1t was asserted by the plaintiff.
Masters. that the reclamation officials
Lad established a camp near his land
end had placed a force OF men at work
upon his property excavating for the
ditch and that it was proving very in
furious to his property. The Reclama-
tion Service took the ground that all
patents which had been issued by the
government since 1900 contained a
clause which reserved right OF way
through the land for ditch purposes.
and that the government had a right
under that provision to enter Oh his
or any ether lands.
Judge Shackleford made the injunc-
ton permanent and held that the res
eryation in the patent was too indef-
mite to be of any purpose and that
the only way the government could
construct a ditch through the land
would be by due process OF law. Thus
work by the government on the West
canal must be stopped. The canal is
the uncompleted portion OF the I'm
compahgre Valley project and was to
cost $40, 900. The result may be that
the project will be tied up for many
months The case will probably go to
the Supreme Court OF the United
States.
The question affects every reclama-
ton project IN the West.

SOssIatY News

Miss Amelia Tucker. our raining sos
siety queen of the Bingville soshial
whirl. has went and had Phoebe Hid
er brand. our fashionable robes ct
nlantoze maker, make her what Amelia
calls q hobble skirt which Amelia wore
to church last Sunday for the lst time
and it caused a good cal of consterna-
ton & surprise. It fits Amelia turrible
tite down around the lower limbs so
that she cant take steps moren inches
long, and she had to leave home at 9
a. m in order to be at church at 10
which is only quarter of mile dis
tant from her house. Lem Brown and
Deacon Andrews who was on their way
to church overtuk Amelia and took pity
on her and offerd to carry her to
church, but Amelia got mad and told
them to tend to their own bizness and
she would do the same LATER
Jest az we go to press we understand on
reliable authority that when Amelia
went to step up on the choir platform
she went and split her hobbIe skirt
from the bottom hem clean up to her
knee On the right side and that she will
now make the skirt over into what she
calls a flarem skirt which is open on the
side. No doubt when Amelia wears
her harem skirt on the st. after this
she will attrackt a good cal OF atten-
shion--especially on the right side.
Miss Phoebe Hilderbrand, our fash
ionable dressmaker & one Of BingviIle's
400 Gas we might say) held a mtg. at
her home last Thursday evg. which
was attended by several BingvilIe ladies.
1t was supposed to be seckret mtg.
but all the wives who was there told
their husbands all about It and now
the news is all over town. Phoebe Is
trying to git up what she calls Win
mems Suffrage Club" for Bingville.
This club is composed of winnlen who
will demand their rights to vote Jest
like men do at eleckshions. In our
opinion Phoebe better give her time &
talent to her dressmal1in and not try
to agitste wimmens suffrage which is
very unpopular in Bingyille espeshialIy
among the men folks.
