Act Scheme Endorsed.
Last Monday afternoon the Elmore
Irrigation Company held meeting
in the Six Thousand Club rooms for
the purpose of selecting seven of
its members to be recommended to
the regular annual meeting at Seat
tie on next Monday afternoon. This
peeting was made necessary owing
to the fact that the one held in AIN
uary was declared illegal and the di-
rectors elected at that time not quail
fled to act.
The meeting was largely attend
ed by water users and the general
feeling of confidence in the success
Of the Carey Act scheme for Noun
tain Home was made manifest in no
uncertain language. The effofts on
the part of a certain newspaper In
this vicinity to knock the scheme was
protested and resolution passed as
follows
RESOLVED, That the Carey Act
plan. in our opinion, presents the best
and quickest method Of getting water
for the irrigation OF our lands.
RESOLVED, That we believe 1t
for the best interests Of all water
right holders in this vicinity, that
the claims Of Henry Hewitt, Jr., and
ohers holding liens on the property
Of the Great Western Beet Sugar
Company be amicably settled and
compromised to the end that there
may be no further litigation and in
definite tying up Of said property
BE 1T RESOLVED. BY the stock
holders Of the Elmore Irrigation
Company, that the attack made on
said company by the New Time
newspaper is unwarranted and with
out merit, and as the only result OF
said attack will be to delay the rec
lamation and irrigation Of the lands
in the vicinity of Mountain Home,
we look upon said attack as direct
menace to the farmers and water
right holders, and we therefore de-
nounce the same. and pledge oursel-
YES to support and maintain said FL
more Irrigation Company in its ef-
forts to better the conditions in this
community.
And. BE 1T FURTHER RESOLV-
ED. That all attempts to discourage
or hamper the efforts Of the Elmore
Irrigation Company in successfully
carrying out the irrigation Of the
lands about Mountain Home under
the Carey Act. by any person or per
sons. is condemned and such person
; is declared foe to progress, and
dangerous to the best interests Of
Mountain Home and its citizens.
