cause our reservoirs are not reservoirs
until they will hold water is the reason
we are opposed TO an additional burden
on our water supply. and we propose to
oppose any such movement until these
defects are remedied.
Before making our objections to the
State Land Board We told Mr.. MacWat-
tiers that ii he would sign q statement
saying that they had plenty OF water for
this l4,OO0 acnes without putting an ad-
ditional burden on our present supply,
We would withdraw our objection and
would be glad to see this land in cultiva-
ton. This he absolutely refused to do,
and at the meeting OF the Land Board,
Attorney Hayes told the Board that they
did not intend to sign a statement that
the settlers could sue the company on,
admitting that they could not deliver the
goods and would be in for law suit
should they sign any such statement.
Toward the last OF the article in the
News, the writer tries to paint flowery
picture OF the Benefits to be derived from
a land opening here, brought about by
the sale of this land, and will agree
that it no doubt would be a big boon for
our real estate men. but will some one
please tell us how it will keep water in
our bitches during the month of August
when we need it most?
In closing wish to say Ito the writer
OF the article that although he may keep
on knocking, and may, with several
other citizens, be instrumental in secur-
ing a lot OF false figures from the Land
& Water Co. regarding the settlements
between the company and our members
last spring, and, by causing them to be
read publicly, try to create the impress
sion that the officers OF our association
received larger damage claims in proper
ton to their loss of crops than other
members received, perhaps it will be
harder 10 create an internal eruption in
our association than he might think.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE MAN
Diversified Farming Is Greater and
More Urgent Proposition Than
Ever Before in History.

The entertaining stories that are
published from day to day about per-
sons who have accomplished aston

er part of the country do not al
ways serve a good purpose.
1t depends mainly on the man him.
self whether he is going to prosper
anywhere or not. The many alluring
things that are published to attract
farmers are designed first of all to sell
the land. They are not issued from
philanthropic motives, and the indl'
vidual will always find that success
depends on his own efforts and intel
ligence, no matter what his environ
