Dear Sir:-I don't know that a com

Interesting, but no doubt we who are
new to the country notice some things
that do not occur to those who have
lived here many years Among the
things that impressed and in some de
gree discouraged me, is the pessimis-
tic and discouraging spirit which 1
have found among many old timers
in this city, who by the way, seem to
be doing pretty well themselves. 1
came here from Colorado some weeks
ago, attracted by the many favorable
reports of your country and especially
by your Hondo Reservoir project I
have taken my time to examine differ
ent methods of irrigation offered in
this Valley and being fairly well
taught by experience concerning irri-
cation matters, and realizing both the
favorable and unfavorable conditions
attaching to different methods, 1 ma
tural1y feel prepared to back my own
judgment. l contracted for a tract
of Hondo Reservoir land and believe
that it is in every respect the best ir-
rigation proposition not only in this
Valley but in any of the states and
territories in the West with which 1
am acquainted. 1 have done this alb
solutely in spite of pessimistic OBJ
servations and insinuations of many
of your business men who, take it,
are depending on the growth of this
City for their own prosperity. If my
own observations and past experience
had not satisfied me this influence
would have caused me to locate else

have found the business men of Carls
bad to be active for the Carlsbad irri-
gation project. The people of Lake

are not making any discouraging sug-
gestions about flowing wells. Then
why do you Roswell people lay down
on the Hondo project, which 1 am sat

gineers are satisfied, is the best in the
Valley and which will turn all of its
benefits and profits into the business
channels of your city? I am,
