FEDERAL AID NEEDED

farming lands being washed away
by the food waters of the Gila
river, has aroused the people oi
this valley and they have finally
decided to ask through Senators
Smith and Ashurst and Congress,
man Hayden for an appropriation
of 100000 by Congress to con-
troll the food waters Of the ella
river.
The people of this valley have
been very patient for years in this
matter, in face of the fact that then
lands are being carried away every
time the. ella river reaches food
conditions and that they have been
unable to secure relief from Con-
gress, when other communities in
this State and other states hnd 1t a
very easy matter to secure federal
aid in matters much less worthy.
Congress appropriated $oO,OOU
recently to reconstruct the govern
ment dam near Yuma and protect
that city from the waters OF the
Cila and Colorado rivers. Con-
gress has also appropriated large
sums for other parts of the coun-
try, which have been damaged by
the recent foods. and it is time
now that Congress did something
in the same line for Graham coun-
ty. which is situated in the State OF
Arizona and the United States OF
America.
The people Of Graham county
are not asking too much when
they seek federal aid, which should
have been given years ago, to con-
fine the waters of the ella river
within its banks. Our congressional
delegation find it easy enough to
help the San Carlos dam PROPOSE
ton, when a little attention to the
needs of the ella valley for pro-
lection from the ravages OF the
ella river by constructing a dam
or dams on feasible sites on the
Gila and Frisco rivers. would be
Just as easy to accomplish, would
be a great help to the San Carlos
dam and save thousands of dollars
to the farmers of the valley. who
are now losing valuable lands
every year.
Resolutions have been adopted
by the Gila Valley Water Users
and Farmers Protective Associ-
alton, the Board of Supervisors
and the Stafford Chamber of Com
merce, and these resolutions have
been forwarded to our senators
and representative in Congress.
Hon. W. w. Pace will make the
