MCCLURE DECLINES.

u The irrigation district has received from State En-
ginee Mcclure polite decnation of appointment to the
board of engineers based the ground that ne cannot
spare the time from his other duties.
The refusal the managers Of the district IN
their political schemes is surprising, and it remains
TO be seen whether Messrs G1nsky and Anderson will
take the same position.
The overwhelming sentiment of the people OF the
valley is that the msmanagers of the district must be
compelled to let go their hold but the enacity OF their
e1p on their Jobs is just what might be expected if they
thought there was fortune in sight for them.
1t seems incredible that Messrs Grunsky and An
derson will join them in effort defeat the popular
will.
