WATER USERS WILL EMPLOY LEGAL COUNSEL

The Boise Water Users association meeting of its
board of directors held time ago decided employ
attorney that the rights of the settlers this
reclamation project properly safeguarded The Trb
believes that the association do this if the set
tiers be protected The interests involved so
great that would be utterly foolish attempt ad
usment of the disputed points the whole controversy
with the Reclamation Service without capable legal
counsel
We would emphasize the point that the settlement OF
the affairs of this project is big Millions of
dollars involved Immediately and directly. The homes
of the settlers indirectly but the less Immediately
involved In fact the prosperity and welfare of this
tire section of the state is at stake The adjudication of
the conflicting claims is going take months of time and
will necesstate the outlay of considerable money. The
settlers prepare their minds for long, and per-
haps expensive fight.
We have idea of how much money will be neces-
sary nor the fee capable lawyer will ask for
making this fight He will demand huge fee and if
the fee is contingent upon the of his undertaking
he is entitled it. AS stands today the settler
estimate the of from $500 to $500
The estimated about $500 per The diff
ference between the estimated years ago and
the estimated today is great that the size of the
the attorneys fee sinks into significance when compared
with the amount involved
The thing for the settlers to do it to get lawyer
commensurate with the size of the fee and
with the size of the undertaking. Cheap lawyers
the poorest investment that be made.
