A number of Indian alotments situated
in the Okanogan valley We're listed for
sale on the 10Th of this month, and not
withstanding the fact that some of
land is very desirable, coming under the
ditch there was not IA single bid or salc
made. The explanation is easy. The Indian
agent, listing the land put higher pric
on it than similar land in the valley
40, he
prices for fruit or any other kind OF
ut this time, and it really looks as tho
the agent did not really want the lands
sold or they would have been listed at
much lower figure.
Arthur d. Jones, of Spokane, who owns
a large tract of land on the west side OF
the Similkameen river, IA lmost adjoining
the town, has served an injunction upon
trct from building a ditch or flume across
his land. This action of Mr.. Jones is be-
yond all understanding, and for one, we
believe taht he is acting without full
knowledge of the conditions. We have
known Mr. Jones ever since he fest ar.
rived in Spokane. and that is good
many years ago. He has always stood as
a square, honest, progressive citizen.
When he was here a short time ago he
was perfectly satisfied with the, construc-
ton of the ditch across his land, an' eX-
pressed the belief that it would be the
making of the country. Without wate,,
we would not own this land as GIT. Mr..
Jones will be Il large beneficiary by the
building of the ditch, because it will give
that land large value. Why he should
take the present action is beyond compre-
tension. especially as the ditch IS already
completed across his land and any inJunc-
ton is only going to delay Temporarily, a
great work that is going to make val luable
a large acreage and hasten the populating
and development of the country, Knowing
Mr.. Jones as we do unless his disposition
and nature has undergone a great change
i'm the past few years, we feel that ne Is
acting in this matter without fun under
standing of the situation.
