Redress From the Legislature, Verona, April 8.-- (To the Bdi- tor):-- This would appear to be an appropriate time to again discuss the subject of the high water here, THis is the season when the roads are overflown and travelling is in- terfered with, and also when lands that were dry enough to ba plowed last autumn are covered with water to remain so probably until tdo late t6 get any crop sown om them. The road through Kingston's swamp is virtually impassable, long bridge between Bell Rock and Moscow. At one point the road to the Deyo Settlement is undér water #lso. It was hoped that thas water company would have left the stop logs out of Petworth dam, the least they could have done, until the freshet was well over, but such does not appear to have been done. A few days ago, a resident observed what seemed like water runnifig up hill. This has been observed and commented on hy others before. At the bridge over Hardwood creek, where, under natural conditions, a sirong current to the Westward ev- ists, the water was seen actunlty flowing In thé opposite direction. In "drowned lands," the waters of {he Deepeau and Hardwood creeks for a Junction, and it is at this point that the Napfinee river many be said to begin. Without any obstruction a fire river the water would flow p.

Heariny when presenting the claims of their con- stituents, the express purpose for Which they have their seats in thdt honorable assembly. There is no question of thelr ability to rramé a bill and present it, reasonable' in its terms, clear and definite in its niean- ing and simple in its applieation to restrain the water company from practicing' injustice. Ad an alternative, if the company will flood lands whether: or no, » bil) to have a survey made of all lands or may in future Have, with a chart for réferenes, snd posts or standards set at suitible points by which for every inch the water ix raived apon It the chart will have shown how much land is overflowed on each and every lot, so that damages can be easily and positively show and the extent of them, without costly law- suits, would be better thin we have at present. The former is the better in (hat with ne land Seeded, it conld be cul tivated, there would be no roads overflown, nor any unhealthy econdi- fions perpetuated, but failing that the latter would be good. 'To accomplish this is not as easy © lo talk about it, or write, but ir tion, the greater volume of water of tha Deeneau stream after filling up above the obstruction forces the wa- ter backward uy Hardwood creek thereby addipg to the already too great flooding of the lands adjacent to Rock, Silver!

As a saving clause. is contained that if damage was done by the company in their handling of this wai>r, the damage was to be paid 'for, Interpreted in its best sense, this clause meant that no privilege was being given to cause damage.
