Attend Today's Meeting

Every business man in the city
should take the time necessary to at
tend the water storage mass meeting AT
the court house plaza this afternoon.
for it is highly desirable that every
man of any standing should now
throw the weight OF his influence in
favor of the storage plan which the
government has approved.
The government is waiting to see
what the ranchers of this valley pro-
nose TO do. 1t has been waiting for
several months. 1t will not wait much
longer. Very fortunately, there is no
occasion for any further delay of con-
sequence. The acreage already pledged
has practically carried the proposition
across the dead-line But now is the
time to make the project a rousing
success. Let the work be finished with
a vim that will indicate the earnest
purpose of the community.
AS we pointed out yesterday, the time
is coming within a very few weeks.
anyhow, when there will be wild
rush of ranchers to join the associa-
ton. When they find that the early
construction of the reservoir is a GER
tainty and that under the most favor
able conditions at least $4,000 acres
must do without water. they will be
standing in line at the Office CT the
Water Users association for the pur-
pose of pledging their acreage.
This being a certainty. why not finish
the business at once? We believe that
today's meeting will finally convince
everybody that the plan which the gov
eminent has adopted is the plan-and
the only plan-whereby the reservoir
can be secured Let every friend OF
storage attend the meeting.
We have been informed that the enc
mics of the approved plan are counsel
ing a waiting game-are telling credu-
lous people that "it will probably take
year to wear out the men who are now
in control, and then Wen get things as
we want them" 1t must be shown to-
day that the people of this valley do
not propose to wait another year. or
another month.
