Government Requirements
For Desert-Land Claims

Clay Tallman, commissioner of the
general land office, has made new
rules regarding filing on desert land,
and it is understood they are in line
with the desires of the men seeking
the opening of the 100000 acres de-
signed to be covered by the Laguna
Water Company.
In brief, the rules require the
claimant to make showing of his
ability to secure water before the fill
ing is accepted by the government
In its operation it is expected these
rules will require all claimants to land
in the region to be opened to make
a showing of ownership of stock in
the company.
OF course any other showing of
ability to get water would be accep-
table, but there probably will be no
other means.
The ruling will thus be barrier to

No. l Water Company Busy
Increasing Canal Capacity

President Fawcett of Imperial Wa
ter Company No. tells an interesting
story of the work the company is do
ing IN preparing to supply the whole
valley with water this year.
Owing to the rapid expansion in
the irrigated area of the valley, it had
become evident that during the COM
ing season the main canal would be
unable to carry sufficient water for
all the companies unless greatly en-
larged. Negotiations were pending
for weeks for this to be done by the
several parties in interest, but these
failed, and then Water Company No.
took the problem in hand, contracting
with Lee Little to furnish as many
4-horse teams as should be required,
up to 100 teams, in raising the banks
of the main canal.
Already more than half of the max
imum force is at work, and President
Fawcett says that as result of this
work every company in the vallev
will have all the water it desires
throughout the year.
The main part of the work to be
done is between Sharp's Heading and
the Cudahy gate. but wherever there is
need for work to increase the capacity
of the canal it will be done.
The Importance of this is shown bv
the fact that there is to be a greater
addition to the irrigated area this year
than in any preceding year, and the
shortage would have been serious if
the canals had not been taken care of.
This work would have devolved on
the Irrigation District, had the actual
transfer been made of the system to
the district, but as yet the district
is without legal authority to act in
the matter.

w. F. Holt Suggests
Plan for River Control

w. F. Holt is again in the city and
this morning he outlined to the Press
what he considers the most important
work ahead of the valley.
He said he thought it inadvisable
at this time for the county to bond
itself to the limit for good roads, be-
cause permanent work for river con-
troll is of much greater Importance,
and the county might be called on to
issue bonds for putting the river into
its old channel and holding it there.
In fact, Mr.. Holt though it might
be a good idea to get special bill
through the present legislature en-
abling this county to issue bonds in
the sum of million or million and
quarter, for use in Mexico in con-
trolling the river permanently. Should
this be done, he believed that the ma
tional government and other interests
could be depended on to bring the

Government to Demand
ReparatiOn from 3 Nations

Washington, March 12.-The Bra
lillian minister at Mexico City has
sent a dispatch to the state depart
ment today that John B. McManus.
an American, was killed Thursday by
Zapatistas occupying the city. Me
Manus was killed while defending his
home from Zapatistas, who accused
him of Staying several of their num-
Der when they evacuated the capital
several weeks ago. The state depart
ment asked the Brazilian minister to
demand satisfaction and punishment
of the men responsible. 1t stated
that a message from Zapata expressed
regret and promised that the culprit
would be punished.
Later it developed that the Brazilian
minister had wired: "McManus was
murdered in cold blood and his body
riddled with bullets"
The minister had placed the seal
of his legation on the McManus house
before he was killed and the Ameri-
can flag was flying over it at the
time of the outrage.
These details were withheld in the
flrst announcement, but later the de-
partment verified them.
The incident has presented such an
alarming aspect that the entire cabi-
net meeting today was devoted to it
and to developments in the case of the
Eitel Friedrich.
The government is determined to in
sist upon a speedy punishment of all
concerned. 1t indicated that the dan
ger lies in Zapata losing control of
the soldiers.
The cabinet decided to demand COM
nlete satisfaction in the case of the
William p. Frye, sunk by the German
converted cruiser.
After the cabinet meeting Secretary
Bryan telegraphed the Brazilian min
lister, asking him to insist that Gen.
erc' Salazar, commanding the Zapa-
tistas, punish summarily McManus'
slayers, and make reparation to his
family.
Secretary Bryan admitted that Nc
Manus' death and the murder of sew
eral Spaniards were not the only acts
of violence which have marked Zapa-
ta's occupancy of Mexico City.

Situation Improved.

ing the conditions as shown by the
banks, and there was a vast improve
ment, especially in the last 30 days,

Excitement Mounting Higher
AS Contest Draws to Close
ENTHUSIASTIC CANDDATEs DIR FAN OF VOTES SUBSCRIPTIONS
AND AUTOMOBILE RIDES GENEROUS FRIENDS TAX
ING AN ACTIVE PAR I In THE CAMPAIGN
WILL THESE BETHE WINNERS

Three weeks from tomorrow the big
contest will come to an end and three
popular candidates will receive prizes
worth $3.50 or more each, while four
more will be presented with prizes
ranging from the 500 diamond ring
down to the $50 watch.
There is not a moment to be lost.
Time is valuable these days. Most
candidates find it impossible to de-
vote more than an hour a day to the
contest, for at the end of that time
their enthusiasm is gone or they are
tired, even if they have plenty of
time on their hands. But wise can
didates are making that hour a day
count, and big lunches of votes are
being gathered together in order to
win the 81 400 Oldsmobile or the $3.50
Kimball player piano that is on ex-
hbition at the R. L. Harrel music
store in Ell Centre. The Seeley lot
is also an attractive prize, for it cost
the Press $3.50, and will doubtless be
sold by the winner for that price, or
better, Just as the prize lot adjoining
it was by the winner of that prize in
last years contest.
They Dream of Contest.
Candidates who have obtained best
results so far are now getting so eX-
cited over their prospects of winning
the 81 400 Oldsmobile 3 weeks from
tomorrow that they dream of votes,
subscriptions and automobile rides.
All day long, wherever they go, votes
are constantly being rendered to them,
while most everyone they meet prom
ises to subscribe or to otherwise assist
in the campaign.
Friends Worth Having.
Popular candidates are now being
actively assisted by generous friends
who know they are going to win a
big prize and are anxious to have it
prove to be the 81, 400 automobile
Not only have they given their own
subscriptions, but they have obtained
other subscriptions, or at least paved
the way for contestants to obtain
them.
1t is an easy matter for a friend
to bring votes to a candidate by mere
