WILLIAMSON TELLS "How IT'S

1t is time now for more reason and
less prejudice. How do we know
that the reclamation of these lands
is EVEN A POSSIBILITY? Have we
ever had the report of any reliable
engineer? Has any survey ever
been made of this particular terri
tory?
Answer these questions in the neg
alive as you are compelled to do, and
we have nothing more than a WILD
CAT SCHEME OF A FANATIC who
blindly plunges into a rockies squan-
dering Of the money and credit of the
state for the benefit only of FAVOR
TIE FEW who will thus become en-
dowed with that proYerbial 'LICEN-
Sc TO STEAL"
We repeat that no duly aIthenti-
Gated report has ever been made of a
survey of this locality. And we say
also that the horseback opinions
of few engineers who have of their
own volution, ventured into this bar
rem waste, are very widely d.
VERGENT. The most CONSERVA-
TIVE of these reports we have ever
yet seen or heard, gives a level of
ONLY SEVEN FEET ABOVE THE

With such figures before US, it
is to say the least, the manifesto

building expensive machinery at such
exorbitant prices as to invite the sus-

and is being done before a survey of
this territory HAS EVER BEEN
AUTHORIZED, and before ANY ES-
INMATES OF IT'S COST could posi-
