| ]. Stewart Clark was over from Buhl
Monday and stated that the working nui
of the R. R. connecting the north and
south side was progressing very satisiac-
torily, and that every indication pointed
to the early construction of this road.
Should this be built in connection with
the Hagerman Valley and Wendell R. R
it would be a splendid thing for thi.
community, and as the matter is studied
it seems that it is the most promising
route at this time as the grade can be
built so that at no place will there b,
more than one per cent grade and tie
curvatures very light. The Wendell
people and all the surrounding country
should give to this effort every assistanc,
possible.
There seems to be an effort upon
the part of the Land and Water Co
to refuse to allow settlers to Obtain
water even for domestic purpose,
until the settler has made up al
payments on maintenance to date
and if so this is going to work (
very great hardship upon many o
the settlers who are unable to max,
this payment and may force many
of them to give up the operation o
their farms. Already we hav,
heard several say that they canno
do thing and will have to lie
what they have done die as the,
cannot raise the money to max
these payments. This certainly i
a very bad move upon the part of tn
t company as they sure will not b
able to collect either payment o
interest from these settlers unles
they are permitted to produce
upon their holdings, and we ar
, certainly sure that they will not b
able to resell this land to new set
! tiers with such treatment to the Of,
settlers as this. We hope that thi
matter may be adjusted in som
manner so that the settler can g
ahead with developments and thu
be able to realize for work alread
done.
