ing To the Importance OF controlling its
rivers and utilizing its water resources.
Just what will finally come Of the Waco
convention remains to be seen. IL was
a notable gathering of men from every
part Of the state. The interest in flood
control and the development of irrigation
is undoubtedly spreading all over the
state.
This movement will hasten the coming
Of the day for the Valley when our river
will be under control, and be made our
servant instead OF our master. We are
now moving with the current OF public
thought. year ago we were regarded
as visionaries and dreamers. The pub
lie is awakening to the true situation and
something is sure to result.
The convention was well attended and
is regarded as a success.
The movement for flood control in
the Valley is certain to be stimulated
by this statewide movement. Willacy
county has appropriated $500 towards
the completion Of the flood surveys by
the United States Reclamation Service
now going on and the remainder of the
$4,000 needed Is now in sight. The ex-
ecuted contract to cover the completion
Of this work has been forwarded by
the Water Users Association to the
Denver office. and the work will soon be
completed.
One thing the Valley needs. II should
encourage rather than obstruct this
work.
