The indications are that the proposed
big irrigation scheme Of Kittitas county,
of which so much has been written, has
fallen through. Some thirty or forty
thousand dollars have been expended on
this work in the way OF surveys, appro-
priations, dams and rights-of-way and
what the trouble is The HERALD repre-
sentative was unable to learn, but it was
probably due to the report Of Engineer
Anderson, the great Denver irrigation ex-
pert who was called to pass upon the feas-
Utility of the project. A meeting Of the
officers of the company, however, was set
to be held in Ellensburgh sometime this
week and the citizens are hoping that all
obstacles may be overcome.
A we'll known citizen and taxpaye r
thus writes and commends THE HERALD:
81 congratulate you upon the position you
have taken in the matter OF reorganiza-
ton. We have good liberal charter, and,
as you have wisely said, much better
adapted to our peculiar needs and con-
ditions than the general law would give
us as third class city. / hope the
measure will be defeated. AS business
community we are satisfied with our pres
ent charter, and the city is rather small
as vet to provide permanent occupation
for professional politicians"
