Jackson, Miss, Jan. 22-Tha. 1iSnI
sissippi's senatorial deadlock w
broken before the close of the cd
week is the confident prediction
made around the state house a
hotel Hobbies today
1t is stated that the opposite
dates are evincing the ''get-tog(
spirit, and that one of their n
will be selected before the wee
es to make single-handed fight
Ex-Governor Vardaman, the plurality
candidate, for the unexpired term Of
McLaurin.
The opposite candidates are appar-
emily more sanguine today than they
have been at any time since the fight
started. and on all sides confidenee IL
being expressed that any one of thaiA
number can vanquish vardaman in a
plain showdown" before the Demo
cratic caucus.
Just how they intend to start the
elimination process, or who they will
select for the object of concentration
of strength is not explained, and none
of the candidates are willing tc ven
ture opinions on the subject. They
frankly admit that their prime pur-.
pose is to defeat vardaman, and,
while each doubtless hopes to be the
victor. neither of them will hesitate
on the sacrifice of personal ambition
when the proper moment for the final
fight is reached, it is said
Can't Best vardaman.
The vardaman followers, on the
other hand, assert with confidence.
that it cannot be accomplished: that
it will be utterly impossible for the
conservatives to get together: that
if a process of elimination is ever at
tempted it will send legislators pell-
nell into the Vardaman camp. and add
sufficiently to his strength to insure
nomination; that with eighteen more
votes he can achieve an easy victory.
and they have pledged not less than
thirty members who will vote for VAR
daman as their second choice.
These two views of the conflict are
in violent conflict, and which is cor
rect as matter that only time can
tell.
In event the senatorial deadlock re-
mains unbroken, it can be predicted
with certainty that at least three Of
the six opposing candidates will sub
nit their claims to the people. The
friends of Messrs. Leroy Percy. c. H.
Alexander and Adam Byrd. assert
that their respective favorites. not
only intend to submit their claims to
the primary, but will insist that Var,
daman meet them in joint debate and
discuss the political issues OF the day:

CHEAP RESERVOIR WATER

We publish the following COM
munication from Anderson, Ord
& Swope for the benefit of the
farmers in this vicinity. The
rates made by the reservoir COM
pany appear to us to be so rea-
sonable that any farmer needing
water cannot afford to let this
opportunity pass without taking
advantage Of it. The communi-
cation follows:
Denver, July %, 1910.
To the Water Users along the La
Jara and Alamosa Rivers =
While in La Jara the past week
we made a proposition to some
of you that we would enter into
contract with you covering
period of five years, furnishing
water from the La Jara Reser-
voir for one irrigation per year,
to consist of four inches of water
over each acre, for one dollar per
acre each year.
At no other place in Colorado,
to our knowledge, is water fur
nished at anything like this rate.
In all developing schemes that
have been carried through for the
last five or six years, the farmer
has bought the water, and has
agreed to pay maintenance tax
for bitches and dams at the rate
of Sl.50 to $1.75 per acre for
each acre that he owns, per an
mum. This tax is to be paid
whether the water is furnished
or not. By that ] mean if the
snow is not in the mountains to
furnish the water for the sum
mer's use, the reservoir and land
companies expect their mainte-
nance tax to be paid just the
same, whereas the proposition
that we make to you is, that if
you will put in a given number
of acres under five year con
tract, we Will furnish water for
these acres at one dollar per year,
and if we are unable to do SO
we will not ask pay for same.
If there should be any land
lying north of the AlamOsa river
east of Capulin, needing water,
we can very easily turn water in
to the Alamosa river at that point.
We do not look upon it as being
necessary to have an agent to go
among you and talk to you in
connection with this, as you know
what you want, and if you want
to enter into this contract with
us you can call a meeting at La
Jara which we will attend, and
outline any further details that
you may want to know.
Yours truly,
ANDERSON, ORD & SWOPE.

TWO BLADES OF
GRASS WHERE WE ARE
NOW GROWING ONE.

Recently about every one who
can spare the time from the lllu-
sive race of garnering enough
round dollars to meet current
expenses has been devoting ener-
gy and brain to solving the prob
lem, why is it that it costs so
much to live" The Congress
grappled with it in very much of
grand stand play-but High
Cost never batted an eye. The
many remedies suggested remind
us very much of the countless
cures for misunderstanding work
in some cases, but this particular
case is different.
Right off the bat saIaried peo-
pie want their wages raised, so
that we can pay the increased cost
of living. But plainly this would
not help the situation ultimately,
because if we further increased
the cost of manufacture the man
ufacturer must again raise his
prices. and we would be back a
gain to where we started.
\ tangible ray of solution has
been sprung by Mr.. William c.
Brown, president Of the New
York Central railroad, in the cur
rent issue OF The Independent,
wherein he suggests that the rem
edy for the present high cost OF
living is to get more out OF the
land. I'VE have been failing
lately in agriculture. says Mr..
Brown. During the last ten
years our farms have produced an
average yield Of wheat amounting
to only IA bushels to the acre.
Mr.. Brown S solution looks
good. for evidently, if we can
make two blades of grass grow
where we are only growing one
now. the cost per head for pas
turing will Of necessity become
cheaper.
In line with this thought II is
well worth while to turn to the
tremendous Importance of irri-
gated lands. Last years report
of the United States Department
of Agriculture shows that the av-
erage yield of wheat per acre in
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Wis
consin and Minnesota was about
1874 bushels per acre, while the
average yield in Colorado was
over "a bushels per acre, and
this acreage was considerably low
cred because dry farming acre
age was taken into the general
total. AS IA matter of record ir-
rigated lands yield an average of
about 40 bushels of wheat per
acre.
Potatoes in Colorado show an
average yield Of 122 bushels per
acre. while seven other large po-
ldlO- producing Stdt'S 'i''" an =" ~
erage of S312 bushels per acre.
This same relative production
per acre is shown in many other
things that we eat.
1t seems to us that the irrigat-
ed fertile fields of the Rockies
hold the solution of the High
Cost of Living problem.
In this great west there are ir-
rigated lands for many, many
thousands of families and the
present widespread interest in
them is sure to have beneficial
effect on our national develop
ment and happiness.

Ry one OF its citizens who will be re-

Thule OF mountain climbing ambition tor

Salt Lake. And that he is loyal to his
home city. and determined that VI shall
receive whatever reflected glory from his
achievement there may be going around
is shown by the fact that he voluntarily
has demanded that Salt Lake be stated

upon him made by oveT-2ealouS Seattle
