 The admission at this late date by Redwood that he intended to violate the law, disregard the Government, and do as he pleased, shows what sort of people the Yuma valley farmers have to watch to prevent their prop erty and lives from being ruthlessly sacrificed
 It is quite safe to assume, however that Redwood is just about at the end of his rope, for when President Hamilton Sets it where the chicken got the axe at the forthcoming recall election about the very first thing the new board will do is to give this self confessed law-breaker his walking papers, with the information attached to his card of dismissal that he has been carefully weighed and found woefully lacking in everything re- qulred by competent and honest off, ficial, for any man who will violate the law deliberately is man un- worthy of trust.
 It was given out late yesterday that by today the forces at Hanlon heading would be dumping brush against the rock-filled piling. Some thing less than 1000 car loads of rock have been dumped in the river at the trestle dam, which means about 10000 cubic yards of rock, or enough rock to build a solid wall all around the city of Yuma.
 It is also given out that Imperial valley is now getting almost the nor nal supply of water, after a forty-day shortage, causing loss of $4,00O,000 to Imperial valley farmers, according to telegrams sent Washington off, cials by Redwood, Conkling and Mr.

PARKER BOARD OF TRADE GIVES
 REASON WHY FLANAGAN SHOULD
 BE REELECTED ID LEGISLATURE

1 test wells on state school lands within the reservation (that is, the state will own these school 1 lands, valued at several hundred ! thousand dollars, when the reser- Vation is opened, and not before). These wells were completed early this summer, and they proved that there was an ample underground water supply for reclamation purposes-some of the wells pumping at the rate of one million to one and one-half million gallons of water every 24 hours under severe test condi- tions.
 The irrigation engineer employ ed by the state land department for this work has filed his report, and this is as far as the state land department has been author ized to go in the matter. 1t will require the efforts of Representa- tive Flanagan, who is in every particular conversant with the situation and qualified to do SO, to secure additional legislation for the purpose of carrying to completion the work already un- dertaken by the state.
 1t is impossible for any one to know the facts as he does without having had his experience.
 We feel that it is right and proper for MT Flanagan to carry to completion this work-that it is not only for the benefit of the people Of Parker, but that those interested are scattered through out Yuma county and the state, and that the opening of these lands will benefit the whole state in increased population and tax able wealth. MT. Flanagan will also properly represent the state and county in all matters that may come before the legislature. He has not sought this honor; but his friends have insisted that it is duty he owes to his con- stituents and to his co-laborers in the last legislature that he of fer himself this time. Those that may have been critical in the past or opposed to him cannot say that he failed them when he was most needed.
 Northern Yuma county is not asking much from our brothers in the south, and we would feel that they are very selfish indeed if they failed us now. However, we feel that they will accord us this favor and vote for J. B. Flanagan, both at the primary and general election.

TO tne voters or yuma county:
 We wish to call your attention to the candidacy of Hon. J. B.
 Flanagan of Parker for the state legislature from Yuma county, and the reasons why we would ask each and every voter of the county to support him at the pri- mary election to be held on Sep- tember 12.
 1t is not a matter of politics or personality with US, but a dire situation exists in northern Yuma county that requires his help un- der the circumstances. As you are all we'll aware, several years ago the government opened up a land scheme at Parker and in- veigIed numerous residents of
 
 this county and state into spend ing their money, and some they did not have, for "vaIuabIe town Iots," adjacent, to the Colorado River Indian reservation. Over $1oo,o0o worth of Parker town lots were sold on the strength of implied promises by the Govern ment that the reservation was go- ing to be opened to settlement.
 After the sale of these lots the Government then changed it's policy, and wanted to go down into Mexico and up into Utah and other adjoining territory and transfer a lot of genuine Ameri- can citizens Qndians) to these lands, instead of carrying out it's first intention of disposing of the surplus lands after the Indians belonging to the reservation were allotted. 1t was not sufficient for the departmental officials that millions of acres of Arizona lands are already tied up in reserva- tions.
 After many efforts, which fail ed the State of Arizona accepted. |. the provisions of the Carey Act, and we endeavored to get the surplus lands opened under the supervision of the former state land commission. This plan was also vetoed by the powers that be at Washington.
 Then we asked the Department of the Interior to open the surplus lands without recIamation-that we could install individual pump ing plants until the future would. provide for further reclamation; but an engineer in the service of the Indian department made an adverse report on the water sup ply to be had along the Colorado river. This report was in line with his departments efforts to put obstacles in the way of the opening of these lands.
 Secretary Lane, listening to our side of the story, told us to dem- onstrate the underground water supply and he would, if such ex- periments proved successful, open the surplus lands to entry and settlement.
 Then Yuma county sent B Flanagan to the legislature. Thru his efforts the state appropriated $7, 500 for the purpose of sinking
