Bliss Townsite Troubles Near Settlement Out of Court
A Bliss letter reports townsite contentions near settlement without further appeal. Litigation has burdened much of the property for years, with plans for rapid progress once real estate lines are firm. The Skillern hotel will transfer to Morris Roberts Co for 2190, with arbitrators J H Collins F M Wick and Theodore Painter. The Oregon Short Line suit for 20 acres, won in the lower court, likely will not be appealed. An agreement with Governor Goodling rents old Hardware building for a year as a jute bag factory and power is guaranteed. Heavy rains have rejuvenated the region, with green fields and good pasture on newly irrigated plains. The Idaho Irrigation Co builds an auto garage on Main Street by J G White Co warehouse.
