RECLAMATION PLAN
 APPROVED BY WILSON

A good investment, is the way 1t strikes the Examiner, that proposal of
 Secretary of the Interior Lane to de-
 vote S9OO,00O,O00 to the reclamation of arid lands in the west and southwest will meet with hearty approval in Ali
 zona where so much taxable wealth has already been created througI: the
 operation of the reclamation act un. der which the great reservoirs and irrigation systems at Roosevelt and Laguna have been erected.
 Mr. Lane has received assurances of support from a large number of congressman and senators from the west and southwest, including the Ari- Z0na delegation. who are all Keenly interested in the proposition.
 Arizona, and Yuma county in par ticular, is perhaps more vitally inta- ested in Lanes plans than any other state, as she has a far greater area of land which may be made wonder fully productive by irrigation than any ether state in the union. The plan may be broadened to include in it- scope the reclamation of all the arid west, and the vast swamp landS in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and ca of the Missippi river. It will re- ceive the support Of many national legislators from the states which would be thus benefited.
 A southwes tern congressman ir as srring Secretary Lane of his hearty support for the scheme, said: ''The investment of $30O, ,00O, 900, if that amount is needed, in the reclamation plan would be a better investment than the building of the Panama canal.
 As a matter of fact, whatever is expended in adding to the areable land of the county would be merely temporary investment, for it would be raid back into the treasury in the sale of the land, thus giving value" he said, while the whole country would benefit in the increased nrodl,ctio the widening of opportuni- ty and the growth of thrifty, pros. perous population
 This seems to be the general idea Secretary Lane hopes to be able to outline his plan in December in his found to be impossible, carefully measure will be introduced in congress at the earliest possible and it may be said on high authority that it will have the hearty and support of President Will son.

WASHINGTOND, D. G., Oct. H.

 This was recently illustrated when a party of tourists stood gazing 1t one of the show buildings ill Wash ington. One man in the rarty, point ing to the Roman numerals nigh up over the door said: What the dIece 1oes that MCMVI business mean UP there?"
 Why said another, don't you know? That's a mark the contractor 2uts on It's his trademark.
