CITY OFFICIAL PAPE R.
THE HIGH LINE CANAL.

We present our readers this week on
first page the full proceedings of the
meeting of Inter- Mountain Irrigation
Association held in the court room on
Saturday afternoon, ana in doing so.
we feel that we have perfect right to
express our individual opinion of the
proposition made by Mr.. Wells to the
people of the valley, which we can do
in very few words.
We consider the proposition one of
the most liberal offers ever made to
our people, perhaps more liberal than
will ever be made again. in fact, we
doubt very seriously if any corporation
or company other than this one, could
make such an excellent offer, and be
lieving this to be true. we cannot help
councling those who come within the
territory of his canal to accept his offer
It is, a., we consider it, an opportunl-
ty of life time. Your dry land with
out water is worthless, while with wa
ter it worth from $40 to $50 per acre
any day.
There was some objections raised by
a few as to the life limit of the water
contract, % years, but Mr.. Wells says
they will gladly contract for 90 years
to all who so desire. You are not ask
ed to give foot of land, unless you so
desire, you only mortgage one-half or
third of the valuation as the case may
be, you can take up this mortgage any
time at will after five years, haveyour
land absolutely clear and perpetual
right besides.
Study well the offer before you pass
it by. We believe that every man who
passes this offer by will live to regret
it if he only has 10 acres of dry land
that the canal will cover. True, Mr..
Wells and his company expect to be
rewarded for their time and expense.
You cannot expect him to come here
to dig canal that will raise the value
of your land from an insignificant value
TO $40 or $50 per acre without reason
able compensation in return, you would
not do it yourself, neither will anyone
else.
As each and every reader OF TIL
DAwN.well knows. we have urged al
along for the past ten years the build
inc tf hi.h line canal, believing that t
feasible route could be found without
encountering any serious difficulties
and now that our fonde,t hopes and OK
pectations have promise of realiza
ton, we wish you to consider the mat
ter earnestly. cal efully and prayfully
:. far as we are able to discern, there
