MAY ISSUE CERTIFICATES.


Operation OF the extensive irrigation
system Of the Bitter Root Valley Irri-
CATION company during the coming
season is virtually certain as result
OF an order issued In Butte ycsIerclav
by Federal Judge George NJ. Bourqu'n.
permitting r. c. Webster OF Missoula
to issue receivers certificates to tile
extent Of $4,000.
Judge Bourquin had previously
authorized Judge Webster. as trustee
Of the bankrupt development COMPANY.
to lease lands under the companys
ditch this year, provided sufficient
funds to repair and maintain the irri-
cation system were available. With
100000, it is believed. Judge Webster
can put the big ditch in shape eor
operation this year and maintain II
during the season.
Important to Valley.
Judge BourQuin issued the order ~
the conclusion of a hearing at whis.l,
the rights Of the trustees to incomplete
contracts for the sale OF lands were
argued. He took the contracts matter
under advisement and win probably
announce his verdict within a week.
The order authorizing issuance cf
receivers certificates is of great I'm
portance to the Bitter Root valley and
to the bankrupt company. It means
that the fertile lands under the irriga-
tion system win be cared for az usual:
that all land previously cultivated
may be used this year. and that the
valuable ditch will not be allowed to
deteriorate. n the action had not been
taken. 1t is said, the ditch might have
been ruined by neglect, causing dam.
age to the extent of half million
dollars in the system itself and hard
ship among the farmers dependent
upon the ditch for water.
Certificates Should Serve.
The receivers certificates win be
negotiable at a good price. IL IN
thought, for they must be redeemed
with the first proceeds of any fore
closure sale.
The. hearing before Judge Bourquin
yesterday involved sales contracts
made by the B. II. v. I. company be-
fore II went into bankruptcy, January
4. 1915. following the foreclosure OF q
million dollar mortgage held In trust
by the First Trust and Savings bank
OF Chicago. The contracts had not
been completed. and the land was stlll
held up by the company. The ques-
tion now to be decided Is whether
Judge Webster. as trustee. or the Chi
cago bank Is entitled to the contracts.
