Different View Point.

The fact that certain farmers on
the west side of the valley are
suffering loss of crops because OF
the failure of the C. D. Company
to supply water has led to general
sympathy for the farmers, but in
the minds of many people the Hol-
ton Power Company is wholly TO
blame for not maintaining electric
power when the water on which
it depended was taken away from
it in the same way.
The lack Of power in the valley,
which last night made the Press
three hours late and which dis
commoded people in all parts Of
the valley, is due to the fact that
the demand for water for irriga-
tion purposes on the East Side has
taken the full capacity Of the East
Side canal, and the supply for the
power plant has been cut off.
There is being rushed to the ut
most, however, the transmission
line for bringing in $4,000 volts,
and it is only matter Of a very
few days to the time when the
power troubles will be ended
AS matter of fact, when W.
F. Holt financed the building of
$250,0O0 power plant two years
ago, and again this year when
he financed 100000 transmits
sion line to bring in additional
power, he did work of vast good
to the valley, the benefit of which
all will share.

Britain Ready to Strike.
(By Herbert Temple)

London, Aug 4.-Striking like a
thunderbolt, Germany has gained an
early advantage by hurting troops in
to Russia and invading the neutral
Dutch Luxembourg, where she occu-
pies strategic points.
With her customary deliberation,
England waited to the, last moment,
but is now ready to strike, and strike
hard.
The panic among the $4,000 Amer
leans increased today. The condition
of many is pitiful. They are with
out funds or friends and must depend
on Ambassador Page for food and
lodging. Page is doing all possible
for the needy ones, but requests are
flooding him. Some had not had food
for nearly a day. Last night, not
having the prices of lodging, many
slept in chairs in hotel lobbies, at the
railroad stations and in city parks.
The order mobilizing the British
army is now being read in the streets.
