To the Daily Press:
| have been hoping that somebody
would take up the question of drain
age Of the lands under the present
ditch systems This is unquestion-
ably the most serious question which
confronts us and something which
nut not he temporized with any long
er. There ought to be organizations
perfected under the state drainage
law at once TO cooperate with the
United States government and get the
benefit of their experience and will
lingness to help us. | have no
doubt but that the United States
government would furnish us a COM
petent engineer to prepare plans for
drainage districts in this valley IL
we get organizations that can act
with authority. The matter is of
such great moment and so involved
that do not think II can be handled
in the ordinary way. IL is q matter
which should be taken up by the best
and most energetic minds in. the
country and I am writing to suggest
that the daily papers of Grand juno
tion are the ones to take up and push
this matter, see that committees are
organized and districts formed, and
get this great question disposed of.
1t is n matter of history that
drainage is inevitable in irrigated
countries. With the great advance
in science, there is nothing to fear.
nothing to be discouraged about, il
is simply a question of making it our
business to overcome this great men
ace. II is the greatest, most immed-
late problem before us and in my
opinion. the two daily papers are the
ones equipped 10 handle 1t on account
the many diverse questions and in
terests to be presented and made

sponsibility and start the movement
