Our project is a sure asset to the state of Oregon, and especially to Wasco :ounty, and we feel assured that in the near future we will be able to complete the work on the dam and will be enabled to develop the Flat to a greater producing area, and by that means to cause Maupin to double of treble its poplation with in abort time. Of course we have been a long time in getting this far but we think we can see our way clear to do some extension work this summer. There have been so many hindrances since we started by perseverance. and stick- to-it means a whole lot to any pro- --rjnv wbcn there is so much l7,DPsition.
