Dan w. Weist Gives Views
On All-American Canal

with heavy opposition from Imperial
Valley. l talked the matter over with
great many people over here and
they seemed to think it all right, but
objected to the cost of building
through Now, in my opinion, if this
proposition would cost $40, or even
$50, an acre, it would be cheap, as
we have in the last ten years lost
more than three times over the cost Of
this work All kinds of arguments
have been put forth BY the opponents
of the project, even TO the point that
Mark Rose might make S4 or So out
OF it." AS far as l am concerned,

little about the construction of the

the river, with settling basin back
of each one of these gates wnicn
takes out all Of the heavy sand and
practically all of the silt. All the
water coming out of the basin is an
overpour and when the basin becomes
full it is only matter of raising the

and cleans it perfectly clean, not need
ing any pumps, dredges or anything
else, only the river itself. Just stop
and think what this means in the
matter of our maintenance expense in
cur mutual water companies. The ca
nal leading from Laguna follows the
mesa around opposite Yuma, where
it is taken through great siphon un-
der the river for the irrigation of d
large body of land on the Arizona side.
The Reclamation Service now is ex-
tending the service on all the available
Indian lands on the California side.
! Another objection brought out is that
we would be in great danger from
cloudbursts, etc. will say that there
isn't any more danger Of that now
tl'an there has been, and the govern
ment is operating twice the length of
canal that we would be obliged to op-
crate down TO Pilot Knob, without
any interruption to speak Of from
this source. And our ditch would be
protected most Of the way by the mesa
on the north side. AS a temporary
proposition. the water could be
brought down to Pilot Knob and de-
livered TO the Alamo channel, as with
the absence of the heavy sand one
dredging of the Alamo would make it
do for some time and then as fast as
possible we should construct an all
American canal on American soil for

some time have been thinking Of
expressing my ideas on the water sit
uation in Imperial Valley. | came to
Imperial Valley more than ten years
ago, looked the situation over and de-
cided that il was the best thing | had
ever seen. | returned home and talked
the situation over with my family, and
the outcome was that we moved here.
We had net much more than arrived
i'm the middle of the desert ten miles
northeast Of Brawley when the big
break in the Colorado river occurred,
practically putting everybody out OF
business. After a great deal of time
was lost, land and crops destroyed,
the Colorado was again put back in
its place and we went ahead. The
next thing was the receivership of
the California Development Company.
Practically every year we were served
with water shortage and the receiver
WAS condemned and everybody con-
nected with it was condemned until
i. seemed that the people hated to
hear the name "Holabird" or &C. d.
Co." and were casting around TO set
anything else, as they felt that any
thing was better than what we had.
After good deal Of discussion pro
and con it was decided, through the
leadership of John NJ. Eshleman, that
it was up to the people TO get con-
irol of the business and run it as they
saw fit. Mr.. Eshleman and a man
the country telling the people what
could be accomplished through the
organization of an irrigation district
connected with Laguna dam on all
American territory, which naturally
appealed to everyone, as we felt that
the worst menace we had was the run
ming of our water through foreign
country, where we were liable TO be
held up at any and all times by some
freak foreign law or complication. The
consequences were that an election was
held and a district organized. I'M
mcdiately after the organization was
effected the Laguna dam and all
American canal were apparently for
gotten and from that time on there
was nothing thought Of but to close
up the receiyership and buy the very
thing we didn't want. After great
deal of time had been spent, the re-
ceivership was closed up and the
Southern Pacific Company succeeded
in dumping their stuff on us for &c.
100000. Our District has apparently
developed into political machine and
from my observation we are in worse
condition today than at any time du-
ring the period Of receivership.
This leads me up 10 my pet object,
and that is the Laguna dam and an
all-American canal. In 1911 ! went
to Bard on the west side of the Colo
RADIO and the first thing went TO see
was the dam, which to me at that
time seemed the greatest piece Of
work ] had ever seen. The govern
ment had absolutely harnessed the
great river for the benefit of all the
people over there. ! Immediately be-
can TO inquire around TO find if there
was not some way whereby we could
get the benefit of this great work and
found that the people, as well as the
Reclamation Service. were anxious and
willing that we should connect with
that project, but it seemed they met

LITTLE EDlTH's GARDEN.

"a little Girl, named Edith, had a
Garden in the back Of her Mothers
Garden which was all. all her own.
She was devoted TO this Garden and
spent many hours over It. She had
n path made Of Stones-great large,
fiat ones which she called Stepping
Stones. and everyone who walked
through her Garden had to walk on
the Stones. Then she had a little bor-
der Of Ferns, and in the center we're
Plants. and Seeds which were going to
come up into Flowers.
"She waited for the Seeds to come
up-but all she found were Snalls.
Lots and lots Of Snalsl They were
everywhere And no leaves or Flow

If mean. Edith asked herself. Every
year she had had such pretty Flow
ers and everyone had thought her Car
den very beautiful.
"She tried again with more Seeds

them-but not a bit Of Green anywhere

self, If the Snalls eat up my gardenY
