The Russell ranch, near Cottonwood Island, is being irrigated with large ir rigating pumps. So far this year a considerable acreage has been planted and it is proposed that year by year a greater amount of land will be re- claimed. During the past month the pumps bucked considerably, which came near resulting in the ruin of the growing crops. The ranch covers one of the prettiest pieces of land on the Colorado river.

CLINTON SAYS TAX
Campaign for Special
School Tax Successful
by Large Majority.

Supt J. Y. Joyner yesterday AFTER
noon received a telegram from 0upt'
John A. Terrell, stating that the VOC
upon the question of speclai TAX DIT
Clinton, had resulted in large MA
ioritv in favor of the levy.
This was particularly pleasing news
to Mr.. Joyner as Clinton was consld-
cred a hard nut" to crack. some
ten years ago the district voted Spe-
cial school tax, which was repealed
after a wear or so by another election.
When the tax was defeated, the peo-
ME celebrated the retrogression by
fireworks and cannon crackers. NOW
the people have again changed their
minds and allied themselves WIN
q progressive policy
In addition to another Sampson
county district which is to vote on
the tax question in a short time, there
are three Robson county districts
which will likewise take vote.
1t is expected that the Clinton re-
suit will have such a favorable effect
as to cause all these districts to vote
for the tax.

when it was currently reported this
