Isn't 1t about time the G.. A. II. was
talking up its annual bean bake at this
placer Heretofore, few days before
the election, there has been bean

ing water-works bonds, and reasonable
people admit it. Leaving aside, en-
tirely, the question of the ditch being a
permanency, We bslieye that it would

water being run through it regularly
until after the winter freezing.
