Most People Republican Nowadays.
The Reason Why

~ HS hGd50us UUyt
The many readers Of the Fairmont
West ytrginian VIII note that from a
political standpoint said paper Is and
has always claimed to be Republican,
ana while we admit that II has not
long been In existence, It Is the only
paper OF its kind published In Fair
mont Mostipe6ple nowadays are Re
publican which was proven by recent
elections, and they enjoy reading a
paper that agrees with them in poll
tics. which is the proper thing for
them TO do, and I believe It reaches
most OF the Republicans In Marion
county who read 1t from start to I'm
finish, which includes advertising as
wen. The few words allotted to tell
why It's the best advertising medium
"a Fairmoat Is inadequate, In short
i7Silli say that as most people want to
patronlze home talent in political
way, the success Of said paper Is
largely due to the political stand
point It has taken.
tThat Is the only Reason Why. =

IN rural Maine, when one has an
especially hard or dlsagreeable task to
perform, one "calls in the neighbors."
At such times the work performed Is
done without money and without price,
except that the host must provide
abundant refreshments, both nourish'

CLOSING THE INTAKE

Elsewhere In this issue we give the opinion of President Ran- dolph of the California Develop ment company regarding the con- trol of the Colorado river and the problem of shutting it out of the Salton Sea and returning it to its old channel to the Gulf.
 We can fully endorse MT. Ran dolph's optimism in this regard and enter with him into the be- lief that the river will very sho1 t. ly be under control. The reason we can so unreservedly subscribe to that belief Is the fact that, now, for the first time, a deter mined and who1e-hearted effort IS being made to close the break and control the water. There never has been any doubt that the water could be stopped if a sufficient effort was made. Now with adequate preparations and ample resources at hand, the work but awaits the decline of the river to volume small enough to go through the head
Imperial Valley press and the Imperial press., 1906-07-28
THE MEXICAN CONTRACT

In this issue we publish the full text of the concession granted to the Sociedad de Riego y Terrenos de la Baja California, which is the Mexican corporation owned by the California Development company, by the Republic of Mexico, for taking water out of the Colorado river. Some time ago we published the contracts between this Mexican corporation and the California Development company and Imperial Water Co.,. No. 1, concerning the matter of furnishing a supply of water for the irrigation of the lands in this valley.
 These contracts were based on the filing made on the waters of the Colorado river by the Cali fornia Development company, under the laws of California, aud referred to water diverted from the river in California.
 Diversion of water under this concession was begun about October 7, 1904, and since that time very little water has been diverted from the river in the United States at any time, and none except at very high stages of the river. It is, therefore, of interest to our people to know the source of title to the water they are using, and the terms under which 1t was granted to the Mexican corporation.
 With the completion of the dam across the intake, the water will be taken out of the river at Hanlon'S heading agaln. It is likely that diversons in Mexico will be abandoned, and all the water for the valley taken out at Han1on's, which is in American territory, and will bring the operation back under the laws of California again. This change, however, will make no difference to. the water user; it will be the same Colorado river water he will get, and the price he will pay for it will be the same, regardless of whether it is diverted i'll Mexico or the United States.
 While the Mexican concession is a very favorable one for the California Development company
