It would seem, however, that there could be hardly n doubt concerning thlg attitude. So lnrge n proportion of thc InndH to be affected by the project are entirely without water, and' thc benefits to be derived from securing a supply of water are so much greater when measured In dollars and cents than thc probable cost, that It Ib almost certain that every land owner will be only too glad to do what he can to push the great work along. That this will be the case Is evidenced evi-denced by tho Interest alrcaxlyv shown by those who have discussed thc project ln any way. and It Is believed that the only necessity for holding meetings will be that tho water users may be made acquainted with what Is required of them In the premises.
