What Harris Claims.
Harris claims the city has been
wrongfully using the water. V.ast
year when the auxiliary water sta-
tion was located at t5e cut and a
gieat deal of waber was pumped over
a dam Harris made trouble. Last
fall he filed a suit for 111 OOfl dam
ages.
Last tail when the city engineer
Hooker started a survey of the Cot-
tonwood to ascertain how much stor
age could he obtained he was for-
bidden to go on Harris" land. The
survey of the river through his land
was made from the line on each side
of him by means of a new level sej
cured for the express porpose. The
fall and instance were secured In
that round-about way.
The city will probably start con-
demnation proceedings Friday to se-
cure permanent and inaliable rights
to the water supply. The petition
for injunction sets up that the nver
is the sole source of supply for the
city The situation was set out In
detail ami presented to the Judge as
an emerjfncv measure. Water Con
inissioner Spencer put up the costs
and made the bond.
It is hoped by condemnation pro-
ceedings to bring tne matter to an
early close That Harru has ripar-
ian rights Is not denied hut settle-
ment has nver been poasiole. it is

Changes in Rules Confuses Visitors
' aptain Barrett of the Fifteenth
Hussars who was rated as a "ten
goal'' man. the highest official ra'
ing ever given any pl'er when
piayfng In India came to pit hack
for the challenging team but he BtfOi
ed unable to muster the different
style of play of the American game
or to accustom himself to nlavtrnr on
horses Instead of the fourteen bands
high ponies which are used In India.
Another change which has militat-
ed against the playing form of the
visitors Is the heavy growth of grass
and soft turf of the polo ffeld on
iong Island. In India the cradle of
polo for the British cavalry the
grounds are almost barren of grass
and baked as hard aa a pavenr-nt by
the tropica sun. Members of the
challenging team say that the dead
and slow turf which they find on
Ijong Island necessitates quUe a dlf
rerenf svle or play than that to
which they are accustomed
The visitors also find a striking
difference in the rules Of the game
here In that there i no such thlgn
as "orf side" In the American game
while in a! other countries there in
a strict rule against what Is ih-mz
naied as "off side" play. It Is deaif
mltted by th members of :he Ameri
can team as well as the challengers
that the game has been changed v;

This policy of scouring the world

American sportsmen who declare It
reduced the matches to rthe Ameri-

team has the deepest purse. It is
said that an eifirt is on foot to get
