Show LETTER RECEIVED FROM V. S. INDIAN AGENT Fort Duchesne. Ftah. August 11, 1916. Dear Sir: This is simply to let you know that we are still doing business and that we are offering even a better proposition propo-sition than heretofore. We now have a Water Commissioner, representing the United States District Court, in charge of o-'.ir rivers and under the instructions he has received there is no possible chance of our being at any time short of water in any part of our project. Please read these instructions carefully, they are set forth in full in The Myton Free Press inclosed. 1 have repeatedly made the assertion asser-tion that there is water enough in the streams of the Uintah Basin to irrigate every acre of agricultural land there is in the Basin; and 1 wish to repeat the assertion now, and there are about 500.000 acres of agri-cultural agri-cultural land in the Basin. We have twenty-nine thousand acres of A-No. 1 agricultural land, all under Government ditch, which we desire to lease, every acre carrying a primary water-right, every acre guaranteed guar-anteed water by order of the Court. I would like to ask you: Where else can you secure the free use of laud and the free use of water for a period peri-od of five ynars. together with a cash bonus for subduing the soil. We have on the market today, over two thousand acres in tracts of from 4 0 to 160 acres each, each acre carrying carry-ing a primary water-right, which we are selling on any date that suits your convenience, at. from ? 1 2 . 5 0 to $2tLoo per acre. Where can it be equalled ? On November 15, 1016. we place on the market about two thousnnd acres more. Von better make up your mind to come in and buy forty and lease forty ami make you a home in a good country coun-try while it can be done within your means, for this is just about the last call. i Respect fully, ALBERT H. KNEALF. V. S. Indian Agent. |
