FROM DISTANT POINTN
This week Tho TltnWHcrnld has
received Bovernl leUera from aub
scribern who rosldu at n distance
boosting; for tho Irrigation district
nnd nendlng encouragement. Among
theso letters nro two in particular,
which stand out most favorable One
is from C, K. Marriott, who Is In bus
iness In Santa Maria. California.
This man evidently owns land In
this vnlloy but Is not personally
known to tho writer, although he ho
been n subscriber tn this paper for
a long tlmo. He writes, In part:
"I urn sending herewith my cheel
for $2 00 to pay my subxerlpt'oe
for I HI 9. It nrfords me great pleas
tiro to nco that the people of Harney
valley are getting a move on. Hy
nil means boost for Irrigation for U
will make u vast difference there In
n few years, Don't worry about the
cost, for It will como back with hlr
interest within a short time. I lived
In tha Han Joaquin valley for twonty-
11 vo years and can testify to the won
dors it worked there. I hope the
good people will make no mistake
and work early and late for irriga
tion." Another of theso letters was ro-
cloved frew John H. Martin, former
superintendent of the Experiment
