DROPS TO DEATH IN HIS SLEEP.

This week we are i'm receipt of
further particulars regarding the
death at Swansea last week of Les
ter Hughes, the young son of the SUI
penrintendent of the Swansea Con-
solidated mines. 1t appears that the
unfortunate young man was employ
ed i'm top work as a sampler, and
the warm weather drove him to the
shaft4house ito take a nap. He laid
down ON a plank Within a few feet
of the shaft, and rolled over i'm his
sleep, when he fell below, dis
tamce of 285 feet His father had
warmed him to seek some other place
to sleep, but the advice was not fol-
lowed. The accident has caused
great deal of regret in that commun-
ity, the deceased being a popular
and industrious boy.

State railroads have this year made
exceptionally low rates for travel

NO FREE TEXT BOOKS.

To the Public
The annual reports of the teachers
OF Yuma county show am average at
tendance of SIG pupils.
The census marsihals' report shows
1916 school census children This lis
an attendance of about 4S per cent,
O less than one4half of school CEN
sus children i'm school, a very sorry
showing, although this is a little bet
t2r than the average yearly showing
of our county.
One of the chief causes of this
condition lis want of school books
When school opens i'm the fall, a man
with a large family, a small income,
O" small SALARY has hard work get
ting clothes, and shoes, and all the
lhtle ones ready and off to school.
Then at last the children say: :"Well,
papa, we got to have some books" 3"
and papa says, Eyes? Well, papa Il
got no more money now, you'll have
to wait dears, to next payday. And
SO the children do not all start
The free text book law will not
go into effect this fall fear. For
this l am very sorry l was so i'm
hopes that all would have books, with
out trouble and worry to amy one.
But now / come to what I started
out to say. If you have no books, or
see that you are not going to have
when school opens, do not wait but
come to me, tr write me a short note
telling me so, and will see that you
get books whether the free text book
law lis in effect or not Do not feel
backward about DIT. It is your right
your privilege and your duty ito see
that all your children are in school.
We only draw down from the state
about one4half of what we are just
ly entitled ito, because of our small
attendance.
Let us AID take a hand thiS fall
fathers, mothers guardians, aUmts,
uncles, relatives, friends, all, and
see that every child i'm our neighbor
hood, and thereby every child inn the
county that should be i'm school lis i'm
his seat when school opens.
There is mo reason why we can
NOT open our schools with at leasi
500 pupils enrolled.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN M. HESS.
County School Superintendent.

PROBLEMS TO
BE SOLVED
IN RELATION TO PROPOSED IRRI-
CATION DISTRICT FOR THE
VALLEY-BRIDGFO ACT MAY
BE AMENDED.

BLYTHE, CAL, Aug. Is. - The
committee that was appointed
in Los Angeles sometime ago to
Investigate the formation of water
district appears to have rum up
against the real thing, from the i'm
direct reports that come from the
city. The first smag is the report
from legal advisors that the Bridg
ford act would have to be amended
to ALLOW lls ito build levees.
Next lit is claimed that investors
will not buy bonds drawing less than
6 per cent or whereabouts; that 8 per
cent bonds would not SELL AS the
code provides that We can only
charge per cent interest ON bonds
and that they must sell at par it
places thingS in a bad hight. The
committee has practically decided
that the Bridgford act will not fill
the bill.
These various questions are, of
course, necessary ito be worked out
before we cam really go ahead and do
anything. 1T is necessary that we
vote bonds and that we sell them,
or we cannot extend our system of
irrigation. While it may require
csnH To 1ha Hod tO
comply with our conditions, We are
of the opinion that it will pay us to
wait a few months if necessary to
see if these amendments cannot be
brought about.
The state legislature meets this
winter and these amendments can
then be placed before lit for cOnE3ider-
ation The state laws are made for
the benefit of the people and if they
are not in accord with conditions
necessary to carry ON business lit lis
the duty of our Legislators to change
the laws SO they may be of Nalue-
that is What they are elected for.
The Bridgford act, taken as
A.hosle,r is a msst eXcellangt law It W.
just and equitable to all, and should
not be discarded for some other law
which might alloW us to possibly save
few months, and thereafter be sad
died up with system that is emtire-
ly unsatisfactory in many ways, and
which We don't want. There dis prac-
tically no opposition to the BridgfOrd
act, except as stated, and if the
changes can be made, then that iG
the law we want.
There is another movement under
way which if passed this winter will
no doubt enable us to SELL bonds a.
5 per cent or possibly even less.
That lis to have the state guarantee
the payment of the irrigation bonds
and make Dit possible for state banks
and TRUST and investment companies
to buy bonds of this character, and
then We would have no trouble i'm
dispOsing of them.
We had better go slow if necessary
and when We do go ahead we know
We will have things the way We want
them, than to jump into Somethinng
just because lit lis a change and we
can make 1T go at once, but which has
many undesirable features
Whether or not lit would be best
to form a district and then work for
the amendments or to get the amend
ments first and then organize is a
question for each one to decide for
himself, and perhaps our committee,
when lit makes its report, will have
some good suggestions to make along
these hines

Society is Stimulated.

The social life in these cOmmun-
partakes not at all of the old4time
mOnOtOny of the farm life. The OPP
portunity for social intercourse and
amusement has come to be such as
is to be found i'm the most progres-
Sive of the eastern villages, and it
has been extended to all THE people
ground has opportunity to SHINE lin
the drawing+room, as does the bank
clerk, and the country bUmpllim has
become a thing of romance and d~~of
the eastern, isolated farm.
Labor troubles have had an added
tendency toward emphasizing the
ideal community form of government.
Hired help ON the farm has long
been difficult to obtain; its absence
at the critical time i'm this intensive
farming might mean the loss of an
entire crop. The natural result has
been that each man farmed only such
lands as he could care for Through
his own labors. That land he owned,
and he was independent of all outside
interests. In these communities the
individuals have a greater per capita
wealth than under amy other condi-
tions of life i'm the world
Community Life Fostehed.
The CN'nership of land comes ma
turally to the ideal under this devel-
opment of the community life. 1t
reaches such value that it is unpro-
fitable on large scale with hired la
Dor. As a result, the owners of large
tracts have been forced, as a matter
OF business economy ito subdiyide
them and sell them to the small fars
mers, and there have always been
plenty of takers.

IRRIGATION IS
REMAKING MAP
Reel LAMATlON ENTERPRISES
ARE MAKING BACK TO THE
LAND MOVEMENT POPULAR
WORK HAS ONLY STARTED.

The map of North America is be-
ing recast by that hand maiden of in
dustry, irrigation. Great changes
are being wrought, not alone in the
west, but i'm the east and south as
we'll, for the system of cultivation of
the soil and the manner of living
both are being changed for the
better
Reclamation service officials have
estimated that Psi 900 900 acres~oof
arid and semi-arid land await devel-
opment. 1t lis estimated that at the
present time fully II 100000 acres of
land in the United States is being
put under the canal and the ditch.
The building of these immense pro
jects and the development of the
lands to be supplied with water will
force upon the people, unwillingly it
may be, movement back to the
land" such as has never been witt
messed anywhere. The community
Idea will develop, for under no other
scheme of living can men develop
irrigated land and make it pay the
Immense annual dividends which tits
greatly increased value will demand
Fruit and produce, which must be
shipped quickly ito market, are the
chief products. In order to handle
them without delay or damage it dis
necessary that villages, as shipping
points, he C:ose together
Markets Provided.
Closer organization was found nee
essary in marketing the produce OF
advisable that the individual with the
fiVe-acre tract should be forced to
secure his market in distant city
for himself. Through cooperation,
arrangements, varying in form i'm diff
ferent communities, were made which
provided the organizations to look
out for the markets for aid.
The village, as center, has
brought added opportunity to work
out the community system In the
first place it dis the center of a
school district, and the population
within a radius of three miles lis
sufficient to allow the maintenance
of graded school and, possibly,
high school,
The educational advantages of the
whole community have, as a result,
been greatly bettered. Many of the
farmers living two or three miles
from town found lit advisable to put
UP residence there and travel to
and from the farm, instead of send
ing the children long distances to
school. The homes have come to be
largely located in the Village, while
the farm lis still the source of malin
tenance.
