<br />- <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />i~ the develo;Jment of the Groen Ri'ver Va:,-ley in Wyoming as in <br /> <br />the development of their ownlands. <br /> <br />I do not speak without some degree of personal authority <br />of the conditions on this stream.

It should be considered, therefore, ns I sug~ested <br /> <br /> <br />some timfl ago. trom the standpoint of a law. In enactine; a law <br /> <br /> <br />or in formulating an agreement upon this subject, if the first <br /> <br /> <br />principles of logic and of sound ousiness judgment .are followed, <br /> <br />you nmst naturally consider the facts. As I have already sug- <br /> <br /> <br />gested, I do not believe that this Commission is in possession <br /> <br /> <br />of such definite and final and accurate knowledge of all of the <br />
