The original action wasbrought by Wyoming in 1911, but hasnot hitherto received the considerationof the Supreme Court. Nebraska is even more interestedthan Wyoming in the outcome of thesuit, as the volume of water whichcould be diverted from the Nebraskarivers by states containing the riversources would inflict peculiar damageupon a state so largely agricultural.Attorney-General Reed of Nebraskais following the case on behalf of hisstate, but he says that Nebraska willnot take part in the present suit be-cause to do so would confine Nebraskato the evidence introduced by Wy-oming, since its interests are identicalwith those of Nebraska; but if theWyoming suit should fail he would in-stitute an independent action on newevidence.
