 But, above all things else, the pre- sent low stage of the river shows the absolute foolishness of attempting to construct a ''high-line canaT' to con- meet with the siphon canal for the purpose of irrigating the Imperial county lands above the c. D. company system. If such scheme were now in vogue they would not have water enough up in those sand dunes to wet capary's whistle, let alone irrigate 216,000 acres additional to the acre. age already under cultivation in Im- perial valley, for Yuma project gets the water first, C..

WRITES BOOK OH
 D|6H|TY OF OYSTER

H. F. Moore, Deputy, Commissioner of Fisheries, at Washington, has now written a very interesting history of Oysters: The Food that Has Not Gone Up" MT. Moore tells us that the earliest American settlers sussist- ed largely upon oysters, and that the Indians along the coast were scientific enough to prepare them in the dry or smoked state, which enabled them to barter them in the interior of the country.
 On the Damariscotta River in Maine, where not single oyster is to be found there is a mound containing 7,000,000 bushels of shells. The natu- ral oyster beds were threatened with destruction and this resulted in the oyster culture, which has developed until about one-half of the oysters produced in this country, and nearly two-thirds of the value of the product, are derived from artificial beds. In 1911 planters spread 17,OOO, 900 bushels of young oysters, shells and gravel over their 500,000 acres of oyster farms; and they harvested a crop of over 15,000,000 bushels of oysters, worth to them approximately $10,- 100000.

VILLA BECOMES ACTIVE;
 L0zADA LEAVES TOWN
<By Benjamin Franklin r1y)


 According to authentic telegraphic news received in Yuma this morning, radical military changes are in pro- gress throughout those states in Mex ico dominated by Villa and Zapata
 Contrary to reports that have been given out to the press during the last two weeks, Villa still holds Torreon, and has no idea of abandoning Chi huahua or Juarez. He is, however, rushing an extra force of well-equip- ped soldiers to Nogales, with the ayowed intention of driving General Gales out of Sonora or utterly ami hilating his army.
 Douglas, Naco and Cananea will fall easy prey to Villas forces, after which he will swing across the mountains to Guaymas and Mazatlan, join forces with Zapata and thence on to Mexico City.
 That is the immediate plan of Gen AAlei olA0 1llo 1OlAOWO1O. OuL Ol QSlSI- ence to his promise to General Scott, Villa has recently avoided a conflict, but in view of the depredations being committed in Sonora by Carranza followers, Villa has resolved first to rid his domain of that element and then strike death blow at the very gates of the First Chief.
 The next ten days will bring about a great change, according to my in- formant.
 Senor Don Jesus R. Lozada, Villas consul here in Yuma, has been trans ferred to Calexico. He left for his new post this afternoon. Last night he was rendered a farewell reception at the Avila residence as token of the high esteem in which he is held in this city. MT. and Mrs. James Hodges, the Balderas family, Misses Margaret and Francis Hodges, Miss Noriega, Misses Chavez, Miss Jennie FolndmuS, MT. NunO and the AVlla family were among those doing honor to their departing guest.
 Il am really sorry that duty calls me from Yuma," said consul Lozada this morning, flor 1 have been most royalty treated by Yuma's citizens, all during my stay here. And I am more than sorry that my sudden departure prevents me from saying goodbye to all those who have been so kind to me. Important matters are about to happen in Mexico, however, and 1 am ordered little closer to the border. 1 hope to visit Yuma frequently, though my new home will be in Calexico."

DR. MEAD's SPEECH
 10 APPEAR SATURDAY
(By Benjamin Franklin rly)

| Yuma Daily Examiner that I am in receipt of the original copy of Dr. Elwood Mead's speech, which was promised when he was in Yuma as view for the reservation unit of the i. Yuma project. The speech should have reached me several days ago, but did not for the following reasons, as explained in Dr. Mead's personal letter to me. Under date of Sept. 21, he writes My Dear MT. Fly:
 q am distressed to know that you . did not receive my speech. It came about in this way: I thought MT. Clark (his private stenographer) had mailed it and he thought I mailed it, and we have both been looking at every copy of the Examiner, and won- dering why it did not appear"
 The explanation is satisfactory, my dear Doctor, but don't let it happen again.
 Now, let me say few words to the land owners on the Yuma project:
 I regard Dr. Mead's speech as the greatest treat, along the lines dis cussed, that has ever been given pro ject formers! It is a masterpiece from a deep thinker, from master mindl
 It is exactly what I predicted ir would be, at the time Dr. Mead prom ised to send it to me for the Yuma Daily Examiner.
 It is not only revelation of what is in store for project farmers, but a genuine revolution of thought along the line of state and government aid to those who are brave enough to go back to the farm, and honest enough to attempt to make a living on the desert lands for their loved ones.
 Dr. Mead's great speech is arranged under nine distinct headings, as fol lows:
 1. State Aid in Land Settlement.
 2. Present Methods Wasteful, Un- scientific and Most Unfair to Settlers.
 3. Influence of Profits from Land Sales on Rural Development
 f. The Need for Study of the Eco homie Problems of Settlement.
 5. State Aid in Reclamation of the Public Lands Indispensable.
 G. State Aid in Land Settlement Success in Other Countries.
 z. Conditions Favorable for Change in America.
 8. State Aid Would Entail No Ex- pense on the Public.
 g. The Objection of Paternalism
 Lack of necessary time to "set it up" precludes the possibility of it's publication in today's issue-but this much talked-of revolutionary speech, this speech from the best posted man on irrigation in America, this great speech of the farmers greatest cham pion, will appear in full in the Yuma Daily Examiner on Saturday, Septem- Der 25, 1915.

 WATER IS BEING USED

chance to see, and if you want to smell something that will remind you of Ordinance No. A. for all the balance of your natural born days, just get aboard the U. s. R. s. motor car and ask the conductor to put you off op- posite the c. D. Company's diversion dam at Andrade!
 Then walk to the dam, about 300 yards, and see with your own eyes that the mighty Rio Colorado is now completely damned up at that point!
 Not a drop of water flows below the dam! The stream has been complete ly diverted into the c. D. Company's canal and is being conveyed to I'm perial valley-water, sand, silt and all!
 And, what's the result?
 Fish, by the hundreds and thou sands of tons, fish enough to feed the European armies, more fish than the human eye ever before rested on at the same time, are laundering about in the mudholes, or left high and dry on the sands, greet the eye as far as you can see down the river-and this, too after thousands and thou sands of To-, 20-, and 30-fb. salmon and other species have been buried in hot h the co. D. Companys workmen.
 And yet, with all this precaution to guard the public health of that locali- ty. the "fishy stench" actually made me think I was again reading "Ordi- nance No. 4" when I visited the diver sion dam yesterday afternoon in com pany with MT. O. P. Taylor, the nov ing picture man, who took a series of fine moving pictures of the diversion dam, the canal intake, the suction dredger, Indians catching the half-ex- hausted fish-and in fact a birds eye view of the whole surroundings.
 The Colorado keeps falling. Never before in its history has it been so low at this season of the year as it is at the present time, and the flow being so sluggish the sand and silt is settling to such an extent all the way from the diversion dam to Yuma that before another rise the bed of the river will more than likely have raised several feet, which will greatly en- nance the danger of overflow when the annual high water reaches Yuma next spring.
 On Monday of this week there was but 27O0 second-feet of water in the Colorado at Yuma, and it has remain ed around the 5000 mark ever since This is equivalent to about 6,000 acre. feet per day, including sand, silt and everything else, and in view of the fact that all of this is now flowing in- to the Imperial canal, farmers of the Yuma valley who get water from La gunas settling basin," where 50 per cent of the silt is removed by the said settling process, can readily appreci- ate what their Imperial valley neigh bors are up against" from the silt standpoint.
