is an answer TO the charges made in
an affidavit filed recently IN the suit
for possession of the canyon in which
Fellows was charged with allowing
himself to be Improperly Influenced in
the preparation of his report favoring
the segregation of the canyon for res
ervoir purposes.
Mr.. Fellows says that the proposed
reservoir is essential to the needs of
the government in reclaiming the arid
lands IN Colorado. Utah, Arizona and
California; that the construction Of the
reservoir Is feasible; that the supply
of unappropriated water is sufficient to
fill the reservoir annually and that the
construction of the reservoir will not
interfere with the building Of the Dem
yer. Northwestern & Pacific. The suit
referred to is one in which an applica-
tion for an injunction is made by
United States District Attorney Gram
ston to restrain the Denver North

through the Gore canyon.
