Water Users Thinl- Govern ment Will Agree to Aid if State Will Pass Law Allowing Purchase of Such Lands

The development of water for school lands depends entirely upon the atti- tude of the state toward selling these lands, according to a statement pre- pared for tine press by the Water Users association yesterday. and based upon the attitude of the survey board, the reclamation commission and the sec retary of the interior. Briefly, the idea of these three is that if the state per mits the sale of the lands, the water users or the government, which ever is "handiest", will probably develop extra water supply so that they can be added to the project.
 The recommendation of the commits sion, which has been approved by the secretary, is as follows:
 That the state school lands culti- vated and uncultivated and other un- cultivated lands be not considered a part of the project at present. but that such lands or any part thereof may be considered as new unit dependent upon the development of additional wa

ter supply for such lands, except that whenever the water supply developed by the government system exceeds that required by the lands on a temporary rental basis, preference being given to the state school lands now under cul- tivation."
 State school land inside the exterior boundary line of the project and now under cultivation amounts to 11.030 acres. In case the legislature enacts a bill permitting the sale of these lands, the reclamation service and water us- CTS will cooperate to develop the water to supply them. Some of the lands now have water rights established under the Kent decree, which governs normal flow. others get water from floods or from the reservoir on a rental basis
 In the time extension bill, there is clause permitting projects to develop extra water supplies, the cost to be added to that of the original unit, and to become payable at the end of the twenty years. when the original debt will have been paid. It is under this provision that the board of governors of the Water Users association believe the United States would be willing to do some work for the relief of the | 900 acres
 Should these lands be added, the pro- ject will contain 1S2,97S.71 acres of farm lands and SPA acres embraced in townsites, the total being 1S1 30271.

FINANCES AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1

NEW YORK, March 9.-F'or the first time since the outbreak of the Europe an war, foreign conditions were sub ordinated to events nearer home. The latest developments in the Mexican situation as seen in the attitude of the Washington government, drew renewed attention to the southern republic af- fairs and excited concern in financial circles. Prices were firmer when it be- departed from the policy of non-inter- vention in Mexico. Recoveries to the early level were reported but trading grew increasingly dull with few mater ial changes at the close.
 The retirement of the Gould, or dominant interest from Missouri Pa cific and st. Louis and Iron Mountain roads was reflected by considerable ac- tivity at advancing prices in these se- curities. Later, however, profit talk ing in Missouri Pacific caused some shading of quoted values. Manipula- tion continued in so-called commercial securities, including motor shares, Sears and Roebuck.

SHEAR|NG 0F SHEEP
 ON DESERT BEGINS
The Annual Migrating to North Will Be Later this Year on Account
 of Cold Weather

The condition of the several thous- ands of sheep. which are being pas tured on the desert east of Mesa were never better than during the present season. This is the report of practically all of the owners of large herds that have been grazing on tie desert the past winter. With the abundance of green feed and the continued cool weather, it is probable that the annual migrating to the north will not be commenced as early as it is generally.
 The busy season in this industry has just begun, and many of the foremen of the different camps have been busy for the past week pur chasing supplies and securing the additional help necessary for the shearing and lambng season. Among the first of the shearing camps to be opened this year. is the one To- cated a short distance west of Des- ert Wells, or. in other words, seven miles east of Mesa. on the ROose- welt road, where the sheep belong ing to Fred Babby, are now being

TEMPE NEWS NOTES
DRAINAGE PROJECT
 FOR KYRENE COUNTRY
Nine Thousand Acres to be Rid of Water Which Flows Close to Surface and Greatly Flinders
 Successful Farming

The preliminary steps which will eventually provide drainage system for an area of nine thousand acres of land in the Kyrene country, south of Tempe are now underway, and according to the engineers the gen. eral outlook for the system are good. Various tests for water levels have been made over the district, and there is a possibility that one main ditch extending through the lowest portion of the area will be sufficient to drain all of the land under the project.
 The creation of the drainage sys- tenn for the Kyrene country has been a matter of current discussion among the ranchers of that section for many months, in fact years, and the fact that actual work is now under way is a matter of general satisfaction. Permission to organize Drainage Dis trict No. of this county was grant ed by the board of supervisors, a couple of months back.
 The engineers now in the field are making detail surveys of the pro-
  sinking wells to determine the depth of the surface water. There is a possibility now according to one of the engineers. that one main ditch dug to a sufficient depth and extend = ing through the lowest portions will drain the entire project. Per chance this would not offer a sufficient drainage, tiled laterals may be in stalled every half mile extending al ternately from either side the main ditch.
 As soon as a fair estimate is secur- ed on the cost of the project. the bond election will be called and the actual work put underway as rapidly as possible.
 Practically every farmer in the Ky rene district is now affected by the underground water which flows close to the surface most of the year. All are likewise interested in the drain age project and doing everything possible. individually and collectively to hasten it's construction.
