Survey Boards Final Re port Approved With One Change by Reclamation Commission, Leaves State School Lands Out
DEFINITION OF
 PROJECT AREAS
First Unit Fixed, and What ever is Cost of Construc- tion Work, Found by Re view Board, That Unit Will Pay It

Setting the acreage in the first formally defined unit in the Salt river project at 72,275.71 acres Con which the construction cost of work done up to the time of opening shall be assessed), d report of the survey board, changed slightly and approved by the reclamation commission, ar the governors of the Water Users association the fact that state school lands were to be excluded from membership in the reservoir. Under the provisions of the report, not even a legislative enactment, permitting the state to sell school lands to the lessees, will qualify such lands for ID cmbership
 Excluding school lands constituted the only change in the report submit ted by Messrs Hanna, Parish and Parker. The water users have worked to have school lands recognized The legislature will be urged to permit the sale of such lands to their lessees.
 In defining the limits of the pro- ject, the board classed lands as fol- lows:
 Acres (a) Cultivated lands subject
 to reclamation act. .172. 2.275.71 (b) Lands in townsites. ... S,324 Co Cultivated state school
 lands ........ 11,030 (d) Uncultivated subscribed

Three Main Features


 Three Main Features
 There are three punches to the re- port Of greatest interest to all the farmers of the valley, is that of the limit of the acreage on which the present construction cost is to be as sessed. Later lands brought into cul- tiVation are recommended to be classed in a separate unit so that the further construction costs (com- prised in pumping plants and in a storage reservoir on the Verde river) can be assessed only against the lands befitting by the increase in de- veloped water supply However the reclamation extension law. passed last August, provides that such further construction work. if undertaken by the reclamation service, can be paid for in annual installments. due and payable after the tWenty-year pay ments on the original unit have all been collected.
 The second important item affects school lands. excluding them from taking out shares in the association at present. but recommending that in the event the present works should develop excess water. such water may be applied to cultivate school lands. then uncultivated subscribed lands and lastly uncultivated school lands. Preference is always given lands

SO the little boy took off his hat
politely to the Granny and went on up
the hill.
The wind was coming down the hill
as the little boy climbed up. AS they
met. the wind turned about and went
singing along beside him II whistled
in his ear and pushed him and drop
ped a pretty leaf into his hands to

Tho wind cannot speak IN our words
but II went singing on ahead Of the
| little boy until II came to an orchard
There II climbed up in an apple tree
and shook the branches. When the
little boy caught up, there, at his feet,
lay great. rosy apple.
The little boy picked up the apple.
IT was as much as his two hands could
hold II was as red as tho sun had
been able 10 paint Il, and the thick,
brown stem stood UP as straight as a

He took his jackknifo from his pocket
and cut the apple straight through the

inside the apple lay star holding
brown seeds.
So the little boy called Thank YOU
to the wind. and the wind whistled
back, You're welcome
Then the little boy ran home to his
mother and gave her the apple.
1T is too wonderful to eat without
looking at the star, isn't it?" he ask

My Winter Garden

walked in my garden, my loved
summer garden,
When snowdriits cast blue shadows
deep.
No insects, no flowers.
No bird songs in bowers,
But brave little chickadec's peep
And there In my garden, my loved
summer garden,
Where roses and lilacs had blown,
Stood COLLINS and witches.
With pins and with switches.
And other strange creatures, un-
known.
A clown wore a steeple, where sun
flower people
Had Iazily leaned on a wall.
And AL garden pickets
Were marked with white tickets,
And posts had grown suddenly tall.
