but did not have his shooting eye.
The high school presented a shifted

Captain Lundquist, Kleve, and Chris

In these words Franklin X. Lane,
secretary of the interior, has returned
the contract between the government
and the Imperial Irrigation District
providing for the Lagun Dam connec-
ton with refusal to approve or
sign the document.
This action was brought about by
a letter sent early in the month out
lining the Valleys side of the case
and definitely stating that the DIS
trict felt that it was forced to sign
the contract under duress. The secre-
tary's letter follows:
II am in receipt of letter signed
bv yourself, the secretary OF the dls-
trict. and the directors of the dis
trict, transmitting original and dpull-
cate copy of contract for connection
with the Lagtna Dam, executed by
the Imperial Irrigation District. Your
letter undertakes to recite in part the
history of the negotiations with this
the contentious made by
the District, particularly with refer
ence to water rights and power de-
velopment, and on Page 4 states:
notwithstanding our firm convic-
ton in the justice of our position as
herein stated, we are compelled by !
force of circumstances to accept the |
contract in the form dictated by you,
"On Page 6, after quoting letters |
written you by the acting secretary |
of war and myself with reference to
temporary structure in the Colorado /
river at Hanlon's Heading, you con- !

of the position taken by your depart

"The matters discussed in your said
letter were fully presented to this
department both orally and in writ

and were given thorough considera-

the district does not care to enter

to refrain from so doing, and this de-
partment is not and will not be placed
in the position of coercing it.
81 have used my good offices for
years to secure from the Yuma peo-
pie a proposition that was as liberal
as possible and at the end they came
to one that was reasonable and per-
haps more. The fact is that the pro-
posed contract is exceedingly liberal
to your district. l am advised that
an independent connection with the
river of similar character and value
to the Laguna Dam connection would
probably cost you about three times
as much as you agree TO pay under
this contract. At any rate, when the |

about that adjustment that would
surely make for the welfare of both
sides of the river.
