Pat 8 CROOK COUNTY JOURNAL 1 - Hie CashSsiisiiniess Plami Keeps the money at home and if this or any other store can only get the business on the every day necessities of life that is sent to the mail order houses it would mean not only a big business but a splendid investment to the community, as it would keep permanently a great share of the money at home.

The District officials are given ample j power to carry out all the purposes J for which they were organized ; and, ; in the failure of the District officials i to collect the necessary assessments, ' the proper county officials must perform the delinquent duty. In case of non-payment of assessments the land is immediately sold for the delinquent payment, which usually is only a small fractional portion of the value of the land. In this man ner the bond holder or investor is absolutely sure of his interest when due, especially when the lands with in the District are held in private ownership and owned in small tracts. There are several features pre sented by the District projects which are more f avorable to the successful operations of the farmer than those built by private corporations, under tfce Carey Act or by the United States Reclamation Service. No re sidence' or cultivation limitations are imposed; lands as a rule, are held in private ownership, so the success of the project is not depend ent on the sale of the land; the cost of the water is pro rated ac cording to the benefits received; and, in contrast to the projects built under private enterprises or under the Carey Act, the cost of the Irrigation System need not be paid until after the expiration of at least ten years, but the interest must be paid when due. Under present financial condi tions the District bonds are not sold readily for cash, so other means of their disposition mut be considered. Negotiations are now pending on several District projects for con struction on the basis of exchange of bonds as pay for work and ma terials. The railroads, contractors, material men, and manufactors, are all interested in this District devel opment and should realize the im portance to future operations. Ac cording to the best authorities practically no extension work is planned in railroad construction. There seems to be practically no new power development exeept in conjunction with irrigation. The United States Reclamation Service is limited in its operations to pre sent partially constructed pojects by lack of funds. Irrigation develop ment by private companies has pro ven anything but success in the past, and is not looked upon with favor at the present time, especially when faced by the sale of securities upon the open market. Therefore future construction and develop ment should be directed toward irri gation District projects, and the I Take Orders for Men's Made-to-Measure UITS 0eaping, Pressing and Tailoring promptly done.

Under certain conditions it would appear feasible and attractive" for large contractors to build Irrition District projects and accept hnds as payment. When the assessed val uation of the District closely ap proximates the amount of the bond issue, it would seem that there should be no great difficulty for a large contractor to hypothecate the bonds with his bank or financial in stitution, as collateral, to secure sufficient tocarry on the work. -This would appear all the more rca'son able at thti present time, when it is considered that large contractors have plants of machinery and equip ment, as well as a large amount of stock lying idle which could be brought lo an earning basis in place of a charge.- Futhermore, when the": proposed works have been estimated to a conservative and substantial basis, it is believed that a compara tively small proportion of the par value of the bond would be suffi cient to build the project when such items as discount on the bonds, con tractor's proifit.contingencies, plant charges, etc., are eliminated from the amounts necessary for construc tion, and when these items are fully provided for to the contractor iri the final payment, with bonds. 4- sa: L PRIG On all Jewelry and Other Articles in My Store NOTICE FOR PUBLICATI ON.
