the project lands of the constructed
unit of the Boise project, Gin that GER
tain statement and dedication dated
lOct "a, 1919, commonly referred to
as exhibit tx" in the proportion that
the number of acres of project lands
in the district is of the total acreage
of project lands.
(b) A proportionate share of an
additional fifty thousand 100000 acre
feet of Arrowrock storage to be divid-

4. If the New York lands are in
cluded, the United States will furnish
for such lands the supplemental wa
ter rights specified in the contract of
July |, 1918, for twenty-five dollars

S. If the district desires to operate
the canal system, provision to be made
for turning over to the district for op-
Grafton by the district all canals and
irrigation works west of Indian creek,
the main canal to be operated by
joint board of control, representing
all districts and parties that receive
water through the main canal
e. No right of any land owner will
be waived or lost by the organization
of such proposed district and any pro-
fit derived by the United States from
power development at Arrowrock
dam or at the drops in the canal sys-
tenn shall, after the United States has
been reimbursed for its investment, be
divided or credited pro rata to the |
several parties having rights or inter-
ests in said works in proportion to the
respective rights or interests of each.
IT two-thirds of us resident property
owners want the above contract badly |
enough to go to the polls and vote for
T, we can have that instead of our
present contracts; but if we do not
choose to make this change, or any
'ther, although we organize a district,
'ur. present contracts will be in full
orce and effect as they are now.
AS to the overhead charges that Mr..
hagee mentions, of course any work
hat the United States government
loes tor us will be charged to us
we are water users associa-
ion or an irrigation district, and that
right, we want to pay our honest
eots. Mr.. Magee seems to think that
ne government wants to beat us out
II our land, but l fail to see it in that
ght. What benefit would it be to {
ne government to do anything that
'ould work hardship on the settlers I
IN the contrary, I believe the gov |
rnment wants to do the thing that '
nil be best for us, and l believe il T
nil do that if we let it and will help S
Now just another word and I am t
one: | want everyone to know that Q
lr. Magee and l are friends, and that
expect that we are going to remain t
D. In fact, l am satisfied that Mr.. e
lagee has made us a good secretary i
nd would make a good one under an h
rigation district, because he would n
len have much better machinery to i,
ork with. We appear to see things i,
a little different light but that is O
'ying nothing against Mr.. Magee. l II,
ave tried my best to present this mat
r in clear and concise way, but this ii
nds my public discussion of the sub q
