Ed O'Donnell believed the road com
pany was not asking much, and F. B.
Zutz believed that if the present road
were abandoned and a street opened
along the south side of the new line
things would not be so bad.
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. In an
swer to Mr. Clark, the Mayor declared
the railroad company has no deed to the
present right of way but had a right to
use it. Councilman Lawrence moved
and Councilman Morfitt seconded the
resolutions nd they were passed unan
imously.

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.

defendants in the above mentioned uc

Major French and told of his willing
ness to dismiss the suit and to consent
to the vacation of the iniuni'tiin u.KiVK

"I'm going home to spend Christmas, , S. D. Taylor

noi read, the letter said:" Even if
Herron's water rights are open to crit-'
icism and attack and contain flaws, n T)
isn't it true that your knowledge of ' L)Tt ' ' FU!TOV
