move the entire equipment over

With the coming of the New Year
of 1912, we hope for many good
things to come to us here in Lit
tie Willow valley. The approaching
of dawn on the New Year morn,
seemed to bring to US an inspiration
of what was surely to be-That the
Linsen creek dam will be built, that
an Irrigation District will be organ
lied, that new irrigation bitches will
be built, new ranches spring up,
old ones cut up in small tracts, fif-
ty new families have homes, rur-
al mail route established, electric
power cover the valley, more school
houses built, a car line, at least
half way up the valley, orchards set
out on the hills and in the valley.
melons and canteloupes, potatoes,
in fact everything raised. that can
be anywhere, and sent to market
by electric cars.
This is no pipe dream or is it
the effects of New Years dinner,
but facts which future years will
