times and other times throwing rocks
through. These are large windows

sibly via. the old fashioned slipper
or birch rod method.

Many project farmers received
quite a blow last week when informed
by Mr. Ransier, the ditch rider, about
the water payments for the coming
year. A letter from Mr. Houghton
project manager, explains in detail
the necessary payments. First the
0. & M. tax for 1925, at $1.45 per acre
plus interest since May 5 must be
paid. The levy for 0. & M. for 1927
must be paid in advance, the assess
ment for 1 years, last half of 1926
and all of 1927, being $2.00 per acre,
must be paid before any water can be
obtained in the spring. The first
assessment for construction will be
come due, first half May 5, 1927, and
last half by No. 6. The amount due
for this is $2.00 per acre. Thus if
one has a 40-acre tract he must pay
?S8 for 1925 O. & M $80 for O. & M.
and $42.00 for construction ch arges,

making a total of $180 which must be
paid before next spring in order to
get any water. Now if some financier
will explain just how these farmers
can raise this amount in addition to
their other burdens he will have bene
fitted mankind here. We fear there
will be a number of cheap ranches
for sale here next fall. Where does
this much talked of "relief" come
in, and what doth it avail the farmer?
