roll ablo authority to u us an ait ogden man named moroni skeen last year organ laed a company and going to idaho made the iho necessary location for or ss 1 canal to be taken out on the west side fildo of 0 snake river sit at a point some ton ten miles 0 above b 6 blackfoot lie ila tried to contract with settlers to take water from him at an annual rental of at 10 10 per acre tho the people on consultation decided that they hey could not make such it contract but determined to build a canal of their own on tho the operative cooperative co plan every man being a stockholder tho the two canals canala started starl cd ono one under the title of tho rho american falls company tile tho other as the peoples People Ps company it was understood that the peoples companas comp anys mater v ater should cover some or acres of 0 good land nearest tuo the source of the canal while tho tha water of the other company should be carried to about an equal amount of land lower down the peoples company dug twenty four miles of canal lust last year thirty feet wide on tho the bottom find and live five fet fact deep the ogden company built two miles of canal but as tho the company could cat beet no contracts acta from settlers 6 they went to dolse find and on application induced the governor and land commission to withdraw all the acres below these canals from on entry try under tho the carey carer act the trial matter has gono gone to washington for confirmation fir against tho the protests of tho the owners in the tha companas como comp anya anys canal and land we do not believe that the carey carcy act was intended to apply to lands which only require the heftier bottler to turn a str stream earst ea easily upon it find and wo we suggest to the utah and idaho del delegations in congress to interpose and not to permit the desired confirmation until a ill all the facts acts shall be placed la III their possession a and all the equities be considered at least the upper halt of the tra tract laret should be released tor for when in the a land it was withdrawn the locators had expended in order to make it ayal available lable at lout least three times tho the government price the decision in the case may be of vital interest in the decision of a hundred other similar cases in utah and idaho I 1 |
