FAKE RUMORS BY
THE WHOLESALE

Instead of Listening to Dame Rumor

The wi " has heard more rumors
detrin al to the Ignacio lands and
the com. OF La Plata and this south
west eci. IN in the past 4S hours
than one would expect to run across
in life time. And ii is safe TO state
that nine out of ten of the stories
are false in every particular. There
are lot of stories floating around
that are not worth bothering with. but
any story that has TO do directly with
the carrying out of agreements and
contracts with settlers on the Carey
act lands The Herald is directly in.
terested in. This morning il was Civ
en- out among the 200 home seekers
Al the depot that the contract of the
Colorado Land & Water company only
provided for furnishing water to the
extent OF one-tenth the amount call
for by lApri and that the compaiil
had Ave years in which to complete
the ditch and furnish the fun amount
Ao1rwater. This story had very
dampening effect on the people But
II Is false as false can he. The Her
aid again states that the contract calls
for water to be furnished by the LIST
day of April next year for irrigating
the entire land, and this contract Is
backed up by the bond now with the
state land board. Not only this, LOT.
tus a. Henderson have filed n bond to
complete the ditch by December 1st
of this year. Thirdly, the company,
10 show its absolute good faith, is
placing the money paid in with the
land board TO be held by the state
until the company shows that 1t will
have the water ,,peJ. contract. hence
inns rs h double gniaraiN-
In connection with the five.year wa.
ter story it probably came about by
the fact that the settler has five years
TO complete his title and place water
on the land and the clause that the
settler must water at least one-tenth, !
or one-eighth, of his land the first
latter amount is optional with the set
tier, thus 1t will be seen that every
provision is on the side of the settler.
Now in order that all false rumors
may be set aside The Herald suggests
that those interested In the land call
meeting and take up all these ques.
tions and provisions of the contract
with the officials of the company
There can be nothing underhanded
so far as this paper is concerned
Facts are good enough for The Herald
and conditions must be lived up to In
every particular, and so far as we
know every interest OF the settler is
and will be protected
If you do not want the land It is
another proposition. II does not
change the value a particle. II is
bargain and will SO prove in years
to come II is not a speculation for
land agents and real estate men, but
Iona fide settler proposiion-the
farmer who wants piece of land
which win make him and his family
comfortable living. If moneyed men
want improved propositions and grow
siDg orchards they can find them. hui
the Carey lands are for those who
want to secure land to locate on at
once and make future home.
