 The condition in which this valley now finds itself is the history of all ir- rigation countries MT. Elliott told the Rotarians. The people of this section should take a lesson from other ir- rigated countries and plan to care for this subterrenean water in time and at reasonable expense, otherwise it would cause great damage and much expense However, MT. Elliott implored them not to delay unnecessarily. | The tentative plan for financing the proposition was explained in detail by Judge Sloan. The entire project was to cost s600,000, he said. s500,000 of which was to be expended by the Wa ! ter Users association, and S100,000 by the city, the latter to be raised by the bond issue, which is to come up at the coming election.

Editor Reflector: 1t seems to be the
desire of every loyal man. woman
and child in Dickinson county to
erect some suitable memorial In
honor of the brave men and noble
women who served so efficiently and
successfully in the great world war
of 1917.
TraditiOnally and cOnventionally
we think OF monument of marble
or bronze, since that has been the
common method of honoring war
heroes and events In the past The
stately monument is certainly ap-
propriate In n national cemetery or
over the grave of fallen heroes In
any burial place. provided 1t is mas
slve and artistic enough to suggest
strength and beauty and nobility in
not traditional or conventional war
on our part While some of our
brothers paid the noble and supreme
sacrifice and deserve all honor and
gratitude, the vast majority of them
have survived the carnage and will
come home to carry on and carry out
their high ideals of service, sacrifice
and devotion to all endangered life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
to save the oppressed, to encourage
the downtrodden and to carry full
ness of life and liberty to all the
world.
Their ideals are high and they are
strong in the courage Of victory.
Even the noble dead live anew In
this sense of their example and power
of ideal. They are not dear 80 long
as their power and influence exerts
a living power OF example to us.
1t seems to me therefore that
memorial hospital is the most ap
and significant monument
that could be erected, not only to
honor the past deeds but carry on
the splendid ideals OF our soldiers,
sailors, Red Cross nurses, Y. NJ. @.

Our soldiers and sailors are as re-
nowned for generosity and chivalry
IS they are for courage and endur-
ince and they will not stand for any
monument which does not do full
lonor and justice to all whom 1t Is
lue in rightful measure. I do not
believe they would stand for any
which did not include the
Red Cross nurses abroad and the
Red Cross workers at home and no
,ther monument would be as approp
late for this purpose as beautiful
