EDITOR ADvooATE:-In your last
issue | noticed letter from Mr..
George Wright, in which | was
misrepresented and hope you will
allow mo the use Of your columns
to reply. Mr.. Wright is entirely
mistaken. He surely knew that
the cornet was using belonged to
Hlllsboro, and he will have hard
time making people believe differ
ent. | have no cornet OF my own,
and II | had hardly think /
would be fool enough to give 1t
away, to say nothing about giving
away something | had borrowed.
The way Mr. Wright came to
have the horn | Ind borrowed WAS
this way Mr.. 1ominson, leader
in the band, decided that | should
use the baritone; 30, one evening,
III the presence of witnesses, |
suggested to Mr.. Wright that he
take the oornet | had been using
and turn the one he had over to tho
band, as the one / was using WAS
much the easier To blow. This he
did, but | never once thought of
him claiming the horn; and /
believe when he turned the cornet
he had been using over to the
leader, he said to him that he was
going to use the cofnet that had
used, as it was easier to blow.
Respectfully,

proposed arrangements with the

The company have the following

company will turn water out OF
their canal into the presut bitches
free Of ali charge. This will save
the owners of these bitches consld-

their bitches.
After the reservoir is built, the
acequlas are to have three options.
They may exchange present water
rights for rights on the new canal,
by paying $l.25 per acre; or they
may continue to take water from
the canal, provided they pay a
reasonable compensation, or they
can get the water they are at pres

OF the latter two cases will they be
entitled to water stored in the

otherwise come down the river.
