KILLED PROsPEcTOR.

Charles Lamb, the old prospecto1
and miner who shot and killed Rob
ert Yancy at Hart last week, had a
charge of murder placed against him,
Lamb did not know until after he
had given himself into the custody
of the sheriff that the shot he fired
had resulted in the death of Yancy.
Both of them have been on the des.
ert for years. The real reason for
the shooting will probably not be
known unless Lamb should testify,
Lamb is we'll along in years and his
Imprisonment will undoubtedly break
him dOwn.-Needles Eye.

LOW COST OF
WATER HERE
WITH OTHER PRO-
JECTS SHOWS PALO VERDE
VALLEY HAS CHEAPEST SYS-
TEN IN WEST.

BLYTHE, Calf, November 6.-The
low cost of water in the Palo
Verde valley as compared with other
irrigation projects found elsewhere in
the west is shown clearly in an ar
ticle by G. j. Blanchard, statistician
in a recent article in the Irrigation
Age.
The data published in this article,
which was collected from 80 private
irrigation companies and Carey pro-
jects, shows the average cost OF
water per acre as $53. This is ac-
tual cash cost AS most of the stock
was purchased by annual payments
bearing an average rate of interest
of percent the stock including inter
est actually cost the farmer nearly
$40 an acre.
Only one project in t. e entire num-
Der showed a cost OF less than $25
an acre. This Was q little 5000 ac-
re canal company in Idaho whose
water price was $40. The water
in the greater number of irrigation
districts cost from $35 to $780, Sew
eral of them went over 500 and one
project in Colorado cost the ranch
er $175 an acre.
In the face of these facts it is diff
ficult to see wherein any land owner
or entryman in the Palo Verde val
ley has any kick coming on the price
Of water here.
Palo Verde Mutual water costs
the farmer less than one-half the av-
erageprice of water in the 80 projects
referred to, and the list includes most
of the big projects of the west
The bumper crops raised in the val
ley this year are a witness to the
abundant supply of water that has
been available and the soil-enriching
qualities of our water is a point
that cannot be overlooked in compar-
ing It with other projects.
The greater portion of the projects
listed in Mr.. Blanchard's article are
located in a climate where one crop
of grain or four cuttings of alfalfa
are the limit of production. Our
two crops annually and seven cutt-
ings of alfalfa make the water doub-
ly valuable in this district. -.
Farmers in this growing valley
too often lose sight of these facts.
Palo Verde valley actually has one
of the lowest priced water systems in
the country and this fact is going to
have a growing Importance on the fu-
ture development of this country.

MURPHY FIGHTS FOR LIFE
So Osborne Regards His Attack
on Governor Sulzer.

the course of Governor Sulzer. attacked

vigor
Murphy got rich out OF politics." said
Nj. Osborne. land the question, How did
Murphy get rich?' that Jerome used to fire
at him so persistently has never been an
swered. In Governor Dix he found a will
ing agent for his purpose, but in william
Sulzer he found to his amazement, an
honest man
Murphy is go stupid and ignorant that
this feeling is perfectly honest. So what
is more natural than that Murphy should
grasp at the most effective weapon at
hand and get rid of Sulzer once and for
all? He must save his organization, for
the Governor has already struck blows
pretty near home. and there is no know
ing when somebody may 'squeal and the
whole rotten machine fly in pieces.
1T is the instinct of self-preservation
that is driving Murphy on, and it is high
time the same instinct should arouse the
people Of New York State Governor SUI

his alleged faults but because he is pro-

contention.
