A very enthuiastic and interesting meeting was held at the above place on Thursday afternoon of this week. Owing to the fact that the meeting was held in the afternoon it was impossible for some who are interef ted to be present, but sent word for their neighbors A number of farmers and business men met at the K. P. hall in Englewood, April 7, 1909, for the purpose of discussing the question of irrigation known as the "Cimarron Project" which ha3 been proposed by, the U. S.

government. At the meeting Wm. Little was elected chairman, J. Marsden, secretary. The question of irrigation was thoroughly discussed by Mr.

McConnell, engineer, Mr. Schneider and others, after which various questions concerning the plan of irrigation were asked by the citizens and answered in a very satisfactory manner. The gentlemen are known as government experts concerning government irrigation projects, and being thoroughly competent to give information on any question on that line, we feel that the meeting held was a grand success, and much valuable information distributed among the citizens here which we believe will be put into practical use. Mr. Schneider reviewed the government plan of irrigation at Garden City, Kansas, which has proved to be a wonderful success where thousands of acres of pasture land has been utilized for better purposes in the way of furnishing comfortable homes for those who now reside there.

The same thing has been successfully carried on in many other places throughout California, etc, and we can see no reason why the "Cimarron Project" as proposed by the U. S. government will not prove a success here the same as it has already proved in other places. sign up for them, but this could not be done as every man must sign up for I himself. An organization was perfect ed and 5,000 acres were subscribed, which practically means that the irrigation project is assured, and papers were left for those to sign up that could not be present, and as soon as are subscribed the government will make investigation to ascertain whether or not the plan is a feas-able one.

MR. LITTLE INCOUUAGED. Mr. Little who has spared no time or expense in working up this irrigation project says he is very much incouraged and that there isn't any question but what there will be a sufficient amount of land subscribed to insure the project, that the papers left to sign up will be circulated and he advises all to get in on the ground floor as the number of acres are unlimited but the water supply will be limited to those that sign up. AN IDEAL TRACT MND.

This whs the opinion of the gentlemen that were here for the purpose of looking over the situation and to give the people such enlitement on the matter as they desired. liillliilllAAtiliillllUlllillli fUVflsniiv mniran! kototvv wrw vcvvv that place recently from heart trouble.
