PLAN TO AID N. w. SETTLERS.
To Be Again Allowed to Work Out
Part Of Cost Of Lands.

Washington, June 26. Director
Newell, Of the reclamation service,
acting under the suggestions made by
Secretary Ballinger of the interior de.
partment, is at work upon a plan to
re-establish cooperative work on the
reclamation projects throughout the
west upon lines which win avoid the
legal obstacles found by Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham In his recent deci.
sion upon the matter.
The attorney general found that the
government had no right to enter
into an agreement such as heretofore
made, whereby settlers were allowed
to work out part of the cost OF their
irrigated lands.
The hardship which The breaking of
these agreements will make on the ir.
rigated land homesteaders is fully an.
preciated by the federal authorities,
and an attempt Is now being made TO
devise a satisfactory plan to permit
the settlers to receive proper credit

The final theory Of the authorities
is this: That Eastman was In need
of money: that he probably had been

knew something of her past life and
that he had been black mailing her:
that he attempted to continue this
