COSSlON
Citizens Should Help the Plan
Along

In another column will be found a
communication from one OF the mem
bers of the old Chamber OF Commerce.
While the communication speaks the
truth, yet there is no reason why Car
son City should not re-Organize this
useful board and see what can be done
to better the conditions in this city.
Everything points toward general
prosperity and while the mood is on,
the people should assist every busi-
ness venture at least by approval.
A few days ago new resident OF
this valley had something to say re-
garding the proposed plans that the
papers OF this city have advanced to-
ward irrigating the valley with water
pumped by electric machinery. This
gentleman has lately acquired proper
ty here and is willing to do his share
| toward any venture that promises gen
eral good TO the community
Among the remarks made, one was
to the effect that the people of this
city had been asleep for many years.
| Nature gave the people about all that
could be asked, and yet in spite of
this fact, hundreds of acres of land
are not cultivated that should be rem
| dering handsome profit to small
| owners. Within half a mile of the
| State capital several Enclosures are
| held that do not bring in dollar of
! revenue to the owners or the people.
The land only needs water to place it
in a position that would make it of
value to the woIlc and also Mt d pre-
fit to the owner.
The gentleman in speaking of this
res that surround tLc valley and very
little is under cultivation. 1t is an ex
ceedingly bad comment on the present
, condition. The people have neglected
: the opportunity and the day is net IA
distant when someone with enterprise
, and few dollars will secure the land:
, and make homes for outside people
who will flourish and all by the aid o
: artificial irrigation.
There can be Glide many instance
where residents of this city nave lef
a trail of money in California wher
they will never get cent back o
!, even interest on the money expended
