SOX WIN SEVEN OUT OF EIGHT
BUT GAIN ONLY HALF GAME
BY Mark Shields

Wednesday night the standing of
the clubs in the American league is
apt to be the way the teams will fin
ish in October. By then the Sox will
have completed a series with St.
Louis, Detroit will be through with
Cleveland and Boston will be head
ing westward, after completing a set
with. Washington.
The locals have the hardest angle
of the schedule with three games
against the Browns. The whipping
of Russell was a great blow, as Reb
is the most dependable man on the
staff and usually good for win to
open a series. Winning this first
game means confidence.
Every time the other contenders
decide to lose ball game the Sox
take a day off and jam in some rag
ged baseball. That means they can't
advance oyer the mistakes of their
competitors. Since leaving the east
the South Siders have gained half a
game on the Boston Red SOx, despite
the fact they have won seven out of
eight played. It is heartbreaking to
Keep pegging away at winning gait
and fail to advance on the people out
in front.
Boston, Sox and Detroit each have
three games remaining with the
Mackmen, so there is no advantage
there. Detroit has three games with
the Yanks and the other two have
four each. These battles are sure to
be vigorous. contests, as Donovan
now has in the game the club which
went out in 'front.' during the early
part ofthe season.
The only thing that favors the
westerners is the fact that they are
at home while the Red SOx are on
the road, and even that may not be
enough if the Carrigans play as they
did on their last swing through this
section of the country.

Has Advantages
In brief, an irrigation district
has the same advantages over in
dividual organizations as has an CT
dinary corporation, as city Or town,
when organized into a municipal
corporation, over an unorganiZed
school district. The advantages Of a
municipal corporation, under which
cities and towns are organized, over
the system existing prior to such
organization. are so manifest that
further discussion on that point is
unnecessary.
I'm many respects the irrigation
district system is similar in it's pur-
pose and effect to school districts,
county organizations and city mu-
inequalities, differing only in details,
the character of the details depend
ing on the prpose for which organ
lied. Irrigation districts have their
officers the same as county and
school districts, possessed with the
same taxing power, manner of col
lecting the taxes, ETC., with which
taxes thus assessed the construction,
operation and maintenance charges
of government projects are paid.

Water users associations which
have the supervision OF completed
reclamation projects, will be super
seded by irrigation districts and
thousands of acres of private lands
not signed up for water and much
unentered public land will be made
liable for the cost of the reclamation
works if the plans Of the United
States reclamation service are car
ried out The change will enable
land owners to borrow money on
first mortgages, it is said

with headquarters at Helena, has
just received copy of H. Rf 1886,
approved August II, authorizing
such irrigation districts, and a state
ment bearing on the matter made
by Judge Will r. King chief coun-
sci of the service.
The New Law
Montana has law providing for
the creation or irrigation districts
whereby 81 per cent of the land
owners in a given area can force the
minority of 40 per cent to form
district for the reclamation Of the
land in that district. The new fed
eral law permits such district to in
clude unentered public lands and Ell
tered lands, the title to which has
not yet been secured, providing the
secretary of the interior approves
of the project. While the govern
ment will not become responsible for
charges against the land, these
charges attach as leins which must
be cleared by an entryman before his
application is allowed
It is pointed out that there are
thousands of acres OF private lands
within the boundaries of govern
ment projects, the owners of which
declined to sign up for water, but
whose holdings have been enhanced
in value by the construction Of the
ditches
Force Owners In.
II land owners on the projects who
have already signed up for water,
proceed with the creation of irriga
tion districts they will force the
owners of private holdings into the
districts and thus reduce the recla
nation cost per acre by distributing
it over a large area.
Judge King says in part:
"The advisability of adopting the
irrigation district plan in place Of
the water users system has been
materially increased by passage of
house bill No. 1886, known as the
Smith bill. This bill brings the rec
lamation service of the government
in full harmony with the irrigation
district plan.
Subject to Liens
1T subjects the land, the title to
which may still remain in the United
States, to liens for irrigation dis
trict purposes, requiring thereby
that all lands, whether entered or
unentered public lands, bear their
share of the burdens of the con-
struction, operation and mainten-
ance charges of the project included
within the district, extending the
