TO the correspondence read to the

Mccoy Asks Pertinent Question.
Representative Mccoy wanted to
know why prices were reduced
when IL was discovered that the
irrigation company was getting bet
ter land than II figured upon.
Why shouldn't the price hayc
heen raised rather than reduced!
Mccoy asked.
Il felt that they couldn't afford
to lay the first price" Hummer

cd: rs there any limit which =

Mccoy then made the statement
that Cooper had written In one Of
the letters that the Hanford peo-
pie. he thought. could afford TO nay
$40 an acre for practically all the
iaad.
Plummer replied that he had
written that to Cooper early In the
negotiations.
Hanford's Letters.
Shortly before the committee
took its noon recess today Plummer
read two letters written by Judge
Hanford on the official paper Of
the United States district court. In
which the subject of the release Of
the lands by the reclamation SER
vice was discussed. These were
written in March. 1908.
In another letter from Plummer
10 Cooper, dated April 2, 1908.
Plummer wrote that the Hanford
Irrigation Co. sold much OF fs land
at high prices, hut on long time,
that II was a good proposition; that
the Hanford people wanted TO buy
more acreage than they had at that
time: that he recommended IL: that
while they did not have much
money Just then, they would have
had all they wanted had not the
money panic come on.
Representative Higgins wanted
10 know why Cooper referred to
Judge H9pford's offer" In letter
20 Plummer. instead of to the Han
ford Irrigation Co. Plummer re-
piled he could not answer. Asked
by Higgins II he knew whether
Judge Hanford took the matter up
with other officials than himself
and Cooper. Plummer said he
did not think so. Higgins then re
marked. "Of course, you do not
have any real information about
that"
Cuts Company's Taxes.
When Plummer got off the stand
at the noon recess today, the corr
mittee read into it's record the
transcript OF the case OF the
