FIGHTING
FOR HOMES
Settlers Object to New
Ruling REGARDING
Water Payments

FALLON, November 3O-The mem
bers of the Churchill County Farm.
ers' Association will this afternoon
hold a meeting at Fallon for the pur-
pose Of discussing the recent ruling
Of Secretary Garfield in regard to the
terms Of payment for water and land
on the Truckee-Carson irrigation pro-
ject in that county.
The farmers Of Churchill County
state that in many Of the sections al
ong the Truckee-Carson project If
forced to pay for the water used on
their land according to terms made
by Secretary Garfield they will be un-
able to meet their payments and will
have to give up their lands.
Many Of these settlers have work
ed hard upon their lands and have
spent q great deaf Of money in Inn
provements and to give up their
homes would result in mucr hardship.
The members of the Farmers As
sociation will endeavor to make some
term of settlement with Secretary
Garfield, whereby the settlers who
are pinched for coin will be able to
make smaller and more reasonable
payments. Senators Newlands and
Nixon also intend to take this matter
up during this term of Congress, and
will do all they can to relieve the set
tiers, some Of whom may have to lose
their homes unless something 10 done.
