Stafford, Ariz. Oct 16. 1904. To Hon. Fletcher M Doan. Judge of
 the District Court of the Second Judicial District:
 Dear Sir:
 On behalf of the people of this valley and especially on behalf of those whose homes are located west of the sand wash. I appeal to you to bring to a speedy trial the great water suit which is pending in your court; to force those who are dallying with time to prepare for trial and let the issues be adjudicated and settled for all time.
 Every day of delay is of great in jury to this part of the valley. It IS i used by interruptions persons to our oetrlment and financial loss that has caused business in lands to come to an absolute standstill. Farms that were worth thousands of dollars, at the | present time. cannot be given away. ! II a stranger cones to the valley to | seek a hcme, he is immediately told i not to purchase homes west of the | sand wash. for as soon as the law II suit spoken of, is settled, that part of k the country will have no water, thus i making the land valueless. This | blackmailing scheme has been car i ried on to such an extent that noth- ing short of courts decision will restore our valley to it's normal con dition.
 There are scores of people who are | anxious 10 buy homes and establish \ themselves in this part of the valley but are lec to believe they are throw \ ing their money away and consequent ly do not invest. but instead. many ' leave the valley. We call upon your honor to convene Y court some time during the fah or | winter and adjudicate our rights.
 Respectfully yours. Y PETER ANDERSON,
 President Board of Directors Un- II ion Canal and Irrigation Go.
