THE CARLSBAD PROJECT.
BondhoIders of Irrigation Company
Agree to the Government
Proposition.

From Carlsbad Argus.
Joy reigns supreme in the ranks Of
Lower Pecos Valley citizens. Nothing
remains to bar the progress of gov
ernment control of irrigation in the
Lower Pecos Valley but the approval
by the Interior Department of the
report submitted by the government
engineers as to the Carlsbad prof
ect," and it is confidently expected
that definite answer will be had
from the Intcr.cr Department by Oc-
tober 1st, and that work will begin
on the diverting dam at Avalon by
the first of November.
w. A Finlay, president of the Pc
cos Water Users Association, re-
ceived the news Tuesday that every
doubt as to whether the Pecos Irri-
cation Company bond-holders would
accept the proposition made them for
their property by the government had
been removed, every bond-holder ha-
wing signified his or her willingness
to accept The glad fact was made
known by the following telegram:

owner in the lower valley has refus-

which is condition of affairs un-
heard of in the history of the recla-
nation service, as there has always
been some one who would not agree
with the majority Of land owners in
every other project undertaken. But
every land owner under the Carlsbad
project has consented; even those
who have spent hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars in trying to redeem
the desert country have signified their
intention of consenting to the condi-
tions of the government, and placing
their lands in the water users asso-
citation.
No one bondholder of the company
has more at stake than has Mrs. R.
W. Tansill, who with the Swiss. peo-
pie, owns a large majority of the
bonds of the company. She was the
first to consent to the transfer of the
property to the government, and her
example perhaps lea others to,sdo the
same. 20
