BONDS ARE VOTED FOR
DRAINAGE DISTRICT

In regard to the successful bond
election held in the La Jara dis
trict last week, the Enterprise says:
1.-THE proposition to vote bonds
in the sum of $4,000 to finance
the San Luis Valley Drainage
District No. |, was voted on by
the land owners of the district,
Wednesday and carried unani-
mously. The election was held at
the Bountiful school house, and
thirty votes were cast in favor of
the bond issue.
".The next step of the directors
of this drainage district is to sell
the bonds, which probably will
not take long. This is the first
drainage district to be formed in
the state. under the recent drain
age act, and these bonds will be
the first drainage bonds on the
market. However, as the land, on
the average, is not bonded for one
fifth of it's value, they should not
experience any trouble in dispos-
ing of the bonds.
"As soon as the bonds are sold,
the matter of letting contracts will
be taken up; and while the work
will be done as expedient as posi-
BILE, the actual excavation work on
the bitches will probably not be-
gin before next spring.
This drainage proposition
means much to La Jara and vicin-
ity, as there will be several thou
sand acres of land, now practically
useless, producing good crops in q
few years.
MANY more drainage districts
will no doubt be formed in the
next few years, which will make
the San Luis Valley the garden
spot of Colorado"

Commanders
OF the


~ RAMWELL BOOTH. new gen
eral of the Salvation Army. is
the eldest son of his father.
General William Booth. its
founder. He was born in Halifax in
1856 and has served through all grades
of the army, rising to second in COM
mand, a position he held at the time Of
his fathers death. Like his father, he
has been on evangelical and inspection
tours Of various parts Of the world.
His part in the development Of the
Salvation Army has been a most impor-
tant one. He was the organizer who
built into permanent institutions the
groups of converted sinners who were
won to q better life by his fathers elo-
Quence and popular methods.
The new general is depicted as a man
of complete system in business admin
istration. All his work is organized
under secretaries Immediately within
call. His vast desk is covered with as
sorted papers,. Reference books are
close at hand. All his interviews are
by appointment. His frugal midday
meal is served on a swinging table by
the side of his desk. In spite of his
businesslike methods BramWell Booth
is a man Of great human sympathy, to
whom an appeal for help or for justice
is never made in vain. His zeal is
such that in his youth he risked impris-
Onment for his convictions.
The new general of the Salvation
Army was married in 1882 to Captain
Florence Soper. Captain Soper was the
daughter of a west of England physi-
clan and was converted at a White
chapel meeting she attended as a sight
seer, the guest of Mrs. Catherine Booth.
She served in the Salvation Army in
France and is now in charge of the
WOmen's social work in England. This

MISS EVA BOOTH AND BRAMwELL o
branch of the Salvation Army work
has been a great factor not only in
fighting the spread of the social evil,
but in reducing drunkenness among
Englishwomen Of the lower classes.
Outlining the army's future funda.
mental object, Bramwell Booth said:
ut is my great hope to make men
realize the value of citizenship and
their relation and responsibility to the
community, getting away from the
pauper idea.
"Thus the social work of the Saliva
ton Army is for the future it's funda-
mental object. The difficulty of I'M
employment both in England and
America is the most complicated prob
lem of the communities. We have
strongly urged for years the establish
ing of detention colonies for Migrants.
We see in them safety for society and
also the one hope of restoration for
many Migrants who now are hopeless
and whose habits n society. But
God forbid we should propose more
prisons.
'"The prisons also must be dominated
by the spirit of human sympathy and
religious influence. The inequalities Of
the law are gravely to blame for the
wretched conditions in which the sub
merged criminal classes are found.
"How easy society finds it to lock up
oil sorts of undesirable, afflicted peo-
pie! Society has to pay, but let us
make sure the officials understand that
the country is tired of the old costly
methods and wants no new courses of
penal medicine to add to the universal
suffering, but Is determined to have an
entirely new treatment of every needy
individual according to his require
ments.'
Miss Eva Booth. commander of the
Salvation Army in America, was sent
to this country by her father to assume
the duties OF - position after her
brother, Rallin- ION Booth, had disa.
greed with their father and broken
away from the Salvation Army to
found the rival organization known as
rhe Volunteers Of America.
Miss Booth is very popular and has
~ into practice many ingenious meth
Of advertising the work OF the
army. She went to London to attend
the funeral Of her father.
