CATION all Completed and Work
Progressing on the West-Report
at Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Very little Of Importance has de-
veloped during the past week con-
cerning the Gilmore Irrigation Com
pany and its progress. The work
of surveying has been going on stead
lily and the lower part of the system
is nearly completed. Several new
reservoir sites have been surveyed
in the western part Of the segrega-
tion and what this will develop at
this time is unknown. However. it
is expected that an immense storage
reservoir can be built there ia take
care of much of the water that goes
to waste annually and also give the
flood waters a longer natural course
to the reservoir and a short distance
to the lands to be irrigated This will
have a tendency of saving a large
amount of water that is now going
to waste through seepage and evap-
oration
Final letters are being sent to all
water right holders together with
new agreements. 1t is urged that
these agreements are signed up at
once and placed in escrow in order
that the segregation of all the lands
may be applied for as soon as the
engineers have completed their re-
ports and plats.
The annual stockholders meeting
is called for January 9th, when the
report of the engineers will be read
and finally submitted to the COM
pany. 1t is urged that all those who
will be unable to attend file their
proxies with the secretary before the
date set for the meeting. Otherwise
the proxies viii be of no force or ef-
ect
The manner in which the company
is going ahead with the work is most
encouraging to those interested in
the proposition. Despite every con
ceivable discouragement those be-
hind the company are spending theil
money and proceeding with all work
necessary in the hopes of bringing
the project to an early completion
Every encouragement should be civ
