WHENEVER feasible offer is made
to the people of this valley to secure an
irrigation canal, they: had better accept
it. Time is flying and soon all the wa
ter will have been appropriated and
this beautiful valley left high and dry.
Don't expect any person or corpora
ton to come in and build canal with
olt asking something in consideration
a. a guarantee that given amount OF
water will be bought and paid for each
wear and liberal pay for perpetual
water right. A canal to cover this val
lev will of itself cost fortune, and will
for some years cost snug sum to keep
it in repair. This is not a day when
people do things for nothing. Every
one wants all he can get out OF anything
he undertakes. 1t is but nature. No
one is to blame. Don't expect too
much for nothing. If you do, you will
he fooled. The man that off,rs you the
Golden egg and the goose that laid 1t,
all for song, and sing that song him
self. will steal both the egg and the
goose and rob you blind If you accept
his offer. Wisdom says be liberal,
don't ask too much and expect to get it,
without first paying for it. A canal
will cost money and the users OF the
water will have to pay for it, but they
will get the worth of their money and
more too in return. The time is now at
hand to think this matter over very
seriously. The prosperity of Ellens-
burg and Kittitas valley are so inseper-
ablv allied, that what effects one, eff
fects the other also. If one prospers.
the other shares in it and vice versa
The Club has appointed committee on
irrigation: it is made upOf land owners;
Il wishes to confer with you; it has q

praverfully and with that dellberatlon
to know no seltishness or personal am
bition further than the greatest good
