pearing Tuesday before the state land
board discussed with members Of that
body a report filed month ago by
G. w. Whiffin, an appraiser, sent
down on the tract TO determine what
lands should be eliminated
L. II Benton, H. NJ. Sims J a.
Vandenback. Otto Young, Albert Est
ling. Robert Range, E. H. Johnson,
and L. Z. Joslin were among the land
owners who attacked the report made
bv Mr.. Whiffen. In the main. all
agreed that the size OF the project
should be cut down, but they wanted
their own farms watered.
The board spent almost the entire
day listening to the entrymen, but
took no action on the report, defer
ing action until today or until a later
date
McKeen f. Morrow of the law firm
of Richards e Haga. Boise, appeared
before the board to protest against
the proposed reduction. He said the
matter of the water supply on the
project was before the court and in
sisted that the state was without iur-
isdiction to reduce arbitrarily the
acreage.
Thomas Sanderson. owner Of the
Berger townsite on the lower end of
tile project, offered no protest against
the action which the board proposes
to take but he wants 80 shares of
water for the 80 acres of land he
owns. NJ Whiffen allotted him 20
shares.
Tears came to the eyes of f. Fl.
Johnson, one of the settlers, when he
pleaded with the board not to elm
mate his farm. He owns so acres OF
land in the project.

life and all of my money retaining
