WATER FOR WICHITA FALLS

WICHITA FALLS is 4 town that does things. 1t
has been noted for something from the time ii
big enough to emerge from the big village class.
In the old days, which aren't so old after all, when
Oklahoma was dry and Texas wasn't, Wichita Falls
was one of the wettest of the wet. Her citizens
boosted that she had so many saloons that some OF
them had to be set up on the outside of the city
limits to remain anywhere near their lawful proper
fion to the population. In those days the town was
known far and wide as WhiSkeyta Falls, and the
suitcase and jug trade was. no small feature in the
prosperity of the community. Even before the
coming of prohibition, however, Wichita Falls
learned to stake its reputation on oil. The little
city doomed with oil and sagged with oil only to
boom again. Wirhal il took on solid development
and acquired substantial industries drawn there by
the tireleSS enterprise OF It's builders and directors.
.Nnd then it ran up against the problem that has
proved too big Tor many municipality older and
Larger than Wichita Falls. That problem was water.
But the problem hasn't proved too big for
Wichita Falls ii we may trust the dispatches an
nouncing the letting OF a S4,50O,0W contract Tor a
dam to %impound a vast reservoir OF water on the
Wichita River. There is tremendous significance in
this announcement. Not only does it mean the
fruition OF a project dreamed over and labored for
through years Of planning and foresight by some
OF the wisest men that ever built a town. Not only
does it mean the releasing OF large sums OF money
in the channels OF trade in Wichita Falls during
a period OF slack employment. Not only does it
mean possibilities in irrigation in a section that
occasionally stands in need of added moisture be-
yond that vouchsafed by the skies. Beyond and
even bigger is the meaning Of this forward step by
Wichita Falls. 1t means that she is abou; TO leave
the ranks OF the lesser cities and stand forth as one
OF the larger ones.
The courage and vision that has brought this
project to so propitious a beginning Shames more
%populous cities in that they have dawdled along with
inadequate water supplies until they have come
sooner or later, most of them, to the painful realiza-
ton that water suggests no longer a desirable re-
source, but a desperate emergency. To have planned
while other cities hesitated-that is the story of
Wichita Falls. 1t is by no means a discreditable
story, either, except to the cities that have hesitated
