service has never sought to question curta the prior
rights along the stream When B. NJ Hall was asked at
the 1904 irrigation congress what the government
tended to do with the land possessing prior

diversions but that nobody would be allowed to use

having the future Of the project placed in serious
jeopardy BY the acts of few individuals IN the New

the reclamation service and who evidently desire special
treatment for themselves different from that which
the FL Paso valleys enjoy and different from that which
the land owners all other government projects enjoy
The contract over which the deadlock has come is

It would seem as if better way would be for the

Bedtime Story For the Little Ones
'Uncle Wiggily and the Wild Goose"
By HOWARD B. GARIS.

SGVTOU are going somewhere, I do

Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the musk
rat lady housekeeper. to uncle Wiggily
LcGgears, the rabbit gentleman. as he
came downstairs in his hollow stump
bungalow one morning. You are going
somewhere are you not. Wiggy2" she
asked, sort Of playful like.
You are right. nurse Jane. 7 VIII
not deceive you 7 am going for lit
ale ride in my airship." uncle Wiggily
said.
Then the rabbit gentleman put some
talcum powder on his Whiskers and ty-
ing his tall silk hat under his ears with
piece Of ribbon grass, he put a sofa
cushion under his paw and set forth
Going in your airship. eh2" re-
marked nurse Jane, who had just fin
ished having a little game OF hide and
so seek with the player piano
Yes, I thought I would take q little
fly in the air. as il is such a nice day"
uncle WigSlly went on. W. uld you
like me TO stop at the store and get
you anything" he asked the muskrat
lady, with a polite bow.
why. II you don't mind, please bring
me some postage stamps" nurse Jane
requested Il want to send a souvenir
postal to aunt Lettie, the goat lady"
stamps you shall have, as many as
YOU like" uncle Wiggily promised.
Then he went out and with a bicycle
pump belong ing TO Bawly No-Tail
little frog boy, the rabbit gentleman
blew up the toy circus balloons of his
sirship with hot air, TO make them
rise.
Uncle WigEily's airship was made
from a clothes basket with q bunch of
toy balloons tied on in front to make it
90 up in the air. An electric ian that
went around WhizZie-izZie pushed the
airship ahead over the treetops. And
uncle WiEgily always took sofa cush-
ions in the clothes basket with him.
This he did so, in case anything hap
pened TO the airship and it fell, no one
would be harmed.
Soon the old rabbit gentleman was
sailing away as nicely as you please in
his airship- Up and up he went, pulled
upward by the toy balloons. and over
the treetops he flew. blown by the
electric fan

Soon Uncle Wiggily reached the store,
where he bought the postage stamps for
nurse Jane Fuzzy WuzZy. He put them
in his tall silk hat where they would
not stick together. as flypaper some
times does in warm weather.
We'll, now. I think I viii fly over to
the pen Of Grandfather GOosey Gander
and see how he is today" uncle Wiggily
went on. Il thought he quacked a little
hoarse yesterday and he may want me
to go for Dr. FOssum to get him some
cough syrup"
Uncle Wiggily was sailing nicely
along in his airship, when, suddenly. as
he looked at the sky above him. he saw
a wild goose flying along calling out:
'Honk, Honki Honkity- -honlkl"
That means he wants TO have a
friendly race with me" laughed uncle
Wiggily- Very well, we viii see who
can first reach grandfather GOosey
Gander's house and have tea"
So the rabbit gentleman made his air
ship go faster and the wild goose
Tapped his wings as rapidly as he
could, crying again and again.
"Honk, Honkl Honkity-ho -honkr'
But, all Of a sudden. just as the wild
goose was flying little ahead Of uncle
Wiggiy, there came another sound
"BangH IL echoed. ''Bang!"
Hal Some one shot a gunr cried
uncle Wiggily. Il hope they are not
shooting at my airship.'
But the airship was not damaged-at
least not just then. 1 am sorry to say
it was the wild goose who was shot.
One Of his wings was broken, and all
crumpled up, he fell downward through
the air.
-Oh, deari" uncle Wigsily cried.
That is too badt1
Hardly had the rabbit gentleman said
that than the poor wild goose, vainly
Tapping one wing, came down right.

balloons and the airship began falling,

broken winged wild goose, too For the
goose had fallen into the clothes bas-

The Ell PasO valleys GO percent Of the land

for Of stored water this year In the New Mexico
valleys, only percent of the land have signed,
and there is bitter opposition to the identical contract
which the Texas people have accepted without question
One provision of the contract is that water from the
dam shall be furnished to any person not member

The board of governors of the EI Paso association

and only urged the members to sign but personally
secured their signatures many instances The board
Of governors Of the Mesia valley association refused
to approve accept the contract and brought every
pressure to bear members to prevent them signing
with the result that go percent Of the land owners
withheld their signatures.
On May I, after six weeks official and definite
notice, water shut off from lands in the Mesa and
other New Mexico valleys whose owners had not signed
the government contract. No water viii be furnished
