Census Enumerators for Rock

NUMBER VACANCIES EXIST
Papers of Candidates Not Yet Passed
Upon by Department Officials
at Washington.

R. r. Wallace of Hamilton, super
visor of the census for the district
comprising Rock Island county, has
announced his appointments. 1t will
be noted that there are several enumT
Grafton districts for which appointees
have not been named. 1T should be
borne in mind that it is possible that
there are candidates for these
places whose papers are accept
able" Mr.. Wallace states, ''Dut
that they have not been reached
by the department at Washington, and
that no appointment is approved by
the department at Washington until
clerk of the department has exam
ined the test papers of all applicants
for that particular enumeration dis
trict.
And another point: In many or
these enumeration districts there were
two or more candidates who wrote
splendid papers. The appointment
could only go to one of the applicants,
and the fact that an applicant did not
receive the appointment should not
be accepted as proof that his papers
were not good, or that he or she was
not considered worthy. Every appli-
cant may be sure of this, however, that
the department at Washington is maxi
ing 1t a serious business to see that
no favoritism is shown

Agreement Reached Where
by Settlers Will Assume
Control of System.

AS a result of a conference Sat
urday between l.. A. Trowbridge OF
Chicago and the committee repre-
senting the water users under the
Canyon canal, an agreement was
reached for the transfer of the irri-
cation system to the settlers. The
only step necessary to consummate
the deal is the ratification by the
state land board.
The terms of the agreement are
substantially as follows: That in
consideration of the settlers taking
over the canal and assuming the
local Indebtedness the Canyon Can
al company will turn over securltles
of the value of $4,000.

Bonds Can Be Sold.

In an interview with Mr.. Trow
bridge in regard to the sale OF
the bonds, which the irrigation dis.
trlct proposes to issue, he stated
that he believed there would be nc
difficulty in finding a ready mar
ket for them. A strong point in
favor of these bonds is that the
system is completed, the water is
on the land and a large portion of
the land under cultivation and hav-
ing very substantial Improvements.
As securieites they are gilt edge.
A few days ago, in a statement Civ
en- to the press, F. H. Buhl, whose
dealings in irrigation bonds has
been continuous since the first pro-
ject was started in this state under
the Carey act until this time, stated
that ''the time was PASSED when
the public would take that class of.
bends prior to the watering of the
land. 1t was necessary, therefore,
to provide the means from other
sources and hold the securities un-
til the public would take them in
the confidence that would be inspir-
ed by virtue of the actual applica-
tion of the water"
Commenting on this statement,
the Statesman says: THAT states
the situation in a nutshell. 1t ex-
n1qinc tho +f,-ir ~, II
rigation securities. The bonds with |
unwatered land behind them can no |
longer be disposed of in the usual |
way. Certain interests must hold |
1hem until they have ripened. so to
speak, meantime putting up the mon
ey for construction. If this money
shall be Forthcoming development
will proceed. for it is actual con-
structiOn that counts, after all, ir-
respective of the modus operandi of
handling the bonds"
Under these circumstances. no
matter whether the money market is
tight or not, bonds having as securi-
ty valuable improved fruit lands
such as is under the Canyon cansl Il
irrigation system, will at once find /:
favor with investors. n
The final settlement of this long d,
drawn out controversy is a matter I
for congratulation to the Emmett
even though the water
users did not secure as much as
they desired or what they were en-
titled to. But it is plain the set
.lement is the best that could have
been made under the circumstances.
t is easy TO look back and see the
mistakes that have been made in
he past-but let's forget them.
The future will demand all our at n
ention, and united and harmonious L
'ction will be necessary to meet e
he problems that are ahead of us. V
