WESTERN NEIGHBoRs.
They Saw Lost River and Located.

Chas. w. Duffy, Agent for The
Western Land and Colonization Com
pany, was here Saturday from Sun
nyside, Washington, with a party OF
homeseekers who had been out to
Powell and looked all over the Big
Lost River Project. Each of them
was pleased with it and bot some
land.
It is of cpecial significance to us
that this party investigated the pro-
ject and invested in the lands of the
Big Lost River Land & Irrigation
Company, for they are conservative
men who had spent much time and
money looking over a number of pro-
jects in the west, and liked this one
the best of all. Some Of the points
of superiority about it are the great
scope of land lying in an open val
ley close to a great mining district
on one side and great stock range
on both sides, its advantages for
transportation and its prospects of
soon having transcontinental line
thru It.
People now days are looking care
fully for two things in agricultural
lands: To get something that has a
commercial value by reason of what
it will produce that can be marketed
for coin of the realm, and for some
thing that will spring into good val
ues by reason of the building of
railroads, factories, schools, colleges
or some of those things that add
value the moment the site or right
of-way is selected, and there are pros
poets or material for any or all of
these things If the right people lay
hold and make use of the natural
advantages.
The names of the men in the par
ty, are as follows:
Chas. w. Duffy of North Yakima
and Spokane, Washington, Benson
& Dighton, Sunnyside, Albert
Christensen, John Locke, J. d. Gard

TAX DECISION
RECALLS STORY
OF OLD FIGHT
The Fight Of Old Water Co. vs.. Mountain
Proponents One OF The Bitterest in The
West Story Now Almost Forgotten

The decision in the tax case Of ].
Marshall Miller yesterday in Judge
Sullivan's court, recalls one of the
bitterest fights that ever took place
in western town. II was what was
known as the old water company fight
against the advocates at that time of
Mountain water.
During the continuance of that
figh', which extended over a period
of ten years and was carried into
the churches, into school matters, in
to the secret organizations, dividing
families and friends, the entire town
was divided into two great camps, for
and against the proposition.
Every election the town was arous-
ed to a condition of frenzy over the
issues at hand and there were many
bitter feuds that 1t took years to
overcome.
The ownership of the old water
plant finally became so involved that
no one knew who were the rightful
owners to the property. Two bro
Tiers in Chicago became involved in
a bitter fight and that added fuel to
the trouble at this end of the line.
The old standpipe which was torn
down last year at the orders of the
council ana the old water station
on the Grand river at the foot of
Fifth street are the only visible evil
dences outside of the plugs on the
street corners of the existence of the
old company.
A great many of the men who
were leaders in the fight have left
Grand Junction for other places of
abode and the bitterness of that early
warfare is now departed.
