Pile must take front rank. Arid coun-
tries usually have prolific soil and a ia
vorable climate. The point OF weakness.
if any, is apt to be found in the water
supply. The Sunnyside country Is fortu-
nate in that it adds to wonderful water
supply wonderful soil and wonderful
climate.
What is the relation OF the manage
ment of the canal to its patrons? This
can be quickly and easily answered. 1t
is the relation of helpfulness and identity
of interest. The true interest of the pa
iron is the true interest of the company.
At the present time it must be borne in
mind that the property is in the hands OF
receiver; that Is to say, it is in the
hands OF the court. The receiver repre-
sents the court, and in the language OF
the law is said to be the farm of the
court" The court through its receiver
represents all interests. In very i'm
portant sense the property OF an insol-
vent corporation belongs to its creditors,
and in every instance their rights must
be protected. The receiver is not there
fore exactly in the position of an owner
who may do as he pleases. The receiver
may do as he pleases so far as he is le-
gally authorized to do so by the court,
and the court at all times affords a jeal-
GUS protection to the rights OF creditors.
1t is fortunate that in the case OF the
present recevership both the court and
creditors take a broad view, and the gen.
eral good of the Sunnyside country is the
aim recognized by all interests. 1t is
recognized that the best security OF the
creditors is the policy that will best build
up the country, that will soonest bring
the greatest number of energetic and en-
terprising farmers into the Sunnyside.
and assure you that so far as the pres
ent receivership is concerned, that aim
has been and will be kept constantly in
view. Primarily and practically this
means that every man shall have a full
water supply. In the first place he IS
entitled to it, and in the second place it
is the hest policy in the world to afford
it. The crops and farmers in the Sun
nyside must speak for themselves, and
every man must be placed in position
where he can honestly recommend the
country and back up his recommends
tions by the facts as they appear on the
ground. On the other hand patrons
must be careful and conscientious to meet
the conditions which make this showing
possible. Their lands must be properly
graded and the best experience of the
country in farming methods must be uti-
LIKED.
We are seeking common end and 1t
requires the united effort of all to attain
it. / am free to say that l am more

derstandings will arise, but SO far these
Misunderstanding have all arisen
through misapprehensior and the spirit
being right, they have been very easy of
settlement. l assure you this spirit will
be met by corresponding spirit on the
part of the receiver. congratulate you
on the outlook OF the country. It was
never 30 bright as it is now. We are
now advertising the country in a way
that counts. Whenever man comes to
the Sunnyside he can see for himself that
We have all we have ever claimed. When
