LAND BOARD
Forty Thousand Acres VIII BE Ap-
piled for Under the Carey Act in
This District.-Important Meet
ing Held Tuesday. . ...

February 10th is the date set by
the Elmore Irrigation Company when
they will appear before the state
land board and ask for segregation
of about 10000 acres under the Car
ey Act. The engineers report and
all data will be available at that
time to present to the land board
for action.
There is no doubt that the segregd-
tion will be granted and this coun-
try placed before the people in bet
ter light than it has ever before en-
ioyed. The Carey Act is known as
the safest and surest thing in irri-
cation and when settlers can be guar
anteed state protection in the mat
ter Of water rights our trouble Will
have passed.
Tuesday afternoon a most import
ant meeting was held In the Offices
utilized by the Gilmore Irrigation
Company for the purpose OF discus
sing the receivers certificate situa-
ton. Large amounts have been ex-
pended for these certificates and as
they are a first and prior lien on the
system It was realized that they would
have to be taken care of. The Offices
were filled with those Interested in
the situation and the best meeting
ever held inthis city for the purpose
Of discussing the water question or
anything pertaining to 1t was tho
result The company requested those
holding certificates to place them in
escrow with the Stockgrowers State
Bank for a period Of eight months
when cash will be given for them 81
the face value or stock in the COM
pany which will be accepted in pay
ment for water rights with the COM
pany.
Or. If anyone holding a receivers
certificate wishes to exchange the
same at the present time. stock will
be given and taken in exchange for
water rights the same as cash. This
gives the holder good proposition
and a chance to recover the money
he has expended
The company Is in litigation at
the present time and utterly unable
TO yap any OF the certificates. II IS
impossible to tell when affairs would
be so adjusted as to permit the buy
ing in Of the certificates. unless they
are taken in by the Gilmore Irrigation
on the plans outlined above
The company is very anxious to
have these certificates all in before
the segregation is asked for and
those holding them should not hes
itate in signing up. In order to as
sist in the matter OF getting these
certificates into shape a committee OF
eight was selected to solicit the hold
ers Of same consisting OF J. F. schoen-
ecke. w. II. Turver. Thos. Davis T..
Bh Daniels. +. j Colthorp. Frank
Englehart. Geo. Allen and f. G..
Ticknor These gentlemen are all pro-
vided with lists of those holding re-
ceiver's certificates and are making
an effort to get them all in escrow
The company also wishes to have
it understood that all agreements are
to be sent direct to the company's Of
fee and not the stockgrowers State
Bank. The receivers certificates and
ACCOMPLISHMENTS are to be placed in
escrow at the bank according to the
instructions sent out from the Office.
And it is urged that these agreements
and relinquishments be promptly sent
in before the segregation is applied
for.
