THE SPRINGER VALLEY

Some promoter can add to IN,

five million dollars within one year.
The plan is feasible Nature has
done its full part It's left only for
man to use the energy necessary FOR
the accomplishment Of the work.
North and east Of Springer. at the foot
OF the Arbuckle mountains, two rock
ribbed detached mountains approach
each other; one comes from the,east
the other from the west These noun
tains are separated by what in noun
tain yernacular is called a gap
Through this gap there flows every
month of every year a clear stream
Of mountain water \ dam built across
this gap up to the height Of the noun

voluu@ Of water The lake would
reach ( away back into these canyons
and only an engineer can figure out
how much watey could be imrounGed,

the demands that would be made

has never been year when two
wettings would not have matured al
most a perfect crop on this vast acre
age of land. The increase Of the
yield in this valley each year from
ten per cent 10 fifty per cent would
add a vast sum Of wealth to the
county every year The improvements
outlined here would be for all time
to come and in the aggregate there IS
no way to compute the wealth it
would produce.
Coupled with this irrigation site and
located farther up in the mountains is
a waterfall that could be utilized to
produce electric power sufficient to
operate cars from Springer to Ard
more TO haul the products to market
The power would not only be suf.
iicient for this purpose but it would
light the entire valley with electricity,
1t would furnish power to the mills
and gins and shops and would grind
the feed. saw the wood and churn
the milk.
Contracts on the part OF land owners
to pay a certain sum for water and
a certain sum COR power can be used
as a basis for bond issue to raise
the funds for this work. The great
International Harvester company.
which has millions of wealth and
which makes its wealth out of agri-
culture, will purchase the bonds to be
used for building these two plants.
If the International Harvester COM
pany should desire to invest only in
the irrigation plant, the railway COM
pany which would build the trolley
line to Springer would take over the |
water power and electric plant and |
develop it.
We could 20 further into this plan |
and lay our hands upon the one man |
who can promote this industry, but
hat will be referred to him privately, !
md If the report of engineers bear
,ut the conclusions reached in this
.rticle there is no reason why such
plant will not be built within
reasonable length of time.

DALLAS NEWS AND LABOR.

| Whether the Dallas News is right
or wrong, credit must be given that
paper for having courage to take a
stand against organized labor when it
feels labor has taken the wrong step.
That paper came out In no uncertain
terms against the brotherhoods in the
threatened railroad s.rike and it has
spoken again more recently in a fight
that has been started against the
Dallas Fair board of managers. In a
recent editorial the News says:
The Texas State fair has been put
on the unfair list" OF organized labor
I by act of the Dallas Building Trades
council. The president of that body,
Mr.. J. p Conner, explains that the
Iungairness consists IN the fair asso.
cations having employed some non.
union workmen. He ADDS, as a minor
I grievance, that "the labor organiza-
tions have been unable to get a hear.
ing with the proper officials"
The officials of the fair association
are TO be commended. The commu-
nifty is TO be congratulated on having
at the head OF this public institution
men who will not even consider
proposal to make social and industrial
pariahs out of citizens who do not
happen TO bear the union label
Unionism can add nothing to a mans
right to labor for the support OF him
self and his family; neither can it
subtract anything from that right
Union labor is both impudent and i'm
piOus when it seeks 20 terrorism to
limi, or impair that God given right.
Private institutions are within their
province when they bargain or con
tract with unions FOR the supply of
such labor as they may need Public
institutions have no such option. 1t
is the duty of those at the head OF |
them to know men only as members /
OF the community. Such jobs as the |
state Fair association has to give |
must be held to be equally the op- |
portunities OF all citizens who care |
to undertake them and who are able |
to perform the labor satisfactorily |
That principle must be supported a;
all hazards and at all costs. The |
president OF the Dallas Building |
Trades council Is reported as having I
said that unless non-union men now
shall be discharged and |
their places given to union men. eve /
may ask every central labor organi- |
zatiou in Texas cities and towns. in |
Guiding the Farmers union. to place /
the State Fair OF Texas on their uu-
fair lists. and to request their mem |
beers not TO patronize IT," The fair
can much better afford to sacrifice .
their patronage than to do the thing
