'I am satisfied that the future
prosperity and growth of the valley
depends upon irrigation." said 'Mr.
Coleman. "Without water, the val

it will steadily go forwards. Irriga
tion Is necessary if the valley Is ever
going to amount to anything.
"1 have been a resident of the val

"I find that many farmers are
afraid that if district bonds are voted
the money will be squandered,
but the fact that the expenditures are
under state supervision and construc

the funds will be administered

the district will be well managed. I

when the treasurer circulated it i
among them, for it waa the first city
