CHAPTER IX Continued 12 If tills Is (lone t ho value of our ranchos will he very nnich depreciated, because we will ho denied the natural irrigation of a groat many thousand acres of rich meadow lands each spring. The constitution of the United States guarantees Its citizens against seizure and appropriation of their property without due process of law and adequate compensation. Hence, any slate law that contravenes that right Is unconstitutional. When the federal government Issued patents to homesteaders In Valley It did not except the water right from the land right. In presuming to appropriate our riparian rights or any portion of them for the hem-liof a distant and non riparian owner, the state of California Is assuming u right it does not legally possess. Now, I'm not going to start a hitter lawsuit with the Forlorn Valley Irrigation district. I shall merely enter a formal protest and when I use the first person singular I mean Miss Kershaw and the I.ar II Hand and Cattle company. Then I shall sit quietly hy and watch those idiots bond their lands, market tlio bonds, and spend the money to get a diversion dam and dig miles and miles of main canals and laterals. Then, Just as they are about to open their floodgates I shall, upon nflidavlt that the district's action Is about to work great hardship and damage upon me, be granted a temporary Injunction by the superior court restraining the district from using the water, and ordering It to show cause, within ten days, why such temporary Injunction should not be made permanent. The case will then he tried on its merits, and I shall probably lose In the superior court, because the judge will refrain from questioning the constitutionality of the state law. I shall appeal and I shall have won, the only win, and when legal salvation for Forlorn Valley will he to buy Kden Valley from us, either at private treaty or via the condemnation-suit route. If it wants our water It must buy our lands and a Jury will set the price." "He hath token down the mighty from their seal and hath exalted them of low degree," Hagan quoted humorYou appear to he something ously. of a financier. Just contemplate Forlorn Valley, the money derived from the sale of the bonds all spent on a diversion dam, main canal, floodgates, laterals, engineering fees, salaries, and so forth, suddenly discovering that after all It cannot get the water that Its all dressed up wilh no dace to go. While they dwell In blissful ignorance of the cataclysm they curse and hate and deride Miss Kershaw and me for protecting our vested rights; when the blow falls "There will he stark drama ami tragedy in that, not comedy, Mr. Tielio-nor- . "Now, 1 Well, now that 1 have had my own Ideas on the legality of my position confirmed by such eminent water counsel as yourself. It would seem that all I can do Is sit calmly by and watch Forlorn Valley "I dare say. . . . ruin itself. Cut surely, Mr. Tichcnor, Hagan protested, you will take some measures to warn these people before they embark on such a ruinous enterprise. "Notwithstanding the fact that it would be very bad business for me to do that, I shall do It. It will be a case of loves labor lost, however. The people will not believe me; they are following a false leader and blindly loyal to him. . . . Well, here's your check for legal services to date.

Certainly l.ahsou was losing no time Nor was Joe moving Into action. Rralnerd. as Nate discovered when he paused at the office of the Register, hoping to glean news of Interest that might have occurred during Ills four days' absence. He found Rralnerd writing an editorial cordially welcoming Ills competitor Into the field. Hoing to press tomorrow with a Issue, Nate, he announced. Practically all of my local advertising has been withdrawn. "Why not run the carnvhd ads Just the same, Joe? If I were you I would decline to let Rabson see how badly he has hurt me.

And late In the afternoon, as the shadows were growing long In Kden Valley and Joseph was reminded that he must return home soon utid prepare dinner for his master, who had informed him he would (line ut home that night, lie discovered a poacher. He had ridden into a thick grove of yellow pities when, happening to glance up the side of the ridge that separated Kden Valley from Forlorn Valley, lie saw a man descending through t lie Imckhrusli and laurel. Through his master's binoculars the excellent Joseph made appraisal and discovered the man earried a rille. The man could really have found more open going, yet he preferred to stick to the tall brush, nor did lie advance confidently ns an honest man should. Arriving at last at the foot of the ridge, the fellow found himself a hiding place in a clump of laurel about 30 feet above the road, and Joseph both saw and heard him break off some branches as if to clear nis view if the road. Then he sat down. Something devilish queer about tlds fellow, what?" Joseph decided. He got off his horse cautiously and slipped from tree to tree until lie was within 40 yards of the man, when he sat down behind a clump of manzanita to await developments. Through bis binoculars lie could now make out the man's form; he saw that the fellows rille rested In a crotch In a laurel bush. "Hes waiting for somebody," Joseph concluded. "By Jove, a bally assassin, what? The blighter will hear close watching for a bit, I fancy. .Suddenly, up the valley, Joseph caught a faint rumbling. He knew that would be his masters automobile crossmg a loosely planked little bridge across one of t he small lateral streams that (lowed down the hillside to Kden Valley creek.
