A Word of Explanation
BY the Republican Committeeman

We have been asked by a number
of Republicans and citizens to
make an explanation of the appoint
ment of postmaster for the Oakley
Post Office. 1t has been the custom
that the Postmaster be of the same
political faith as the party in pow
er. In order to conform with for
mer usage, the committee under
signed, acting for the Republican
party, as it's representatives, endors-
ed Mr.. j. Y Haight to act as post
master to fill the vacancy caused b.
the resignation of Mr. De La Mare.
Mr.. Haight acted as postmaster I'M
der this appointment till an exami-
fore the committee the two success
full, available candidates, Mr.. j. Y.
Haight and Mr.. Geo. H. Severe
These two men are both gentlemen
of the highest type. staunch Repub-
licans, equally qualified. The com
mittee had to decide between these
two as to who was entitled to the
office.
We felt there was but one honor
able way to settle this matter, and
we believe every right thinking man
and woman will say, that we settled
it the right way.
We advised Mr.. Haight and Mr..
Severe to draw lots. They both
agreed to this ind to abide by the
results. Mr.. Severe was the loser,
consequently Mr.. Haight received
our endorsement.

Oakley Project Settlement Plan
Being Put Into Operation

The long liked of settlement be-
tween the land and water owners
and the bondholders of the Oakley
project is now in process of being
consummated.
The petition to the County Com
missioners for the formation of the
irrigation district is in Oakley and
being signed up by the necessary
number of land owners. 1t will
probably be in the hands of the
County Commissioners before Aug
ust 1, 1923.
The new mortgages which take
the place of the water contracts are
being executed and by the time the
election for the formation of the
district is called, practically all
mortgages should be finished. The
success of the settlement plan de-
ponds entirely upon the formation
of the district and the rapidity with
which the new mortgages are
executed.
The completion of the settlement
of Oakley controversies will mark
the beginning of the period when
the Oakley project will come into its
own and will, without doubt, be a
great factor in increasing land
values in Oakley lands.
