At the Chamber of Commerce weekly luncheon this noon Dr. Flanagan was called on for remarks on the irrigation situation as it affected land owners on the north side of the river west of the city.
The doctor referred to the many irrigation schemes which have been considered in the past and stated that the present proposition is the most feasible one which has been proposed, one in which the farmers themselves take a part in the actual construction of the ditches. Dr. Flanagan gave personal experiences with and without irrigation on his farm west of the city and expressed himself as absolutely in favor of the project.
At a board meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, C. A. Winetrout, A. S. Coutant and Geo. C. Sabin were appointed a committee on irrigation. T. M. Stott was also elected vice-president, filling the vacancy caused by the removal of E. T. Ludden from the city, and E. A. Murphy was elected to the board of directors.
