It was during the fall of 1909 that Henry Ford placed on the market his now famous Model "T the car that brought Ford unquestioned supremacy in thTmotor car industry. To date, more than four and million of this one model have been built and distributed to the four corners of the world. Of models prior to the "T, thirty thousand were manufactured.

The land owners in Weber and Morgan counties hae said by their votes that they want their share of the water it is proposed to store in reservoirs on the Weber river and its tributaries, if investigation proves the scheme practicable and within their means, and that is just what the organization of a district in North Davis county would mean. This is an effort whereby it is hoped to secure Davis countys share of this water, and in the effort the entire matter will be in the hands of Davis county land owners, through officers elected by the land owners themselves. The matter of the amount of water to be appropriated and assigned rests entirely with the officers, and through them with the people in interest. The plan which may be adopted to get the water on to the lands in their district also rests exclusively with them. I In the last analysis the proposition simply means: Do the owners of semi-ari- d lands want, to make an effort to secure a sufficient amount of irrigation water for their lands, "or do they prefer fo Try to get along in the future as they have in the past? In this connection it might be well for owners of large bodies of waterless land to take into serious consideration the fact that their lands will never again be carried as cheaply as in the past. Taxes are already high ; so high that land must be productive to stand the burden of taxation. Both democratic and republican county conventions went on record as favoring much expensive road improvement and such improvement will make another increase in taxation, which will bo an added burden on this type of land. All men recognize that the best paying lands in Davis county are the lands that are fully watered, and the poorest paying lands are those which are but partially watered or not watered at all. It is not the purpose of this article to influence the people to go into an irrigation district for the purpose of building any specific project, but it is the purpose of this article to influence the people to secure their share of the water which it is proposed to store, and then get this water on their lands by the cheapest and most efficient method . . which investigation reveals. , v During the past ten days the board of county commissioners have been hearing complaints as to water assignments made to lands during the survey of last summer. There seems to have been many errors in these assignments or appropriations as they may be termed, but these errors can be easily remedied. Another fact which is worthv of consideration is that a district must be organized before water can be appro- or government aid be secured. There is now a bill Eriated congress under the terms of which it is proposed to secure long time, low interest bearing funds for the building of just such irrigation projects as these. To secure such funds it would be necessary to have the water appropriated and a district organized. As the matter now stands, the proposition is about 'ra , - and whole family, a most practical -- one. LET SANTA DELIVER THE CAR CHRISTMAS MORN.

Do our people want a company of their own waters on their lands and maintain and these to bring operate irrigation works? Third: Do our people want the land owners of Weber and Morgan counties to share the expense of building the . storage reservoirs? If the foregoing questions are answered in the affirmative the district will be formed. The land owners of Weber and Morgan counties have voted to organize districts and the land owners of North Davis county can better afford to proceed along this line than either of those counties.
