them.
I certainly appreciate the compli-

regret that an urgent call from Los
Angeles robbed me Of the most pleas
ant fruit Of our work in your midst
You are to be congratulated upon
the successful completion Of a pro-
ject so vital to the welfare and pro-
gress Of Pendleton. Your water sup
ply now ranks with the best in the
country. The system has cost the
community really less than It IS
worth, and its upkeep for unlimited
years will be practically nil. There
has been no graft to taint the admin
istration, no costly blunders have
been made and the spirit Of fairness
and confidence with which we were
met made it both an obligation and
a pleasure to give you the best there
was in US.
The credit for such enterprises be-
longs first Of all to the men who have
the vision. and the optimism to be-
lieve the vision can be realized. Next,
to the engineer whose trained mind
and accurate knowledge makes that
vision possible. The contractor, is
only the hands to work out their
ideas, and he should be condemned
/ If he does not do his part well, rath-
er than praised if he does.
Because Of tn generous friendship
with which we We're received, and the
unique charm Of the place itself Pen
dleton will always be a delightful
memory to US, and we shall hereaft-
er be among the most ardent Of Its
boosters"

wishes, Sincerely yours,
