UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT
German Attacks Fail.

Paris, June 20.-Smas ashing repulses
of German infantry attacks on Hill
321, at Verdun, were chronicled by the
war statement, which also declares
that the German bombardment OF
Dead Mans hill and at Chattancourt
continues with great violence.
"In the German legions at Verdun,"
the statement says, "there are two
fresh divisions which have been
brought forward to recruit the losses
sustained in the long struggle. Many
of these recruits are of the class of
1916, and a considerable number OF
them are boys of the IT class who
have been practically forced to the
front. This is taken as an indication
that the Germans at last are facing
an acute shortage Of men,"

AID IS ASKED
IN RIVER WORK

Los Angeles, June 19.-Louis c.
Hill, consulting engineer, Saturday ad-
dressed the City Club on "The Colo
RADIO River and What 1t Means to
Southern California" and emphasized
the wisdom of conserving such re-
sources against waste and destruc-
tion.
Other speakers were: }. c. Allison,
for six years chief engineer of the
California Development Company un-
der the receivershir of Colonel w. H.
Holabird; c. L. Suits, secretary OF
the Blythe Chamber of Commerce,
who spoke of the Palo Verde valley,
and Colonel Holablrd.
Mr.. Hill said that the full develop
ment of the irrigation and power pos
sibilities of the Colorado river viii
require the cooperation of the federal
government, the states of Wyoming
Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada
Arizona and California, and the Re-
public of Mexico. He continued:
Fortunately fo- us in California,
the possible diversions above the
Grand Canyon, when the river flow is
regulated by reservoirs on the head
waters, will still leave an ample sup
ply for all the land in Arizoa or Cali
fornia which can be served by grav-
ity or by reasonable pumping lifts
besides the supply required for Mex
leo.
"Tke irrigation possibilities are
very great. The total possible area
Imperial Valley press., 1916-06-20

exclusive of all Of Arizona except
along the river, in the United States
may reach 100000 acres, of which
], 500, 900 are below the canyon. This
is all within the basin of the Colo
RADIO. There are now 100000 acres
irrigated.
"In Mexico, under the California
Development Company's system, 1885,
600 acres may be served, and on the
same side CT the river, but below Bee
river, there are 155,0OO acres more.
On the Sonora side 350,00O acres can
be reached, mostly by pumping. The
total area in Mexico on which it is
possible to place Colorado river wa
ter is, therefore, about 100000 acres.
Nearly 100000 acres can be served
below the canyon without storage
"The government has already ex-
amined storage reservoir sites. The
economical use of water from the
tributaries of the Colorado for the
irrigation of such land in Wyoming,
Colorado, Utah and New Mexico that
is or can be served, will benefit the
. lower lands if adequate storage were
provided.
california is vitally interested in
the irrigation of all land which can
be served by the Colorado river below
the Grand Canyon. Whether that lane
is located in Arizona, Mexico or with
in its own borders, it must all pay
tribute to Los Angeles.
at is hard to realize the full value
to California and Arizona of the enor.
nous possibilities of this great river
In the Grand Canyon, with a flow
regulated to the demands of irriga
.tion, there are possibilities of large
power developments. The gross re-
turns from the ordinary farm crop.
alone may reach $75,0OO,O0O.
can addition of 100000 irrigated
ceres should readily take care of al
additional population of million peo
rle.
"Co-operation along broad lines be
tween the great organizations of tn,
states affected and the federal gov
ernment, backed by insistent agita
ton, could soon bring action upon thu
scale necessary"
Mr.. Allison emphasized the advisa
hility of Los Angeles joining with I'm
perial Valley and other sections il
the campaign to carry out the pro
posed conservation and irrigation de
velopment scheme. He said in thi!
there is opportunity for "real pre-
paredness" of vital character.
Mr.. Suits said the people of the
Palo Verde valley, which is located
in the extreme eastern part of Riv'
erside county and north of the I'm.
perial Valley, were interested in the
river project and stood ready to CO.
operate in every way possible to help
develop the possibilities of an irriga-
tion system, etc.
In order that the waters of the river
may be conserved and not wasted,
Colonel Holabird suggested that the
Imperial Valley have canal running
through the valley with possibly seven
or more outlets. In other words, he
suggested the installation of "ro-
tstion SYSTEM" providing for the
supplying of water through laterals,
ETC., at regular intervals.
"Some person." said Colonel Hola-
bird, SHOULD follow up this matter
at Washington and be insistent in his
demands. The prosperity of this city
depends largely upon the $l0,000,000
that comes in from the Imperial Val
ley yearly and lesser millions of dol

WATCHING THE ROADS.

While it is travel that wears out
road, very few people have an idea
of the actual amount of travel on any
given highway. Local officials some
times report that travel is heavy on
road when not more than half a dozen
light vehicles pass a given point in
an hour Sometimes they will report
travel as light when, as a matter of
fact, the roads are being torn to pieces
by few heavy trucks engaged in con-
tinuous service on the roads. This
travel is really very important fac
tor among the conditions that govern
the proper choice of the type of con
struction for road.
For instance, there was we'll
known road in Massachusetts which
was put in condition that served
admirably for the quite nuner-
Gus carriages and automobiles then
using it. One summer it was no.
ticed that it was going to pieces rapid
ly and the reason was sought. Finally,
by making 24-hour counts of all the
users of the roads, it was found that
very heavy wagons had recently been
put on the road to haul ice. Such
travel required modification in the
construction of the road, which was
made when repairs became necessary
and resulted in returning the road to
70 onti Sfo az ory- condition
AS no really satisfactory planning of
roads can be done without definite know
ledge of the use of them, many of the
children in the country schools of
Illinois are now being trained to
make enumerations of the vehicles on
roads in their ncighborhood, under
their teachers direction, and the
counts are sent to the road officials.
Intelligent youths make excellent
travel counters with little training,
and local road improvement clubs will
do very good work if they will fol-
low the Illinois plan and have actual
counts made of the travel on their
roads. Such counts are just as import
ant in road improvement as taking a
man S measure in tailoring.

What can be done in building up
rundown farms in New England is
shown by the experiences of C. E. Bal.
die, of Kennebeck county, Me-, who
some years ago bought a farm in the
suburbs of Waterville for $1,000. He
has since brought the farm into q
high state of cultivation, great gullies
have been filled with rocks, stumps
and other refuse. What was origin.
ally but poor, rough land is now in
profitable culture and the farm is
worth $4,000. One thousand apple
trees were set out, and are now in
bearing. Over 80 tons of hay are
raised per year, and large quantity
of vegetables and truck crops are mar
keted by the owner.

THE REPUBLICAN CHOICE.

The Republican convention at Chi
cago last week adopted q platform in
harmony with the traditions of the
party. and better still it selected true
and tried Republican to stand upon it.
Justice Charles +. Hughes is in no
sense a dark horse or an unknown. He
was not selected as a negative candi-
date. a man of no opinion or tracta-
Bile politician. Indeed, his force of
character and independence of thought
and his record for having strong con-
victions were doubtless the main OBJ
stacles to his nomination on the first
or second ballot. Some of the political
leaders, especially those popularity
known as the cold guard" feared that
with Hughes in the White House they
might have less political influence than
they would like to enjoy. These men,
however, were forced to bow before an
irresistible popular demand, which was
apparent when the convention convened
and grew in intensity with each hour.
Justice Hughes acted with character
istic promptness on receipt of the news
of the Republican convention s action,
He at once resigned as justice of the
United States supreme court and then
| forwarded to Chicago his acceptance of
the nomination. 1t was embodied in a
statement outlining his views on ma
tional issues statement which is
vigorous and clear-cut, frank and I'M
equivocal.
Vermont Republicans have a right to
be especially enthusiastic about the
Hughes candidacy for they were among
the first to realize its possibilities and
take action in accordance Herewith.
Whether or not the Republican par
ty presents a united front in the com
ing campaign depends largely upon the
decision of Colonel Roosevelt with re
gard to the Progressive nomination
His conditional refusal to become the
candidate of that party for president
is generally believed to forecast his
eventual support of the Republican
nominee, and if he does take such ac
tion there is good ground for belief
that Democratic control of affairs al
Washington will cease the fourth day
of next March.

Tax Law Interpretation.
(Rutland News.)

(hutlanu NeWS.)
Some curious differences are being
disclosed in the various Vermont
towns in the effects of the changes in
the tax laws upon the grand lists In
Burlington the grand list dropped
over million dollars, while in Ben
nington it increased nearly hundred
thousand dollars. Probably if the work
were compared, it would be found that
in the $50 towns, more or less, in Yer
mont the tax laws were interpreted
and administered in approximately
$50 different ways. How could it be
otherwise, indeed, under our cumber-
some system? 1t is passing strange
that an intelligent people will tolerate
such an unfair and ridiculous method
of laying taxation.

strike in securing the presence in this
state of Admiral Robert Il. Peary at
the time the organization is formally
launched. The advance press notices
of the meeting, however, sound lit
tie extravagant. 1t is stated that it
is proposed to have the Vermont or
ganization "one of the largest aero
clubs in the world" 1t goes without
saying that there will be nothing lack

ton but it is flying pretty high to ex-
pect that it will be one of the largest
