POOR Belgium

In the spring Of 1908 there was organized and
promoted in the great Sacramento valley of Callfor-
MIA reclamation land project known as The Nato-
mas Consolidated.
Upon this project, involving some 100000 acres of
land, there were foated and sold bonds to the
amount of $16000,000.
These bonds sold in all parts of this country
and some even found their way into western Europe.
Last spring the company defaulted on the interest
and a reorganization was decided upon. Then came
the task of calling in the bonds. Meantime war was
declared and the European bondholders were hard
70 find, but finally reorganization was affected
with SO per cent of the bonds in hand.
The other 2 per cent are lost, but they have been
traced to Lege Louvain and other ruined cities OF
Belgium, where the bonds and doubtless their own
eTs were lost.
The facts are that millions of American securities
held in Belgium have been lost in a similar manner,
and there is now no way by which the heirs will be
able to get their heritage But it is fairly certain
that the close Of the will bring more claimants
for lost estates' than any previous tragedy in the
world IS history.

Let the Women Beat It

IF a town be given over to one single industry a
single fact that threatens that industry may make
whole town sad said Secretary Redfied in his DIAL
las speech.
Secretary Redfield concentrated whole sermon
in that one sentence. This country is dotted with
towns owing their existence to single industries,
where the male population of the town depends on
such industry for employment. Generally speaking,
these little cities boast happy prosperous and con-
tented citizenship
Yet illegal combinations of unlimited capital
more popularity trusts-are threatening these indus
tries and these happy communities more and more.
Every day sees some independent concern close down
its plant or be forced into combine. They must
scrap heap their machinery or cut their employees
wages. There is no alternative.
That is why whole towns ARE sad

GRADS ARE ARRESTED

PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 16 = John
Emmett, Ashley Stelzreide and r. j
Mcbride three graduates of the state
industrial school, have just been
placed under arrest after an almost
unprecedented campaign of chicken
stealing in and near Phoenix Stelz-
reide and Mcbride, who were being
held in the county Jail for commit
ment to the school at Fort Grant,
succeeded in making their escape
with the aid of Emmett, and joining
their confederate embarked in the
chicken business. According to their
own confession they were making a
net profit of $40 per day selling
stolen fowls to Chinese hucksters
when caught. Emmett, who is over
1S years of age, is being held for
trial. The others have been sent

IN MESOPOTAMIA

No further disaster seems to have
overtaken the British forces in
Mesopotamia, which are now more
than 100 miels away from Bagdad,
which was almost in sight when the
defeat occurred. Having safely re-
treated so far, there is a more hope
full chance for the expedition to es-
cape from the trap in which it was
caught. But although reinforcements
and fresh supplies are said to be on
the way, the chance Of taking Bag
dad does not appear to be brilliant,
if only because Turkey has a sensible
advantage in communications. Nol
will Germany fail to exert itself to
the utmost to prevent the seizure Of
one of the main prizes of the war;
1t is no doubt due to British sea
power and to the way in which the
empire has grown that the British
military mind thinks naturally in
terms of expeditions" while the
Prussian military mind as naturally
expresses itself in sweeping mass
movements. The trouble with this
expedition up the Tigris and Euph-
rates was that Prussia law at the
other end Of it.

CAN YOU BLAME THEM?

In Minneapolis recently an examina-
ton was held among the juniors of
university on questions of national
importance. Among the replies to the
80 questions it was found that certain
students were of the opinion that Will
liam Jennings Bryan is the president
OF the United States. Another said
Mary Pickford was shot in Europe
for espionage. Grover Cleveland and
Woodrow Wilson were former presi-
dents, and one youth opined that st.
Paul received the Ten Commandments.
One gave Sherman as vice president;
another mentioned Lansing for the
place. THE Golden Horn" was put
in Wall Street by an advanced pupil,
while another said it was near
Gibraltar.
There is some of the above which
we take from the news columns, that
sounds somewhat extravagant in it's
foundation. We have an idea that the
reporter was excited in the mad rush
to get the news article on the wire.
However, there is much to be cred
tied, and it would not surprise us in
the least to learn that even more
ridiculous answers are made from day
to day by the college boy.

particular, but of the system. The
fact is that college students are not
told anything about the days affairs.
They are schooled in books and
trained in academic subjects. Well
wager that there were not three out
of the Minneapolis class who couldn't
recite at least two paragraphs from
Caesars masterpiece, and perhaps a
line here and there from the Ana
basis. But out of the entire class
there were. very probably few who
know anything about the Balkan
national elections
1t may be that the modern students
time is occupied to it's full extent with
the studies incident to their course
and he necessary physical relaxations,
but it does seem incredible that col
leges find it unnecessary to set aside
at least some part of the study day
in which the growing generation
might familiarize itself with the
worlds timely affairs. NO office
clerk Wsssld make such glaring err
rors as those mentioned in the news
item to which we have referred, how
ever little he may possess of a col
lege training. And it is a serious
question today whether the absence
of study of the days affairs in the
college curriculum does not constitute
a handicap to youths who must later
take their places in the world they
do not understand.

TO DEVELOP GlLA
RIVER UNDERFLoW

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Dec. 1.-THE un-
derflow of the Gila river will be
made to furnish water for irrigating
$4,000 acres of land in Yuma county
if an application just filed by the
state land department is granted and
the plans Of California syndicate
are carried out.
Some months ago. S. H. Woodruff,
a Los Angeles millionaire, became
interested in a project to tap the
underflow of the Gila river near
Palomas, and to pump the water into
canals for the irrigation of large
tract of land. A preliminary appli-
cation was filed by the state land
commission, and the land surveyed,
in accordance with the requirements
of the Carey tract. Engineers who
have investigated the scheme declare
it perfectly feasible, and that an
abundant water supply can be OBJ
tanned. 1t was in view of these facts
and the showing made by the COM
pany that the formal application for
withdrawal under the Carey act was
filed.
For a long time it has been known
that the underflow of the Gila river
is very large. How to utilize it was
the problem At last engineers hit
upon the plan of sinking a series of
caissons in the river bed, and in
stalling motor driven pumps to lift
the water from these pits to the de-
sired level After a careful investi-
cation of the flow and engineering
tests, it is now believed that the
company will be able to develop
water supply for $4,000 acres, lying
between Palomas and Aztec station
on the main line of the Southern
Pacific If the project is carried to
successful completion, it will be the
first Carey project of Importance in
Arizona.
