Dear Parents:-As Ihave not written
home for some time, Thought it now
about time to do so and give you my
impressions of this country and what
is being done here. I think the climate
is the best l have seen in the West.
There is no snow to speak of, and it
has not been below zero yet this winter.

which we paid $500. ~. .,
I was at Sunnyside to. a meeting of q
water users association which was or.
ganized there, and learned that tho
water company is going to, segregate
this land ard put it under the Carey
act-that is, if they can get 80 per
cent. of the old water holders to sign
up to have it carried, and it looks very
much as though they are going to
succeed. The state engineers survey
the system and the state has got to be
satisfied with the system beforeit can be
segregated, and they canionly segregate
as much land as the system will water,
80 it will be a sure thing for water
80 far as they segregate. The company
agrees to charge those holding old water
rights not over $50 per acre, but if the
state makes4t any less they will only
have to pay thelesser amount. Part;es
not holding water rights, however, viii
have to pay as much as the state allows
if they eegregate. The payments are
one-tenth down at the time sof filing
and the balance in nine SsaSaf annual
payments from tie; time TIT water is
turned on. They allow the'oa water:
right holders whatever they paid, but
they must make the one-tenth payment
the same as others at the time Of fling
and the balance in nine payments. T
am sure a. the water il on the land
it will be worth $50 to $500 per acre.
We are not going on the land until we
ind out when we can get water, but
willbusy ourselvesin town ct something
to make expenses until that time.
