NOTICE TO LAND OWNERS IN
THE PIONEER IRRIGATION
DISTRICT.

The officers OF the Pioneer Irriga-
ton District desire to call the atten-
ton OF those land owners within said
district who have signed contracts
with the Payette-Boise Water Users
Association, to the changed condi-
tons now existing from those exist
ing at the time said contracts were
signed
AT that time it was estimated that
the government water would be de-
liyered TO the lands for about $500
per acre; but conditions have changed
with regard to the amount OF water
available for the lands of the district.
which does away, to some extent. with
the necessity for the additional water
supply provided for by these con-
tracts. Under present conditions.
from the best information that the Of
fieers OF the district can obtain, in
stead OF the cost of the government
water being $500, it will probably be
double that amount per acre.
Petitions are now being circulated
Tor the purpose OF having the lands
within the district released from the
contracts made with the Payette-
Boise Water Users Association. All
those desiring to sign said petition
VIII ind same at the office of the
board OF directors of the Pioneer r.
rigation district, or with any of the
directors.
Any further information desired in
reference TO this matter can be OBJ
tanned from the secretary OF the
board, at the office of the district.

MUCH PAVEMENT WILL BE
LAID.
About 100000 to Be Spent Here This
Year for New Streets

Engineers are now husily engaged in
mapping out the new sewer system
for this city, aud as soon as the plans
are adopted, in about a month, the
council will again be ready to consid-
er street paving.
The mayor and council had a hard
time getting the paving ball rolling
here two years ago, but now that the
property holders know how fine the
bitulithic Improvement is, they are
taking the initiative, and instead of
some OF them fighting the street paw
ing, they are clamoring for it.
A comparison of Second. Third and
Fourth streets with the muddy cross
streets which are not paved, a con
trast which the citizens cannot help
but see eNemplihed every day. ex-
plains the change Of heart Another
boost for the cause Of paving was the
councils choice of the paving mater
ial, bitulithic. This has given fine
satisfaction, and two years use in the
city has already demonstrated that it
is durable, cheap in the long run, not
as slippery as most hard-surfaced
pavements and is of pleasing appear
ance.
1t is estimated that between $4,000
and 100000 will be expended BY the
Dalles property owners Tor street paw
ing this year, Washington Street land
owners are eager to pave. as are those
on Alvord. in the residential district.
and the indications are that most all
the streets below the bluff which cross
Second. Third and Fourth will be
hard-Surfaoed this year. I, is prob
able that before another year has
passed The Dalles will be able To
boast of nothing but hard surfaced
streets in the business section. With
