DEEP MUD
Causes Annoyance and Delay to Rural
Carriers.

The mud on the country roads has
been causing the rural free delivery
carriers more trouble during the past
few days than did the heaviest snow
storms of the winter. Carrier Will

it impossible to get through with his

some places along the shore line and
in coyes.
Association Plan Works Well

are the two towns that have adopted
this means and aid to the successful
running of their teams for the COM
ing season. While Wauregan has no
association, the team has the moral
support of the entire village popula-
ton and it may be safely said that
about everyone has an interest in the
team and wants to see it win The
home association plan has worked so
well in Grosvenordale. Putnam and
Dayville that the other towns are get

would not play unless we could be
pitcher. Since we have grown up we
find that many Of us have not got over
the habit we won't play. 1t crops out
in church, in lodges. in enterprises. AS
long as we can run things we will stay
in the game When some other fellow
gets hold of the lines it is different.
The trouble is too many of us imagine
we are cut out for generals when we
were intended for privates. Some times
the wrong man gets to be general, but
lit rarely occurs that the wrong man
is private. In every town you con find
men sulking in their tent like Achilles
of old. but just inquire into the mat
ter a little and you will find out their
grievance is because they can not run
everything. The only consolation a
sulker gets is to see some other fellow
take his place and do the work great
deal better than he could Don't be a
sulker. If you can't pitch then get out
and play right field, and if you can't
do that, carry the bats If you are the
best pitcher in town the people will
soon find it out, and you won't have
to carry bats any longer.

Believe in Conservation,
Progress and Development

Iposes of the present day and for gen
ierations TO come, including Wle oper
alton of all the railroads and irriga
tion projects we shall ever need. all
the manufacturing we shall lever dc
and all the cities we shall ever build
The water power is so great that II
10000 horsepower of it on an average
should be developed every year, il
would take 2,40O years before all Of
Iit would be in use. and when once in
use it would be so for all time. If we
were to harness 100000 horsepower a
year, It would require more than 24O
years to develop all of it.
Water powers are local and con-
fined in their operation to compara-
lively small areas. Each community
needs power to manufacture its raw
materials. II the land upon which
these powers are located is restored to
entry under existing laws, the titles
for the most part will go to bona fide
settlers living in the several commu-
mites, and will largely be developed
by local capital. Water powers on pub
lie lands are not located in cities, but
in the wilderness or in sparcely set
tied districts, and ii the power should
|be large one, it will take many years
for its full development No man can
afford to devote his time and money
developing such a power under a
leasehold. FIe needs the title In fee
simple. He is not building for him
self alone. but for posterity
The government should cancel its
withdrawal Of those lands and dispose
Of them to the people who need them
and will use them IN the very nature
of the case there can be no monopoly
in this matter The states respectively
own the water in the rivers within
their boundaries. subject only to the
right OF navigation. which Is con-
trolled by the federal government.
This principle is so general recognized
that every we'll read lawyer is famil-
lar with the decisions of the courts
iustifying it.
Each state has full power to regu-
late the water powers within It's boun-
daries, and the federal government
should either give the settlers the title
lid fee simple to those lands. or turn
the lands containing water powers and
local and minerals, ever to the states.
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1910-08-20

The present policy is retarding de-
Ivelopment, and progress must soon
cease unless it can be changed The
people should be given every oppor-
tunity to develop the country in which
they live. AS the state already owns
the water, why should it not own the
land also? All these lands, with coal
land mineral and other deposits should
be turned over to the states. which
alone have the power to take and to
regulate the industries that may re-
lsult from these mineral resources.
MANY water powers in our terri
tory, including a large number along
the Snake river, have been withdrawn
by the government recently, and the
result today is that numerous projects
to establish manufactures are held
|up. Capitalists and owners Of fac
tories in the New England, eastern
and middle western states would oper-
ate more mills and plants in our coun.
TRY. but under existing regulations,
which | hold are unlawful. these men
cannot secure the land they must
have if they are to develop the power.
Under the old law, which gave any
person the right to select land and de-
velop power, the water power Of the
east has all been developed 1t is in
private hands and has been from the
beginning
What we desire is opportunity for
any man in the United States to come
to our country and get water and 9TH
erwise assist in developing our re
sources. We do not want the country
standing idle. and the water running
to the ocean as it has been doing for
countless thousands of years. The
way to get population, wealth. reve-
nue.. cities, manufacturing establish
ments, churches and schools into our
country is to develop these water
powers. Spokane, now city of 125,-
900, has grown because 1t is built on
an immense water power. There are
many other equally valuable water
powers in the Northwest and they
ought to be developed We should
have cities of from $4,000 to 10000
all over the western country and we
would have them if permitted to de-
velop the wealth at our DOORS
