State Engineer Sets Position on Water Rights Suit
State Engineer Comstock today issued a statement on pending water lawsuits in Colorado and a Supreme Court decision invalidating a defense fund. He argues both cases threaten Colorado’s control of its waters, citing Wyoming’s U S suit over Laramie River diversions and a U S District Court case demanding 350 cubic feet per second for Kansas irrigation. He urges a new natural defense appropriation in the 19th general assembly to cover such claims.

New Cure for Consumption Under Fire by Medical Journal
The Friedmann treatment for tuberculosis, recently trumpeted by an American newspaper syndicate, lacks an experimental basis. It uses living bacilli derived from turtles, injected into muscle, but the method is secretive and unproven in animals.
