lias been, th - source of . considerable
trouble between the company -and the

. views on the situation: '. "-'
i "In your Issue of last Tuesday more
or less prominence Is given my nam
in connection with the trouble between
. the company and the sttlers. These
difficulties, .now being sired, In th news-,

were In existence and bothering the

"Since my connection with this prop-
oeitlon ther have been no trsnaaotlons
' hst any on can complain of either le-
gaily or morally. Our compsny refused
' (to comply with . certain .demands . of
. members of the state land board In
. '. making rules and the . report of ths i
board to the lent legislature will show
' that I butted Into these troubles rather
than had a hand In making; them. ...

"The contention of the board that the
company should provide storage reser
' voire Is well taken, and In the fall of
'1101 .our company made known to th
board It plans for such a system at an
estimated cnet of 140.000 to $50,000, but
' tt was then th governor's pleasure that
' w be put out of business, and that
eeems to have been the policy sine.

"The funds provided by th settlers
