■would be practically depopulat'd be
fore the high water period of this
spring unless immediate steps were
taken to rend r the. daim safe through
the construction of an adequate spill
way. He added that this spill way
should have been built last fall at
the time Governcft- Brady assur d the
people of Mackay that it would be
done If the board had to divert mon
ey from the Carey act fund to bring
it about.
"Lo6s of Confidence No. 3,'' was
the designation applied by the wit
ness to the governor's' alleged fail
ure to live up to the promise. He
admlttted however, that if it could
be shown that Governor Brady did
everything he could in the mattter of
looking aft r the interests of the
settlers, he for one would not crit
icise him.
Chase A. Clark, attorney at Mac
kay for the Big Lost River Land &
Irrigation company, stood out for his
privil-ge as attorney and declined to
answer such questions as he felt in
terfered with his connection. He ad
mitted being on the dam site during
the spring of 1910 and being a little
uneasy with what he saw during the
high water period.
River Bed Leake Badly.
J. H. Green and C. V. Hanson of
Mackay gave their opinions of the
condition of the works and A. J.
Plummer of Lincoln, Neb. told of be
ing compell d to camp all summer in
the hills because of the failure of the
company to deliver the water. He de
clared that the river bed leaked bad
ly and stated that in his 1 opinion
this was just as important as the
condition of the dam.
During tthe proceedings a telegram
■was r ceived from the Chicago Title
& Trust company offering to take ov
er and complete the work on the
project if an amicable understanding
could be reached with the firm of
Corey Brothers, the present contrac
tors.
Tuesday ev ning was fixed as the
