PLEASED WITH YAQU|
 RIVER DELTA PLAN
lDoaglas Iaternalionan.


 s. M Mclaughlin anu J. G. George returned last night from a trip to the Yaqui river delta where they had been over the great irrigation project which is being perfected in the rich bottom lands of that district. They were both enthusiastic over what they saw on their trip and believe that tho Yaqui river delta win be one of the greatest agricultural districts h North America.
 T have been fussing around holes in the ground for a good many years now" said S. M Mclaughlin last night. and the trip we have just talk en has shown me where got off wrong. The Yaqui river irrigation project is certainly a great one and the land Is wonderful in its rich pro ductiveness. It is a great country. %
 Project still Grows
 To one who was over the country three years ago as was the writer
 
 time seem remarkable. Then the proj ect was just outlined and work only just started on an irrigation ditch above Corral on the Ysqui river That ditch has been completed for forty miles at this time. It is of an aver age width of forty feet and is thir- teen feet in depth. From this. big ditch there are now over 200 miles of laterals and subditches and by this scheme 62.e00 acres are under irri- gation. This. however, is not the big project When the general idea is carried out to completion there will be over 100000 acres of irrigahle land ready for occupation. The big part of the project is the building of a re- taining dam some 90 miles above Cor ral. When this is completed there will be wonderful empire open for agriculture.
 T do not wonder the Yaquls fought so long and so fiercely for these lands for they are certainly worth fighting for. Of course. it Is the ingenuity of the Americans who have undertaken this great work and the American capital with which it is being done that will make this agricultural em- pire. but the richness and fertility have always been there" Mir Nc aughlin added

Will Protect Water Power.

WASHINGTON, May S.-Leaders in
the conserv alton movement have lined
w for a determined fight to defeat any
me as before congress that seeks to
overtake the conservation policy for
the public control Of water power In
navigable rivers.
Conserv ationists have made vtgor-
Gus opposition, especially against tie
Stone bill in thu senate, which pro
poses to dan the james river in Mis-.
souri, for the purpose Of generating
electric power. The bill, it is claimed
by the conservationists, gives to the
grantee "a valuable privilege which
by its very nature is monopolistic.'
One of the principal arguments
brought against the bill is that It is
identical with the one vetoed by Presi.
dent Roosevelt because it would have
granted a monopolistic privilege.

pie had been utterly broken Weathers-

on his famous gray horse and stopped
in front Of the generals tent.
"How dare you ride up to my tent
after having murdered the women and
