Federal Court Decision Fa
vorable to Irrigation Dis
trict in Scottsbluffs
Territory.
After two yars of litigation in fed
eral' court the Farmers Irrigation
district of Scottsbluffs, defendants in
suits filed for nonpayment of cou
pons on bonds amounting to about
$90,000, won a victory before Fed
eral Jude Woodrough, who ruled
for the district
uit was started by a company of
bondholders, including Harry P(ayne
Whitney, B. C.Donham and Cerate
Soap company, all of New York. The
bondholders claim that the coupons
on bonds should 1ear 6 per cent, but
people living in the district refused
to, pay this rate because they de
clared in 1915 a proposition was made
whereby only 4 per cent would be
charged on the n-.oney. Judge

name for a quarter of a century. It is
now the sole medicinal reliance In
thousands of families.

decree the rate of interest shall be
4 per cent while from January 1,
1918, to date he, he fixed the rate at

000 acres and, according to attor
neys for the plaintiff, the ptople liv
ing therein will save thousands of

ment is to operate the Scottsbluff
district in conjunction with several
other projects in that part of the
state.
