The results of the fraudulent state ments that have been made, and of the ignorance of actual conditions, are that many persons are coming to Echo to locate or buy land, who should not have come. Fees of from $26 to 50 have been exacted by locators, who have either told absolute falsehoods or re mained silent and thus permitted " the intending settlers to retain false Ideas about the Echo region. The facts are that every acre of land lhat is worth anything now was taken years ago. Only water In abundant quantities, such as the government pro poses to supply, will add one. acre to the arable area, and three or four years must elapse before the government can put water on the. land, even though It is decided to 'make permanent the now temporary Echo, or Butter Creek irri gation reservation.
