The Telegram was in re
sponse to one from Judge Cas-
we'll, which was sent al the in
stance Of a number of citizens,
asking that no action be taken
on the application of Henry r.
Rhone now in Washinton,
representing the Homesteaders
association, for throwing open
lands in the western part of the
county, until those interested
in the building of the High
Line canal could have a hear
ing
The telegram from Mr.. Hogg
which states that the High Line
Canal scheme has not been
abandoned by the government,
will be glorious news to the
men and women of this val
ley who have hoped for years
that this great irrigation water
way would be built The hopes
of those interested were some
what dampened for a short
time. but at no time has there
been any abatement of work
for the building OF that splen-

To build the High Line

means an increase Of several

thousands of acres of the most
productive land in the state of
