The government has withdrawn
considerable land in the Duchesne
river country from the Rock creek
up. 1t is proposed to keep the land
for reservoir purposes. Quite num-
ber of homesteads have been included
in the tract Just what Uncle Sam
expects to do about it, is as yet to be
seen. The United States has not the
right of eminent domain. Therefore
cannot condemn the homesteads. So
if the government wishes that section
for reservoirs then the homesteaders
will have to be bought out if they
care to sell The fact is when the
homesteaders objection goes up to
the government through the proper
channel there may be, change The
government agents are doing the
things they think for the greatest
good and if reservoir would be for
the best up there then it is to be
hoped the farmers will see the benefit
