 This is tOO serious business to allow such misrepresentation of the facts and such conclusions that involve the Reclamation Department and make more difficult their efforts in our behalf to go unanswered, in order that the actions of these three men may be justified before the people.
 The paramount need for the success of the great Imperial Valley i- co-Opera- ton and harmony among it's various members and interests
 If the people will learn to work to. gether in harmony and good will and give encouragement instead of criticism and abuse to those who are giving their best efforts in their behalf, wonderful things will be accomplished.
 We are big enough to make q noise that will be heard from one end of the United States to the other, and with the strength that comes with union and harmony, none of our needs will long remain beyond our reach, or diff culties be ton great to be overcome.

RUSSIA'S CONSPIRACY
AGAINST ALL EUROPE

help, allows me to look on the Russian
people as called upon hereafter to hold
sway over Europe! My reason for thus
thinking is. that the European nations
have mostly reached a state of old age
bordering on imbecilfty, or they are
rapidly approaching it; naturally, then;
they will be easily and indubitably con-
quered by a people strong in youth and
vigor, especially when this latter shall
have attained its full strength and pow
er look on the future invasion of the
eastern and western countries by the
north as a periodical movement, or
dained by Providence, who in like man
ner regenerated the Roman nation by
barbarian invasions. These emigrations
of men from the north are as the refiux
of the Nile, which, at certain periods.
comes to fertilize the impoverished
lands of Egypt by it's deposit. I found

a large sea, destined to fertilize the i'm
poverished lands of Europe; and its wa
ters viii overflow, in spite of opposing
dams, erected by weak hands, if our
descendants only know how to direct
its course. This is the reason I leave
them the following instructions. give
these countries to their watchfulness
and care, as Moses gave the Tables Of
the Law to the Jewish people.
L Keep the Russian nation in a |
State of Continual War, so as to have
the soldiers always under arms and |
ready for action, excepting when the |
finances of the State Will not allow Of
