ENGINEERS VIEW ON REPORTED ]
 SHORTAGE IF IRRIGATION WATER

report.
 From careful examination of all the available records, and compari- son of them, I know that MT. Rock woods deductions are correct. The total acreage in the projects already completed or under way is approxi- mately 75O,OOO acres-leaving about 45O,OO acres for further development from the waters of the Colorado.
 The Imperial-Laguna water com pany has met with good deal of opposition from the people of the present projects, because of the mis- taken idea that an appropriation of water by the said company would jeopardize the interests of the pro- jects under way, increasing the dis tress in these projects by more ire quent and more serious water short age.
 The officers of the Imperial-Laguna water company have no desire to in- crease the troubles of people in the present projects, and they realize they will be doomed to a disastrous finan- cial failure if they attempt to develop their project without water supply and the appropriate water which is non-existent or which has been appro- priated and is being used for benefic- ial purpose. Hence it is, realizing the importance of the problems confront ing them, that they have made very careful and extended investigation of existing conditions before they have come to their present conclusions, viz that there is sufficient water in the Colorado river for their proposed de velopment in addition to the projects under way and that their develop ment will not in any way cause exist ing projects increased shortages of water.

BIBLE NOT WANTED
 IN ARIZONA SCHOOLS

In this state, as in many others, restrictions are placed upon the use of the Bible in the public schools. In Arizona the restrictions amounts to prohibition. The teacher who permits the use of the Bible or any sectarian or denominational book in the schools is liable to a revocation of his or her certificate to teach. The law was either thoughtlessly drawn or else it was inspired by a positive antagon- ism to the Bible.
 The object sought by other states of averting sectarian conflict in the schools seeNs to have been obscured in this sweeping interdiction of the Bible. In other states the Bible may be read; in at least one other state the reading is compulsory, but in that as well as the other states, com ment" or "sectarian comment" is properly prohibited.
 Arizona has the distinction of being the only civilized commonwealth that forbids unsectarian religious exer- cises in school hours, though it is stated that 'even the law of Arizona does not forbid reading of the Bible as history or as poetry or as ethics"
Arizona sentinel Yuma southwest., 1915-09-30

Here is his statement:
 The general impression in Yuma and in the Imperial valley is that the water supply of the Colorado river is not and has not been adequate for the irrigation of the lands already un- der canal, and that therefore, the de- ,velopment of any project not already under way will be very detrimental to all parties concerned.
 This impression has been based upon false deductions, viz: That be- cause the Imperial valley has often been very seriously short of water for irrigation purposes, the Colorado river water supply must nave been made quate.
 The facts are that the Imperial valley has at present an inadequate canal system to carry sufficient supply of water for her irrigation needs, and has consequently often been short of water when the Cobra do river was discharging over ten times the amount of water which could possibly have been used for irri- gation purposes.
 The duty of water on the various projects under the Colorado river has been quite accurately determined from the records of the various water companies. A record of the daily dis charge of the Colorado river at Yuma has been kept by the U.S.R.S. From study of these duty records and dis charge records, close estimate can be made as to the amount of land which the waters of the Colorado river will safely irrigate.
 C. R. Redwood, while acting as chief engineer of the Imperial Irriga- tion district, in an official report to that district, said that 100000 acres of land could be safely irrigated from the waters of the Colorado river with out storage.
 While acting as chief engineer of the district, Mir. Redwood would naturally have had the interests of the established irrigation projects at heart and would have opposed any ir- rigation development which would have jeopardized the water supply of the interests he represented Realiz- ing the importance of protecting the interests of the irrigation projects al ready completed and under way, and yet at the same time the economic de- sirability of further irrigation devel- opment, MT. Redwood made a care full study of the existing records be- 1 fore he made any statement in his

of the tea. put a cup of boiling water
