Phoenix, January 31, 1910. Editor Arizona Gazette.
 Dear Sir: We beg permission to an- swer the questions of Mr. Clarence Rous- seau, put to the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, in letter addressed to you, and published in vOur issue of January 29. Inasmuch as these questions have been asked in public manner, we presume that a public answer is desired.
 "1 The Pacific Gas and Electric Com pany is convinced that it has given square deal to the people of Phoenix. because it has rendered efficient service, followed progressive policy, charged rates as low as local conditions and sound management would warrant, and has materially reduced these rates, despite heavy increases in the prices of nearly everything else which can be bought and sold.
 go The City of Phoenix is 450 miles from the oil-producing regions of Califor mia. In less than four years the price of oil laid down at our plant has advanced from $l.21 to $1.6S barrel, an increase of go per cent. Our gas is made from this oil, but we have succeeded in cutting the price of gas 10 per cent-tO $1SO per thousand cubic feet. If we can help it, we do not propose to be drawn into a discussion of relative high prices of commodities ill gen eral at Phoenix, nor into discussion of freight rates, because we do not want to say one word which might be construed as knocking" this vicinity.

GOVERNMENT WILL
SOON KNOW RESULT OF
PROCLAMATION WORK
Farmers and Settlers Will Soon be Required
to Make Payments on Various Projects

the Shoshone in Wyoming and the
Huntley and Sun River in Montana,
it is predicted that every farmer
will meet his obligations.
The payment--of their indebted
ness will probably be the most i'm
portant single event in the history
of National irrigation. There never
has been any doubt as to the COM
potency of the engineers to con-
struct the projects, but doubt has
been expressed as to whether the
government could get it's money
back.
The dollars of the successful
farmers in the district will be
the answer and the vindication of
the reclamation law.
There have been failures. as it
was inevitable there should be, but
the absolute failures and the aban-
donments have been surprisingly
few,
In numerous instances those who
under estimated the task or came
without experience or sufficient
funds were able to retire without
serious loss. In numerous other
instances, many retired with some
gain, but the greatest number of
failures wak found among those
who took up the projects never in
tending to use themselves, but to
speculate for profits on bona fide
home makers who came later.
Where the reclamation service
finds that "a failure has been due
to conditions not under the con-
troll of the settler, it is possible
that some way may be found tc
