In 1883 the Southwest Ditch was constructed, John Harrison the owner of said NW1, Sec. 28, and past owner in the Mayes and Harrison Ditch, being one of the original appropriators of the Southwest Ditch, and said Southwest Ditch succeeding to all the rights of the Mayes and Harrison Ditch. From 1883 to October 7, 1910, said E of NW1, Sec. 28, was irrigated through the said Southwest Ditch. In October, 1910, Julius Christensen, the assignee for John Harrison for said El of NW1, Sec. 28, sold and disposed of his 1/16 interest in the Southwest Ditch, to John G. Taylor, the consideration being 25/12/64 interest in the Last Chance or Irish-American Ditch, and from said date, October 7, 1910, to the present time said E of NW1, Sec. 28, has been irrigated through Last Chance or Irish-American Ditch. Neither the Southwest and Last Chance ditches are incorporated, the interests in same being tenants in common. *Harrison and Mayes Ditch. Claimant-Julius Christensen, by John G.
