FULTON IS
|RR|GAT|NG

Isaac Fulton, whose place is
a mile or two north of Mount
ainair, is making an expert
ment in irrigation that ought
to be of much interest to every
body in the Valley.
People in this part of the
Valley will no doubt think
his operations are too costly to
consider, but he says he sees
plenty of money in it.
He has five acres in orchard,
and is raising garden truck of
various kinds between the
rows.
He has a medium sized tank
has to raise the water 225 feet,
and his pump throws but ten
gallons per minute.
He is keeping an exact ac-
count of his expenses for flu
ture reference. Judging by
his experience last year, he
thinks it is going to cost him
just about $3.50 per year. This
is $50 an acre, but, as noted
above, he says there is going
to be good money in it. Last
year he thinks be put too
much water on the ground.
at this writing his trees and
crops look as fine as could be
wished.
If Mr.. Fulton can make
money on this sort of a prop
osition, what can people in
the shallow water belt do3

SENATE PASSES
PRIMARY BILL

Santa Fe. N. NJ, June 3.-Th'
senate was the center of attract
ion in the capitol today. Demo
cratic oratory tbundered and re
publican oratory Numbered back
and Senator Barth relieved him
self of few observations on the
subject of gangs and gang rule
The cause of most of the trou
BILE was the Champion direct
primary bill, introduced several
days ago and supposed to repre-
sent the ideas of the republican
organization as to the fulfillment
of the campaign pledges made al
Las Vegas last fall. The bill
provides for the election by pop
ular vote of del, gates to county
and state conventions, who are
to nominate the candidates OF
their party for state and county
offices. No provision is made TO
the expression of the popular
will Oh the candidates them
selves. In effect it continues the
convention system with a provl-
sion for the popular election OF
delegates to the conventions.
The democrats got on the war
path as soon as the bill was read
Senator Barth said that the re.
publican convention at Las Veg
as had promised the people a cor
rupt practices act, good roads
legislation and a law providing
for direct primaries. He was
willing to admit that the first
two promises had been kept, SO
far as the senate is concerned,
and called attention to the fact
that the bills embodying those
measures had received the sup
port of the democratic senators
The bill under discussion, he de
clared, was a distinct step back
ward and breach of taith with
the people. He was of the opin
ion that the existing law on tn
subject is better than the on,
proposed.
Senator Evans said that the |
proposed law would actually do
harm so far as his section is cor
cerned. He stated that in tht
eastern counties Of the state
there is already real primary
system in operation, and that Ii
this bill is passed it will compe
those counties to go back to tht
convention system. SenatoI
Hinkle sarcastically remarke,
that he would favor the bill l.
its title were changed SO as t,
make it appear as an act to per
petuate the county boss system
and if an amendment were d
dopted to provide that either po
litical party might do as
pleased about holding primaries
Senator Mabry sent in an ameno
ment to change the title so as Il
read: AN Act to Excuse the r,
publican Party from Fulfilling 1t
Prediction Promises. Senate
Walton's objection to the biI
was that it is a primary Law
which doesn't prime.
Senator CHAMPION, in defend
ing the bill, said that the gentle
man on the right hand side Q
