RECENT LEGAL DECISIONS. 



Prescriptive Right to Use of Water in Stream. In order to 

 establish a right by prescription to the use of water for irriga- 

 tion claimed by another, the use and enjoyment must have been 

 uninterrupted, adverse and under a claim of right, and with the 

 knowledge of the owner. This right becomes fixed only after 

 five years' adverse enjoyment; and to have been adverse, it 

 must have been asserted under claim of title, with knowledge 

 and acquiescence of the person having the prior right and must 

 have been uninterrupted. In order to constitute a right by pre- 

 scription, there must have been such an invasion of the rights 

 of the party against whom it is claimed that he would have 

 ground of action against the intruder. To be adverse it must be 

 accompanied by all the elements required to make out an ad- 

 verse possession; the possession must be by actual occupation, 

 open, notorious, and not clandestine; it must be hostile to the 

 other's title; it must be held under claim of title, exclusive of any 

 other, as one's own; it must be continuous and uninterrupted for 

 a period of five years. The use must also be open and as of 

 right, and also peaceable; for if there is any act done by other 

 owners that operates as an interruption however slight, it pre- 

 vents the acquisition of the right by such use.

Irrigation. The Supreme Court of Washington holds that the 

 conveyance of an irrigation ditch, unconnected with the ditch 

 from which the water is to be obtained to fill it, and without a 

 sufficient fall in its construction to carry the water to the land in- 

 tended to be irrigated, conveys no right to the water in that 

 creek.

Wanted 



The newspapers and magazines want 

 good news and miscellaneous writers. 

 Schools and colleges demand good 

 essay writers. Business men must 

 have advertisements, catalogues and 

 circulars prepared by good writers. I 

 profess to be a good writer ; my lite- 

 rary articles are published in the 

 leading papers; I write essays and 

 speeches for many college graduates; 

 I give instructions to scores of young 

 men and ladies who want to write for the press; my 

 fees are moderate and my references the best.
