Dear Sir: Tho last two years of drought havo brought homo to every ono tho nbno lutc necHHlty of Irrigation for orcli- nnrn, nlfalfa fields, and truck gar dens, not mentioning tho dcidrablllty of water every year for Bilcb crops, and general farming na well. At this time, with tho wldo spread Interest In Hiigar beets which can suc cessfully bu grown on land ordinarily considered too light for good farm crops, and tho very proliablo devel opment of that Industry In our val ley, wo havo been practically nsHtircd that If wo can get G0U0 acres of laud covered by tho high lino ditch signed up between now nnd no later than December first, tho high lino ditch will bo built nnd can lie completed by uno of 19 1 G. Ilcgardless of tho character of the, noil, whether It bo creek bottom, light or licavy Btlcky, or desert, tboro In no question about Die necessity of water, tho profits to be derived from tin use, as well an tho desirability of having It overy year. Tho new contract ot tho Canal com pany in th6 samo for ono and all, with no exceptions. It Is ivory fair, not only to us, but In comparison with similar contracts In this and otlior states, It Is reasonable, workable, and profltablo for tho land owner. After a period of depression nnd mis understanding, tho Canal company has undertaken and about completed certain work at Klsh l.aku and Four Mllo Lake Hint will Insuio tho deliv ery of nil water necessary to cover what lauds tboy have nud need sign ed up, Tho present Hopkins canal Is to bo Increased so ns to cover some 20,000 acres. Tho small cnnnl out of Hear Crook covorlng 1000 acres Is about complotod. Surely thoso ot us whoso properties can only bu reach ed by tho high lino ditch can't afford nt this crltcal time to lot this oppor tunity of getting watoi escape us. Vo1iavo no other Interest and will dorlvo no benefit whatever except to got water for nIiIcIi wo pay the sumo as ovory ono else. Hut wo nro vitally lutercuted In the success of our orch ards and farm lauds, ns well au In tho general good of this valley. The Canal company Is on thu Job, Is financially nblo and willing to go ahead now on this high line ditch If wo can show them C000 acres signed up or promised. And wo feci It only good business for us nil to get fogoth er nt this critical time so that wo can havo wntcr, which means suro crops, Instead of what wc have bad, not only tho past two years, 1)Ut also In other years. Wo need your help ns n neigh bor and want you to co-opcrnto with us In not only agreeing to sign up, but In turn getting your neighbor to do likewise. I.ct us have your views and help, either In writing or by uhonc In this endeavor, which will bo an equal benefit to us nil. Yours truly, CAIlPKNTKfl HltOS. It. II. I'AIISONS, II. CUCJAN IU W.
