Pyeatt, president of the DenRiver ver & Rio Grande Western railroad Water Users Demand Water from Piute with General Superintendent J. D. Stack and a number of other railroad Project, Claiming Priority mornon Lower Rights The Sevier river water users from the lower part of the stream, as re-1 ported in last weeks Sun, brought action against the state engineer and the Piute Reservoir and Irrigation Co. in order to obtain an adjudication of Sevier waters to the effect that enough water be released from the Piute reservoir to serve their purposes. In the agreement arrived at between the state and the Piute company at the time when the project was sold to the latter company, provision was made that the state defend any litigation , that may come up between the Piute people and other water users, and consequently, when the aforesaid action was brought, Judge H. N. Hayes and Mayor Parley Magleby of Richfield, representing the Piute Reservoir and Irrigation Co., went immediately to Salt Lake City to urge that the state defend the case and this request was granted. The first move in court is now being made in the Fifth Judicial District court. Judge Thomas Burton presiding. The court sits in Fillmore and the state is represented in court by Attorney General Harvey H. Cluff,' Secretary John T. Oldroyd of the state land board, State Engineer George M. Bacon, former State Engineer Caleb Tanner and Attorney John Jensen of the Salt Lake law firm of Cheney, Jensen, Martineau and Stephins, with Attorneys H. N. Hayes and Parley Magleby assisting as representatives of the Piute company. The plaintiffs in the case are four companies on the lower river, storing water in the Sevier river bridge dam. They are the Sevier Land and Water Co., Delta Canal Co., Mellville Irrigation Co., and Deseret Irrigation Co. They are asking the court to issue an order to the State Engineer as the authority adjudicating the water, to show cause why the river commissioner should not be instructed to turn down into the river a portion of the water now stored in the Piute reservoir. They claim that they have prior rights to the water, while the Piute oldpeople insist that their rights are er and have the priority. The case is of preeminent importance for all farmers under the Piute project. Water in the reservoir just now is by no means plentiful and if they are compelled to let go part of it they will not have water enough for this years irrigation season. officials arrived in Price this ing in his special car and left the train in Price to go with his party by auto to Emery. There he was met by President C. J. Sumner and General Manager H. E.

Mr. Pyeatt will visit the coal mines that are being developed and go over the grade for the railroad project all the way down to Salina. It might be very late in the afternoon before the party arrives here and no definite arrangements have been made for the s time after arrival here. If Mr. time will permit, Mr. Sumner and Mr. Lewis will take him through the southern part of the county and at least as far as Marysvale. A delegation of citizens from Scipio arrived here yesterday and seeks to obtain a conference with the railroad officials for the purpose of impressing upon them the necessity of having the canyon railroad extended at least as far as Scipio to give this community, now off the beaten path, a railroad connection to eastern and western markets. ii I) m.
