyon
ranches above the valley is set at
100 acres to a second foot allow
ing 15 of water for soakage and
evaporation in the upper Eagar
and Round Valley ditches. 10 in
the lower Eagar and 5 in the
Colter west-side canals. All oth
er measurements are at the intake
of the ditch. The water duty at
Greer is set at 150 acres per sec
ond foot. The commission is also
charged with the duty of meas
uring all reservoir water into and
out of the river and is to make no
deduction for evaporation.
The acreage at Richville has
not yet been determined, but it
will be ..found by the commission
In all matters pertaining to rights
above Richville the stipulated de
cree made in 1914 is followed.
The court has ordered the com-1
mission to examine all sidestreams
that are being used bv parties
who have no rights under the de
crees to be shut off and turned
down, and told the commission
to report anv who uses water
when not allowed to do so for
punishment for contempt of court.
Uut-ol-town parties who attend
ed the hearing- were Bp. Joseph
Udall, John P. Rothlisberger,
Ehsha Averett, Thomas Irwin,
Moroni Richey, John F. Sher
wood and Jose Saavedra.
Under the instructions of the
court every user on the river will
now have his water measured out
to him and there will be a system
of water control. That is the
first time since the river was used
for irrigation.
The remark has been made, so
we are informed, that "only the
riff-raff of society" are volun
teering for military service.
Seems to us that those who are
offering their lives to their coun
try are the real men, and those
making such remarks are not
what they might be.
