MR.. MCCLELLAN REPLIES


Editor Independent,
Dear Sir: PLEASE pardon my
taxing up your time again so soon,
but an effusion by the Free Press
in the Feb. 26th issue, is my K
cuse.
In his editorial of that date, he
admits that the Greater Humboldt
Corporation has the proper solution
of the water question in the valley,
for which we are duly thankful;
but in the succeeding paragraphs
shows such gross ignorance Of the
Carey Act and its working that l
just had to set back and say cob
HIP, when read it.
To illustrate Suppose A is a
contracting carpentar, and oateys
into an agreement with B to con-
struct a building for him, furnish
ing all the material. and to be paid
by B IN certain terms and condi-
tions.
Now, suppose some idiot should
come along and rell B. that after
he has paid A for the building, it
belongs to A and that he, B, will
have to pay A rent for the build
ing forever. How much cadence
would be paid to that idiots state
ment.
The Greater Humboldt CO. pora-
tion is a cont acting company
and nothing else. 1t is to enter
into al agreement with the State
of Nevada to construct certain ir-
rigation works, and is 60 be paid
for such works in a manner pro-
vided for by the United States in
the Carey act.
And when those works are paid
for the Greater Humboldt Corpora
tion MUST turn the works and ev-
everything connected with them to
the payees:-who are the water
users,- and the Greater HUMBOLDT
Corporation goes out of existence.
The water rights granted the Com
pany are turned over to the people
with the works for their con-
~scrvation aud use according to law.
The Big Bend Reservoir, con-
structed by the acknowledgements
irrigation, Light and Power com
pany, is the kind Of a project the
Editor Of the Free Press is railing
against. That Company, after
having secured the right for stor-
age Of q certain amount of water,
has the monopoly of that amount,
and can charge rental for it for
ever, and is to continue in exist
ence; but the Greater Humboldt
Corporation goes out of existence
when it has completed the works
that it has been organized to on
strut.
Respectfully yours,
E. E., Mcclellan,
President.
