terms for the railway which is a
heavy litigant in his court, was

/ ern Washington to the irrigation
i company. In one of his letters,
/ according to the testimony OF
George H. Plummer, western
sales agent of the road, Hanford
urged the sale of those Iands,
aside from other reasons, that 1t
would accommodate him."
Other letters read by Plummer
| showed that at various times
Judge Hanford made propositions
to the company on this subject,
as to extensions on payments and
modifying the terms, which were
Invariably accepted by the rail-
way officials.
e. w. Ross, state land COM
missioner, will also be called to
testify concerning the Hanford
Irrigation company activities
which resulted in its acquiring
+, $1,000 acres of state school lands.
1t Is charged that the sale had
been advertised In such obscure
ways that the Hanford people
alone were on the inside"
