| The Chicago contemporary Is right,
more especially in its suggestion that
the grand jury should prod deeply
into the wider conditions of which
the lynching was merely 'symp-
tom" The worst that could possibly
happen TO Cairo now would be that
the grand jury took up the considera,
ton of those wider conditions in a
half-hearted way and failed to do
something that would lead to correc
ton. A mere trimming the scollops
Of the fringe. leaving the body OF the
dirty garment untouched, would be a
victory for the eorruptionists who
have held sway in this community for
years, greater than the most impu-
dent among them could have hoped
for. 1t stands to reason that this
work. The big fellows have stood in
the background. as they always do
everywhere: their tracks" are care
fully covered up. and when a storm
bursts the little fellows" who have
been doing the dirty work" but We're
not the CHIEF beneficiaries, are the first
victins-sometimes the only victims
To avoid this deep blowing" is
necessary, and it may be necessary
to pillow" several times over the
same ground in order to make the
yield what it should be. $50
1t may be that the Citizens League
would be better able to cope with
some of these matters in their pre-
urinary stages, being organized for
that purpose with all the requisites
necessary for the work; but The BuI
letin has fun confidence in the pres
emf grand jury. feeling sure that if ii
goes into the matter referred to at
all it will do so with the determine
tion to accomplish something worth
while.

"CAiRo's OPPORTUNITY"

Under the above heading yester-
days Chicago ReeQrd-Herald com
mented upon the special grand jury
now in session here as follows;
The special grand jury summoned
at Cairo to investigate the recent
|lynchings has issued subpoenas for
every city official, for every county
official and for several other persons
whose presence it deems desirable.
This puts an end to the rumors
that mum was to be the word at Cairo
about all that has happened.
Also it makes an excellent begin
ming with work of municipal and
county housekeeping which is evi.
IDENTIFY much needed. ~ .s.sS.
f the:gfand jury goes deep into
the situation, considering the lynch
ings first as crimes in themselves and
then, secondly, as symptomatic of
conditions that foster crime, and if
it will prod these wider conditions to
the bottom it may succeed in bringing
good out OF evil, to Cairo's great flu
ture profit.
1t cannot do this by halfway meas
ures. 1t cannot do it by just touch
ing the surface of evil and lodging
whenever prominent citizens name
is mentioned. 1t cannot do it by Civ
ing more emphasis to excess than to
faults. It can only DO it by combin-
ing much yigor with more courage I'M
der the deliberate resolve that no
guilty man, no matter what the nature
of his guilt. shall escape"

BIG IRRIGATION PROJECT
IN YUMA COUNTY, ARR.

Yuma, Ariz. NOV. 1O.-Quictly and
Systematically there has been in prog
ress during the past year the organ
ization of a vast irrigation project by
which thousands of acres are TO be
reclaimed in Yuma and Maricopa
counties, involving the expenditure Of
several million dollars, making il by
far the premier of any irrigation pro-
ject yet conceived in this section.
Water ana canal rights have been Sc
cured, dam sites selected and plans
mapped for beginning of operations
in the near future.
The qualifications Of this project
began just across the Maricopa coun-
ty line. at ella Bend, and extend
along the ella river to Mohawk in
Yuma county, 1t is purposed to take
up the abandoned south ella canal
project, which had its inception about
fifteen years ago, and was a failure
because of defective engineering and
calculations.

POTATOES WIN IN
THE WILLARD
DISTRICT
Surprising Results from Eight
Acres in Spite Of the Dry Sea-
son; Net Profit $50 Per Acre.

In spite of a season of almost CON
%tinual drouth potatoes have made
good this season in the Estancia val
ley and the results from some of the
carefully cultivated farms are sur
prislng, reaching as high as $50 an
acre net with about half IA stand
throughout the valley.
b. O. Wright Of the Morning Journ
al who owns n. farm near willard, re-
ceived a letter yesterday from Joe
Sans, owning the adjoining farm in
which the latter states that from q
half stand of potatoes he has harvest
ed 1900 pounds, from a tract of
eight acres, The net profit to Mr..
Sans from this crop is $50 per acre.
Four acres of potatoes on the Wright
farm adjoining. which did not have
careful cultivation, did almost equal
" as wei. This is but an instance Of
what has been done in the Estancia
valley this season, Tho potato crop
has been splendid all up M down the
valley wherever the crop has been
carefully tended.
G.. II. Van Stone of the Hughes
Mercantile company ut E%stancia has
just completed a shipment OF LOCO
of potatoes which Win be exhibited in
the New Mexico space at h United
States Land and irrigation exposition
in Chicago which opens November 20.
These potatoes are the equal of any
grown in the west and are certain to
attract attention.
The past season has finally demon
etrutel m. a~dantnhiHtV of the EStan-
cia valley to potato culture and is
likely to lead mex season to the plant
ing uf a very extensive acreage.

Elliott farm in the Bethel community,

deep. and Yields from 1850 to 1850
gallons per minute by actual measure.
Enclosed find postcard photograph of

AZ against this government circular,
therefore. we desire to submit the
following facts. "a No geological
survey Of the Portales valley has been
made recently ana no sue survey
even attempted by Mr.. Meinzer. (2)
Mr.. Meinzer's guess is d~iscredited,
first by the fact that he expressly de-
clarad himself as believing the water
supply sufficient and practically mex
haustible: and. second. by the fact
that he saw but one test made and
that one diametrically ~eontradicting
the conclusions Of this alleged geo.
logical survey. go Mr.. F.. f.. Fuller
Of the agricultural department m To-
Gated at Phoenix, Ariz, who perhaps
has no superior on pumping PROPOSE
tions for irrigation, has made a study
Of the water supply round Portales
and has given us his unqualified as
surancc of the sufhciency of the water
supply here, giving it as his conviction
that it exceeded that of Garden City,
Kan. Furthermore. he publicly de-
clared that the Portales valley af-
forded one Of the most splendid OPP |
.portunities for irrigation by means of |
a central electric power plant to be |
found in the whole United states. He |
came to Portales and spent some ten |
days studying the plant which is to be |
installed here; acted as attorney for |
the farmers in this vicinity in draft
ing the contract with the Western |
Construction company of Wichita, |
Kan, and volunteered to make the |
statements referred to. "a Finally, |
we submit the facts Of the recent tests |
which are set out above and which |
are to continue for the next thirty

to produce an example of high
er capacity test OF water supply.
