CLASS [ LAND ID RECEIVE
 MORE IRRIGATION WATER
Chiet Engineer Davis Recommends Serving Several Thousand Addi-
 tional Acres of This Class

Chief Engineer Arthur P. Davis has recommended that several thousand acres of class C land be admitted to water privileges under the Roosevelt project
 In several instances where the di- Vidine line between class A and B land and that of class C is close ranchers on one side of the line would be receiving water while only q short distance away other land owners could secure none.
 In such instances where the water can be served without expense to the government the recommendation of the chief engineer will apply.
 The greater part of this land lies m the south half of township 1 N, F., and west of Peoria and Glendale It is impossible to indicate just the pieces involved for they are scat tered. but those interested may as certain there whereabouts by per sonal application at the office of the water users association.
 Some time ago 36.OOO acres of class C land was awarded water but only 2O,OoO acres was applied for indicat- ing that large per centage of the land is held for speculation rather than cultivation.

 The very rich people and the very poor people are farthest from the nor nal and least to be trusted in their views about laws and government

LABOR TRUST ATTITUDE
TOWARD N0NUNION MEN.
Equal Chance For All Working Men Is
Minister'S Plea.

The Rev. w. B. Reed, author of a
book entitled "a Race Between Two
Straits" has gained wide reputation
both as writer and lecturer. His re-
cent lecture on 1.-The Attitude of the
Labor Trusts Toward the Colored and
Nonunion Man" at the Union Baptist
church in Orange, N. j., has created
much favorable comment
In the course of his remarks the Rev
Mr.. Reed said:
We are living in a great age. We feel
that 1t is a special favor to be SO signally
blessed In having our existence at this the
most glorious epoch of human history.
We feel that we are in the meridian Of
human greatness. beholding wonders the
sages never dreamed of, neither conceived
of by the fathers. Our problems are many
and perplexed, the world richer, civiliZa
ton more advanced. while competition be-
tween men and nations seems to be more
intense.
But as We feel generations doubtless
from the beginning of the human family
have felt. In portraying the fame and
heroism of the great men of the Jews as
only a Paul could his admiration was lost
in the records of the prophets. the leaps
and bounds of generation after genera
ton. So 1t was with world ruling powers
among hostile nations OF other times.
Each In turn worshlped the godS that 1t
had outmeasured all of the past and to
be a standard for all the future. Men
come and go. nations wax and wane.
methods come and grow old, but truth
triumphs.
What has been true Is now true. Every
man has his faults; none is perfect. Ev
cry generation has had it's issues and
conflicts and. with whatever magnifed
pride possessed. passed away. leaving
much for the next generation to do. The
fall of earth's blacklist crime at Apo
matox seemed to have been enough to
purge the nation from shore to shore and
all join the victor's song, henceforth all
will be well. But. Lincoln, where art
thou? Garfield. McKinley-all gone. The
fury of the mob rises from a thousand
different places, defying all that is lawful
and sacred.
From the colored mans point of vaw
there are many barriers to be broken
down but over and above all there are
three major questions-viz. disfranchise-
mAnt jimcrowism and the labor trust
