 And whereas, large portion Of the agricultural lands of Yuma county bordering on the Cobra do river have been included i'll a district proposed to bereclaimed under the terms of the so-called reclamation act of June 17, 1902, together with other bodies of land situated in San Diego cOun ty, Cal, comprising, all told, ap- proximately, SS,000 acres, and being kuown as the Yuma pro- iect;
 And whereas, an association of land owners and settlers on the public lands within this iIri- gation district have incorporated nnder the name of the Yuma County Water Users Association, the object of said association be- ing to cooperate with the secre tary of the interior in perfecting arrangements whereby the gov ernment shall be satisfied that all the requirements of the re- elamation act shall have been complied with,
