QUESTION |S
 YET IN THE AIR
Most Economical Method for Cleaning bitches. Plan Thought Fine Col lides With Government Ruling on S-hOur Law.

Just hpw the canals and ldtcralS in this valley may be cleaned most economically is question that is still in the air. notuithstaading the effort of the board Of governors yes t,rday. to find q way out of the diff
 ficulty. For time it was thought .; perfectly fine plan had been evolved but Uncle sam himseIe stepped in and spoiled H. IT nas been claimed the water u@ers can clean the ditch cheaper than the reclamation service. that is. by con tract let out among the farmers themselves. At the regular monthly meeting of the board of governors yesterday, Mcssrs Fitch and Reed appeared and allowed they would prepare specifications for ditch clean ing. so that bidders may be informed on the point. The governors agreed and had just about decided they were on the right road, when some one re minded the meeting of the new eight hour law that vert into effect on ail government work last January l. And the whole scheme vert flooey!
 The water users have figured mighty cIcse on the ditch cleaning business. The government does the Wcrk pretty cheapy, so to underbid Uncle sam. a bidder would almost have to figure on a day of more than eight hours for his workmen. If the day is kept down to that length, the government can proba- bly clean ditches just as or more economically than any contractor. However. the engineers will go on preparing the specifications, and there will be some experiments con . ductcd between the Water Users as scciation and the reclamation serv- ice to determine just what is bes! and least costly. A lateral under the Grand canal in which every struc- turc has been installed. and which is a complete little system of itself
 will be used as d test to show what ditch cleaning can be brought to

COMMITTEE ID LOOK
 INTO POLLING PLACE
Water Users of South Side Petition Board of Governors for
 Polling Place.

Whether or not there will be q new and separate polling place for the members of irrigation district No. ,. who live south of the river. will be decided according to the report of d committee of investigations ap- pointed yesterday morning in the monthly meeting of the governors of the Water Users association. It was represented to the board yesterday in d petition from practically every farmer on the south side of district five that there is a great deal of in convenience in coming to the north side by way of the Central avenue bridge each time there is an election, and for that reason not nearly all the water users in said section get the proper representation in the affairs of the council and board In some cases d man must travel miles to get across the river and cast his vote at the Murphy schoolhouse, when if an additional polling place were to be established in district five some where South of the river, the repre- sentation would not be changed, though the vote would be enlarged. It is to be understood the southsiders do not ask for a new irrigation dis trfct but for an extra place to vote. which will be more readily reached by those living across the river
 The committee which was chosen to look into the matter and recom- mend action at the next meeting is composed of Joseph Cope, H. J. Hanson and J. J. Casey. They will have plenty Of time to make an in vestigation and report in time for the next election, which comes in 1 April

Restored to Health by Vinol-
Letter to Mothers.
Anxious mothers often wonder why
their children are so pale, thin and
nervous and have so little appetite.
For the benefit Of such mothers in
this vicinity we publish the following
letter.
J. Edmund Miller, New Haven,
Conn, says: "My little daughter, over
since her birth, had been frail and
sickly, and was a constant source Of
worriment. Several months ago we
commenced to give her vinol. / i'm
mediately noted an improvement in
her health and appearance. I gave
her three bottles of Vinol, and from
the good 1t has done her l can truly
say it will do all you claim"
This child's recovery was due to
the combined action of the medicinal
elements extracted from Gods livers.
combined with the blood-making
and strengthening properties Of
tonic iron. which r contained in
Vinol.
vinol will build up and strengthen
delicate children, old people and the
weak, rundown and debilitated. We
return the money in every case where
It fails.
