Nice Bouquet for Richards

Some twelve years or so ago, not
long after the advent of the writer to
the state of Wyoming. there was a live
ly battle for political control of the in
FAINT commonwealth. A modest and
unassuming stockman from the then
unborn county of Big Horn-modest
and unassuming but a hustler withal-
walked away with the gubernatorial
laurels. And he made us a good gov
ernor. Not at all sensational, to be
sure, but intelligent and progressive
the kind the people want. From Chey-
enne to Washington to look after some
important work in one of Uncle Sans
departments and upward step by step
in the confidence of each succeeding
administration until his word is prac-
tically law in all matters pertaining to
the hundreds of millions of acres of
government land-that is the recent
history of this plain Wyoming citizen.
There is said to be one thing he es-
pecially enjoys, and that is to person
ally oversee the opening of Indian res
e%rvations, and in the course of the
next thirty days he will be in Thermop-
oils to see hat the Shoshone reserva-
ton is turned over to the white settlers
in due form.
No one will fail to recognize in this
man William A. Richards, former gov
ernor of Wyoming.-Rock Springs

of the country tributary to the Lower Colorado on safe lines.
 But this measure of control over their operation did not suit the management of the California Development company, so MT. Heber went to Mexico, where on May 17th, 1904, he received a most sweeping concession from the Mexican government to the waters of the Colorado river. By this grant the California Devel- opment company through its Mexican company was authorized to take from the river 10000 cu- bic feet of water per secOnd and of this amount they were author ized to deliver at least one half in the United States, being obli- gated to deliver the remainder ia Mexico at such rates as the Mex lcan government should fix.
 This concession was really more advantageous to the California Development company and placed them in a stronger position so far as the ownership of the water is concerned, than they would have been had congress passed the Daniels bill. And the advant- age of operating Ill a foreign country was also very great. The granting of this concession to tap the river was a violation of the treaty between the United States and Mexico, which p1o- vides that neither nation shall do anything or permit anything done to a river forming an inter national boundary unless with the consent of the other nation.

Power company Is already pre- pared to enter the field at the first moment such an enterprise is needed. With very large fa- cilities for increasing their pro- duction of power they will be able to construct and operate such roads III very advantageous manner and they expect to begin building them just as soon as there Is all assurance of the1l be- ing needed. In fact, the HOltOn Power company will pioneer in that enterprise i'll thes,same. way they have pioneered in the others. Tn the past they have not only anticipated the wants of the peo- pie but have loaned money and furnished the people the means to get into the lines of production which would demand the things produced. This is we'll illustrat- ed by the cantaloupe growing industry at Holtville and El Gen. tro, where tue farmers have been helped aud encouraged in every way by Mir. Holt and the Holton Power company. Just so will 1t be with the construction of cleo tric railways. As soon as they are needed or. a sufficiently large number of people in any conmun- ity not already supplied with transportati tion facilities engage in or prepare to engage ln a line of production that will justify the construction of a line, the line will be built and operated.

Tff ACQUISITION OF LOWER CALL
 FORNlA

The proposition that the Unit ed States shall acquire the penin- sula ot Lower California has been advanced a number of times and on various occasions in the past,
 but 1t has always been on the ba- sis that 1t joined LIS or was valu- able for minerals and contained
 rich agricultural lauds. Such
 proposition put forth on such
 basis would naturally lack the
 merit to give 1t honor and stand ing and consequently could neith- CT be advanced by the United
 States nor considered by tue Re- public of Mexico. But since the problems connected with the use of the waters of the Colorado riv- CT for irrigation have taken the course they have the matter of ac- Quiring Lower California has as- sumed an entirely different shape. It will be remem bered that the government of the United States, both through it's administrative departments aud by congressional
 action specifically refused to gra 1t the claim of the California Development company to mon- opolv of the waters of the Colo- rado river. There was no obiec- tion offered by the government to the diversion of the waters of the river and their use fir irrigation, so long as the water thus divert

 to protect the interests of the set tier and secure the development

THE BOLTON POWER co.

The most potent 1OrCe tndt Is now working for the development of the Imperial Valley IS the Holton Power company. While the Southern Pacific railway company through its control of the California Development com pany has been spending consider able sums of money in endeavor- ing to control the Colorado river and regulate the amount of wat CT coming to this Valley their ef- forts have been so meager as to be ineffective up to the present time. The outcome of their ef- forts to the present has tended to discourage rather than encourage the people of this Valley. In the midst of all these conditions the Ho1ton Power company has car ried on it's work and the result IS that to-day it is the greatest and most active force and IS doing more than all other agencies to- ward the improvement of this Valley and the development of its industries. It's plans are laid to cover the entire Valley and it's enterprises are so firmly estab- 1ished that its success is assured. With the means of producing el- eetrical power Ill large amounts and at very little expense 1t fol- lows that 1t can enter the indus trial field to the very best advan- tage. It will furnish lights and power to all the industries of the Valley and will engage iii many of them itself. The ice manufac- turing business when conducted to advantage is known to be very profitable. The Holton Power company engages in this line of business in the most advantage GUS way. They will therefore be iu position to supply the Valley with this commodity and at les S prices than 1t can be supplied from any other source. This will be a great advantage to the Valley for the more nearly the things we need can be supplied to us by the home producers the better it will be for all. The success of the ice manufacturing enterprise will no doubt be fol- lowed by others. The plan of establishing a large beef and pork packing plant here at El Centro in connection with the ice business of the Holton Power company has been under contem- plation for some time.
 The item of freight to market is a very large one for the live animals and there are a number of economies that can be realized by slaughtering and packing the fat cattle and hogs raised in the Valley here at El Centro, The proposition is receiving attention and offers an attractive opening for business. In addition to that and other enterprises and indus tries that will spring up with the development of the Valley, the

the diversion of the water under the terms of the concession would not 1njuriously affect the inter- ests of the government while it's diversion would supply the people of this Valley with water. Moth ing but disaster however, has followed the cutting of the river bank In Mexico and as a result enormous damage has been done, hundreds of square miles of Amer ican territory IS transformed into an inland sea. A very large in- dustry has been wiped out. The Southern Pacific railroad com- pany has been compelled to build nearly 100 miles of new track and their main line IS still endangered for a distance of 40 miles, being only a few feet above the en- croaChing waves. In addition to this very large amount of dam age has been done in the Imperial Valley. Several thousand acres of farming lands have been washed away and other thous- ands of acres ruined by deep gull lies as a result of the floods that have been discharged into this Valley as a result of cutting the river in Mexico. The large chan nel erOded in the loose, alluvial soil has reached the main chan nel and lowered its bed at Yuma. Unless the break Is repaired and the river restored to its old course to the Gulf within the present season, the lowering of its bot tom will undermine the Laguna dam and destroy the United States reclamation project at Yu- ma. Mexico IS responsible for this condition of affairs for it has all come about through the neg ligence of her officials.
 The California Development company Is required by the con- cession to pay to the Mexican government $500 per month for a government engineer to supervise the taking of the water out of the Colorado river. We are in- formed that this payment has been made by the company, but that the engineer has not been supplied. If this is true the blame attaches to Mexico all the more. The United States Recla- nation Service has already in- vestigated and reported on the Lower Colorado river situation and they recommend that a right of way be secured from Mexico for canal and that the work of controlling the river be taken up by Uncle Sam. As the break is ln Mexico the Reclamation Ser vice cannot enter to undertake the work and the Southern Pacit- lc IS rushing men and materials to the scene and no doubt doing all that the government could do even if they had a right of way. It IS reported that the government will cooperate with the railroad company 1n every way they can iu the work in hand. This guaran- tees that the break will be damned and the river swung back to it's old channel just as soon as possi- ble. Meantime the transfer of | I Go1If0~.,so
