WOODS WRITES HIS VIEWS ON RECLAMATION Senator Tells What He Thinks on Subject of Water Problems in
 the Valley. CHECKING PLAN
 IS EXPLAINED Letter Will Be Interesting to Everyone Who Owns Land Under Local
 Project.
CHECKING PLAN
 IS EXPLAINED

The folcowing discriminating letter on the water situation in this valley and the relations existing between the farmers ana the reclamation service, with suggestions as to the means Of settling some of the mooted questions in the present difficulty. was written for The Republican by C. E. Wood. himself land owner in the valley and member of the state senate. The letter will be read with interest by every one desiring information regard ing the reclamation questions now un- der discussion.
 As the water question Is now q live issue. I think it opportune to call at tention to our antiquated methods of distribution. Some of our people are asitated. very properly. about the large sum it has taken to build the dam. etc. yet overlooking saving that would more than pay the deb; without effort and leave q surplus.
 Every farmer knows that the chief value of water is to have it when you want it. When you have cut 40- acre field. or pasturel it. ana you wa ter it. you want to water all of it at one run.
 If the farmer can get the water in such quantities and times as desired. it means at least two extra crops of alfalfa during the season. It means as much Tn profits on other crops.
 have referred to this natter bv- fore as the checking system" of run ming water. \ thousand dollar de- posit in the bank would not be of such great value. if you could only draw out ten dollars per weNk
 The value of the bank deposit lies in fact it is subject to cheek on de- mand
 The law and the court says that an acre of land is entitled to SD much wa ter as can be beneficialy used. The benefits Of use are in ratio of getting it when needed.
 Without further comment then. it can be safely asserted that if the checking system was applied to water. and that if the latcrals were Zanjeroed and the water delivered under his su- pervision to each mans land. the value of such a distribution would equal in q few years to more than what the reclamation service claims to have eX- pended.
 Perhaps it will take more gray mat ter d; headquarters than is now avail able but that could be reinforced at q reasonable cost.
Arizona republican., 1912-03-12

As far as obligation to the reclama- ton service goes. there are three sep arate matters to be settled before we shall have to begin meeting that ob- ligation. viz:
 (a) The total acreage and the par ticulcar acreage to bc watcred from the reservoir
 (b) The total cost of the project.
 (c) The total acreage above men tioned must be receiving water.
 The necessity for settling tine above questions before payments shall bc- gin seem to me to be obvious and need no comment. Therefore it is easy to see that payments cannot begin very soon. and no one need borrow money vet to meet his payments.
 It is the second matter that is ere ating more comment than any other just now. IL is said that if the farm CTS take any method of ascertaining for themselves the proper cost of the project or checking the expenditures in any way. the reclamation service will get angry and refuse to play.
 Now right here is where a lot of people are making a grave mistake. In the first place the reclamation service has no right to be offended. and in the second place you are simply check ing the work of the local contingent of that service and not the service itself.
 The greatest criticism that can be made on the reclamation service is that it has not of it's own accord made monthly reports public as is the prac- tice in many departments of the gov ernment.
 It is no reflection on the department that the people here refuse tO endorse every act of one of it's local lights (weights).
 There is not the slightest question in the world but that the people of Salt River Valley have the greatest respect for the reclamation service ana feel greatly their indebtedness to it too greatly perhaps-and desire the most amicab1e relations with it, and it is folly to assert because they re- fuse to regard the local administrator d great man and because they desire to learn more of their own business affairs they are attacking the recla- nation service.
 Some of our own people are urg- ing that more to cover designs of 'sheir own than to defend the said service.
 If YOU have been a silent partner in a business for q long time and your active partner has done great things, it would seem that he would be anxious to demonstrate his business acumen and proudly show his books on the first opportunity. Nor would it Jetract from his great achievement if it should be proven that minor official or two had either pilfered or was proven incompetent.
 No, the people of the valley do not desire to attack the reclamation ser vice, neither do they care to nave rep

Mr.. Lee last night made a statement
regretting the necessity of attacking
Raine, but affirming that the trouble
was forced upon him. Mondays con-
versation regarding the candidacy of
Roosevelt, in which charges were made
that each voted for the colonel, Mr..
Lee says, suddenly developed bad
blood. Mr.. Raine applied an offensive
epithet, he said. but friends interferred
before blows passed. Tuesday mutual
friends sought an apology from Ralne,
but failed. and when Lee met the edi.
tor on the street he repeated the de-
mand for an apology. Again being re.
fused, he landed" on Raines jaw,
and, in further mlxup struck Raine
repeatedly. Lee says that at the time
he held in his hand key to his store
building on Modison street, which he
had just visited Attached to this KEY
was an iron key bar of good weight
and this doubtless did the damage to
Raine's face and head, it is said.

north OUTNUMBEPS
SOUTH IN HOUSE
DEMOCRATS

Washington, Nov. 27.--It has just
been discovered by statisticians of the
House that for the first time in the
history of the lower branch of Con-
gress the Democrats of the North will
outnumber their party colleagues of
the South.
Never before has democracy drawn
its main strength from north of Ma
son and Dixon line, but as the inves-
tigators figure it, the party will have
in the coming House 152 Northern,
Democrats and only 140 from the
South. In party caucus, in case of
split on sectional lines. this would give
the Northerners majority of twelve.
By reason of longer service, how
aver the Southerners win control vir-
ually all of the important committees
ind thus practically will be able to
lirect the business of the House.

BLUE AND GRAY UNITE.
''Yanlx'' and 'eReb'' Speakers at Ap-
pOmattox Day Dinner.

Emporia, Kan, April 12.-That the
prejudices which for so long have sep
arated the old Union and Confederate
soldiers have practically disappeared
was illustrated at a dinner given here
Army hall. In choosing the speakers
who fought under the stars and stripes
and Judge w. T. McCarty, who was a
fearless captain under Stonewan Jack
son, were unanimously selected.
The dinner was given in com mem O.
ration of the surrender at Appomat-
tox. Judge McCarty has the distinc-
ton of being the only survivor who
was present on this memorable occa-
sion now living In Lyon county and is
probably the only ex-Confederate liv-
ing in Kansas who was present at Ap-
pomattox Court House on that historic
day. For many years there has been
a growing friendliness between the
Union and Confederate soldiers. Poll
tics has afforded the best example of
this. Judge McCartY has held many
offices in the county, including both
county attorney and probate Judge
and during his candidacy the Union
soldiers supported him almost to a
man. Captain McCarty is a candidate
for district Judge this year and will
have almost the undivided support of
the wearers of the blue. The bloody
shirt has been buried forever in Lyon
county and the fast thinning lines of
the Blue and the Gray have clasped
their hands in everlasting friendship.
