ant and agreeable one, and at its
close We feel that all present felt much
more confidence in the future OF thin
great tract than has ever been heretofore
expressed. Several questions OF vital in
tcrest to the settler were taken up and
discussed, and throughout the entire
meeting Mr.. MacWatters manifested Il
keen desire t. do all within his power to
enhance the success Of the actual farmer.
lie assured the committee that ample
provisions had already been made for All
adequate supply OF water for the coming

River run dry and the reservoirs refuse
to hold, but great hopes are entertained
Tor the success oil the latter as they have
been tested out during the past winter,
and defects rcmedicd, and at the present
time the Jerome reservoir is fast filling
up and now has more water in it than
al any time last season.
While financial conditions in the east
are not improved, and the money is be
ing held very tight, the deep interest
