Irrigation Fraud Sparks Demand to Return Settlers’ Funds
Settlers in western Crook county accuse the Columbia Southern Irrigating company of deception and seek to halt its operations. Attorney General Crawford may cancel the state contract on a major private project after about 150000 dollars collected from buyers, many of whom invested in property elsewhere. The project spans 27000 acres with 2000 acres sold at about 410 per acre, amid claims the current system cannot provide enough water to reclaim the land. W A Laidlaw is majority stockholder. Robert W Wilson is president. James W Baln is secretary.
