says all the water of the streams in the Big
Horn basin was parceled out to members
of the state land ring" by the state en-
gineer, and companies have been formed
which propose to charge settlers $40 per
acre for water rights which are not worth
over 81 per acre. The lands which the
state authorities have asked to have set
apart under the Carey law are not desert
lands. as contemplated in the act of Con-
gress, Mr. Foote asserts. In conclusion
the senator says: 1.-The design is to create
a system of peonage or tenantry at will
among all of our rich valleys, where hon.
orable and Independent manhood should be
found. God forbid such a contamination"

was caught in the midst of the middle pack
