An incident which goes to
show the difference in the size
of the present day Grand valley
orchards and what rIiey were
few years ago, is found in the
books OF the Grand Valley Irri-
cation company. Four years
ago, when the valley seemed
then to many to be quite thickly
populated, that is when the irri-
gable land appeared to be thor
oughly utilized, there were 900
stockholders in the irrigation
company.
Yesterday when Secretary A. o.
Peery compiled the mailing list for
the annual notice of assessment he
discovered that there were 1,158
stockholders, or an increase of ESQ
water users in four years. The stock
then was all sold so that the addi-
tonal list is due to the division and
subdivision of orchards, which pos
sessed water rights. Each year the
general tendency is to cut down the
size of an orchard, which one man
expects to take care of, and also to
use less water each year on the same
acreage. The average stockholding
is now 10 inches and good percent
age Of this amount is rented to other
land owners, SO that land which was
irrigated by two or three inches to
the acre, ten years ago. is now wat
cred by 1-2 or 1-3 of an inch.

PURCELL MADE
STRONG Speech
MADE A VIGOROUS ATTACK ON
MERGER PROVISIONS or
a RAILROAD BILL.

Washington, April Ex-senator w. z.
Purcell made a big impression in his
maiden speech in the senate yesterday
on the railroad bill
Senator Purcell, of North Dakota,
sharply criticised the president and the
attorney general. He virtually charged
purpose of so transforming the SUI
preme court as to insure such con-
struction of the proposed law as to
supplant and nullify antagonistic state
laws and state constitutions.
He was dealing with the merger
provisions of the bill and having stated
that the North Dakota state consti-
tuition prohibited the consolidation of
railroad lines, contended that under
the decisions of the supreme court it
had held In effect that questions of
this character were rubject to state
control.
1t must be apparent to everyone"
he proceeded, that when the presi-
dent and the attorney general drafted
this law they were familiar with ex-
listing laws in relation to the matter
covered by section IL. 1t is fair to
assume that they put 1t in the bill be-
cause they wanted to see 1t become
law. Section IL, If enacted would con-
fiict with the decisions mentioned.
The Supreme Court.
1T become operative only in one
way. OF the members Of the supreme
court which decided the Louisville and
Nashville case, only three are now on
the bench, and two are advanced in
years and are now entitled to their
retirement. The court is In lament
able condition. Two vacancies now
practically exist. Two more soon win
exist in the natural course OF events.
This will make at least four appoint
ments that the president viii have to
make.
Having the power to appoint the
members of his court, who finally de-
termine the law upon all questions. he
has the opportunity to appoint those
whose sentiments in regard to the
section 10 accord with his. The at
torney general would, no doubt, grace
the supreme bench. If he were an
pointed, would he not support his own
handiwork
How easy it would be for the presi-
dent, through his new appointees. to
bring change In existing law, and to
foist upon the people the provisions OF
section IL as the law of the land.
