NOTES OF 1O1 RANCH
 AND BUFFALO BILL

One of the big surprises of the year 1 has been the amalgamation of the | famous Buffalo Bill and 101 Ranch 1 shows. Both exhibitions have been
 known to the public for many years, because they typified all that was best in the line of frontier exhibit ons. The fact that the combined shows will shortly exhibit in this city and that Buffalo Bill will be here in person will 10 doubt create very general interest. The new military spectacle which the com bined Buffalo Bill (himself) and 101 Ranch shows offer this season, is entitled Preparedness, and to judge from comments elsewhere the title is a very fitting one. The pur- pose of the display it is announced, is not only to afford the patrons of the show a big and realistic military display, with all the color and thrills of so strenuous an entertainm ent, but also to arouse public interest in the 1 enlargement of the army and in "pre- paredness' for defense in case of pos- sible attack.
 All the soldiers utilized in the new Buffalo Bill-101 Ranch military spec tacle, Preparedness" are, it is an- rounced, loaned" by the United States war department, which has granted the men furloughs in order to participate in the display and to give f genuiueness. The display has al- ready had a very marked effect in stimulating enlistments. Colonel Will liam F. Cody Buffalo BilD actively participates in the. military maneu- oH iro thn hot Ia hnt United States cavalrymen and a band Of Indians led by the famous Sioux, Chief Iron Tail which is a stirring feature of the exhibition.
 It is probable that no other indi- vidual in the United States, outside of Colonel William F. Cody (Buffalo Rill,) could have interested the gov ernment to the extent of loaning SOL diers from the regular army for use in military spectacle, as has been done in the case of the Buffalo Bill 101 Ranch shows Colonel Cody, whose life and deeds are part of American history, was formerly chief of scouts and has been intimately as- sociated with the military heads of the United States army for years. It is also known that he would not as- scciate himself with any exhibition that was not thoroughly genuine. For this reason he and the great show to which his name is attach have, it is announced been selected by the war department to spectacular ly bring home to the people of the country the need of military "pre- paredness."

While the principal feature of the combined Buffalo Bill-101 Ranch shows in the big "Preparedness' spec tacle, which is said to be the amuse- ment sensation of the season, the frontier features always naturally as- scciated with the name of Buffalo Hill, have evidently not been neglected, and scores of Indians, cowboys, cow girls and other characteristic people of the ranch and prairie are an- nounced to present a vivid picture of life on the border

r EFT THE WORK PROCEED.

IL The Progress yesterday morning both through ali
editorial and communication from Clark Adair urged
srenuously that work proceed to prevent repetition OF
the shortage next summer Overlooking the fact
that the Progress heretofore has insisted that this
shortage did not exist and did damage if it did exist
The Press wishes to join the Progress and Mr. Adalr IN
urging that the preparatory work shall proceed.
But it is desirable that there be very clear under
standing Of the situation IN order TO understand why
work is not proceeding.
The Progress claims that the recall advocates are
responsible for blocking procedure but IN this It must
know that is absolutely IN error Here are some Things
which had happened before the recall movement hao
started
The district had defaulted in interest its bonds.
The valley banks, the Los Angeles banks and the n1u
lual water companies had let the district know that it
had exhausted its credit with them.
Engineer lockwood in interview had admitted
the failure of the west side canal TO prevent the
water shortage this year.
During the last six months, exclusive of permanent
hettermens it has cost more than Slo0 an acre foot to
bring the valley water which the receiver showed
profit at 80 cents an acre foot
Mr. Adair says: "The directors of the district can
borrow money and finish it (he irrigation SYSTEM IN
cludng the Mexican heading and the $1,000 day set
ling basin).
If they borrow the money what is holding up the
work? If they can borrow money Why have they ever
aid up the dTedges for lack Of funds?
Now, the whole proposition is this: The valley banks,
the Los Angeles banks the mutual company Off
cas and the public at large have been staggered by the
rank eXtravagances and mpracticabe schemes Of the
managers OF the district and no money will be FORTH
coming until there is complete change of management.
1t is true work ought to be in progress. BY all
the dTedgeS ought TO he kept busy But after
district in haf year has spent $275000 alleged bet
termens Of doubtful value and 100000 operating
penses to bring in 100000 feet Of water the
agers surely can blame but themselves if they
sufficient money pay the wages Of dredge
There is only way by which the district can be
put in position go ahead with the work which ought
not to stop for minute, and that is put in
;gement that will command the confidence of the
from whom money must be obtained.

DROGREsSIVEs AND HUGHES.

i The action Of the Progressive party III N'cmgan

speech of President Wilson before the

says:
This speech is the most eloquent
manifestation of President Wilson's
work for peace and of his desire to be

aliuding to the rights OF small states,
which include the questions of the
future Of Belgium. Serbia. Poland and

President Wilson answers the Pope.
who was the first TO raise a voice de-
Tending principles which the war may
have obscured nomentarily. but which
remain immortal.
The President and the Pope invoked
return TO Justice and fraternity
among tho peoples. Their union is a
consoling spectacle among the painful
sights of this period OF blood and
hatred. Even If President wilson's
initiative falls, the world must rejoice
at his intention"
The Tr!buna likens President Will
sons suggestions to advice to put salt

while ideally appropriate, are useless.
