With proper drainage and irrigation
We could save millions In the State

The small experiments we were
able able to carry on last year In the

the plans without charge and see to
practical demonstration of the
work.

In Southern irrigation and drainage
problems was greatly augmented by
the work Of the recent Irrigation
Congress In the West. which was at
tended by Commissioner Watson and
large delegation from this State.
He was made one of the vice presi-
dents OF the Convention. and went to
Washington Immediately after the
Convention to interest the division of

EXTENDS WELCOME TO ZELAYA.
Six Hundred Cheer Exiled Executive
and Show Resentment Towards
the United States.

Mexico City. Dec. 29.-Jose Santos
zelaya. self-styled "titular president"
Of Nicaragua, arrived in this city to-
day. No Mexican officials met him.
He was, however. greeted by 600
Central Americans and Mexicans who
welcomed the deposed executive with
cries OF Long live Zeiaya," Long
live Mexico" and Down with the
Yankees!'
Despite the fact that he had re-
signed the presidency Of Nicaragua,
witnessed the election of his success
sor by congress and sought refuge
on the Mexican vessel with the
promise that he would never return
to the land which had to all intents
anu purposes expelled him, Zelaya
repeated the assertion that he was
still the, head Of the Nicaraguan
government. To avoid confusion he
has adopted the title of "titular
president"
II am out Of politics and possibly
will engage In business in Mexico"
said Zeyla.
'The character of the business
have not yet determined" Zelaya
indicated his intention to remain in
Mexico and said that he would bring
his family here. He added that he
was going house hunting at once.
OF the future Of Nicaragua, it's
former executive said:
"The only way to prevent contin-
ued disturbances throughout Central
America will be found in the con-
solidation of all the republics. Now
is as good time as any for the Uni
ted States and Mexico to engage in
a friendly intervention with this end
In view. believe that it will be
possible to secure as the head Of
this proposed consolidation a good
man and one acceptable to ALL"
He did not care to say who, IL
any one. he had in mind for this Of
hce.
