The Grand View Water Users
association, under the canal on the
south side Of the Snake river, has
taken legal steps TO redress the
wrongs the members think they are
laboring under
About the middle Of February the
Grand View Land and Irrigation COM
pany gave notice that no water would
be for sale ualess arranged for
previous to March as the company
proposed to devote all water unsold
at that time to its on use. II de-
veloped that the company had bought
state land above the canal and pro-
posed to water 1t by diverting water
from the canal by pumping, This
the association considered Illegal, as
there is as much. or more. land be-
low the canal without water than can
be taken from the Bruneau river.
Further the canal, while one Of the
best in the state.i is badly out Of repair
and comparatively little has been
done by the company during the
winter to place it in good condition
for the irrigating season now so near
at hand.
For these reasons the Waters Users
association has asked for a receiver
and retained some Boise lawyers to
look after its interest. AT a meeting
held Monday night it was unani-
mously voted to contribute 10 cents
per share, on all water rights repre-
sented, to take up the fight.

business went on throughout the day, or,
rather, until the middle of the afternoon,
