The Mancos Times and Monte
yuma Journal have each taken a
turn at the printing of the delin-
quent tax list and, as a result, we
have a few words to offer. OF
course we understand very clearly
that the Times would like to make
it appear that it is the only paper
in the county that can properly
print the list, but while we have
not been in the printing business
between forty and fifty years, we
were not aware that that length of
service was necessary before one be-
came competent to put tax list in
type and print the same. The
Times says THE STAR did not print
the list correctly. Ifthere has been
any serious complain. against the
work executed by THE STAR it has
not been made to us, and if there is
a string to our present contract, as
the Times says, We were not so in
formed in our official notification.

Senator John J. Harris not only
works for Democracy here at home
but does what he can to aid the

following from his old home paper,

The pole raising and Democratic
meeting at Seven Mile house Satur-
day afternoon was one of the most
enthusiastic political events of the

mostly farmers from the surround
ing country were present. Sixteen

event a success. The pole that was
raised was cut by T. c. Russell on
his farm and is rs feet high. The

of Bryan and Stevenson, was I pres
ent from Hon. John ]. Harris, a

ate and resident of Dolores, Colo.

Judge George c. Beis. Henry Hart,
Henry Black, city solicitor of Tiffin,

All Of the addresses were eloquent
and able discussions of the issues of

most Of which will be considered
and passed during February, as
Congress adjourns on March 4, it
being the short session.
The estimates which have pecul-
lar Importance to the arid regions
are those for the continuance of the
measurements ofrivers, the examin-
alton of underground waters, and
especially the survey of reservoir
sites, and reports upon the cost and
value of reclamation of large areas
of fertile arid lands.
FOR SURVEYS.
At the last session of Congress
the National Irrigation Association
energetically endeavored to have
the annual appropriation ofthe Geo.
logical Survey for this purpose in
creased from the almost absurdly
small sum of $4,000 to the amount
of $3.50, 900, this being more in ac-
cordance with the needs of the coun-
try. The increase was made in the
Senate, but in conference with the
House of Representatives compro-
mise Of 500 900 was reached, the
concession being made that at the
next session the sum Of $4,000
would be favorably considered.
ORGANIZED EFFORT EFFECTIVE.
1t is understood here that the pre-
liminary estimates now being made
by the Geological Survey are for the
expenditure of$7so,ooo. Whether
this amount will be granted by con-
gress or not depends largely upon
the interest manifested by CONNER
cial bodies and various organizations
and citizens throughout the West.
The preliminary estimate allows for
the expenditure of certain amounts
in each of the western states and
territories, but it is necessary that
the matter be urged by each of the
communities interested.
A lesson can be learned from the
attitude of many of the eastern
states as regards river and harbor
improvements; these improvements
are not left to chance or regarded
with indifference, but the claims of
each locality are made known and
Systematically pushed by organized
effort. such as boards of trade or
merchants associations. Eastern
interests are organized for work, and
when an eastern locality wants riv-
er and harbor appropriation it goes
after it in a thorough, systematic
manner. and sooner or later gets it.
This is what the west can and should
do. Every western board of trade,
chamber Of commerce, and CONNER
cial organization should bestir itself
individually, bring all the influence
it can to bear upon the Senators and
Congressman ofits state, and active.
ly cooperate with the National Ir.
rigation Association to not only in.
sure favorable Congressional action
on these survey estimates, but to
otherwise advance the interests of
the arid region through national
channels.
Civilization sprang from agricul.
ture, and the agriculture of the
ancients was always dependent upon
the dam and the ditch and not upon
the wild clouds of the heavens.
