The polls will open at o'clock to

in few words.
A great many people at one time
believed the government intended to
build the high line canal and they
went out and took up claims under
the survey. Most Of these people
were poor men and women who hop
ed to secure a piece of valuable land
in this valley. They organized a

a letter from Washington saying the
government could not construct the
canal for. perhaps, several years.
