ASK FOR DAMAGES
Would Have Stale Pay for
Crops Lost by Breaking
of Piute Dam.

The Jewish colony located on tho
states Pluto Irrigation project yester-
day put in a claim TO the state land
board for damages suffered By reason OF

not yet been fixed and representatives
OF the colonization company will meet
with tho land board within the next day
or two TO 70 over in detail the losses
that were suffered by the individual
colonists.
A year ago tho colonsts purchased
5000 acres OF land from the state under
bored holes through the dam and the
water widening the breach swept away
portion OF the dam and ran out upon
tho lands OF the settlers Before the
breach could be repaired and water
again irnpounded portion OF the crops
were burned by the sun, there being
no water for irrigation.
Governor SDry met with the land board
yesterday to go over the damage claim.
II Is understood that the board will be
willing 10 pay reasonable damages
rather than TO have the settlers hAnol-
capped by reason OF the unavoidable ac-
cident.

port viii be made by President w, ID.

CATION and will be gone over by the land
board and forest officials together.

OF land In the forest reserves at pres
cnt a large part of Its provious hold
lngs of this sort having been exchanged
for agricultural lands. Whether the
small remaining area Is worth segregat-
ing will he determined today.
Testimony was taken by the board yes-
tcrday from several claimants for dam
ages suffered from the Plute dam break
other than the Jewish colonists and VIII
