(The Process of the Solution of the
 Irrigation Problem)

Irrigation Problem)
 They's some hope now at tn Sa;t l River Value will git a Eesevoy. Tli' Tacks Payers an tn Errigaters is so!n' about now in tn Rite way. Thcys Gittin' Reddy to begin at tn begin min. In some places when th' Fui>ea warts q thing done they go Ahed an do ii. but that ain't tn way with tn Foxes of tn Salt River Value. Before they Tackles a big Enterprise like Ih' bildin' of q Resevoy or U Scool house or tn Openin of I public Rode tLey give it a let of Prairie Thot an when they git through thinkin' q generGshun or so their Descendants II think an then some Rash an Reckless outsiders II come in an begin work in Ernest without doiH' any Thinkin' wotever.
 Tn People of tn Salt River Value has been triein' to solve what they call tn Wotter Problem with Prair ar Discushion fer q good rlenny yeers. As soon as all tn Tacks payers an Errigaters git to be Unanimous they'll be q ResevOy. but as long as they is d Dissentin Voice they won't be none. It looks now as if they won't be no Dissentin' Voices when all tn pitStlli FIT TlSdttlS III AdTlCoDg county is Ded an Bcrried. Gawd hasten th' day when they can all be Harmonyus.
 They ain't mcnuy points at they're 3iferin on now, so tn Resevoy looks hopene. Some of tin Errigators sez they don't want no Resevoy and some sez they do. It looks as if they ot to settle that simple Diffrunce Easy. Otherns sez, We want it bad, but we want it by q Thirds vote They sez that'll make tn Damn stronger n if it would be if it was bilt only with d Near majority, an it won't be so lible to Bust an make anuther Johnson Flud. Tn otherns sez If it's bilt with 2 Thirds vote it wont fill up with Silt so quick an still otherns sez if we Depen' only on a majority they won't never be eHuff Flud WOtterS to fill it. Most of tn Fokes Twin On tn South East Side of tn River sez they is so anXshus fer a Resevoy at they can't Sleep Mites an they'll never have no Appetite no more till they git it. But they sez. We want a ; Thirds vote on tne Resevoy.
 Whats that fer?" sez tn fellers ats Scrappin' fer Q Majority. If you want a Resevoy why don't you go in fer q Majority? It's Easier to git an ? Thirds vote is.''
 Yes. we know that" sez tn South East SideTs; its too easy; that's tn Trubble. You see we're Afeared at We might be Kong. We want tn ? Thirds vote to ReStrane us in our Frantic Desire to Bild Resevoy. If we git beet We won't be disapinted. but we'll Regard tn Thirds vote as tn han of Providunce which whom it Luveth it Chaseth.''
 1 If theys d Resevoy it'll haf to be | Run by a Syndicate of five Wotter Storidge Commissioners. Some of tn 1 Tackspayers wants tn Comisshuners apinted by tn Govner an tn Coart an the Supervisors. sos at they kin l keep tn Resevoy out of Poiitix. Tn 1 Cthern Sez, 70, that wont never do; they's goin' to be q good deal of Nun ny to be Han'Ied an to tn Victers be- longs tn Spiles. We think tn Re5evoy | d have Tenancy to Purify tn Pol itix of tn Salt River Value. It'll csr- tainly do it if they is any Nirchue in Waiter"
 Tn Abuv disputes an only about a dozen othcrrs is about all tn Diffrunces they is among tn Tackspayers am Err rigatcrs of th' Salt River Value an tn C&mpane of Eddycashun is goin' Ciloryously on in Full Blast. What they don't find out about Storidge Res cvoy5 tn rest of their Nacherl lives won't be worth triein' to Learn. Ii some Committees 'd' a had three Yeers Of q Witherin' Drouth they'd a Thot that was a Eddycashun in Errgashun an Wuddent a wanted to kno enny mere. Tn People of tn Salt River Value is Diffrunt. They ain't Satis- iide with q Superfishle Eddycashur They want to git at what is called tn UnGerlyiu' CT Bottom Fax. They'r, goin' to be shure they're Rite an then they'll go Ahcd-to Glory or Despair.
