why DON'T YOU SIGN.

There are many land owner in
this valley who have not yet sign
ed contracts for water from the
Gunnison tunnel. Some have
signed for part of their land only.
Let us have frank snd perfectly
good natured discussion of this
matter. Why don't you sign?
What is this SO. called contract
which you are asked to sign?
In the first place it is not a con-
tract. There is not word in any
existing statute of the United
States Which gives to any officer OF
the United States any right to
enter into, for the government and
with the private citizen, any such
contract as this has been re-
presented to be. Neither the
secretary of the interior nor the
head of the geological survey nor
any other government official is
given any authority in the irriga-
ton law or elsewhere to enter into
such contract. This paper which
you are asked to sign is not a con
tract. There must be two parties
to a contract and no one has any
authority, by any existing law, to
bind the government by contract
such as this has been represented
to be. Mark my words, not such
as this purports to be or such as t
is, but such as it has been repre-
sented, and by many believed to be
And note also that there is no
charge of wilful or intentional mis-
representation. There has simply
been misunderstanding of the
true character of these "Water
Users contracts" which may result
in the abandonment by the govern
ment of the Guunison tunnel pro,
ject involving serious and irrepara-
BILE loss to the entire people Of this
vallev.
What then, is the so-called CON
tract which you are asked to sign
1t is, first, statement that you
own or control a certain number
of acres of land in this valley.
1t is, second, an expression of a
desire that the government will
construct the Gunnison tunnel.
1t is, third, statement, an EN-
phatic statement of the fact that if
the tunnel is constructed no water
user will be allowed to waste this
water; no water user will be al
lowed to take from this source
more water than lie needs: and
these three points cover the i'm
pOrtant and vital features of this
contract.
Now what ground, what shadow
Of ground is left upon Which any
land owner in this valley may stand
and refuse to sign for every acre
he owns! Does he hesitate to say he
owns a hundred or thousand
acres Of land! Does he hesi-
tate to express his desire that the
government will construct this
great work and double the value
of every acre he owns! Does he
hesitate to endorse the policy set
forth in the contract that no man
shall be allowed to waste water or
to control more water than he

The attempt that "Polly Pry"
claims was made on her life Tues
day night by a labor agitator is
thought, and almost positively
known to be only little scheme
of her very own to raise little
excitement. As it is a life and
death case no one can blame Polly
for it-night as well expect a
fish to live out of water as for Polly
to exist without sensation. She's
got to be the central figure in the
