““The right to maintain an action to quiet title to water rights acquired by appropriation is well settled. Miller v. Lake Irrigation Co., 27 Wash. 447 , 67 Pac. 996 . In Wiel on Water Rights, Vol. 1, §283, it is said: “ ‘Ditches and water rights may be sold on execution as real property. An action to quiet title as for real property is proper.
