OF the city was that If il waited until

In order TO see whether the Concor-

control since the annexation act was

state superintendent Doughty Tor an

"Replying 10 your favor OF the 18TH

visement with your county attorney

The men OF affairs in that section

They realize that something should
be done to conserve the flood waters

only go to waste. in that they run
down the bed of the stream. but they
destroy much property IN the form OF
headgates Of established irrigation sys-
tens, and washing away river banks.
and many times destroy farms in
proximity thereto
The government has been appealed
TO for aid in the daming OF the river
at a point well up stream where
storage can be found. and surveys are
now being made with that end in
view.
1t is said that II the flood waters OF
the Pecos can be brought under con-
troll more than 100000 acres Of fertile
land may be added TO the crop produc-

WILSON sails To

To GRANDCHlLD
President Received Favora
bic and Unfavorable News
With Equal Calmness.

Long Branch, Nov. 9.-President
Wilson left here at 7:45 o'clock this
evening on the naval yacht Mayflow-
er for Rhine Cliff, n Y, to take a
train tomorrow for Williamstown,
Mass, where he will act as godfather
for Eleanor Exum Sayrc, youngest
child Of Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, the
presidents daughter He will leave
Williamstown Saturday afternoon fol
| Washington, arriving there Sunday
night.
Up to the hour of his departure,
final figures on doubtful states, had
not been received, although he had
been assured by Democratic National
Committee Chairman Mccormick and
Col. f. M. House, that he had been
reelected. Maintaining his calm at
titude, President Wilson issued no
statement before his departure, and
continued to take the positio nthat he
would await definite information be-
| fore making any claims. Secretary
Tumulty and other officials, however,
grew more and more optimistic in their
comments on the election returns.
Secretary Tumulty did not make the
trip with the president, but remained
at the executive offices, receiving re-
turns. Arrangements were made for
forwarding any really important
messages to the president by wireless.
The president remained in his study
most of the day and was infrequent
communication by telephone with
Secretary Tumulty, Chairman McCor-
mick, Col. House and other Democratic
leaders. Favorable and unfavorable
news was received by him with almost
equal calmness. On his trip tonight
he was accompanied by Mrs. Wilson,
Miss Margaret Wilson and Miss Helen
Woodrow Bones, cousin
Shortly before he left, the president
was assured that he was certain to
carry California, and probably New
Mexico and North Dakota.
Fred Lynch, Democratic national
committeeman from Minnesota, tele-
graphed he was sure of the state.
President Wilson's departure for
Williamstown brings to close his
summer vacation here. according to
Secretary Tumulty The staff at the
executive offices will leave for Wash
ington tomorrow morning, and will
transfer their activities to the white
house.

FATE AMENDMENTS
~ AND 13 UNKNOWN

Little Rock, Nov. 9.-Now that the
returns from the acts and amendments
are coming in, it appears that the vvot-
ers exercised careful discrimination
in voting on the various measures,
Act No. 1, for the new primary, cleo
ton law, proved the most popular OF
all, and has won easily, two to one.
Act No. 2, the liquor law, proved
the most unpopular Of all, and has as
been defeated by majority of two to
one. The defeat of this measure is
more decisive that it's opponets had
dared hope for.
Amendment No. IS, for the extern
sion of the initiative and referen-
dunn, has been defeated decisively, due
to some extent, to having become en-,
tangled with No. 2 during the last
DAYS of the campaign.
Amendments No. IL, the school tax
and No. ID, the road tax, are leading
in the votes cast for the measure, but
not in the total number Of votes cast
in the election, and may lose on thai
score.
