important TO Water Users.

There are few reasons why the meet
ing OF the stockholders OF tho Uncom-
pahgre Valley Water Users association
to be held at Olathe. Colorado on Aug. 10
should be attended by all who can pos
sibly be there.
First. 1t will be the most important
mreting ever held by the association.
Under the laws OF Colorado it requires
two thirds votes Of the total amount OF
stock subscribed to adopt the smend-
ments TO the articles OF incorporation. 90
it is very essential that all stock be rep-
resented either in person or by proxy
In this meeting it is the acreage sub
scribed that will be voted and not simp-
ly 160 acres as in an election for directors.
each acre representing one share Of
stock. As the amount OF stock SUBJ
scribed amounts to 80 600 shares, it will
take 54.667 shares to be voted for tho
amendments and the proposed contract
in order for them to be legally adopted.
Second. The adoption OF thess
amendments and the authorizing OF the
board OF directors to make a contract
with the Secretary OF the Interior will
mean that there will be no delay in COM
mencing work on the project.
In drawing up the contract to be rati-
fed at this meeting the contract OF the
Salt River Valley association was fol-
lowed as closely as practicable aud We
have received letter from F. II. Newell,
chief engineer Of the reclamation SER
vice in which he says in regard to the
contract.
This has been carefully examined and
found 10 be in aform which will. in our
opinion. meet the approval OF the secre
tary Of the interior"
One OF the most important features OF
this meeting is that IL there 10 not stock
enough represented to give two-thirds
vote for the proposed amendments and
contract. another meeting must be called
for the same purpose, and as under the
state Law thirty days notice must be
given, it will mean at least that much
delay.
As we have the contract prepared in
such form as is acceptable to the secre-
tsry OF the interior aud the propossd'
amendments meet with the approval Of
the government officials. We ehould all
make every effort to be present at that
meeting and see that there 10 no delay
