I. project settlers who have Toted down the proposed bond Issue with which the company's interest in the project was to have been pur chased, have left themselves in an exceedingly difficult position. Whatever may be the rights of the settlers under the Carey act, it is a fact that the C. O. I. company is In control of the project, and that any attempt to enforce an ouster under that law, assuming that such thing were possible, would mean extended litigation, great expense and long de lay. Under existing conditions de lay will be fatal. Taking the project as it stands, the thing the settlers are Interested in is the continuous delivery of water in sufficient quantities for irrigation. For the delivery of water, the canals, ditches and flumes must be kept in condition, that is maintained. For this purpose the settlers are obliged, under their contracts, to pay main tenance fees to the company, which, In turn, expends them on the work. Because of increased costs, the com pany has not been receiving enough to do the maintenance work as it should be done and it has not been able to obtain an increased fee from the public utility commission or oth erwise. It now takes the position, we understand, that hereafter it will spend on maintenance only so much as it receives from the settlers. When ! this money is gone, the work will stop. This is what makes tire posi tion of the settlers difficult. There is no doubt that the fees re ceived will not be sufficient to put the system in proper shape for wa ter delivery, and that means great loss, even ruin, to the settlers. We cannot blame the company. It can hardly be expected to borrow for maintenance when there is no expec tation of seeing its money returned. Undoubtedly its stockholders have had tremendous losses on the project. They have now reached their limit. They can go nq further. If we have the facts, the property which was to have been turned over by the company if the sale had car ried, has a value well above the pur chase price, and It was property that would not necessarily come to the settlers if they got possession under the Carey act. In other words, there was value for them in the transac tion. Nevertheless they have turned the sale down. The question now is, what about next summer's water? Somebody seems likely to go short. If the set tlers want to avoid this it would seem to be desirable to hold another elec tion and vote th bonds. RipplirigRhumos y wan ynAA irfSjSjd T3s.MrEJ Hard To Figure I know not why I always think a new year will be fine, and feel it will not put, a kink in glowing plans of mine; or why a year seems on the blink when 'tis in its decline. "I've muddled things this year," I say, when I regard the past ; "I've let my kopecks fly away like leaves upon the blast, but doubtless after New Year's Day improvement will be vast. The new year brings a change of luck to every human freak; my bank account the old year struck, and made my coffers leak, but now I'll save a silver buck, and maybe two, each week." The new year has a magic touch, or so, methinks, it seems; she is a vampire and as such she brings us hophead dreams, and ere she dies we get in Dutch, with all our burnished schemes. I know I simply can't be wise, my deeds are all mistakes, I travel with the bonehead guys whose high resolves are fakes; how then shall I to wisdom rise because a new year breaks? In folly I've grown old and gray, and in my Moated Grange I count great chances thrown away, and it is passing strange that I exclaim on New Year's Day, "Now things will take a change!"
