GOOD INDIVIDUAL ALSO
GOOD DEMOCRAT"-BLACK
Noted Washington Jurist Speaks to
Jefferson Club at Luncheon in
Hotel Holenbeck

What is a Democrat?" was the
topic of the address of Judge w. w.
Black of the superior court of Ever
EFT, Wash, at the noon luncheon OF
the Jefferson club yesterday at the
Hotel Hollenbeck.
"A man who has infinite faith and
real love for people," said Judge Black,
mo matter what his belief may be on
minor subjects, is a true Democrat.
There is no law that suits everybody.
The law against fishing at certain
times of the year may not be agreeable
to me, but as an individual l should
abide by the law adapted to the
masses. The individual must act in
unison with the faithful whole to be
good Democrat"
Judge Bledsoe of San Bernardino
followed Judge Black with short
address on the principles of democ-
racy.
II. NJ. Mcdonald, secretary of the
club, introduced a resolution which
was adopted regarding the attendance
of the Los Angeles Democrats at the
state conference to be held in San

ance of the local Democrats at the

Travelled with Best

L. j. Scott pleaded guilty in Police
Judge Roses court yesterday to en-
bezzling 20 cents from the Globe Dairy
restaurant near Fourth and Spring
streets, where he was employed as an
attendant, and was sentenced to pay
fine of $50 or serve the alternate of
ninety days in the city Jail,
According to the manager of the
restaurant. who swore to the COM
plant against Scott, the latter was
suspected for some time, but not un-
til two marked dimes were placed in
the cash register was he detected
These coins were found in the possess
sion of the accused
The police records show that Scott
formerly served a term in the Yuma
penitentiary for grand larceny. He
confessed to having stolen from his
employer, and said he usually took
81 a day when business was quiet and
more when there was an unusual
amount of trade.
Scott told the officers that his down
fall is due to the fact that he went in
good society and lived beyond his
means. He was unable to pay his
fine and accepted the Jail sentence.

YUMA PROJECT BOOKLET
READY FOR DISTRIBUTION
Uncle Sans Government Sends lnfor-
nation About irrigation from
Laguna Dam to Citizens

The reclamation service Of the United
States government has opened a pub
licity campaign for number of its
irrigation projects, among them being
the Yuma project affecting lands on
either side of the Colorado river in
Yuma county, Ariz., and in Riverside
county, this state. Their first booklet
is a work of forty pages and it con-
tains more boiled-down information
than is usually put into a book of its
size Indeed, it is hard to think of
any subject that has not been touched
upon i'm the book. Best les calculating
the manner i'm which lands may be
taken up under the project, the scope
of the laws governing and the possi-
bilities of extension of the water sys-
TEN to surrounding lands, the book
takes up in detail practically every
product adapted to the soil irrigable
from the Laguna dam. Land values
are touched upon, climatic and socio-
logical conditions, schools, mining,
markets, amusements, in fact, every
side of life of the prospective settler
is given attention.
AS an adjunct to marketing infor-
nation the book dwells at length upon
the comparative yields of various
crops giving results in dollars and
cents it tells farmers how to till the
soil, how to prepare it for planting
and how to plant and cultivate. This
data is compiled from data secured by
the governments own experts in the
field.
The back of this book contains a
folded map of the project, showing
section lines and canals, together with
the Laguna and the dam of the same
name. Rail lines on both sides of the
Colorado river are shown and the ella
and Colorado rivers are given in de-
tail. The first CONSIGNMENT of these
books has been received by the in
formation bureau at COO South Spring
street and are for free distribution.
