T. c. Henry relinquishes all his
claims and titles 20 water rights and
land rights that effect the building
of the Orchard Mesa project or the
taking of water for that project from
the Grand river
Furthermore. T. c. Henry agrees
as a result of this settlement, to
abandon all of his filings in the
Grand river affecting the water
rights of the Grand Valley High
Line canal. and he agrees to with
draw all his opposition made before
the interior department of the ma
tional government to the building of
the High Line canal by the govern
ment. He will no longer make any
effort to prevent the building of the
big project by the government. nor
will he make any effort to secure the
contract for the construction of the
big canal.
This settlement. clearing away ali
obstacles in the pathway of the two
most important irrigation projects of
this valley, will cause general rejoic-
ing throughout the valley.
The settlement is one of the most
important transactions affecting this
city. this valley and their interests

latter to attempt to build the ditch

as detailed above. and to him must
be given n large amount of credit for
the satisfactory and splendid termi-
nation of these ominous difficulties.
With the announcement of the
settlement of the Orchard Mesa diff
culties and the withdrawal of oppo-
sition to the governmental construc-
tion of the High Line canal comes
the announcement that the Orchard

chard mesa. for the accommodation
of a large force of men that will be
nut to work at once on the Orchard
Mesa project. which will bring sew
eral thousand acres of the finest land
in the valley under cultivation. The
work will be pushed rapidly.
During the past two days in this
city and at Fruita petitions, directed
to the secretary of the interior and
setting forth in most emphatic terms
the desires of the people of the Grand
valley to have the government build
the canal and protesting against the
interference of Henry, have been cir |
culated and signed by hundreds of |
people.
Everybody in Grand Junction and |
in the Grand valley should feel good |
tonight after reading The Sentinel's
announcement of the withdrawal of
Henry's opposition to the building of
the canal and of the settlement of
the difficulties that have delayed the
construction of the Orchard Mesa
project.
