WHO is WHO?
A Glance at the Personnel of the
Board Of Directors Of the
Canal Users Association

Who is Who and Are the directors Of
the North Side Canal Users Association,
interested in building up the farming in
terest OF the great North Side tract?
Is it reasonable to believe that they
would do anything to injure the interest
OF their own holdings, or the general in
terest of the tract, which must be admit
ed depends OH the success of the farm?
Can more representative body of men1
be found in any country who absolutely |
represent the farming interests? Each |
and every one OF them are actual farm |
ers, living on their own farms, and not
the slightest sign OF speculator can in
any way be traced to any Of them, they |
having spent their own money and own
labor in building up and improving their
farms
Now, Mr.. Reader, let us see who they
are, and then let Ills look at the personnel
Of our directors from human nature
standpoint, and ask ourselves, "willl
they wilfully or Intentionally 30 anything
to hurt themselves or the general farm
ing interest, which is the only factor this
tract must rely OH for its success?''
The Jerome district is represented by
Messrs. Rice, Bruner, Wilson and
Hogshire. Mr. w. p. Rice's farm OF
l60 acres lays directly south of the town,
and the general appearance OF his farm
shows the results of his labors and the
thousands OF dollars he must nec-
essarily have expended to put it in its
present condition. Let us now move
miles south on the pole line to Geo.
Hogshres farm. You will find every
acre Of it cleared, and nearly all in alfal-
ia, and improvements, such as house,
barns and fencing AS good as anywhere
ON the tract.
Next We will drop over to Wilson Bros.
farm-the one farm of all farms that not
only has the company, but the settlers
pointed to, as being and having been
among the very first to be put into cul-
: tivation. 1t has been pointed to with
pride to the newcomer, who has been
o asked TO visit and inspect it, and see
o what can be accomplished by men of ex-
perience, with the best of equipment and
teams.
We will then go six miles north to ont
e of the first settled farms on the tract
e owned and operated by \. T. Bruner
p brother and nephew, and which to-da,
o is in state of cultivation acceptable t.
the most critical. Now, Mr.. Reader, j
you will visit and talk to the owners o
u the above mentioned farms, who have al
il spent thousands OF dollars, and years o
I labor in making for themselves and fam
~ lilies new homes in a new country, yol
will find that they have, by their labor
and money, succeeded in placing thei
= farms in condition that is more thai
IT pleasing to the real farmer or the maj
: who wants to farm.
Our Wendell and Shoestring director
y are prominent men in their tommunitie
\ and on the tract.
Is Mr. II. f. Barrett and his brother an
lie actual farmers residing on their farms
o. Mr.. 4. T. Eakin and his brother are no
- only interested in the Wendell district
but also in the Clover Greek and Milne
10 tracts, and are actual farmers. MI
he Geo. Collins and his brother are fightin
Mt it out in the Shoe String district, livin
So on their farms. Mr.. Burdick resides o
% his farm in the Wendell district, and
one OF the most substantial farmers @
the tract.
Is Show me, Mr.. Reader, where men 1
d. mentioned above, who have their all il
vested, and their families with then
will in any way 10 any thing detriment
n to their own interest or those Of the
brother farmers.
or Compare the labors and achievement
cir of these men with those who choose
criticize them and then tell us which
n the two has the best interests OF the ira
D. at heart.
