14:14, 'If man die, shall he live
again" Rev. Draper in carefully Sc
lected language and with expressive
utterance, showed that belief in the
Immortality of the soul was world
wide, that even the pagan believed IN
a future life. He also quoted extern

his point. His sermon was closely fol-
lowed.
Special music was furnished by a
choir composed of Misses Nina Randle,
Anna Fagg, Grace Pryor, and Mrs.

ONLY BY UNITY OF ACTION MAY SUCCESS Be GAINED
Division of the Proposed Drainage District Into Small Tracts
Would Result in Many Evils and the Certainty
of Ultimate Failure
rom The AlnnoSa Courier.

From The Ainmosa Courier.
To drain the alkali and seep-
age land of the valley and not
provide the extra water then
needed for irrigation would be
to only half finish the job of re-
clamation. 1t would be equally
as foolish as to build the walls of
a house and not put a roof on. No
matter i it does cost more mon
ey to provide irrigation water by
means of storage reservoirs at the
same time you provide drain
age. it will be worth more money
to you and worth more than it
costs. If you had your land
drained and did not have the nee
cssary water with which to wash
out the alkali and properly irri-
gate the ground, you would still
have unproductive land. To do
Inc job OF drainage and supply
water for irrigation by piece
meal will cost vastly more money
than it will to do it all at once.
1t will take a much longer time
and any amount more pickering
and dickering and planning than
it will to simply put your land in
to an irrigation district, issue the
bonds of the district and have
it all done at once by the dis
trict.
Ii you adopt little private sys-
TENS of drainage, or form small
drainage districts, the full value
of the seepage water can never
be realized by you. While on
the other hand, if the district is
large enough to allow the seep-
age water to be used over seve-
raj times, you are benefited each
time that water is used on any
of the land of the district to
which you belong.
Under any system of private
