Following the letter above set forth.

ceived the following telegram from
Governor Davis:
Judge Peter d. Overfield,
Casa Grande, Arizona.
Decided to have Washington COM

tirely encouraging. Bill on admins

Judge Overfield left Monday morn
with the above telegram. after hur-
ried meeting OF the Committee of Six,
who ordered him to leave immedi-
ately.
Because Of the tireless efforts and
vigorous publicity campaign which
has been carried on by the executive
committee, the San Carlos project is
recognized by all the western states
as being a project which should be
constructed, and 1t is undoubtedly
because of this recognition that Judge
Overfield, being a member OF the
executive committee of the San Car
los, was selected as a member OF this
important washington committee.
II was the intention OF the Western
States Reclamation association that
41,g -. a..
Washington until something definite
was accomplished, and 1t is up to
the San Carlos association to see that
Judge Overfield remains on the job
with the rest of the committee.
Judge Overfield's ability is too well
known TO require comment. and IL is
apparent to everyone that he must be
kept at Washington at all hazards
where he can not only labor with
the committee in securing the general
relief measure, but where he can also
further the interests of III San Carlos
and lay the foundation for its being
one OF the first projects started by
the Reclamation Service.
This win require money. and this
money must be furnished by the
land owners under the project: and If
every man under this project will pay
his assessment of fifty cents per
acre an ample fund will be created
to not only take care of these ex-
penses but also to send such other
delegations to Washington as may
be necessary to confer with the
Reclamation Department relative to
the acreage and general scheme OF
the project.
Pay up now, and turn out and help
the committees named by the local
farm bureaus collect up these assess
ments.
