Irrigation Work for Colorado
 River Assured

Speaking of the Colorado river irrigation project, Engineer Ar thur P. Davis said to Phoenix Republican representative:
 ''After the examination and re- jection of many sites along that stream a site has finally been se- lected at the lowest point of the river where good rock abutments could be secured and which is some distance above Yuma. The dam will be about 4700 feet long and water will be diverted on both sides of the river, both in California and Arizona.
 The Colorado river project is a monster undertaking and will be very expensive, but compen- sating results are anticipated. The people of this valley are more fortunately situatedin that in the Colorado project three things will have to be done, while here there is but one. The Tonto is a simple storage enter prise, while on the Colorado, be- sides the storage, levees will have to be built along the river and a system of drainage will have to be developed, for some of the lands are so flat that otherwise alkali would accumulate. This makes added expense, and the Colorado people will have to stand an expense of probably $35 an acre to secure what they want, against about half that amount in this valley.
 But nevertheless the people of Yuma are enthusiastic and say they would favor it even if it cost $50, knowing the wonderful fertility of their soil and the pos abilities of their agriculture. They have organized an associa- tion similar and patterned after the Salt River Valley Water Users Association and are giv- ing both the association and the reclamation officials royal sup port.

Wasn't to be Fooled by q Sign.


 An old fellow from one of POrtland'S most remote suburbs, while passing a certain hardware store in that city the other day, noticed a sign which read: Cast Iron Sinks" The old fellow chuckled softly to himself, then gradually, as the absurdity of it dawned upon him more forcibly, he broke into a loud guffaw. A passerby, attracted by the ap- parently unseemly mirth of the old man, made bold to ask what amused him so. ''Why, gol durn it, ".he sputtered between spasms, "ef some folks air not gittin' ter be reg'lar durn fules. The idee uv hangin' up CT sign tellin' peo- pie that cast iron sinks.

Shocking!

A certain newspaper man, who has the reputation of being rath- CT brilliant on occasions, attend ed a function in Washington re- gently where the hostess was known to be clever at repartee. When the journalist-he was en- titled to be called a journalist, because he had reached that stage in his career where, when he goes to interview great man, he puts in the interview what he said to the, man rather than what the man said to him when this journalist was about to take his leave, he went to the hostess to say good night.
 Before he could express the pleasure which the evening had afforded him, the hostess said:
 "Now don't say anything con ventional. I'm tired of plati- tudeS.'
 ''I won't" he replied. ''I'll say have had a h-l of a good time"
 "I'm d-n glad of it, replied the hostess. Washington Post.

A friend of mine down south, said Texas congressman, in dulged in the luxury of negro valet, or body servant, as we call them. This friend, in a riot of extravaganza, one day bought a pair of loud-checked trousers. His negro valet was enamored of the loud pantaloons and want ed them. They did not seem to be coming his way fast enough, and he threw some grease on them.
 Charley" said my friend, "take these trousers and clean them. There's a grease spot on them"
 Charley took the trousers, but didn't do a thing to them, and handed them back in half a day.
