Lane, Friend Of Project
COngressman Smith Says Secretary
VIII Permit no Adverse Ac-
ton on Valley IrriEa-
ton; Interviews.

- CONGRESSMAN W. R. SMITH. who
arrived here Saturday morning
- and the guest of the city until
Sunday evening, says that the appoint
ment Of a commission to investigate
questions of way for for water trans
portation ir Colorado had come up since
he left Washington and he was not ia
miIiar with the matter.
But I have wired to secretary Lane
to take no action until 1 can appear
for the people of the lower valleys and
am sure that he will permit nothing
TO be done which viii hurt the Ele-
Uhant Butte project as he is friendly
to this project" congressman smith
If it is merely a matter of rights
Of way and will not inJure this great
project, there viii be no opPosl51l-0I ION
But if it does tend to inJure the Ele-
plant Butte project, l expect TO IlghS
it. It seems that the people OF Colo
RADIO are trying TO get into the courts
with their case and the secretary IS
inclined to allow them to do it, on the
theory that everyone should be given 2
chance to have hearing But there
will be nothing done which will in any
way hurt this project OF TINS L am
Il have been away from Washington
for three weeks making personal
canvass of my district, and. as lar as
I can find, there is no opposition 10 my
election next July at the primaries
There is and has been nothing to the
report that ! was TO be appOlnIeu 10
the interstate commerce commission
The first I heard of it was when the
correspondent of an FL PaSO paper
asked me about = I am sure that my
name has never been considered for
the place and 1 also feel sure that my
Ioe rr0ar1fTnnnd
president I have been travelling over
the district as far as Mineral Wells
could not hope for my personal aIIalrS
to be in better order in this district
what we need in e. Paso is a well
organized united charity in charge
of a man." A. Schwartz said Saturday
evening We have well organized
charity associations, but what is most
needed is 4 united. central body to han
die all charity cases so that there can
be no duplication of the same work and
so that more good can be accomplished
with the available funds 1 h2ye calls
for charity almost every day and 1
would like to be able to refer them to
such an organization, where knew
their cases would receive careful at
tention."

encounter real California climate here
in FL PasO. In fact. the climate is
somewhat better than a greater part OF
California for this time of year. In the
winter we have it pretty wet in Sac
famentO, but I understand FL Paso IS
not troubled with extreme moisture at
any time of the year Fl Paso has eV-
cry advantage of a modern city, but
should follow the example of most of
the coast cities and many IN the north
and east by abOhshing the socalled
segregated district. Experience has
shown to many cities of the coast. such /
as Los Angeles. Portland and Seattle, /
hat the segregated district IS not a
necessary evil or adjunct to thriving
city"
For absolute unalloyed pleasure"
said d. E. Chenault give me a camera,
the time to go picture hunting and let
old Sol be on the job to just the right /
degree. Pictures are more interesting |
than diary, in preserving the pleasant
places and people one may meet, and /
they can be enjoyed by ones friends !
also, wNile with a diary, well. that is |
generally place where there is a lock /
and key to everyone but the writer"
Ham sandwiches are by far the \
most popular with the high school pu- |
pills. said Mrs. NJ POlvadO, who pre- |
sides over the lunch basket for most Of 1
the high school pupils. Ham sand |
witches are always in demand no mat !
ter what else may be offered Other |
kinds come and go. but ham goes on /
forever. Meat loaf is popular. too. but /
not quite up to ham. The thing that !
takes the school boys fancy, though, is |
dOughnuts- We seldom can bring /
enough to fill the demand"
81 think the idea of the historical |
pageant to be given by the high school /
seniors is one of the best things ever /
here" said r. T. Tighe, the 1
school superintendent Besides being /
a treat, both as a purely entertaining 1
feature, and for its educational value, |
the pageant may serve. I hope. as a |
suggestion to FL PasO as to what form ]
of entertaining may be undertaken if |
the idea is carried out that was advO- ]
