OVER 200 ENTRYMEN JOIN
IN REQUEST TO LAND BOARD
Large Acreage Represented In Petit
ton to State Land Board to Annul
COmpany's Contract.

There were 223 names on the petit
tion sent to the Land Board by the
entrymen on the Salmon river project
requesting the state to bring action to
annul the contract with the company
for the reason that the company had
failed to provide for the reclamation
of the lands as provided by the con-
tract.
The petition was forwarded to Gov
Alexander by w. F. Mikesell, vice
president of the settlers association,
who acted as chairman of the meet
ing at Hollister. In sending the peti-
tiOn to the governor, Mr. Mikesell
called attention to the fact that but
one man had been reported as refus-
ing to sign the petition, that man be-
ing an employee of the canal COM
pany who believed his signature to
the petition would mean the loss of
his position. Some of the settlers on
the tract could not be reached in time,
as it was thought necessary to get
the petition to the Land Board at the
earliest possible moment
The names of the settlers signing
the petition, together with the acreage
owned by those signing, follows:
