Serve Injunct-
ion on Raft
River Road.
OHMUCH IMPORTANCE TO
KaCASSIA COUNTY.

NLast Saturday Judge Frank S
Dietrich was asked by the us.
Court to serve an Injunction
Order on the Oregon Short Line
Railroad Company preventing
them from constructing their
70 d across the Reclamation
Project in this County, and in
particular the road running from
Burley up the Raft River Country
The Government contending that
the Railroad Company had no
right to cross the lands stated
without first having filed maps
and certain other data required
by law.
Just what this may mean in the
matter of completing the road
is at present unknown, however
the Short Line Co. has dealt with
the people who have filed on the
land but 1T appears that the
Government views the prOposlt-
ion from an entirely different
standpoint, claiming that it is
their property, having been set
aside by the Government for the
purpose of reclaiming it and that
the work of the engineers plans
have been damaged by the rail
road in putting their line across
it before having the proper right
to do so. The Government asks
for $50, 900 damages and orders
an injunction served.
The people of the County will
no doubt look upon this action
as retarding the growth of the
project and the removing of the
obstacles is earnestly desired
While the retaining of the arid
land is chief amongst Western
people today at the same time it
is also conceded that the rail
roads are an indispensable com.
mon utility IN making the re-
clamation successful.
The people of this county will
watch with interest this action
on the part OF the Government
as in either case the growth OF
the county will be retarded. Nc
one would care to see the rights
of the government infringed upon
in it's work of reclamation yet the
order of injunction may de con
siderable to check railroad build
ing in the County, thing badly
needed.

pose OF electing a water master
tor 1912. John McMurrav was

Smith Secretary. 448 votes were
cast, allowing one vote for every
10 incher OF water, which repre-
sented 448O inches Of water at
the meeting.
John c. De l.aMare was the
only man nominated and elected
unanimously.
AresOlution was also adopted
by the meeting that one man be
selected from each of the five dis
tricts of the valley to work in
connection with the waterm,aster
on matters that may arise rela-
tive to the governing of the
canal system and such other
questions that may be. con-
nected with the work this YEAH
The question of replacing the
headgates that had been removed
-hy- the construction and enlarg
ing of tbs, canals and laterals
was brought before the meeting
and the watermastes stated
that she had already taken the
matter up with the Kuhn inter-
ests and expected something de
Rnite witiaiasa short time.
M. G. Dayl Kuhn representa-
--t4xe was called into the meeting
and Ne stated that he believed
the company would do what
was rightTh the matter but was
unable to state just what it
w6tld be oweing to his work be
ing along other lines and not
having definite information on
that particular point.
The people are desireous that
the canals be put in shape as
early as possible so there will be
no delay when the irrigating
season arrives and it is also un
derstood that the Co., is doing
everything they can to have the
!, canals ready
On account of the canals being
new in most of the old territory
changes will be necessary in
gates etc, and the Adjustment
to the new conditions should be
worked out carefully.
The FIVE committeemen and the
water master working in con
junction with Kuhn represent
representative will no doubt be
able to satisfactorily adjust all
matters arising in the distribut-
ion of water and the installing ot
gates and other new things that
may come up where the people
and the company are concerned.
In making a change of any
kind 1T is necessary that wisdom
and patience be exercised to
bring about the best results in
the new condition of affairs.

CENTRAL KANSAS LEAGUE.
Great Bend 8: Lyons 1.

Great Bend, Kan, June 6.-In spite
of the fact that the Millers threw
away three or our runs they won the
game from Lyons, 3 to 1, and if an ar
gument that Manager Wilson of Lyons
had with the jumps had counted, the
score would have been 3 to 2.
The Lyons team has had the worst
luck of any team in the league. Han
ma is playing a swell game but ought
to be in bed Denny is sick and out
felders are playing infield and pitch
ers the outfield while Manager Wilson
is crippled and out of the game. The
salary limit won't allow a team a
chance to build up under such hard
luck but when the Lyons get to going
they will show any team in the league
a race. The score:
