OH PATIENTLY GENTLEMEN

~ The Press believes the board of
directors acted very wisely yesterday
in referring back to the Southern Pa
cific Railroad Company the proposal to
sell its interest in the irrigation sys-
tenn subject to the various claims
against the system, with the request
that the company shall submit pro
posal for the sale of the system free
of all membranes.
The fact is that there is nothing in
present conditions that is not hopeful,
all things working together for the
promotion of the valley.
Since 1902 the editor of the Press
has been advocating the acquisition of
the irrigation system by the people of
the valley so soon as the conditions
should warrant and it could be ac-
quired at a reasonable price.
But this paper has never thought it
tion, and it does not believe it would
be advisable at this time to get into
a legal tangle.
The Southern Pacific has law de-
partment which is working to get the
fornia Development Company property,
and those lawyers are better equipped
fnr ha he n
valley.
Some persons have been attempting E
to create a scare over the operations
of Depositario Andrade, in charge of
the Mexican end of the irrigation sys-
tenn, but the contest for possession is
purely formal, for the sake of cover
ing the legal situation, and does not
control the supply of water for the
valley, Mr.. Andrade being just as anx-
ious as Colonel Holabird to see the
valley developed.
If there is any one thing that every
body understands fully it is that the
spirit of the people of this valley would
not permit any person to interfere with
their water supply, and nothing would
precipitate war between America and
Mexico more quickly than for the Mex
lean government itself to interfere with
the water supply of the valley, of
which there is not the slightest danger
nor the least occasion.
There is one thing for the people
of the valley to do at this time, and
only one thing, and that is to maintain
their equanimity and proceed to har
vest crop every day of every month
in the year until conditions have
shaped for them to take over the irri-
cation system free from all kinks of
all kinds.

This time the trail was easier. It
was better packed, and they were not
carrying mail against time. At Forty
Mile they laid over two days for the
sake Of the dogs, and at Sixty Mile
Dayllght's team was left with the
trader Unlike Daylight, after the
terrible run from selkirk to, Circle
City, they had been unable to recup'
crate on the back trail. So the four
men pulled on from Sixty Mile with
a fresh team Of dogs on Daylights
sled. The following night they
camped in the cluster Of islands at
the mouth of the Stewart. Daylight
talked town sites, and, though the
others laughed at him, he staked the
whole maze OF high. wooded island.
Just supposIng the big strike does
come ON the Stewart" he argued.
"Mebbe you.all II be in on 1t, and then
again mebbe you.all won't. But sure
will. You-all d better reconsider and
go in with me on It,"
But they We're stubborn.

tell you.all! What'd they-all stake

The regret in his voice was provoca'

In the meantime there was naught

pounds and making his Ave dogs pack
as we'll, Indian fashion, loading them
with thirty pounds each. Depending
on the report Of Ladue, he intended to

Here for day he camped with Car

drifted down the Yukon to Forty Mile.
Then 1t was that Carmack, his broth
