SUPREME COURT
MANDATE ONRRICAnON
NEVER SENT DOWN
County Court Can Not Act
Till Ordered.
PROJECT IS ONE IMPORTANT OUESTIOo
People Should Turn Their Attention 10
This Problem and Demand
Action.

The mandate OF the supreme court
In Its decision on the irrigation dis-
trict matters appealed from this
county has never been handed down
for action by the lower court. IL
had been expected the county court
would be IN n position TO take soma
action as early as its July term, but
IL was then delayed, pending tho
arrival OF the mandate. Later IL waa
said by supposedly well informed
parties that the court was waiting
until the arrival OF the attorneys
Interested before taking the matter
up. Yesterday a reporter consulted
Judge Biggs OF the circuit court a.s
TO why this matter had not been
pushed and II was learned tho man
date had never been handed down.
and that the county court could take
no action until the circuit court or
dered Il.
The irrigation project II the ono
important matter before the people OF
OF this valley. and the one that must
have first consideration. II was aug
gested that the matter be rushed
through the supreme court In every
possible manner that II might bs
brought To an issue az soon as prae-
ticable. Why is the delay? Why IN
II that these matters OF such wide
spread interest to the people have To
drag along days and months aud
years with no apparent causey
The people should turn their attcn-
ton to this one big problem and de-
mand action. They should brook no
further delay. The country AZ large
needs this big valley at work produe-
Ing feed for stock and mankind ana
the government itself would be- just
ihed In taking hand In the opening
up Of such a big territory OF produe-
tive land. II could even finance such
n scheme n II would let precedent &c
to the devil aud get a little common
sense mixed into its highfaluting way
OF doing business.
However. II is believed the cause
OF this delay Is closer NJ home and
is fostered by selhsh interests who
are taking the only active part in the
game. II the people would once be-
come aroused to their own best inter
ests and stand together, they would
likely get some action.
