CHAIRMAN CUPP ISSUES MANI
FESTO TO THE NORTH SIDE
HOMESTEADERS,
WILL MONK.

| HIS OInCe is beSelgeO WIN inquiries
Concerning Vague and Baseless
RumOrs-Rights and Obligations
of Settlers Fully Set Forth Here in
This Interview.
Chairman w. R. Cupp of the com.
mittee on organization of the Black
| canyon irrigation district says that
his Office is beseiged with inquiries
concerning rumors which are utterly
misleading and which ara putting
many homesteads in danger. For
the protection of the people, Mr..
Cupp, in an interview, handed out
the following very important official
announcement:
Numerous reports have been cir
culated of late which are apt to mis-
lead many settlers and cause them to
| lose their claims unless precaution is
taken. One report so circulated is to
the effect that settlers may move
away from their claims until water
has been turned into the main canals,
l wish to state that this report is
without proper authority, and a per-
son should be very sure that it is cor
rect before moving from the home
stead.
"All settlers are requested to per-
feet their entries at as early a date as
possible, and for this purpose the sec
rotary of the interior has made a res
toration of 10000 acres of land en-
bracing most of the entries on which
entry has been made sufficient time to
enable the entryman to commute or
make final proof, and it is hoped that
as many as possible will at once apply
to make final or Communication proof.
as this will very materially assist in
the work of organizing the Black Can
yon Irrigation district and particu-
larly in the sale of bonds SO that
work may be commenced at as early
date as possible.
Recently report gained currency
that the permanent line survey, re-
Gently being made, was below the for
mer line adopted. This is entirely
false, the new line being as far as
made considerably above the former
line and from the engineers unof-
ncial reports much better line in
many respects.
In the interest of all concerned
this permanent line survey should he
completed as early as possible, as the
former lines were run in deep snow in
February to meet tho requirements
for water filings, and for that reason
do not give an accurate idea of the
land to be covered, which it is ex-
pected will be more than one can
safely estimate at the present time
rom the surveys at hand.
Il take pleasure in announcing
hat the work of organizing the dis
.rict is progressing as rapidly as the
aw will permit. This is now in the
lands of the county commissioners
vhero 1t has been accepted on June
~, 1910, and final hearing August 3
$40. at 10 O'Clock a. m.
THE completing of the survey ia
lot actually necessary to the complet
ng OF the organization, but is neces-
airy before the bond election can be
allied and before work can be COM
nenced, and for that reason it seems
est to hasten with this work. so that
% delay will be caused later by wait
ng for the completion after the d.
ectors have been elected, such DELAY
light make years difference In the
nal date when water may be de-
vered to the lands.
I'm word to the settlers and land 1
olders would suggest that you,
First, inquire for the facts from
lthentic sources before acting upon
'ports.
Second, pay up assessments as
ION as possible and encourage your
'ighbor to do so II he or she has NOT
ready.
Third, make application and com :
