Freewater, Aug. THE Little
Walla Walla Irrigation Union and the
Milton. Freewater & Hudson Bay Ir-
rigation company are now consider
ing the advisability of settling the in
junction suit brought by the Little
Walla Walla Irrigation Union against
the Milton, Freewater & Hudson Bay
company some three years ago, for
the purpose of restraining the men,
bers of the latter from cutting the
banks of the Little Walla Walla COM
pany. At that time a stipulation was
entered into whereby the Hudson Bay
company was allowed to cut into the
banks of the Walla Walla river, estab-
lish their headgates there. and take
therefrom two-fifths of all the water
running therein from October 1 to
April 12 of each year. This stipula-
tion was to remain in force until Aug
ust IL, 1906, when the same might
possibly be tried out on its merits.
However, the present suit brought
by the Little Walla Walla Irrigation
Union will settle all questions arising
gotiations are being entered into with
view of dismissing the former suit.
and extending the existing stipulation.
