Agent State Land Beard to Hear
Complaints, IL Any, which Entry
men Have to Make.

At meeting of the state land
board Monday, among other things
1t was decided to send an agent of
the board to hear complaints, II any,
which the entrymen under the Amer
lean Falls Canay system may have to
make. There was nothing in the pub
lished proceedings to indicate whom
the agenet might be, but It has been
the custom to assign such tasks to the
state engineers Office. If 1t is the in
tention to inquire into the construc-
tion of the system the state engineer
will unquestionably have charge of
the inquiry. But II 1t is only to ex-
anime into the relations Of the COM
pany with the entrymen, or the man
ner in which the former is fulfilling
its contract with the latter, any en-
ploye of the state land department
or anyone whom the board may deem
especially qualified, may be sent. 1t
is probable, however. that both lines
Of inquiry will be followed, and the
investigation will probably be made
at the homes of the entrymen and
along the banks of the canal. The
system Is nearing cowpletion and the
board doubtless is seeking informa-
tion not only as to the character OF
construction, but as to It's operation
as well.--Press.
