"A railroad is a necessity for a town; no one town is necessary for a railroad" he said. John W. Corson believed the com pany should be granted what it asked although he admitted there may be some phases of the subject with which he was not familiar. C. C. Mueller agreed although the people across the line might be handi capped slightly. J. P. Dunaway favored the passage of the resolution. Elwood Clark was strongly in fay r of it, and gave the present condition of Union as an illustration of the evils arising from fighting a railroad com pany on such a question. Mr. Moore believed the city fortunate in not be ing more badly effected, and that the present is a most favorable time for Major L. H.

At this time Mr. Claggett suggested the proviso that the present right of w.iy be abandoned should be added to the resolution and, although Judge L wery and Mr. Ashton declared they had no authority to make such an in sertion, the clause was added.

SUIT AGAINST HERRON OFF (Continued from page 1.) his associates were proceeding was at tacked, and they were enjoined from further work. By the voluntary action of Major French this action is dismissed and the njunction granted thereunder is vacat ed and dissolved. In connection with the proceedings it is only fair, to all parties concerned, to add a word of ex planation. Major French came here from New York to investigate the Bully Creek Irrigation Project, and, on the whole, the project commended itself most highly to 1 is best judge ment. He entered into negotiations with Herron and his associates for the purchase of the water rights under the Smith location and which rights had b en transferred to Herron. With commendable zeal and caution he put his corps of engineers into the field to ascertain the best manner in which the then plans could be carried o.it or enlarged upon and made the foundation of an extensive irrigation project (and at the same time he hsd Cireful reseach made, by com peter t lawyers, into the validity of the water rights.) The negotiations ended unsatisfactorily. science-it doesn't seem to me to be the kind or the right thing. After a more thorough investigation and exa miration into the titles Major French, now fully recognizing the . rights under which Herron and his asso-. ciatt'S are acting, voluntarily and with- out consideration, retires from the field. To put it in his own frank statement, he did not come here to obstruct, -but j to build. A more honorable or open '; position would be hard to imagine. In . o:der to place the matter beyond ll question, in order to remove any pos- : sible cloud from the titles to Bully ! Creek waters, Major French has not ; been content with a mere withdrawal of the suits instituted on his behalf but has gone further and deeded to Herron and his associates all rights in which he has any interest. This removes the possibility of suc cessful attack on the validity of the rights of Herron and his associates and goes far toward clearing the way for an early and successful completion of this important enterprise. The above statement, while emanat ing from Mr. Herron and his associates, has been submitted to Major French, who has consented to it's publication and has approve 1 it a correct state ment of the facts. Major French has under consideration even larger irrigation p.iojccts and will return to Vale immediately after the holidays. G. W. Vale HAYES ATTOKNHY-AT-J.AW G. M.
