ENOR RIVER CONTROL.

l. Practically alone among the
newspapers of the valley, the Press
has consistently and persistently
urged on the valley the necessity for
getting busy on the control of the
Colorado river, at the very earliest
day, that the work can be completed
before the next flood in the river, and
this journal has urged that it is at
least worth the effort to try to get
the appropriation before congress ad
journs,
1t seemed that the sentiment of the
valley was so decidedly in favor of
Irostponing action, because of doubt of
success of the effort, that the Press
had given up hope of seeing perma-
rent work done the coming winter.
! Now, however, Stoddard Jess, one
of the leading bankers of Los Angeles
and ore of the staunchest friends of
the valley in that city, has urged the
valley to try for the appropriation at
once, and has pledged Los Angeles to
send tc Washington two of its ablest
workers, to use the offices of the
commercial bodies of that city to work
cut The desired end, and has given fur
ther assurance that San Diego and
all the other cities of Southern Cali
fornia will work with the valley to
secure the appropriation.
President Hamilton and the other
directors of the irrigation district have
been loath to act, because they have
had expressions from Secretary Lane
and Congressman Kettner of doubt
of the success of the effort.
But Mr.. Hamilton says the effort
will not jeopardize the bonds, will not
work to the detriment of the district,
and It would be better to have the
appropriation in August than in De-
tcember.
1t is simply question whether ii
/ is desirable to make an effort that
may fail, and the Press has continu.
ously urged that it is worth the cf-
/ fort
A meeting of the board of directors
Of the irrigation district and also
meeting of the directors of the I'M
Iperial Valley Chamber of Commerco
will be held in Ell Centre Tuesday
Afternoon, and the Press emphatically
believes the tender of the aid of Los
Angeles and other cities of Southrn
California should be accepted and that
we should make the fight for the ap-
rropriation.
The mere threat of the river TO en-
ter the valley this summer cost the
valley immensely more than Ell the
control works required would cost, and
temporary works to keep the river out
of the valley next summer will alone
cost in the neighborhood of quarter
of million dollars, while works that
are admittedly temporary in their
character will not restore to the out
side world the confidence in the valley
which is necessary for it to go ahead
as it should.

Country Houses Not as IncOnvenien
as Formerly.

as Formerly.
In the current issue of Farm and
Fireside James A. King, an agricul-
tdral engineer, writes an article en-
titled "a Home Water and Sewer
System" He describes one that was
installed in an Iowa farm home and is
now in successful operation. In the
following extract from his article he
makes a comparison of the old-fash-
ioned farm home with the modern
farm home:
"a farm home offers advantages
that cannot be had in town or city at
any price. They are advantages that
go far toward making a wholesome
and happy life. Until recently town
and city life afforded certain physi-
cal comforts which were not to be
had in the farm home, and the abb
sence Of which detracted greatly from
the attractiveness of farm life. These
were the advantages and comforts
that go with furnace heat, water
works and sewer systems. But re =
cent developments now make it pos
sible to have these advantages in the
country home at no greater expense
than in the city home. So now coun-
try life holds out all of the advan-
tages, with none of the disadvantages,

DEATH IN CAPITALS ALLEYS

took to comm round-and the presi-
dents wife. too-they felt kinder
'bliged to spruce up"
The speaker was gaunt colored
woman of sixty-fve, writes Edith Ell
mer Wood In the Survey. The family
was one of Washington's alley dwell
lers who came to the alley through
misfortune, not shiftlessness or vice.
Attention has been called many
times to the contrast between the al
ley death rate and the death rate on
the streets of Washington. In 1910
the death rate in the streets of Wash
ington was 1856 per thousand inhabi-
tants and in the alleys 5000; that in
the alleys more than one child out
Of three died before it was year old
whereas in the streets the proportion
was less than half as high.
The tuberculosis rate Is almost un.
believable. 1t Is more than three
times as high as the tuberculosis rate
for colored people living on Washing
ton streets, though even there the rate
is very high, and more than ten times
as high as the rate for the white pop
ulation of Washington. 1t is as high
as the total death rate from all causes
in Chicago or Kansas City. The per
centage Of arrests to population in al
leys is 1898, or very nearly twice that
Of the general colored population.
Yet it seems as If the alley prob
lem of Washington were nearing a So
luton. Congress Is at last thoroughly
aroused and will, it is believed, treat
the matter as a national. not merely q
local issue. For it seems obvious that
the nations capital should be a model
for the nation-not a warning.
