High Line Canal Controversy.

Palisade.-In an effort to prevent
costly litigation to the people and the
government in the building of the High
Line canal in the Grand valley, Unit
ed States District Attorney Thomas
ward Jr.. has prepared to call con
ference with the various owners of
water rights in the Palisade and
Grand Junction districts, which will
he held either in Denver or Grand
Junction within the near future.
This action was decided upon by Mr.
Ward after receiving notice from
Washington to effect settlement with
the water users, If possible. Over a
week ago Referee Guy Sternberg, who
was appointed to adjudicate the differ
ences between the government and
water owners, decided the Reclama-
tion Service was only entitled to water
rights from the time 1t began actual
work on the High Line, in 1908. The
government contended it's rights dated
back to 1902
This decision failed to give the gov
ernment sufficient water to operate its
canal, and May 8 was the day set for
arguing the matter before District
Judge Shackelford of Grand Junction.
Now it is hoped to offer terms Of set
tlement to the power companies near
Palsade who hold large part of the
Grand river water rights, and secure
sufficient water to permit work to go
forward on the High Line at once.

Turning from a summer like evening

the work OF making the streets pass

ground-before noon on Tuesday the

met again Wednesday afternoon, City

and ascertaining definitely what Mr.

voted to at once take such action as ig

to continue IN business. Mr.. G. E.

from several parties outside the CITY
that they will be willing to purchase

one quarter of the amount can be

This committee has since done vast

which was damaged, ascertaining where
aid was needed either for temporary
relief or in rebuilding the houses, pro-

canvass it was decided to ask the coun-

subscriptions. Help has already beer
