PALO VERDE SETTLER
SCORE IN LAND CASE
ReIinquish the Claim to Patented
Ground, and Thereby Their
Position Is Strengthened
Transacts q General BankA
ing and Trust Business.

The Settlers Protective league Of
the Palo Verde valley, allied with the
federal government in contesting the
petition of the state for possession of
about $4,000 acres of land in the Palo
Verde valley, scored a point yesterday
in the hearing of the case before E. H.
Archer, United States surveyor gen.
eral OF California. Attorneys repre-
senting settlers who wished to obtain
title, from the state relinquished all
claim to patented lands and by this re-
linquishment have strengthened the
claims of settlers who have final re-
ceipts and also those whose entries
were made prior to the commencement
of the hearing now being conducted.
Witnesses examined yesterday were
Lyman F. Norton of Pomona, George
S. Irish, a former employe of the state;
Albert P. Wiley. merchant and post
master Of Palo Verde, and James H.
Levering. Following the examination
of these witnesses the state rested.
Postmaster Wiley testified that
though water overflows the land year.
ly, he has raised garden truck for four
consecutive years. The attorneys for
the government and for the Settlers
Protective league admit the fact that
the overflows occur, but place en-
phasis on the testimony given by the
postmaster and others that when the
waters recede the land readily re-
spends to cultivation.
WITNESSES TESTIFY
On this line of testimony the govern
ment representatives hope to win their
case, for under the grant of 1850, which
conveyed swamp and overflow lands to
the state, there is a clause which reads:I
"And rendered thereby unfit for cultl-
Vation."
The testimony of Postmaster Wiley
and other witnesses showed that Palo
Verde valley lands are fit for cultiva-
ton.
George S. Irish testified to crop and
river conditions in the valley and told
of seeing the valley inundated.
The last witness to testify before the
hearing was adjourned was James H.
Levering, an engineer, who was re-
called to the stand. He told of water
conditions and of what progress had
been made in attempting to protect the
land from overtiows.
The hearing will be resumed at 10
o'clock this morning, and it is believed
that on commencing proceedings in the
assembly room of the Chamber of Com
rnerce Mr.. Archer will adjourn to one
of the superior court rooms. The as
sembly room was crowded yesterday,
many people being interested in the
proceedings.
