Show Captain Dutton, chief engineer of tho irrigating survey, has presented to the house committee some very practical prac-tical ideas regarding irrigation. He advocates tho passage of a law that shall define water rights and thus put an end to tho outrageous monopoly of . streams by cattlo men and land-grabbing corporations. Such a law will permit per-mit for irrigating purposes tho use of streams which are now practically controlled con-trolled by monopolists. There should be no such a thing as monopoly in the use of water. |
