IRRIGATION PROBLEM SOLVED

In the news columns of The Herald
this morning will be found an %oun
ment that will bring good cheer to the
hearts of the farmers of the Brownsville
neighbOrhOOd. 1t will be seen that the
property of the old Brownsville Irri-
cation Company, has been taken over by
the Rio Grande Canal Company, which
is duly organized and incorporated un-
der the laws of the state.
Two things in the announcement of
the plans If this company are worth
considering. One is that the old property
will be put into first class shape; the
machinery will be over hauled and will
be replaced with new wherever %requir-
ed; the canals will be cleaned out and
extended.
The other announcement is that there
is to be no need less delay. Engineers
will go into the field Monday.
Along with the good news of the tax
ing over of the old system comes the
news of the organization of the Fres-
nos Land and Irrigation company which.
while it has no direct connection with
the Rio Grande Company, is composed
of the same people. and will have to do
with the development OF land within
twelve miles of Brownsville. This it is
stated on reliable authority, is design
ed to become one of the most important
irrigation enterprises in the entire val
ley.
The Brownsville Irrigation company.
whose assets nave been taken over by
the Rio Grande people, is one of the old
est of the irrigation projects in the Val
ley. 1t is also one of the most imp0r-
tant. For some time, however. since its
affairs have been in an unsatisfactory
condition, the farmers in the territory
covered by its canal system have been I'M
have become rather discouraged accord
ingly. The announcement of the change
in ownership and in management will
undoubtedly tend to encourage them.
1t is pertinent to note in this cOnncc-
ton that Mr.. J. b. Scott, president of
the Brownsville Chamber of Commerce.
a man who is known to have the inter
ests of this section deeply at heart, will
be i'm charge of the system and also of
the construction and improvement work
on the canal.

could. Z

also warn them to take pains to
make advertising accurate, for mis-.
statements produce disgrunted GUS
toners who can make 4 lot of trou-
BILE for a store which depends for
success on its own townspeople.
lfmen Of less responsible character
sometimes go into retail trade,
they are too shrewd to make mis-

is that complaints of misrcpresenta.
