About 9 o'clock last evening the 15O
citizens gathered at the La Court were
called to order by D. W. Auperle, who
in short address outlined the purpose
of the meeting. In a 10-minute talk
Senator Horace T. DeLong reviewed the
history of the project and its presen.
status. Secretary Auperle then intro,
duced Secretary Fisher His talk was
plain, businesslike and to the point
"There is one rule that l have de-
termined to enforce while l am in this
position,' he stated, "that is to make
good on anything that say or promise.
~ am not going to say whether We
are going to construct this canal OH
the high or low level tonight. Just as
soon as I can get certain information
that 1 have not yet been able to secure,
am going to announce my decision
and then 1 an going to act. l am very
much interested in your project. What
have heard of your wonderful coun-
try and what I have seen of its re-
markable fruit orchards has aroused my
intense interest. There is no project
that 1 would more gladly work on than
this.
Gas I see it the problem has sim
meerd down to this: Originally the
line of the canal was on the high line.
Now, by common consent, the old line
of the project seems to be abandoned
by both sides in this controversy. The
other proposition is the one suggested
by the reclamation service and approx
ed by the army board for the lower
line, ard you can take it from me that
it is my intention to proceed along the
lines of that report unless some very
good reason is presented to do other
wise.
81 feel deep regret that it is nee
essary to carry out any plan that will
cut some of the orchards into inconven-
lent. and in some cases, very unfortu-
nate shapes, and also cause in certain
instances, financial loss. The equities
of the situation have been put very
earnestly before me- have made it a
rule to consider always the effect of
any work upon the individual. I have
deep personal feeling for the man
that has come into this western couu-
try, settled and made his stake. That
man is going to get my help to the ut
termost of my ability. That is the
way that you would want me to treat
you if you were in his position.
"In talking with your directors,
have been impressed with the broad
and fair attitude they have taken in
this matter. In fact, have found that
in all the reclamation work and the
men in the service and those affected
have met their various difficulties in q
fair and in an American spirit of mu-
tual helpfulness.
"I think that it is incumbent on the
part Of The govsfnmsnt 10 put into
effect that plan that is the soundest
and that plan that in the end viii b.

Give Impetus to Investments

Give Impetus to Investments
AS to the benefits of the bill: All
parties opposed to it talk of trusts.
And all parties whether opposed or not,
see that if the bill becomes. law a
great impetus will be given to storage
investments and construction. That IS
what we want. We have thousands VI
acres of arid lands, and thousands of
feet of water running to waste. Let
US reclaim the land, and recognizing
the condition of the available water
supply, let us help the settlers on the
land to obtain capital to construct their
reservoirs and bitches by securing to
them and the investor jointly a water
right based on their priority. 1t should
neve be forgotten that the farmer,
whether as holder of stock in a mu-
tual company, or as user of water
from carrier ditch, practically owns
the water right, and is as vtaIly IN
terested in the security and priority
of that right as the builder of the sys-
TEN. We know that very few bitches
for direct irrigation are now being con
and at the best can hope to
take from the stream but high water
right. We know that even on the
Grand and the Gunnison the struggle
for the direct rights has begun, and
we also know that on many streams
even the early rights have been sup
plemented by the farmers with stor-
age rights We also know that the in
coming settler on our arid lands IS
not likely to be able to carry the bur
den of reservoir construction himself,

THE NEED OF MORE FAC
TORIES.

Everybody will admit that fac
tories are needed in ,own to
give employment and add TO It's
growth and prosperity. and yet
the initiative towards getting fac
tories somehow comes very slow
from business men Of the aver
age community. When the de-
STABILITY of thing is universally
acknowledged and granted, it IS
strange that there is such an iner-
tia about attempting to acqMlre 1t,
The only basis, it seems to AS,
on which this inertia can be eX-
planned is that the community
generally locks upon factories as
something that requires a big cap
ital. and feeling short OF that com
modify they wait and wish FOR
outsiders to come and put up the
cash.
As a matter of fact the best
kind Of factory for small town
to start is a small factory to sup
plv some local need and use home
raised products to utilize home
advanta ges, and the beginning OF
such movement soon means the
addition of other similar factories
for they sell their product, keep
money at home and pay dividends.
The big factory, unless backed
by big capital, is pretty apt 10
prove failure, for it will turn
out products faster than they can
be sold. or maybe material will
be too expensive. And further
getting large factories persuadlng
men of money to invest and that
il hard to do unless YOU are will
ling to put up heavily and be-
sides have mighty good PROPOSE
ton to offer.
A town soon grows when the
business men throw off their iner-
tia ard start in to build their own
factories from small beginnings.
Prosperity follows and then the
other community which is still in
the non-movable state. looks up
and wonders. But it is simple az
ter all. All that is needed is good
management and success is sure,

A HARVEST FOR WAGE
FARMERS.

No farmer expects a crop when
he has not sown the seed. Ii
you leave weeks. months and years
roll by without sowing seed you
need not look for q crop. Now
is the time to make up your mind
to save. Put a small sum in the
Building Association, and when
your rainy day comes your ac-
count will mean to you what a
good crop does to the farmer.

Pare PERDUE NOTES.

That such unsettled weather
should be the farmers lot right
at this time is to be regretted in
view of the fact that shortag"
in the corn crop. makes it all the
more needful that as much peavine
hay as possible be saved. With
rains affecting the leguminous
vines in the uncut state, causing
the foliage to partially disappear
before the opportunity is given
for the making of hay and also
rendering it extremely unsafe to
try and carry on the hay harvest,
and with danger Of losses from
showers, it is apparent that a re-
turn to a period of unbroken sun
shine is very much in demand
these days.
The many friends of Mr.. Eu-
gene Theaux will regret to learn
that he is confined to his home by
a slight illness.
Miss Leonie Theaux spent few
days this week at Broussardville,
visiting relatives and friends
after spending sc. eral weeks
here at the hospitable home of Mr..
and MIS-. Leon Lozes.
