dallars to learn the facts and figures
for which the farmers were assembled
to ascertain. These men explained
minutely many of the details, but It
was the clear-cut, logical and often
eloquent address of Walter M. Pierce
that fanned the enthusiasm Into ac
tion. He traced the local Irrigation
propaganda from Its Inception years
ago, until the present time, when It
was given renewed life by the propo
sition advanced by David Eccles.
Following the "round table talks"
which followed, the- subscription blank
was started, and 1000 acres were sub
scribed while two men , could write
their names Walter M. Pierce and J.
D. McKennon. The next subscriber
wanted two acres, arid so on It went
In quick succession until over (000
acres had been subscribed.
As announced exclusively In The
Observer last week, the Commercial
club had done Its utmost to get a rep
resentative crowd In attendance, and
the results last Saturday evening
were plainly visible. . "There Is no

treat," is Flerce's view of the mutter,
and he Is unmistakably correct
