ing made by the entrymen recently ex-
amined in the Cunningham coal lands
inquiry to shift the responsibility for
the varioues enterprises launched in

ment has introduced Cunningham s
private journal, also reports, showing
that the money invested in the SUR
veys for railroads. wharves, coal
bunkers and tunnels was paid from a
common fund, showing collusive ac>
tion by entrynen in developing their
property. The entrymen now dis
claim any participation in these pro-
motions. and say it was entirely the
work of Cunningham. Entryman F.

Testimony VIII Not Bo Concluded
This Week-President Suit Is Only
One of Three - Plaintiffs Base
Claims on Three Reasons. Which
Defendants Deny.

At an expense of close to $3.50 per
day the hearing of the first Echo wa
ter suit has been in progress this
! week Sixty witnesses are now in at
tendance and from present indications
the taking of testimony will not be
concluded this week The last wit

probably take the stand this after
noon and then the defense will begin
the Introduction of testimony the first
thing tomorrow morning. It is GER
tain that at least three days will be
consumed before the case is given to
the judge for his decision.
The case now being tried is that Of
the Allen Ditch company against the
Henrietta Milling company and it is
only one Of three or four which are
about of equal prominence and which
will probably consume about the
same length of time each.
The attorneys for the plant IF
company allege they are entitled to
what water they need for three rea-
sons, the first being that of prior use,
the second that of adverse use and
the third being that the defendants
had abandoned whatever rights they
may have at one time possessed. BY
adverse use is meant that they used
the water for such a length of time
without opposition on the part of the
defendants that they had acquired
the right to the water.
The attorneys for the milling COM
pany deny all of these, alleging that
the mills ditch was constructed first,
that the irrigation people acquired no
rights by adverse use and that they
had not abandoned their rights.

thousands of dollars to exterminate
the pest.

that the pests were being shipped in
