WATER COMPANY NO. / TO
RETURN TO ASSESSMENTS

ance S7o5. There was used on this
ranch of $40 acres for the same period
1926 of water, or S116 more by the toll
system than by assessment The J. G..
Cortelyou ranch has 296 shares OF
stock He paid for maintenance dur
ing the past eighteen months in assess
ments $40. There was used on this
ranch $404 of water by tolls. AS pro
posed he would have paid $4S5, saw
ing of $255 These three ranches, |
Upon the three the toll system would
have worked a saving of $166.
Those of you who heard Mr.. Os-
burns statement at the Saturday meet
ing would hardly imagine that the
above figures show the actual condi-
ton on these ranches, as between the
two systems-toll and assessments.
The company is now irrigating 12O.-
600 acres under 100000 shares Of
stock. We are delivering one-third
more water than ever before. Our
equipment is inadequate to handle the
bitches while carrying a head of water.
The expense of cleaning the canals in
creases with the quantity of water
sent through them; more water. more
silt and sand Theoretically this ought
not to be true. 1t is true in our case,
because of the system we, have of
checking the water from the head to
the foot of the canals. At the same
time, or, in other words, the unbusi-
ness method of delivering the water
at any point on the canal at any time
requested by the water user.
The dollar assessment has come 10
stay under present methods. Under
the assessment plan every stockhold-
er who uses three acre feet per annum
will pay Sc 2-3 cents per foot. If he
uses less than three acre feet Of
water per annum he will pay more
than 66 % cents per foot. Taking the
average water used last year of PA
feet per acre and each stockhoIder
using that average paid 73 cents. per
acre foot for maintenance.
Personally | went onto the board of
directors this year for the purpose Of
trying to correct some of the past and
present conditions that have grown
into the affairs of No. /. as a natural
result of the physical conditions that
lad to be met and overcome by the
men who have in the past builded. that
we might enjoy. We have a great and
glorious country and a magnificent
water system. but, like the old Colo
rado, from whence We take our supply.
ii will be great and glorious only
while it is under and held in control.
III the management of the canals and
the finances of tht company are to be
dictated by those who have only sordid
personal interest TO control their oo
llon, we will never be in a safe or sat
isfactOry condition.

Confidence in Huerta

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 3.-Confidence
IN the ability of General Huerta to
protect MOrmOns in the Casas Grandes
district and later to whip the rebels
into submission was expressed at the
presidents office today
That the rebels will do anything to
force the United States to intervene
is not believed by government officials
or the public. Government sympathiz-
ers, as well as friends of General
Orozco, consider it probable that, in
case of American invasion, the rebel
leaders would join the government i'll
its defense.
Huerta may have his campaign well
under way by Saturday. He is expect
ed to arrive at Chihuahua today TO di-
rect the two columns he is sending to-
ward Casas Grandes to cooperate with
the clumn moving eastward from So
nora under General Sanjines.
An unconfirmed report, from a
source usually reliable, is that General
Orozco has renewed overtures of
peace. To this is ascribed the delay
i'll the departure of General Huerta,
who ha dtraveled on his return to his
command as far as a suburb of the
capital when recalled by the president

AMERICAN SOLDIERS
BATTLE WITH REBELS
ACROSS THE LINE

LBY UNITED PRESS ASsOCIATIONSI
Ell PASO, Texas, Aug. 3-More
than fifty shots We're exchanged across
the border last night and early today
between United States soldiers and
Mexican rebels. The homes of four
Americans i'll East Ell Paso were rid
died with bullets, but the American
troops were uninjured. 1t is not
known if any rebels were hurt.
The exchange of shots started late
last night, when the rebels fired on
the American troops near the Ell Paso
foundry. The Americans Immediately
replied without making an investiga-
ton, firing in the direction from which
the shots came. An investigation is
being made by Colonel Strever, com.

WILSON NOT TO RESIGN

SEA GIRT, Aug. 3-Formal/ an.
nouncement was made yesterday by
Governor Wilson that he would not
resign the governorship of New Jer
sey during his campaign for the presi
dency.
The governor had kept his mind
open on this question ever since the
Baltimore convention. Leading Demo
Gratis in the state, however, have urged
nm to follow the precedent of Grover
Cleveland, who was nominated for the
presidency, but continued in the office
'of governor of New York.
Governor Wilson is keenly interest
ed in the prospective reports of the
committee investigating the tax prob
lem and the efficiency of state affair."

OROzGO'S RETREAT NAY Be
CUT OFF BY fEOERALs

Ell PASO, Texas, Aug. 3.-Pascual
OrOzcO, chief of the Mexican rebels,
still remains in JuareZ, although the
federal army has taken MADEIRA from
the rebels and now is marching north
toward Casas Grandes. The federals
ought to be able to get to Casa5
Grandes in few hours. If they get
there they could cut Orozco off from
retreat into Sonora.
1t is understood that all American
women and children have fled from
the fighting zone. Nearly 1900 refu.
gees have arrived in Ell Paso since
last Sunday.
General Orozco said today that he
has not sought peace terms for him
self or for any of his men. OroZco
was asked about report from Mexico
City last night, which said the rebels
were to test the temper of the govern
ment as to possible peace conditions.
Orozco said the fighting was just
beginning" and that there could be
no peace as long as Madero remained
president"
The rebel chief asserted that Mex
leo City is giving out stories that we
have asked for peace as a means of
injuring the rebel cause in the eyes
OF the nations"

The directors have neither excuse or
holders to raise maintenance by tolls
upon water used, rather than by as
/ seSsments upon stock. We believe
that under existing conditions that it
is the only fair, just and equitable
/ method by which the money to main
tain the canals OF the company should
be raised. We were also aware of the
fact that We could not enforce the
change without the moral support and
, hearty cooperation OF the StockhOld-
erS. This we have not had. In pre-
senting the change 10 you we asked a
patient and careful try-out and inveSti-
cation of the proposition. This you
have not given us. We therefore feel
that the best interest of the company
requires US TO reScind our action until
such time as the stockholders are
ready to stand with Us. Therefore the
directors have determined to rescind
the action taken July 10 in regard to
collecting maintenance by tolls upon
water used, and will levy the neces-
sary assessments upon stock as in the
past.
