munity got the benefit just as the
John Day will profit thereby. Alfalfa
and other crops of quick return, in.
stead of the red apple at tho foot OF
the rainbow ten years hence had been
/ we'll established as the only crops for
new development in this locality. The
people of the nearby communities
were insistent on these facts and the
new conner scarcely dared to attempt
new and untried fields that were in VII
olation of the well esta ablished prin-
ciples and threatened ruin to the
smart one and injury to. the whole
community. All these very funda-
mental facts have become embedded |
in the life of the people of these con- |
tiguous irrigation districts. To have
opened the John Day ten years ago
would have cost the settlers who at
tempted its development hundreds of
thousands of dollars more than it will
cost them when that event takes place.
Successful Men Wanted
The ultimate object of such devel-
opment is a successful man on the
land and productive farm. AS to the
attainment of these ends there can be
no question. The land will be worth
when developed from 5000 to $3.50 per
acre subject to water charges. The
cost of the water has been estimated
at 800 to $125 per acre. Under pres
ent high costs this would be greater
NO land should be sold to settlers at
over $40 to $50 per acre. Both water
Ind land should be on easy terms and
government charges would be without
interest. These lands are easy to de-
'elop because of their smoothness and
rood soil qualities. Changing condi-
ions would cause changes in our fig
Tres, but not, relatively, important.

There is nothing resembling the lap
of luxury under a sage brush. 1t Is
this problem chiefly that the directors
of the John Day must meet before
they can realize their ambitions. The
public must become Interested in a
large degree before an enterprise Of
such proportions can be put over. The
merits are beyond question. The facts
for construction are available and the
methods OF development well known.

last week for mem bers of the I.
M. G. A. association was a de-
lightful affair and was largely
attended, and everyone had a
dandy time. The evening was
spent at dancing and ether
'amusements. Two contests
were staged whichcreated quite
a bit Of interest. One was a
relay race for men on "Kiddie
Kars" and it is safe to say That
none of the cOntes tants exceeded
the speed limit while the other
was q nail driving contest for
the ladies. Those who witnessed
this last contest are convinced
that there need be no shortage
of carpenters in this city and
