THE IRRIGATION AGE.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. 



(Continued from page 184) 



water for irrigation is indefinite, uncertain, and sub- 

 ect to fluctuation, as it must always be dependent on 

 the future like needs of other riparian owners ; there 

 being no priority of rights between them, and no ripa- 

 rian ownership of a definite amount of water as against 

 other riparian owners. Little IValla Irr. Union \. 

 I'inis Irr. Co. Supreme Court of Oregon. 124 Pacific 

 666. 



POINTS OF DIVERSION. 



Where a decree adjudges the amount of water 

 which several canals or ditches may take from a 

 stream, and fixes their relative priorities, and limits 

 the points of diversion, the officers charged with the 

 control of the distribution of the water may not rec- 

 ognize any right to change the points ofMiversion or 

 deliver water at any other points than those specified 

 until permission is granted by the court. Monte Vista 

 Canal Co. v. Centennial Irrigating Ditch Co. Court 

 of Appeals of Colorado. 123 Pacific 831. 



CHANGE IN POINTS OF DIVERSION. 



The right to change the point of diversion of 

 water, under Sess. Laws 1903, p. 278, authorizing the 

 changing of the point of diversion where the change 

 will not impair or injuriously affect the vested rights 

 of others, as well as independent of the statute, is a 

 qualified property right, subject to the condition that 

 it can be exercised only in case a change will not in- 

 juriously affect the rights of others. Monte Vista 

 Canal Co. v. Centennial Irrigating Ditch Co. Court 

 of Appeals of Colorado. 123 Pacific 831. 



ENFORCEMENT OF DECREE. 



A decree adjudicating priority among conflicting 

 claimants to water rights and quieting titles thereto, 

 which establishes the status of the parties and prop- 

 erty involved, is self-executing ; and the court has no 

 further power to appoint commissioners to compel 

 rotation in the use of the water, which is an adminis- 

 trative and not a judicial act. Am. Realty Co. v. Big 

 Indian Mining Co. U. S. District Court, District of 

 Montana. 198 Federal 367.

Successful Irrigation 



IS a reality when you are able to apply water to the 

 soil in the right amount and at the right time. To be 

 able to do this, you should control your own water 

 supply for irrigating purposes. To have absolute control over the 

 water supply, you should use an I H C engine to do the pumping.

 ate all kinds of farm machines. For durability, they cannot be
