Some of the Settlers Are Changing Their Minds About
Advantages of Irrigation District The More They
Learn of It, the Better they Like eIt

A petition to the County Commits
sioners was filed with County Clerk
B. F. Wilson, Wednesday, wherein
a large number of settlers on the
project have petitioned the County
Commissioners to fix 9 time I ,
election for the purpose OF voting to
determine whether or not the pro 1ct
sheli he organized into an Irrigation
District. Formal notice of the feet
ears in another part of this pa
per.
If the organization of an irriga-
tion district is the most efficient
method under which to operate the
'ystem, and il 1t will provide an eco
nomical, convenient and efficient
means of improving the system and

the opportunity to vote a district
will be welcomed by all settlers. and
IL is to he hored that the Commiss-
toner's will grant the petitioners re-
quest
A large number of prominent set
tiers on the project who have hereto
fore remained somewhat in doubt as
to the wisdom of votiF-g district
after further investigation and a bet
ter understanding of the benefits to
come from effecting such an organi-
zation, are now supporting the
movement And it will be worth the
time of all settlers to give the rues-
tion consideration and investiga ton
and If after that IL is found no be as
represented, then the movement to
organize district should receive the
support of all settlers.

Every dealer and person register

know you are causing some careless

that to hi mseems unjust.
