The streets we're crowded with cotton
last Saturday, and more people from the
surrounding country were here than
during any other one day this season.
The continued rise in the price of
cotton has kept the gins running on full
time. The crop is short, some claiming
that more than one-half of it has already
been ginned and marketed.

The graveling on the hard-surface
road leading from this place to Bossier
City was completed last Saturday even
ing. We presume the new work has
since been given true surface and
rolled, and will be received when the
Police Jury meets next week.
Good progress is said to have been
made on the big ditch which is to drain
Phelps Lake into Red River. The
ditcher is working steadily away every

has already been completed. Should
the fall months prove dry no doubt re-

Ahead If They Can Get
Land to Water

Asking the cooperation of the state
in the reclamation of 10000 acres of
land on the Hassayampa at Morris
town, Eleanor S. Whitman, hacker of
the project, has written the state land
commission to ask what Arizona will
do to assist in carrying out the plan.
Water rights, dam sites, and right
of way for the pipe lines from the
proposed dam on the Hassayampa
have all been secured, but nothing
can be done until some arrangement
has been made about the land. Title
to this is held by the state, and I'M
less it is relnquished or some agree
ment decided upon, it would be use
less for those interested in the pro-
ject to go ahead with the construc-
ton.
Mrs. Whitman, who is financing
the proposition, inherited the water
rights and site of the old dam on the
Hassayampa which was destroyed by
flood in 1889. The land which it
is planned to irrigate lies southwest
