apportionment bill when it is taken up in
the house after the holiday reccss. The
representatives Of the states which will

izing for the struggle. The members of

would gain:
Arkansas l. California 1, Colorado I,
Connecticut l, Florida I, Illinois I, Iowa

sofa q, Mississippi l, Missouri I, New Jer-
sey q; New York 8; North Carolina i
North Dakota 1, Pennsylvania a; Texas

consin I.
Mr.. Burleigh Of Maine will draw ths

A VITAL MATTER
Question of Water Supply Demands
 Most Urgent Attention.

To the Editor of The Republican Sir: For ten years past I have been endeavor.ng to arouse the canal com panies Of this valley to a realizat ton of the necessity for instituting such measures as may be necessary for the protection of the water supply for ir- rigation in this valley; but for reasons unknown to me the canal companies south of the river have refused to CO., operate with the canal companies north of the river in protecting our water supply. This failure of cooperation has resulted in the appropriation Of large volumes of water on the upper Verde and its tributaries. which this valley is legally and equitably entitled to. which if now was flowing in our canals, would be worth to this com munity several thousand dollars per day.
 Not only are we passively submitting to present unlawful appropriation of water on the Verde and it's tributaries. but other canals are in the course O. construction which will be completed within a few weeks that will no doubt divert from the Verde river all of the water flowing therein, thus wholly de priving this valley of our present scanty supply from that source. No community was ever more indifferent to it's vital interests. than is this, con- cerning this water question. which will inevitably result iH this valley revert ing to Is normal desert condition, if prompt action is not taken.
 The indifference of our people con cerning this question can be accounta5 for only upon the supposition that they do not appreciate the seriousness of the situation.
 Fellow citizens, a continuation of our indifference simply means destruction to all our property interests in this val ley. J. w. EVANS.
