The enterprising city of McCook has
become the subject of wide and favora
ble comment by voting $10,000 in
bonds to aid an irrigation enterprise. It
is one of the first , if not the very first ,
to incure an indebtedness for a public
improvement designed primarily to
benefit the farmers. The action is ,
however , based upon a perfectly sound
idea of logic. McCook has suffered
from the drouth as keenly as the farm
ers in the surrounding country , on whom
it depends for its trade. If the new
ditch makes the prosperity of these
farmers secure it will benefit McCook
by removing the precarious element in
its farmer's life. Perhaps the action
of the smartest town in Red Willow
county will set an example which towns
all over the arid region will follow.
