The Sand lake dam upon tho upper
James river is proviis . more troublesome
impeachment to the prosperity Of the lower
valley than was at first anticipated. The
entire river below the dam is drying up,
while above the dam, q hundred miles up,
the water is setting back and OVERLOOKING
the surrounding country. Mills have
ceased to run and farmers along the river
who were dependent upon-thsm for their
supply Of flour are compelled to come
twenty-five, fifty and q hunred miles with
their grists, This condition exists to safety
the rapacity Of q few operators, who have
under contemplation an extensive land
grab, which includes the entire acreage
overlooked by means OF this dam. Under
our territorial laws there seems, at q glance,
to be little relief for the settlers below, but
the United States law is sufficient to abate
the nuisance. Under any process OF the
courts relief would be slow and in the
meantime the occupants of the valley must
suffer the inconvenience to which they are
now subjected and must incur the injurious
effects of malaria arising from the bed of
the dried up river. An injunction would
only prevent further work upon the dam,
which is already fourteen feet high, aud
would not do away with the already exist.
ing evil. B. NJ. Smith and his c%o-laborers
undoubtedly studied the legal enactments
bearing upon the case before they perpe-
trated this outrage upon the people. They
doubtless realize that they can can drag the
case along through the courts for many
years and that in the interim the swollen
lake will have been meandered and their
object attained. After this they will have
no use for the immense body Of water they
have backed up to cover the unsurveyed
prairies Of Brown county.
