watered by the border system.
As the ditch was low compared
to the land many fields could not
secure water at an ordinary stage Of
the ditch. and each man put in a
check gate across the ditch below
his head gate. which being lowered
into the water raised the level suffi-
ciently to give him a head. As this
endangered the safety OF the ditch,
II was required that each man should
keep an attendant at the gate at all
times when running water. This
check gate was called by the Mex
leans reyalsa, hence the attendant
was called rcyalscro, terms which
are In use at present by all the water
users. As 1t was dangerous to keep
the reyalsa down. and an annoyance
and expense to keep a reyalscro en-
ployed, II was desirable for both the
water user and the ditch manage

Associates Are Miner and Henderson

ment Work Other
Changes.

London, Dec. lO.--The official list
OF the new ministry issued tonight
follows the unofficial forecasts with
two or three minor changes. MT
Lloyd George. Lord Miner, Earl Cur
zon, Andrew Bonar Law and Arthur
Henderson form what is officially
termed the war cabinet, while the
others, who ordinarily have been des-
fgnated as cabinet ministers. are
called heads of departments.
An important point in this novel
organization is that it copceptrates
far more power in the hands of the
prime minister than the British sys-
TEN has ever known before. Mr.
Lloyd Georges proposals TO Premier
Asquith were for a war council, OF
which the premier should not be a
member. although he should have the
power of passing on its work. Mr.
Lloyd George has not hesitated to
place himself in a position more
closely resembling dictatorship
than he was willing TO give his pre-
decessor.
The war cabinet will hold daily
sessions. directing the prosecution OF
the war, and the freedom OF Mr.. Lloyd
George, Lord Miner. and Mr.. Hen
derson from departmental duties wilt
allow them 10 devote all their time
10 the war council.
The work OF the exchequer and the
government leadership in the House
OF Commons will absorb most OF Mr.
Bonar Laws time. and attendance on
the House OF Lords will require Earl
Curzon's absence from the council
frequently. So that. Mr.. Lloyd George
Lord Miner and Mr.. Henderson will
be the chief directors OF the year.
For practical purposes the govern
ment will be cabinet OF four.
Whether there Is any plan for meet
ings OF all the heads OF departments

Administration campaign managers will not overlook the fact that mebili. zation of the national guard will af- ford a satisfactory explanation for some items of increased expense and that possibly this may furnish a plausible explanation for increased taxes. Formerly, it was the war in Europe that caused increased federal taxes. Now it will be the war or the threatened war with Mexico.

WORKS, NOT WIND WANTED.

Senator Ashurst can hardly hope to be reelected on his ability to secure public buildings for his constituency. He may be the gifted orator, and eleetrify the senate with his brill fancy, bupt while he is talking the other senators are running away with the appropriations for their states. Take look at the record of Senator Warren of Wyoming. He has passed bills appropriating s65,000 for post office at Thermopolis, town of 150O population, $67 ,000 for a post office at Newcastle, town of 1000 population, and $75,000 for post office at Sun dance, an inland town of 400 popula- ton. If Senator Ashurst would only reduce his oratory to minimum, and crowd on more power for real work for his constituency, perhaps Arizona might get a few publir buildings
 where they are so badly needed, at places like Flagstaff and Winslow
 Arizona needs a working senator if it expects results, and not an orator to win, idle plaudits. Winslow Mail

Farmers in the states bordering on
 Canada, who have been watching the tremendous strides taken by Canada in taking a commanding position in the American market, will not let the "he kept us out of war" nonsense blind them to their own interests. For instance, Canadian shipments of meats of all kinds to the United States during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1913, under the Republican tariff law, taotaled $121, ,267. During the fiscal year 1914, nine months of which was under the democratic tariff law, these shipments totaled S2,530 ,000, displacing over 22,000,000 pounds of meats produced in America. During the fiscal year 1915, in addi- tion to supplying British and Cana dian troops with meats, Canada sent us over $5,400,000 worth of her meat products, displacing over 00,00O pounds of the American products. If the cessation of the European war finds us with democratic free trade in operation, Canada will have a high old time with our market for meats

Chief Justice White sat down hard upon the plan to make Judge Bran deis one of the Mexican joint com mission. Another man whom the president had picked to be member of the board declined with thanks and the job of selecting the arbitra- tors was passed over to Secretary Lansing. Negotiating with Carranza is evidently not to be classed as the favorite indoor sport-to say the least. However, there must be plenty of deserving democrats" will ling to take the job.

The heated term has no terrors for the members of the new rural credits board. They are about to begin a tour of the country for the ostensible purpose of locating the cities where the land credit banks are to be es- tablished. They begin their trip at Portland, Maine, delightful at any time, and especially so in hot weather, and will go thence, by a northern route, to the Pacific coast. Last sum- mer the deserving democrats" all managed to go to the San Francisco exposition at government expense on one pretext or another. This year some of them are finding new meth ods of getting agreeable vacations at the cost of the taxpayer.
 Senator Hardwick, democrat, of Georgia, says that if his state were not so overwhelmingly democratic the management of the postal service dur ing this administration would cause the state to go republican. For the same reason, many states that are not so overwhelmingly democratic will witch to the republican column ir November.
