VILLAGE BOOSTERS
ARE MAKING GOOD
CO. OPERATIVE IRRIGATION CO. AND WATER
USERS UNDER SYSTEM ARE JOINING
HANDS FOR ADVANCEMENT
GET TOGETHER FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY

1t is gratifying to note that the
users under the canal system of the
Mountain Home Cooperative Irriga-
tion company, are closing up the
water contracts, and everything is
moving with fair degree Of progresF
The past week some of the largest
land owners in this section have
signed the water deeds, and the con-
fidence reposed in the company's a
bility to deliver water Is good to
note. 1t augurs for good development
in the future.
The company is desirous of pushing
operation as fast as possible, and to
this end it would seem that the de-
tails of completing the contracts
should be speedily disposed of. The
most substantial citizens who have
ever been identified with the pro-
gress and development OF Mount
ain Home have further advanced To-
Cdl dCllNlpy ny uoih6 0NSAJ ehAuS AS
cessary for the development OF the
irrigation project. 1t is boosting OF
that sort that is going to make the
community, and every individual who
is interested in land under the sys-
TEN can we'll afford to do his share
toward perfectng the great work
that will mean so much for the coun-
try in seasons to come.
Here and there may exist differ
ence of opinion on some point or
other, but these points can be
waived with general benefit.
The company representatives now
here state that everything is going
ais smoothly as could be expected,
and the endorsement that has been
| rendered is encouraging. A large in
vestment has been made and it is
necessary to perfect all details OF
the water deeds in order to estab-
lish the business of the future and to
proceed with the present work.
Mountain Home people gave the
company every assurance at the time
of the transfer of the canal holdings,
and it is pleasing to note that the
good will is substantial to degree
where the average individual is
ready to complete his end Of the
contract which is evidently correct.
The company has had to encount'
er many obstacles in the process OF
reorganization, and If any small op'
position exists it cannot but have a
detrimental effect on the country at
large. 1t Is unreasonable to assume
that this or any other concern on
earth possesses the capability OF
completing all it's plans In one sea
son. but it has made good, and il
would seem that the water users OF
Mountain Home and vicinity should
consider that every performance has
been in good faith, and integrity can
not be questioned. 1t a clrcum
stance wherein there must be protec
ton for the water carrier as well
as the water-user. Otherwise cha
otic condition would be the result.
The water deeds afford mutual
protection. No personal right, title
or interest is jeopardized. Stil
there remains protection for eact
party to the contract, and the indi
vidual who really possesses whole
some desire to abide by the terms OF
any equitable proposition cannot fine
the least fault with legal con
; tract 1t simply perfects and Sc
cures his intent.
1t is the desire of the Co-Opera
tive Company to promote Mountain
Home in every conceivable manner
and the heads of that company are
known throughout the west as boost
ers of value to any community ant
the Republican is of the opinion tha
our people should keep pace Will
the factors who are doing things
pass all grievances, avoid controvers!

ity that encourages capital to invest
