AN UNREASONABLE FIGURE.

As will be seer elsewhere the COM
mittee appointed by Mayor Cook to
interview Herman Often relative to
the spring upon his land in connec-
ton with a city water supply met
with anything but encouragement.
Mr.. Often, knowing that the city must
have the spring from which Little
Casino creek flows if a gravity sys-
TEN is to be used. placed upon il the
stiff price of $500, or $500 more
than he paid for the 1860 acres which
embraces the spring two years ago.
OF course, Mr.. Often takes the posi-
tion that he does not want to dispose
OF the spring as he needs il for his
stock. but parties who are competent
II judge state that there would still
be sufficient water for stock after the
city had appropriated all the water
desired.
In answer to the question as to
what rights he claimed Mr.. often said
that he had all the rights owned by
Mr.. Stafford. but as water rights were
filed on the stream as early as 1880
or prior to Mr.. Staiford's entry, there
is a question involved as to who owns
the water. 1t looks very much as II
Mr.. Often was only entitled to enough
water for stock and could only re-
cover damages for trespass upon his
land in any event. But this may be
a matter for the courts to determine.
The spring for irrigating purposes
is of no value to Mr.. Often whatever
as it is located in the extreme east.
ern end of his land. All water in ex-
cess of what Is needed for stock pur.
poses is valueless to him as the
stream soon leaves his property.
As a farther evidence of Mr.. Otten's
unreasonableness he said he would
sell all of the land for So an acre, a
big price for desert land, and for
property that cost him less than SO
an acre and upon which he pays taxes
ar the rate of sl.50 per acre.
The fact that Mr.. Often would not
agree to submit the value of the water
to a board of appraisers fairly chosen
would seem to indicate a disposition
on his part to compel the city to pay
his price-and he has a price-for the
spring.
There Is no doubt but that the city
fathers would be willing to pay Mr.
Often a liberal price for the water
rather than institute condemnation
proceedings. but it may be necessary
to do so. When it comes to public
utilities and necessities the people as
a whole have some claims that the
individual cannot ignore. The matter
will be taken up at the next meeting
of the city council and definite &C
ton decided upon.

Pat O'Hara Not Guilty.

In the case of the state VS.. Pat
O'Hara. the well known Geyser mer-
chant and stockman, in the. district
court last week, and jury brought ir
a verdict of not guilty, after being out
only fifteen minutes. The case grew
out of the troubles between O'Hara
and Thomas Shannon, the sheepman,
a neighbor, and has been told and re.
told in the justice courts. O'Hara
was charged with exhibiting a weap.

A BAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.

Now that spring is drawing near
newcomers are commencing to arrive
with the intention of making their
homes In Lewistown. While this
should be most gratifying to our PEG.
rle, it is to be regretted that we have
little inducement to offer in the way of
providing them homes. There is not
a vacant house in Lewistown at this
time and yet there are from twelve to
eighteen applicants for residences. II
this is the situation at present what
will it be two months hence? Must
we turn them way for the lack of &C.
commodations? This is a ~situatitn
that should be met by some OF u
LEGAL capitalists. There is a demand
for a large number of small cottages,
four and fve-room houses. They will
rent readily at from SIS to 500 per
month and can be built for $1,000 to
81, 200, returning good interest on the
money.
Many of those who come among us
are not prepared to build at once.
They are mostly young people who
come to get a start in life as have
those 40 are -ow firmly established
IL. business. We understand a mum.
Der of residences are contemplated,
nut the difficulty in getting building
material on the ground will delay the
lightning of work for some time. As
there is promise of an early spring ii
is to be hoped that those who furnish
material. as well as builders. will
start operations at the earliest posi-
BILE date.
AS it is part OF the business of a
newspaper to set forth the advantages
OF the town, county and state in which
il is located. and as the ARGUS has
especial pride in the growth of Lew
istown, it earnestly hopes that no one
will be turned away for want of shell
ter.
The future of Lewistown is secure
and men of means in the county or
fiom the outside will take no risks in
real estate investments. Now is the
time to make purchases of residence
property. It will command higher
figures in the near future. Vacant
lots will double in value in the next
three years. Let business men and
others talk over this matter and see

worthy of consideration. While We

also do what we can to see that they
have a place in which to live when
they arrive.
