Supervisor Marvin to appear
before the Supreme Court on the
9Th of November to show cause
why they should not be punished
for contempt of court. Super
visor Kent was not cited for the
reason that in the proceedings
he had voted to accept the bid of
Olcester. The other two super
visors claimed at the time that
they had acted in good faith aud
had endeavored to expedite the
erection of the court house but
had been hampered by the badly
drawn court house bill.
On Tuesday afternoon Mr..
Molloy wired the clerk of the
Supreme court at Phoenix di-
recting him not to file the cita-
ton against the supervisors
named, evidently becoming con-
vlnced that the board was sin
cere in it's statements regarding
the construction of the building.

THE COURT HOUSE MIDDLE.

Yuma County's court house
would seem to be still u posses
sion of the future. At 10 O'Clock
Saturday, the time set for the
opening of bids for construction
of the building, no bids had been
received by the clerk Of the
board. Charles Chester, Yuma
contractor, offered to file bid
at ten minutes past 10, but the
board voted not to receive it at
that time, and it was decided to
readvertise for bids. December
3, 1909, at 10 a. m, was the time
fixed for the opening of these
new bids, in the Office of the
board.
Following the adjournment of
the board an affidavit was filed
by Attorney II. ID. MOlloy stat
ing that the supervisors had not
obeyed the mandate of the SUI
preme Court in the matter of the
erection of the court house; that
they were evading the same, and
citing Chairman ShauSSey and

Black Bass in the Colorado.

Votaries of the rod and reel
will perhaps be surprised to learn
that the Colorado river has be-
come an adopted home for a
highlyprized species of the game
fish known as the big mouth"
black bass, usually found only
in the clearest of streams. Some
seven or eight years ago Capt.
Isaac Polhamus received con-
signment of black bass from the
government hatcheries and fol-
lowing instructions of the fish
commissioner, planted the
scaly beauties in the Colorado
river, at Needles. Only recently
has it become known that any
of them survived to perpetuatt
their species. Within the past
few weeks Yuma parties visiting
the Laguna dam report having
seen a considerable number of
black bass in the clear, settled
water above the dam, though
so far, we believe, none has been
caught. A Young Isaak Walton
we used to know once said:
"There's only one thing that
ever thrilled me more than try
ing to snare and land a black
bass after he got to fooling with
the bate on my hook; and that
was the first kiss | ever had
square on the mouth from the
girl [ love-"

Council Proceedings

The regular monthly session
of the town council was held on
Tuesday night at the town hall
on Main street, Mayor Shanssey
and Councilmen Parks, Peterson,
Splitter, Dunno and Potter being
present. A large amount of rou-
tine business was disposed of,
including the auditing of about
81, 900 in bills, which were order
ed paid.
The sewer committee reported,
recommending the enlargement
of the outfall sewer between the
sump at the foot Of Main street
and the river. 1t was decided
that the committee should confer
with the S. P. railroad, to the
end that a contract should be
drawn by which q larger sewer
should be built, the cost to be
shared by the company and the
town. The health. officer, DR..
ApJohn, reported that sewer
connection had not been made
by certain property owners, in
defiance of the law. 1t was
moved and seconded that such
connection must be made within
fifteen days or process of law
would ensue.
The selling of block 121 at
auction, no bid for less than $1,000

to the street committee.
Assessment on block 173, the
of J. NJ. Molina, was
reduced to one-third of the orr
ginal amount, for the reason that
a large part of the land washed
into the river during the heavy
rains of last summer.

STUPFNDOUS
EXPENDITURES
In Reclamation Work; a Sum
Nea 'ly Equal to Cost of the
Panama Canal

The reclamation of our arid
lands will ultimately involve an
expenditure equal to that made
for the Panama canal, and there
are many who believe that in
making OR barren lands pro-
ductive and placing worthy set
tiers thereon the venture will
prove of even greater economic
value to the country than the
piercing of the isthmus.
When the present undertake
ings are completed they will
embrace and reclaim in all 2, 800, :
900 acres, at an estimated cost
of S89, 500, 900. Other and great
er projects remain to be inaugu-
rated. Some of these will in
volve the the utilizing power for
pumping purposes, and in some
instances drainage will ultimate
ly become an incident.
The fruits of this movement
will set at rest the apprehensions
of those who fear that the coun-
try will ere long be compelled to
import wheat. Irrigated lands
produce on an average exceeding
thirty bushels of wheat per acre;
but figured on that average yield
the 1000, 900 acres to be reclaim
ed on the projects now being
worked out may be made to pro-
duce quite as much wheat as the
total present production of the
United States.
The aggregate amount of land
which may be reclaimed by the
availacje water supply when
utilized to the fullest extent is
variously estimated from 10000
900 to 80, 600, 900 acres. The total
amount to be reclaimed is de-
pendent upon the economic util-
ity Of pumping by water power
and storage upon elevated areas.
AS the lands of the great Miss
issippi valley become more gen
orally devoted to intensive farm
ing and dairy products, the coun-
try may look with confidence to
the reclaimed American desert
as an unfaillng source of wheat
supply.
The United States government
lands now valueless, or at best
only useful for grazing purposes,
quickly attain unusual value
when water is supplied for arti-
fetal irrigation. In some in
stances the irrigated lands have
increased from nothing to a
ready market price ranging from
500 to $1,000 per acre.

u. S. Land and
Irrigation Exposition

Chicago, October q.
Err. F. L. Sellew,
Project Engineer,
Yuma, Arizona.
Dear Sir: The United States
Land and Irrigation Exposition,
to be held In the Coliseum, Chi
cago, Ills, November 20 to De-
cember 4, and the International
Live Stock Exposition Novern-
Der % to December 5, will be at
tended by several hundred thous-
and people who Are interested in
irrigated lands. The reclama-
ton service will participate in
these expositions by giving illus
trated lectures on the work of
the service and will have on dis
play numerous colored transpar-
encies representing engineering
features of various projects and
scenes on irrigated farms.
1t is proposed to take advant-
age of the opportunity afforded
by these expositions to adver-
tise the lands under reclamation
projects. A branch of the Rec
lamation Settlement Section has
been established in Chicago, in
room 8O2, Federal Building.
where a creditable exhibit of
colored pictures, photographs,
and products of irrigated lands,
will be installed. The Yuma
project should be represented in
this exhibit, aud this letter is to
solicit your co operation in Sc
curing small samples of fruit,
grain and other farm products.
The fruit should be inclosed in
glass jars, attractively labeled.
[ wish to request that you take
the matter up with your local
chamber of commerce or other
representative body and ship to
me as soon as possible, charges
prepaid, the exhibits that can be
furnished. AS more exhibits
will probably be received than
can be displayed, we will use our
best judgment in making such
selection as may be necessary.
We are planning. also, to keep
a file of newspapers published in
the various projects, as we'll as
irrigation and farm journals, and
these will be accessible to the
large number of persons who will
visit the office. Please suggest
to the papers in your locality
that they place the name of Mr..
J. C. Waite, Settlement Agent,
on their free mailing list for that
purpose.
Very truly yours,

safe to say that at least 05 per cent of

this fall and it's effect upon the pros

In the light of these figures it is not
surprising that towns are springing

are making their appearance with
such rapidity as to confuse and be-
wilder one who attempts to keep in

SENATOR CARTER DEFENDS
Says Duty On Hides Is Necessary To The
Farmer.

Says Duty On Hides Is Necessary To The
Farmer.
Washington, June 21.-The amend
ment OF the senate committee on
finance, taking hides from the free list
and restoring the Dingley law rate
OF Is per cent, adj valorem, was before
the senate all day, and it probably
will not be disposed Of before late to-
morrow.
Senator Warren of Wyoming and
Senator Carter of Montana supported
the provision and in vigorous Ian
guage attacked the attitude Of the
free hide advocates, while Senator
Page of Vermont defended the action
of the house on the placing of hides
on the free list. Mr.. Warren declared
that the senate had been insulted by
the charge that the Dingley provision
had been inserted as the result of
midnight conference and he decla red
that free raw material would be the
death knell Of the protective policy
it it should be adopted, while Mr.. Car
ter asserted that if the farmers were
to be compelled to sell their products
in the open market, they would de-
mand the right to buy manufactured
articles in the same kind of market.
In support of free hides, Mr.. Page
commended that the adoption of such
apolicy would not injure the farmers.
while at the same time it would be of
benefit to the leather manufacturers.

FOR TAX ON CORPORATIONS
Taft Is Confident That It viii Pass the Sen.
ate, Will Bring In Much Money.

-
Washington, June 21.-Mr. Taft is
decidedly optimistic over the outlook
forhiscorporation tax, but a numberof
senators who called at the White house
today declared that the proposition
would keep the senate i'm session until
long past August /. Senator Elkins,
who was one OF the callers, believes
all corporations would attempt to
avoid payment of the tax.
President Taft, on the other hand,
does not believe that a per cent tax
on net earnings is heavy enough to
make any Of the larger corporations
advert to evasive measures.
Attorney General Wickersham and
Senator Root are jointly preparing
draft of the new law. There seems to
be little doubt but that the corporation
tax as passed will exempt earnings Of
$4,000 and less, so as to take undue bur-
dens off the smaller corporations.
This is the under standing in til e
White no Use.
The collection Of the proposed cor
pOratiOn tax would be under the direc.
ton of the internal revenue bureau,
and it would fall to this latter bureau
to keep an eye on the corporations as
to any evasive measures they might
adopt. The method Of collection
would be similar to that employed in
collecting the whiskey tax.
