Bonds Carried
Unanimously
By Special Correspondent

AAo julius lOr the Llttl0 WILLOW
Irrigation District, carried unanimous
iy. This is as 1t should be, for this
valley needs this storage reservoir
and needs it badly. We firmly be
lieye that now as the bonds have
carried everyone will put their best
efforts to obtaining the object oil
this bond issue, by encouraging the
building OF this project this summer
by all means. Let US get busy and
have this water that is now going
down Little Willow, bank full, stored
up for irrigation. This should have
been done ten years ago and l am
certain that any other set OF people
would have had it done and had the
benefit. But we are coming along
now and let US never stop until we
have the best developed country in
southern Idaho. Our soil is No. /,
our climate the best ever, plenty Of
water to be properly handled, two
Of the best reservoir sights, In fact
Nature has made everything as it
should be, and now let US, as people
not fail to come up to the standard,
and do our duty and use every ef-
fort to build up our own country.
We do not need promoters here, for
each Of us should promote and adj
vance and successfully manage = our
own country. If we as people would
work together and have confidence in
one another, what a grand country
we would have here. We should at
once get together and organize our
selves into working body, similar
to the Commercial clubs in our cities
and work for the valley, get capital
interested and we could In short
time have development sufficient to
warrant car line up our valley. We
must never knock, never, but be a
booster, boost for our valley, first
last and all the time. II this should
be followed by everyone of US what
would this valley be in five years
from now. We must work together,
and get this irrigation project in
hull motion this summer and then
other developments will follow in
iue time.
When ]. M. Thompson of Caldwell
vas with us last week he told US
hen that he knew of no project in
IDAHO or Oregon, that was equal to
his, the price of water, the kind Of
oil and all things taken into con-
liberation, we certainly had the best,
he price Of $500 per acre for the
I've thousand acres which we have or
anized under, and as our water sup
ly will permit we will have the en-
re valley in short time. All the
Ind remaining out when we organ
led will come in now and our Dis
let will be in better working order
18th more people and good level head
men which we have to represent
5 on the Board Of Directors, there
no reason why we cam OF forge
} the front. But OF all things bar :.
1T the everlasting knocker, he IL Of
, use anywhere, II anything comes
, which is not good for the pro-
ct, the people one and all should :
low of 1t and get out, come togeth-
and find out what is wrong and
Ike steps to right 1t at once, not
lie or two get together and make
mountain out of mole hill, but k
me out publicly. with your grief, p
r this Is the peoples project, the t.
ople are the land owners and they 81
Q living here and represent their P
vnership In person. 80 now We al
lst get busy and make things move
ong and when 1914 comes in have
r dam and our bitches built and ia
We so new families in our valley. n
