 carefully overhauled and inspected before shipment.

 the Inch. Covered with a preparation of asphaltum 

 and graphite, thus insuring its wearing qualities.

POLLUTION OF STREAM. 



Where the pollution of a stream is not the necessary re- 

 sult of the operation by one of oil wells on his premises, but 

 is due to a wrongful act in conveying the waste oil and water 

 into the stream, a riparian owner injured thereby may main- 

 tain an action therefor. 



Teel v. Rio Brava Oil Co. Court of Civil Appeals of 

 Texas, 104 Southwestern 420. 



WATER RIGHTS PETITION. 



Where a petition for the condemnation of water rights 

 disclosed that petitioner's purpose was to make a perpetual 

 use of the water sought to be appropriated, the petition was 

 not fatally defective for failure to allege in terms the extent 

 of the time that the water was intended to be used, as pro- 

 vided by Bellinger's Ann. Codes & St. 4143. 



State ex rel. Liberty Lake Irr. Co. v. Superior Court for 

 Spokane County. Supreme Court of Washington, 91 Pacific 

 968. 



CONFLICT WITH FEDERAL STATUTE. 



Ballinger's Ann. Codes & St. 4156, providing that a por- 

 tion of the water of non-navigable streams and bodies of 

 water shall be reserved to that part of the public using or 

 needing the water on abutting property, was not inconsistent 

 with Act Cong. March 3, 1877, c. 107, 19 Stat. 377 (1 Rev. St 

 Supp. U. S. 137 [U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 1548]), reserving 

 such water to the appropriation and use of the public. 



State ex rel. Liberty Lake Irr. Co. v. Superior Court for 

 Spokane County. Supreme Court of Washington, 91 Pacific 

 968. 



NECESSITY OF CONDEMNATION. 



Where an irrigation company sought to condemn a way 

 for a ditch and the riparian or littoral rights of relators to 

 the waters of a non-navigable arm of a lake, it was no de- 

 fense that the water company appropriated and was capable 

 of using a large supply of water through another source. 



State ex rel. Liberty Lake Irr. Co. v. Superior Court of 

 Spokane County. Supreme Court of Washington, 91 Pacific 

 968. 



DISTRIBUTION OF WATER. 



Where there are conflicting claims for priority in the use 

 of water rights for irrigation purposes, the court, in an appli- 

 cation for injunction, may make equitable distribution of the 

 supply of water according to the priority of the claimants and 

 the quantity each has by his labor and diligence acquired the 

 right to divert. 



Gates v. Settlers' Milling, Canal & Reservoir Co. Su- 

 preme Court of Oklahoma, 91 Pacific 856. 



PRIORITY OF RIGHT TO DIVERT WATER. 



Where the question of priority of right to divert water 

 from a running stream for the purposes of irrigation, and the 

 question as to whether either of the claimants had used rea- 

 sonable diligence in prosecuting his work and in making ap- 

 plication to beneficial uses of the water, are controverted ques- 

 tions of fact, dependent upon the weight of contradictory tes- 

 timony and the credibility of witnesses, this court will not dis- 

 turb the finding of the trial court, if there is competent evi- 

 dence reasonably tending to support the finding and judgment. 

 Gates v. Settlers' Milling, Canal & Reservoir Co. Su- 

 preme Court of Oklahoma, 91 Pacific 856. 



IRRIGATION. PRIOR RIGHT. 



The right to the use of water from a public stream for 

 irrigation purposes depends upon the construction of appro- 

 priate ditches, the conducting of water through such ditches 

 to the place of intended application, and the application of 

 such water to beneficial uses, all within a reasonable time; 

 and he has the best right who is first in time. 



Gates v. Settlers' Milling, Canal & Reservoir Co. Su- 

 preme Court of Oklahoma, 91 Pacific 856. 



RESTRICTING USE OF ARTESIAN WELLS. 



A landowner has no right to extract subterranean water 

 in excess of a reasonable and beneficial use on the land from 

 which it is extracted; and so is not deprived of property 

 without due process by Act March 6, 1907 (St. 1907, p. 122, 

 c. 101), declaring an artesian well not provided with appli- 

 ances for preventing the flow of water therefrom to be a
